So.. here is my situation:
I live in Austria where the watch hasn't been introduced yet. I ordered a AWS 38mm in Apple Store Germany and let it send forward the watch to Austria by a company.
Unfortunately, I forgot to order the AC+ with the watch. I thought: no problem, I'll just get it after I get my watch on the phone.
Well, not the case. They wouldn't let me buy the AC+ because first of all, there isn't any in Austria yet. And secondly, although I have an address in Germany, they still wouldn't sell it because I don't live there. If I had said that I'd live there, that wouldn't be a problem at all. (I should've lied, my bad.)
So now I'm returning my watch that I had now for like 30 hours and I ordered a new one with AC+ (because I can use AC+ in Austria although I bought in Germany - I just cannot buy it now).
I would wait until AC+ is available in Austria, but as far as I know I have to buy it during the first 60 days and I'm not so sure, if the watch and/or AC+ will make it on time to the Austrian market.
What I wanted to ask/say with this post:
- Fellow third/fourth/or-never wave country orders: Order the AC+ too, if you ever want one!
- A question: So now I'm waiting for TNT or UPS to contact me for the pickup date (to return my watch). Does anyone know if it is possible to let them pick it up in Austria although I bought it officially in Germany? Or do I have to send it to a German address and then have them pick the watch up there?
EDIT:
I wanted to give an update to my case.
When I was on the phone yesterday with Apple support, they told me it is impossible for TNT to pick it up in Austria.
Today, the Apple support (not the same person as yesterday) told that this is no problem at all.
So now, I'm waiting for my watch to arrive (which is already shipped) and for TNT to pick up my AC+less watch.
