You've got at least 4 days for them to get back to you one way or the other then.
Hope they get it sorted for you. It's pretty ****** if they have policies that are us only, especially when things are already priced at a premium abroad.
Got a tip for us?

L wallpaper please 
From the MacRumours article posted last year on this topic, they detail "rules" for the policy:
Thus you are technically not eligible for a band swap if you want to swap out a bundled band for an XL band, because there isn't a model sold with an XL strap out the box. This would contravene the second part of the first rule.
In other words, the band swap is designed for customers who bought one model and then decide they wish they had bought another. It is not designed for customers to be able to mix and match combinations they want at no charge.
However, I would imagine Apple will offer @H1JJY a goodwill refund because a) their customer service is normally pretty good, and b) he swapped out the band for practical reasons (the smaller band not fitting), rather than for cosmetic preference reasons.
I don't think the L/XL band existed at the time, it may be a different policy now

The reason I mentioned the time limit (and asked how important the saving was in a previous post) is that he could maybe return the one he bought already and get a swap processed in the Apple Store; hopefully customer services will be sensible enough to help out anyway.
I purchased the same configuration myself. I was originally going for the black sports band, when they were out of stock they told me they had the "red" one. They made it seem like a bad thing! As soon as i saw it, I knew I had to have it. It''s the band I use the most!

I LOVE that band!
Been trying to use different faces. Love this combo with the earth and the blue loop band.
Rose gold with Spigen case and black band

Great idea!
There's something about wearing black bands with the black SS. It's as if the thing shines more. Wore the black milanese with it today. It was as if I had just picked the watch up from the store today. Pretty much the same thing happens when I wear the black sport band.
No picture this time. Just a thought

I might be nearing the end of my band acquisition stage. At least for now. I think I'm getting close to 20 bands, and there are very few that I can think of that I actually want to buy.
Tonight...well, if it was up to me.
I've come to realize certain things relating to this watch, that are black metal, don't seem to photograph well. It was hard to decide on the Space Black because of this. I was going to buy the black milanese, over a month ago, but it looked like nylon or some kind of very thin, luster-lacking metal. I was wrong. At any given time, I can look at it, while it's on my wrist, and the band has some shine to it.
I think Mickey is my go-to face for this combo. Love how it's as if he appears out of the darkness.

Looks great man - The Apple loop is a bit too feminin to my taste, but the black looks good - Think I'll try it out... If you like yours in regards to quality and design, could you share a link?
I have both. They are Moko.

Gosh I love them. Could you please tell me where did you get the green one next to the light blue? It's such a pretty color.
It looks green in the picture but it is actually dark grey and I got it here:
