Shipping Info for the UK?

HI all,

As most of the responses on the main "Shipping" thread appear to be from folks in the UK I thought it might be useful to have a separate one for those of us in the UK. I only ordered my SS 42mm Blue Milanese Loop on Launch Day (24th) so I'm still Processing, and not really expecting a delivery for some time yet (my estimate is "June"), but I wondered how deliveries/shipping was going for others over here... Anyone from the UK actually received theirs yeT for example?

thanks for any info 😀

Got mine last Friday - 42mm sport, white band

I switched from Processing to Preparing late on Tuesday, then to Shipped on Thursday. Came via UK Mail.

Anything else I can add that might be helpful? Ask away

Thanks Nick, happy for you! Well ok jealous if you want the truth 😉

i take it you pre-ordered on the 10th? Where are you in the UK btw? I'm in Scotland, which may or may not be relevant, but Im interested to know if location has any bearing at all on shipping dates.

so are you enjoying your new toy?

P.S. In my opening post I meant to say that most of the shipping info on the main thread are in THE USA and not in the UK. Oops

I pre-ordered on 10 April as soon as orders opened, so I was one of the lucky ones.

I'm in Milton Keynes - I don't expect being in Scotland makes a difference <insert various tired old jokes about independence here 🙂>

Sorry you're jealous - it would be better if you had the watch

I'm enjoying it - among other things, it's making me rethink how I deal with notifications. I look at my phone much less and I've reduced notifications to the ones I really care about - mail and messages from people that matter, appointments, one or two others

Thanks for the detail, Nick, I couldn't get up to my nearest Apple Shop before the 24th due to work restraints and I didn't want to order just from web photos, I wanted hands-on with the watches. It's nearly 100 miles to my nearest Apple shop btw. I know, horrible!! Lol

Anyway I'd appreciate it if others in the UK could keep us updated of order despatch dates along with their choice of model etc, as well as the date that they ordered (or pre-ordered).

thanks

So I'm now wondering if very few people in the UK have ordered an Apple Watch - although I must say I find that hard to believe - or alternatively perhaps this thread gets lost pretty quickly down the list because most forum members are located in the U.S.

I'd really like some responses from folks in the UK regarding their' order, pre-order, processing and shipping details, and also whether or not many UK customers have already received their Watches.

Thanks! 🙂

I ordered mine on pre order date with a dispatch date of June. I was sent a email last Monday (27th April) saying it would ship in the next 3-5 weeks and delivery would be between 20th May and 2nd June. They sent another email last Wednesday morning (29th April) to say it had shipped and would be delivered the next day! Got it last Thursday.

I ordered Space Grey 38mm with black sports strap.

I'm in Bristol.

Goodness that's wonderful, SP! You must be ffeeling very lucky right now, I'm genuinely happy for you 🙂 and thanks for the info, it's quite uplifting to hear that some UK folks are receiving their Watches ahead of schedule. I'm really hoping that mine will arrive in time for my birthday on the 31st of May.

The trick is when ordering an apple device (with the exception of maybe the ipad) is to order it seconds after the preorders go live so that you are guaranteed to receive it quickly and not end up waiting yonks for it .

My 42mm steel watch with white sports band was ordered on the 10th at around 8:04am and it arrived promptly at about 12:00pm after 2 weeks

BTW what do you mean by "blue milanese loop"?

TThat's just what my order confirmation called the model, it says Blue LEATHER Loop on the website but my order confirmation says MILANESE LOOP for some reason. The photo is the same on both website and email confirmation tho, it's this one:

I Live 100 miles from the nearest Apple shop in Glasgow Nd couldn't get up there to choose my model before the 24th, but didn't want to make my decision purely on the strength of web photos, so I couldn't order on the 10th.

btw where in the UK ree you Prowlus?

Hey, another forum member from Scotland, yo bud!! Lol

So far my estimate just says "June". Did you order on the website or in-store out of interest?

Hahaha yo! Lol, I sat online and as soon as it came on the website to order I ordered mine straight away , and was a little confused thinking I was one of the first to order it to see an estimated delivery between 14-28th of May I was really disappointed:(

Still sooner than my estimate tho 😢 but good luck, hope you get it soon!

Would you mind posting back on this thread when you actually get your Watch please? I'd like to know if you're order is ahead of schedule.

I noticed last night , if you go on the website now to order mostly every model it's into July, and yes as soon as I get it or even a change in order status I'll put it up, just ordered myself the black sports band and even that's not got a proper date it just says may lol
