Q: 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

    RIght guys, I have some information about the delivery process in the UK, once your order is dispatched - it takes 2-8 days to be delivered after that.... That's why some of you may not have received it as soon as.  Hope that helps.

    mate i just talked to an apple rep who said that is just not true and despite it saying standard shipping it is express shipping which usually arrives even next day. so no its not up to 8 days unless there is a postal strike

    I can also confirm that that is not the case.

     

    I ordered a 38mm sport on Monday 4th May. It was shipped on the 7th and received on the 8th.

    Wow, seeing Watches getting shipped and received almost a full month after some of the people on his thread ordered theirs is certainly a bit hard to swallow, even if it is for a different Model/Strap combo.   It's become clear that the 38mm is shipping out faster than the 42mm, but, even so, it's got to be a bit gutting!?

    Hi Oliver & Ghostgirl.

     

    Imagine how I feel. I woke up early, ordered my 42mm Stainless model on the 10th April to receive my 12/5-26/5 estimate. My wife then decided last Monday (5th May) that she would like the 38mm Sport. So I ordered it and it arrived same week. Initially I was given 2-3 weeks for the 38mm Sport. I have to look at her playing with it in the same room every day!!!!!!!

     

    There is a huge wait time difference between the 38mm sport and the 42mm stainless. I am certain that all of the watches are being sent out in the order that they were received. The Spreadsheets bear that out.

     

    Apple certainly have misjudged the demand of 42mm against the 38mm. Remember these things have to be made, assembled and then shipped from China. Its not an simple process. The staff at Apple will be analysing orders received and tailoring production based on orders on hand. I expect production to even out over coming months.

     

    It doesn't look like I'm going to get mine before tomorrow so I'll be nicking the wife 38mm for my Golf trip on Thursday!

    while waiting for my arrival I tend to browse through this site every night and start to load cool apps onto my phone in anticipation. For those of you who haven't come across watchaware you can find it here

    HHey, great link, Spensa, thanks for that.   I'm probably not the only one who's been whiling away the long waiting hours browsing Watch apps and pre-loading my phone with a few that look interesting.   Was still looking for somewhere that I could view them all in one place in a reasonably well categorised fashion, - this site looks good.

    No probs Ghost!

     

    Another fantastic link is for a kickstarter project I backed a while back for 3rd party strap adapters.

     

    https://www.get-click.com

     

    They have been updating constantly and are looking to ship in June so it might be worth an order. I've already started my strap collection here.

    When you log on to see the status of your order and it still says "Processing Items", does anyone else feel like they are looking at this?
