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

    so you guys both had same delivery window as me, 22/29 June, and youve both been moved forward to 17/24June?   Wonder why mine hasn't, I had the same 22/29 as you guys!?   My watch is never coming

    I noticed that the ETA for new orders is quicker than my pre-order too , it will annoy me greatly if people who didn't pre-order can get the same watch quicker than I can.

     

    I pre-ordered fairly late, but even so, they should fulfil all the pre-orders before normal orders surely?

     

    Space Grey 42mm Sport with black band, spare blue band and spare charging lead ordered on 20th April. my ETA is currently still showing 23-30th June, I hope that improves but there's no sign of any movement at the moment

    Ordered at 1pm on release day and still processing for me! I was about to click buy at 8am but then thought what if it's the wrong one so had to shoot down to Apple Store at lunch time to confirm then came back and ordered....seems those 5 hours cost me 4 weeks!!

    Know that feeling exactly ordered the 42mm space grey sport in the Glasgow apple store around the same time on the 10/04 and still waiting. Got a delivery estimate of between 27th May - 9th June getting sick of waiting!!

    All I can say to you guys still waiting out there is be patient, its worth the wait.

     

    Mine was delivered 2 days into the delivery slot allocated which seems to be about the going rate.

     

    I'm pretty certain that the only watches you will be able to buy on a walk in basis when they do arrive in the stores, are the models that are currently being offered with a 2-3 week delivery window (the 38mm Silver Sport) and maybe a few 42mm Sports (not Space Grey).

     

    It would be a PR disaster for Apple to allow walk-ins before fulfilling pre-orders and they just aren't that sort of company.

     

    After a week of it being on my wrist I find it is primarily a great watch. People are asking me "What does it do?". I say it tells the time with a few other things thrown into the mix. Much like the iPhone, it will take a while before the great Apps start to emerge. Everything we have at the moment has been adapted for Apple Watch rather than written specifically. That said, the great 3rd party apps for me are :-

     

    Golfshot GPS - For golfers, its fabulous. No need for your garmin anymore

    BBC News - Nice interface

    Onefootball - a must for every football fan

    Uber - tap and get a cab

    Raincoat - get a 15 minute warning when rain is due

    PayByPhoneParking - check and extend parking easily

     

    The function I most like is the changeable watchface

     

    I've worked out I like :-

     

    Modular - when I am at work

    Utility - When i meetings and out in evenings

    Mickey Mouse - at the weekends - It cheers me up

     

    The simplicity of changing the face is superb and the colour adjustments are really cool.

     

    I can also confirm its waterproof. I've swam & showered in it without any issue whatsoever.

     

    so - deep breaths and don't get agitated until you are 2 days away from the back end of your delivery estimate.

     

    Hope I've been a little helpful there!

    Wow, thank you so much for all that great info, Spensa, it's really hard staying excited with such a long wait, but you've cheered me up and made me look forward to my watch's arrival, all over again!   Love the idea of the Raincoat app, lol

     

    Agree with you, I don't think Apple will start pumping out the Models that people on pre-order are still waiting for, in their Stores.  

     

     

    @ Skylined69

    I ordered mine is the Glasgow Apple Store as well, and I've wondered if it would have been faster to have ordered on the Apple Website instead.  42mm SS with bright blue leather loop, ordered on the 24th of May (first chance I could get to make the 200 mile round trip to my nearest Apple Store).   Shipping estimate is still 22/29 June as of today.

     

     

     

     

     

    Join our UK Apple Watch Owners Club on Facebook you guys, we're up to nearly 40 members now and growing every day!   Its really great to discuss everything Watch related with those who have (and have not?!) yet received theirs.   Members who've already got a Watch are proving very amenable to answering questions, posting vids, etc, for the benefit of us who are still waiting!

    I tried one on and ordered stood in the Cabot Circus (Bristol) Apple store - although it was just the same as ordering at home as I logged into the apple store on their iPad.

     

    Ordered SGS BSB on 17th April. Dispatch date originally said "June" then got updated to 22-29 June a week ago and yesterday got updated to 17-24 June.

     

    What is confusing is that it says 5-6 weeks whereas 17-24 June is only 3-4 weeks in reality. Current new orders are estimating delivery 4-5 weeks, 24 June to 2nd July

    It sounds like allot of the space grey ones are coming earlier, they must have some stock finally arrive. I dony hold out much hope for mine but if i order now i ge the same delivery window which is hugely unfair

    I just checked mine and mine now says the same, 1-3 days. It didn't say that when I checked earlier so thanks for the heads up!

     

    any day now then ....
