Q: Shipping Info for the UK?

Jun 9, 2015 6:32 AMby Ghostgirll,Mine arrived yesterday ...finally!... 2 whole months of waiting patiently (?!) lol
It's beautiful!!
Arrived by UPS at around 10:30 yesterday morning shipped straight from Shanghai, China, via Korea, Kazakhstan and Germany, and still arrived in Scotland in under 36 hours. That's good going, eh?
I think Apple must have decided to get some help with fulfilling their order backlog by shipping straight from Asia.
I'd just like to thank everyone for their contributions to this thread, and for keeping me company during the interminable wait, thanks guys, and good luck to everyone who's still waiting

Join our UK Apple Watch Owners Club on Facebook you guys, we're up to nearly 70 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!

Jun 9, 2015 9:16 PMby CADEUK,That is great news!
I Woke this AM to a false positive of sorts. as of yesterday, UPS showed tomorrow as my delivery date. I woke up this AM with an update notification stating today! Clicked on the UPS link and boom, it's in my area as we speak. But after looking a bit closer I noticed Apple was just notifying me that my Apple Care is coming.
Has anyone else had Apple Care shipped to them via UPS separately from the watch?
I manually checked the tracking number for the watch again and sadly there were mechanical issues in China and my watch has yet to leave. My delivery date no longer states Thursaday but 'unknown at this time'.
I know it's just a watch but the wait is killing me!
Here's hoping the rest of you have good news today!

Jun 10, 2015 5:50 AMby Privatedoc,Just a quick question folks....42mm steel/milanese.....ordered 21st may, this morning went from preparing to be despatched to 'dispatched' (yippee) just how long do you think it will take to arrive in Ayrshire Scotland.....delivery says 16th but I think that is awfully long unless it is shipping from abroad.
cheers

I'm in the same boat. Delivery Thursday, but held up in China with delayed flights on Tuesday and technical failure. Quite a few waiting for their watches from China are experiencing the same thing.
It's now in Almaty, Kazakhstan and just departed from there.
No new delivery date given by UPS.
It should arrive in Germany tonight.
So there is a possibility of a delivery on Friday, if not it should be Monday.

Jun 10, 2015 9:06 AMby CADEUK,Hi Anthony,
I called UPS and I was told that I will get it by EOB tomorrow. Mine too is now sitting exactly where your's is so here's hoping the same applies to yourself. I don't think that is a normal stop for deliveries coming from China so my only guess is they found an alternate route to get it here. Even my Apple tracking updated from stating the 10th to now showing the 11th. I'm keeping fait

I just ordered a pink sports band last night and its supposed to deliver to me on Monday, so I think the straps must be coming from inside the UK or Ireland.
The watches on the other hand seem currently to be shipping as follows:
Shanghai, China, via Korea, Kazakhstan and Germany (then my last depot in the UK was Castle Donnington)
Watch arrived at my door around 36 hours after leaving China.
I'm in Scotland to btw, Dumfries and Galloway, so not far from you.
