Anyone remember if UKMail advise of a delivery time slot when they send out the text in the morning? Or tomorrow can I track the whereabouts of the Van

I’ve got to go out tomorrow to pick our kid up from playgroup and known my luck the driver will arrive when I’m out....

Luckily tho we have the Ring Pro setup so at least I’ll get a notification on my iPhone when the door rings lol

You’ll get a text in the morning with your slot, you’ll also see a squiggly path online stating you’re stop X of Y and I think you can also get a text alert when it’s your delivery next

I will be getting mine tomorrow, however i'll be at work when it arrives, my Mrs will be indoors as she is off tomorrow from work... so I am going to assuming she'll be teasing me when my iphone and watch arrive and sending me photos of the box from different angles... I love my wife :D she did the same with my case and pretty much with every phone i pre-ordered.

Snap! Mine is at the same RDC too! Surprised it's Tracked 24 rather than Special Delivery, but should still arrive tomorrow.



It will come through any minute - mine wasn't showing 30mins ago but is now.

I'm glad you managed to snag a SS - Very didn't have them for long! I kind of wanted the gold SS, but as Very didn't have it, the decision was made for me. I'm glad as I can't justify the cost, but tend to be an impulse buyer lol.

I decided to get mine sent to my local post office instead of home delivery - that way I know it’ll definitely be there for me to collect. Half the time the RM shows up at my door I never know about it! I’m convinced half the time they just slip the red note through the door and don’t bother knocking, honestly.

Yeah, UKMail here too. I was disappointed when I didn’t get DPD too. Got a text last year though when waiting for my X, so not so bad. Not as good as DPD, but not horrendous. Got it early too! :D

It is a risky decision for most! I run my own business so I play receptionist when a delivery comes :D - but Graphic Designer to my clients for the most part!

Ha, you definitely need to give her some payback! :D After all that torture, it's got to be done!

Apple wouldn't load for me until 8.11 and by then all the stainless steel options had slipped. Checked Very and they had some 44mm stainless steels so grabbed one of those. Had an email from them saying it was dispatched today but the tracking doesn't show that it's actually with Royal Mail yet. Fingers crossed though!

Still need to find a 40mm SS for myself. Going to try my luck at the Apple Store tomorrow. Have two options I'd be happy with so will see. Going to do a little white magic tonight :D

I’ve had my alu series 1 for a few years now, with no real damage to it, other than 1 scratch on the aluminium. It’s not even deep - and I’ve rattled this watch off everything in existence! I really don’t baby it.

Makes me confident enough to know I’m not missing huge amounts by passing on the SS. The screen is still in excellent condition too. £750 odd is a bit steep considering my yearly iPhone switches are now £1k+....

About time too for her to taste some of her medicine. :D and I am not going to tell her either!
