The Extra Band/Strap Processing/Shipping Thread

[GrindedDown]

Crazy, I just ordered the Stone loop this afternoon, and I already got a confirmation that it will be delivered tomorrow. It originally quoted a week-2weeks.

Yeah I ordered mine two nights ago and was fairly certain that I'd have to wait until next monday at earliest. Was quote Jun 8-10 from sun order. Got charged monday, shipped today, delivery tomorrow. I thought I was impressed! I mean holy crap, you seriously only ordered today and getting it tomorrow?

Pretty awesome if you ask me! Can't wait either. I think the stone loop with SS is gorgeous.

No sure if anyone noticed this, but when I ordered my Stone Loop, I went through and checked out the watch combo with the stone leather loop in the Apple store app. They had this really incredible 360 view and interactive clasp view that allowed you to pinch and see how the clasp works.

It was so well done, I can safely say that I have never had an online shopping experience like it. Seriously, if you haven't checked it out, do it! Be sure to check out the actual watch that has the band combo you want.

Yes, it is crazy!

Milanese band ordered April 10. Status changes:
- 6 to 7 weeks (when item was ordered)
- June - first online status I saw
- 22 to 29 June
- Charged in mid May
- Credit 5 days later

Since then still processing and 22 to 29 June

Yeah, I was pretty blown away considering I got the tracking info about 2 hours after I ordered.

Just got my stone leather loop in medium. Ordered sunday night around 9. Charged monday. Shipped tuesday. And delivered today.

I tried it on at first then I treated it with several thin coats of kiwi protect all and let it soak in for a bit. It helped a lot on my iphone leather cases to retain its color and really helps to prevent that weird sticky feeling when moisture gets absorbed. Im happy to report that the leather band is just as comfortable with the protect all. No color running or anything. I'm curious to see how it feels after ive sweated a bit.

So far im loving this band.

I really like the way it looks. My roommate didnt like it so got the link band instead.

The link looks very good.

Did anyone else's UPS status show this? I receive quite a few packages from Big Brown but have never seen a "Package is in transit to a UPS facility." That should be a departure scan, no?

 

[techno-Zen]

It's 7pm and Ontrac still hasn't delivered by BLB... what the hell? It's out for delivery since 9:30am

Thanks!!! It has grown on me. I loved it then wasnt sure but now I love it again now that its in my hands.

I think it has its' own distinct appeal. I happen to love the color complement between it and the SS. The color is right to go with a lot of different colored articles of clothing, classy yet understated.

That link bracelet sure is something else. I'll probably get one closer to the end of the year. Let us know how it holds up for you as well in terms of picking up scratches and scuffs (if at all).

Btw, it's just too awesome to me all these different looks and styles for what is essentially the same product. I think it's the AW's best feature.

I agree and Apple didnt half a** it. They went all the way with making the watch fit many styles.

Received my blue leather loop yesterday. Loving it so far. I get what people are saying about the creaking but it's just the leather loosening up. It'll pass. It's too nice to return over something stupid like that.

No update on Milanese ordered April 11... still says June 22-29. In other news, I saw a guy wearing an old watch with a Milanese band and it looked quite classy, despite the obviously years of wear and tear.

That's not good news about your order, but it does make me feel better. I ordered the ML on April 29 along with the 42 SS watch with BSB. I received the watch last week. No movement on the ML band. Still saying June 22 - 29.

i ordered white and salmon (what they call pink) yesterday.... at the time i ordered it said they would both be delivered thursday.... later got confirmation that the white one shipped and i'd have it today..... then overnight the salmon shipped and i'll have that one shortly, too! yay!

i was a little worried about using my work addy, as i wasn't sure who they used to ship... but they are both coming fedex ground...

my stainless steel link 38mm finally shipped.

 

[TrueBlou]

I'm in the UK, I ordered a Milanese 42mm on Tuesday this week. It started out as 5-6 week delivery but quickly changed to 1-2 weeks. Delivery between the 19th June and 26th June.

I ordered my 42mm Milanese band on April 11 and still shows June 29 delivery!

Has anyone from April 10 received their Milanese 42?

 

[mchoffa]

In the U.S. the 42mm Milanese Loop still shows 7-8 weeks, which is the longest lead-time of any watch or watch related item.
Anyone else with a April 10 order sitting on a delivery date of 22 to 29 June?

STILL shows June 22-29, so I guess it will ship in the next week at least

I ordered mine on the 16th of May and it went to "Shipped" today, delivery tomorrow.

I mentioned this in another thread, mine also got dispatched today with delivery tomorrow.
Of course it would be, I'm going away for a few days tomorrow morning. Still it'll be something to look forward to when I come home and I'm certainly not complaining considering I only ordered it last week.
