Mine travelled from Cologne with yours and doesn’t have the arrival scan yet either, but the plane landed just after 2am so I think they’re just behind in scanning!
Mine has left Incheon having followed the same route above. Hopefully still on track for a Friday delivery
It’s a great combo. Strap is comfy. Would have preferred a slight bright richer orange colour but still it looks great. The blue ends that slide into the watch don’t quite match the blue aluminium either.
Will be ordering a blue braided loop at one point
You would of thought with a ETA of delivery this Friday there would be movement from DHL from Eindhoven
Arrived! Unfortunately I’m in the middle of insulating my loft. So I need to finish and shower before I can try it on!
They use both because they have to, Apple books up nearly all of the air freight available around the Launch of new products. It's incredible how many they are shipping.
I spoke to our UPS guy on launch day (we have a daily collection of 30-100 parcels, so know him quite well). I asked if he'd been busy delivering Apple watches and he was surprised there had been a launch. He said he hadn't delivered any. Completely different story on iPhone launch day.
I remember when it was all Kuehne+Nagel logistics. You knew when your Apple deliver was coming as they are not really a normal delivery firm to home owners.
I've never had anyone other than UPS deliver for me. I live in a different county to my last deliveries, so was pleased this hadn't changed.
DHL haven't received my package according to my tracking. Not sure why you'd think this was a DHL issue rather than an Apple issue?
All you are seeing is that Apple have placed the shipping order with DHL.
Almost certainly these have been shipped in bulk from China and will be dispatched (and hence received) via DHL once they are taken off the pallets in Eindhoven.
So has mine and it states that the price is valid for fourteen days from when originally quoted. I'm not sure it's physically possible to get it returned within those fourteen days though.
It’s a DHL issue because watches have been booked and shipped out from China via UPS with no problems all last week and early this week. Smooth sailing straight from the source there.
Sorry, poor choice of wording... How long was yours from leaving Germany to arriving at your front door?
Thats's because with UPS the watch entered UPS's system in China and can be tracked from there. DHL are just doing the final leg from Eindhoven to the UK, so you can't see China to Eindhoven as Apple are doing this via another carrier.
I'm still baffled as to why DHL is at fault when Apple hasn't passed the package to them yet.
4:49 on the 22nd it left Germany.
Arrived around lunch today.
I was worried about the same and Apple support said that if the delay is at their end - ie the watch arrival date is too late for the 14 days you still have the trade in price lock. They don’t expect us to ship back our existing watches without having received the new ones. A delay will still suck but one less worry. Mine is in the same Eindhoven black hole as yours.
It’s not so much that it’s DHL’s fault, it’s that Apple are using them and not UPS for our watches. That’s the problem.
