Many models are available for in store pickup right now on Apple. Just ordered mine. Picking up later.
Got a tip for us?

Same here, will return my order when it arrives and picking up in store today. Cant get the solo loop in store though. Anybody know if I can return just the watch or does it have to be both the watch and the band?
Thanks
Did you order it as an extra? Otherwise I think you have to return both.

No good news for me this morning. Still on preparing to ship
Still stuck at PTS, so off to the Apple store today at 0930 to collect the same thing. I can then spend a bit of time cancelling the other order on the phone.

Ordered it as a set. That’s a shame. Will pop into a store once they arrive. Maybe they will let me return them both and them immediately sell the band back to me.
Morning everyone!

DHL early text to say that my Watch will be delivered between 11:40-12:40!

Same with mine. It looks like my local store has everything in stock, but my model won’t arrive until the 28th. Very annoying as I can’t even cancel it now
I wish they would have opened up orders for pickup on Tuesday as well because they would have known what stock was going where! Now probably waiting a week for my watch when I could pick it up today
Yeah I am in the same boat. 28th but I could walk into a store right now and get the exact same model. I don't know why they do this, it's annoying as hell. Can't cancel now either.
I remember the same happened with my iPhone 11Pro Max last year. I ordered online for delivery and a few days later I realized it was available for pickup at the store. Cancelled my order and got it 2 weeks earlier than expected. I just cancelled my watch order to be delivered at the end of next week and made a new order to pick it up at the store tomorrow. I have also ordered a couple of armbands that don't seem to be available, but that may change as well in a few days (they will be delivered mid-November)
What do you mean? If it's scheduled for delivery on the 28th it hasn't been shipped yet most likely. I just cancelled mine that was scheduled for delivery on the 24th at no cost
There isn't an option to cancel on the page. Just says 'preparing for shipping' for two days now.
Cracked and ordered next day delivery from John Lewis, so I’ll have to return the Apple order when it shows up. #impatient
That is strange... I had to login in and see my orders in order to see the cancellation option. If you click on the order number in the confirmation email you do not see that. It may be different in the UK (I am in Germany), but I am surprised that you can cancel here and not there. Also, you could try calling Apple. they cancelled an order for me last year and I remember it was very easy.
You can’t cancel it once it goes to Preparing For Shipping. You can only cancel it when it’s at the Processing stage
Thanks! Cancelled my delivery for 24th and arranged a pickup in store at 10:00 today instead.

They can't have stores with no stock on release day, I get that. I moved my appointment to 10am. Save me getting the train with the rush hour.
I've just got off the phone to Apple and they will try to cancel my order but give no guarantee (28th delivery)
Their advice was to refuse delivery, which given the relaxed delivery these days is not what I would do, some couriers only need a photo of your building to say they delivered it.
The advisor said she thought it would most likely be cancelled, I get the feeling Apple just want an extra step for you to take in order to cancel. Although that's probably just me being a cynic. Last year I ordered an iPhone 11 Pro, they sent two but charged for one, and an hour before delivery they called the second one back. They can can cancel when they want.
She also asked if I know how to check the status of my order, something I could probably do in my sleep now.

Yes, what surprises me is that their order for the 28th was preparing for shipping and mine for the 24th was not...
You can cancel it by calling 0800 048 0408, only took a couple of minutes.
