The Apple Thread

And I’m still sitting here with no tracking updates in 5 days :upside_down_face:

Mine also arrived I found the same. Medium ok but tempted to buy a small case as well in case it fits slightly better!

Am I really the first to order but last to receive? 🥲

I googled about trying to shrink it and all the threads/comments I found were people trying to get it back to its original state as it’s stretched over time.

My small ones have been shipped now, so they’ll probably get here before @anon47616136’s does.

No hard feelings :smiling_face_with_tear:

Postman arrived, and sounded like he was struggling to put something through the letterbox. It rustled in a padded envelope sort of way. Jumped up, went to the door. Advert from Sky :frowning:

I will end up being like Hyacinth with the postman

My second batch are definitely going to get here before yours do!

If yours don’t appear and you think they are lost, there’s an eBay listing for only a couple of quid more.

If I register an account with Royal Mail, do I get to see all parcels coming to my address even without the tracking number? I can see that one of the packages has been handed to the ‘final mile carrier’ but there’s no info on what’s happening beyond that

I don’t think so, it’s incredibly vague. Mine took about 2 days after that part I think.

It’s been 4 :sob: I’ll be starting a dispute next week, I think

This is how mine went

Of course the day I’m not in, both orders are out for delivery :joy: hope they just post it through the letterbox

Finally!

It’s just scanned to confirm delivery, you don’t have to sign for them.

Was it the straps? What do you think?

I’ve given up with my medium one, I’m not sure if it’s got looser or it not being tight just started to annoy me more. I’ll wait for the next ones to arrive and then I’ll try again.

It was indeed the straps! I ordered a few colours from two places, and I’m happy to report I got my sizing correct! I only tried the pride one on so far but it fits well.

It does stretch a lot when taking off/putting on so I can see it stretching out over time, sadly. I don’t know what miracle material Apple use to prevent that (if they do). But at £4 (including shipping), I could order 25 of these for the price of one from Apple

When I searched to find if people had successfully shrunk them, there was a lot of topics about people trying to get them back to their original size.

But as you say, for a few quid it’s not a big deal.

Any luck finding tips for shrinking them? A hot wash perhaps?

Pretty much. Yet to give it a go though and I’ve gone back to my Nike strap for now.

I feel the same on the stretching. Think I might go back to my sport loop then will see how it pans out with the small. If I get a new watch at some point it is making me tempted to get an apple one - although still a £50 upgrade at that point so probably not!
