UK Shipments for The Blaze

[Marie.Thubron]

Hi All,

Has anyone as of yet had there cards charged for the Blaze?.

I pre-ordered on the 9/01/2016 and my card has not been charged as of yet.

I know the website says delivery wont be till March but the website now says that if you order a Blaze today it will be shipped in 1- 2 weeks for back deliver.

I really hope i get notification soon as i thought the whole point of pre-ordering something was to receive it before the general release.

I would imagine that the pre-order would still come first, though would be interesting!

I'm guessing the 1-2 weeks is because the stock they have in is currently earmarked for everyone who has pre-ordered.

I asked when my pre order would be sent out and I got an email saying it would be early March. Then yesterday (25th) 5 mins after the previous email I got one saying it had been sent out. I sort of think there is non rhyme nor reason.

hi all

my payment was taken yesterday and my items are marked as dispatched and on there way via dnp and also a tracking number 

cant wait

I still don't think they will be that early. Payment was taken in Wednesday, Thursday I received notice of shipping. It's still sitting in Oldbury...

I sent an email yesterday to ask when UK preorders are shipping and was told 'early March'. But then today I got a shipping notification....much excitement, but it was just for my small tan leather strap. Gutted.

[MarkD78]

I pre-ordered my Blaze, and then a few days after decided to pre-order one of the leather straps.  I had the Blaze dispatch note yesterday and the strap one today, so hopefully they'll catch up with each other and both come at once.

I'm sure if you ordered your blaze at a similar time to the strap that it'll probbaly do the same as mine and just get a separate tracking code soon.

[Debsagos]

Actually, I'm lying....they didn't say 'early March' they said sometime in March.

[Debsagos]

Yep, I preordered on the 5th of January. As soon as I got notification of the new model, oops. Hoping I get a notification for dispatch soon.....I'm ridiculously excited.

Hi all, got an update mine departed netherland and estimated delivery is not later than 1st march 😁

[Debsagos]

Apparently mine will be dispatched either tomorrow or Monday. My additional leather strap is on the way already.

New update from DPD; now in Birmingham and on its way 😄

[MarkD78]

I was just about to check the status of my order when an email came in saying it will be delivered on Monday! I'm rather geekily excited lol

[hellybob]

Yes mine is in Birmingham and I've just got an email that it will be delivered in Monday. That's good just before March!

[Kev-bm]

Well it official. I'm picking up my blaze on Monday 29th February at a dad pick up shop whoop whoop !! 😀😀😀😀

[SunsetRunner]

Woop dee woop, just had a text from DPD that they're delivering in the next hour. Awesome! Way earlier than expected and on a Saturday too.

[sjwhite26]

Wow lucky you, I had to have it delivered to work due to not knowing when it may be delivered - let us know your thoughts

[Debsagos]

Still don't have a shipping notice....I ordered right after the announcement on the 5th of Jan. So impatient to get this.....

Not good so far. Last 15 minutes all I get while trying to set up is "Can't connect to Fitbit. Please check your network." (which is fine)

[SunsetRunner]

Doing my head in trying to set the thing up...cannot get the update to start. Guess fitbit's servers are being hammered. Whatever, this is not a good experience.

[SunsetRunner]

Well, 4.5hrs of trying before eventually the update was started and then 20mins to actually apply it. Finally I have a working Blaze. I can see why so many people rant on the forum; no patience 🙂

Time to start playing with it.
