iPhone UK - Sitting at home waiting for delivery

[yogamonkey]

Ok so maybe it's not as exciting and sociable as waiting in a queue, but I was awake at 6.30 like it was Christmas Day.

Apparently my iPhone was "Released from storage" at 0550. I am assuming that means it's out for delivery!

Who will get the first delivery from DHL? Will anyone get it before 8:02?

[bhwrh]

I went with CPW and am awaiting delivery from City Link...

My iPhone arrived at the depot (which is like 10mins away from me!!!!) at 5.30am! :mad::mad::mad:

I know they start delivering at 7am, but seriously all I would have 2 do is drive down the road n get it! They best come soon lol

[funkyshaker]

My DHL tracking page hasnt moved in days. Will ring them if its still the same at 9am.

[iPhoneItIn]

I wish I had that option. Much better than waiting in line all night.

[sva]

Mine is showing as "loaded onto van".

The wait is going to be horrible now, every time I hear a car or van outside my house I'll be leaping to the window to check it out :o.

[Mr Baldman]

I was awake at 6.30 like it was Christmas Day.


lol, thank god im not the only one! i woke at 3.30 and the iphone just popped in my head. couldnt sleep for another hour :rolleyes:

been up since 6, now waiting patiently for city link to arrive :D

is there any way to track the iphones coming from CPW?

[bhwrh]

^^ If you go on to the update page, there should be a direct link to the City Link tracker for your iPhone :D

I've been up since 6 too, hardly had any sleep, kept waking up all excited checking the time :o.

you can track city link jobs from here (http://www.city-link.co.uk/track_parcel/track_parcel.php), use your tracking number in the job number box, no need to fill the other box.

[funkyshaker]

Oo Oo Oo - Just arrived at my local depot - woo hoo!!!

[karnsculpture]

Yay! Now showing on DHL's site as out for delivery - let's hope Apple get everything sorted at mobile .me etc

[Markleshark]

Arrived at Carlisle at 7.02 this morning (Good, eh ;)) so I'm sitting waiting for it here. Good job I got the day off work. :D

Have O2 charged anyone an extra 99p? My account is showing as they have - on 9th July.

Now this may just be an accounting thing - and next month will be reduced by 99p (+VAT) but if not I'l be compaining!

[deniser]

Mine is showing as "loaded onto van".

The wait is going to be horrible now, every time I hear a car or van outside my house I'll be leaping to the window to check it out :o.

Me too !!:)

[JonJParr]

My three favourite words: "OUT FOR DELIVERY"
Woohoo!

[yogamonkey]

Me too !!:)

:D:D Brilliant. I thought I was the only one who was going to end up with a sore neck after all this meercat-esque behaviour! I keep popping up at the window every time I hear an engine.

I am 34 years old ffs.

[Petoz]

Mine just arrived this very second. Woo! I am going to play! Enjoy when yours arrives!

[yogamonkey]

HAHA and i thought it was just me :D

[benjd]

I just rang my depot. "Out for delivery" does not mean it is on a van and on the road. "Loaded onto van" is what you are all waiting for.

[johnwin]

Mine left the Hull depot at 7:54 - and guess what - I live in Hull.

Come on mate - just a few more miles now!!

I might actually kiss the delivery bloke if he's not careful :eek:

I'd better get the rest of my Apps d/loaded :D

[Petoz]

Brilliant!! Congratulations, number 1 DHL delivery!

Thanks! I love it! My DHL tracking said it was still at the Sandwell Service centre when it was delivered. Nothing about it being put in a van or anything. So was a nice surprise. :D:apple:

[yogamonkey]

I just rang my depot. "Out for delivery" does not mean it is on a van and on the road. "Loaded onto van" is what you are all waiting for.

:( No way! What's with the microblogging approach to tracking? Am I going to get minute by minute updates on the driver's progress along the A127?

[martymcr]

Glad I'm not the only saddo - was awake at 6 checking the DHL site - also out for delivery here from Stoke to Crewe (hopefully)

I want it now!

[hefnur]

A DHL lorry and van just went by my flat window within minutes of each other...why did they not stop at my door and give me my pretty iphone?

If this is what it'll be like for the rest of the day, I might go insane!

[snapper07]

Mine just arrived this very second. Woo! I am going to play! Enjoy when yours arrives!

Nice one quick question if you still looking on here and not playing with your shiny new iphone!

Did you get an email/text from o2 yesterday saying you would get it today?

And still I'd rather be pacing at home than standing in the chaos of o2 where all their systems have crashed and contracts are being set up manually. Muppets.

[mkaiser1]

HAHA and i thought it was just me :D

...And I thought it was just me too!!! :)

I'm managed to wangle a 'working from home day', but I HAVE to pop out at 12:20 for an hour - I'll be gutted if it gets delivered when I'm out!

I wish Me.com would bloody work too - not like Apple to release something late or something that doesn't work. I wonder if they've been recruiting people from Microsoft? :) I can almost see the CV now "A proven project manager having complete work on Microsoft's Zune and Vista projects..." LOL

[GR33NIE]

:D:D Brilliant. I thought I was the only one who was going to end up with a sore neck after all this meercat-esque behaviour! I keep popping up at the window every time I hear an engine.

pmsl! :D Im exactly the same - Hurry up DHL!

[JamesC]

Any idea what "Released to other delivery agent" means?

[29twelve]

...And I thought it was just me too!!! :)

I'm here, watching cars going past outside waiting for the City Link van, the status is "These goods have been loaded onto a van for delivery today."

I was told it'd arrive between 9 - 5 so hopefully it's a bit nearer 9 than 5 ;)

[sva]

...And I thought it was just me too!!! :)

Oh, I'll guarantee you the delivery man will turn up when you're out, they always do. I'm pretty sure some of them wait for you to go out.

anyone know what this means:

The bastard - I'll bet he's sat round the corner in his truck - playing on MY iPhone, waiting for me to lave the house!:)

I suppose I should get off my work laptop and onto my iMac so I can update my iTunes and start downloading apps - can't wait to use iPhone as a remote control!

[Markleshark]

Any idea what "Released to other delivery agent" means?

DHL overflow driver will be delivering it. Might be in a white van rather than a yellow one, basically.

[GR33NIE]

Any idea what "Released to other delivery agent" means?

Probably DHL passing it to someone else to deliver? Mine says the same and it's currently 'Out For Delivery' Oh the excitement :p

[-Garry-]

Well mine's arrived! But so far all I'm getting is 'No Service' where it should say O2-UK. Tried replacing SIM, etc - but nothing :(

Nice one quick question if you still looking on here and not playing with your shiny new iphone!

Did you get an email/text from o2 yesterday saying you would get it today?

I am darting between iPhone and MacRumors :D I love it! My first iPhone. To the question, yes I did get a text yesterday. Which was a relief. Good luck to all those still waiting. Hope it gets there soon.

...Just a thought, but have you tried loading up Mac Rumors on your iPhone. If you do it, take some pics and upload them - they'd be cool pics to have on this site and I'm sure the Mods would agree!

[Bulldog VII]

my consignment number isn't recognised on the DHL website:mad:

The remote is so cool. It's absolutely what's been missing from my home media set up.

[Azaka]

City Link banged on my door 7.30 this morning, delivering my iPhone! For a while there yesterday with all the order problems (order not being on CPW's system and all) I'm well chuffed I got it today :)

[miniConvert]

Argh! This wait is killing me! I'm DHL as well.

My order status just changed a bit - they added in a security check before the last status? :S

Well how about my dilemma. I too am sitting at home as long as I can before going to work. The trouble is the my phone may be delivered there as that is what I specified in my order. However, my O2 order details gives my home address as delivery address?? Another supreme O2 corkup!

[EnglishMacGuy]

DHL Arrived 08:05 - EXCELLENT! :)

[Petoz]

Petoz what part of brum are you in anywhere near rednal just wondering if he will be round my house any time soon

I'm in West Brum. Oldbury area. Hope it will be with you soon. I couldn't believe it when DHL rang the door bell so early. On a normal day he would've woken me up, but i was up already waiting :D

It may be sad to some people but to the likes of us lot its sheer joy. We have something we care for a lot heading our way and were excited by it. Other people are the same but with different objects. Yet they don't get classed as sad.

Ok weird rant over, eeeehhhhh I want my phone. Also the bastards have charged me too .

[miniConvert]

Snap! Lmao!

*Runs to look out window after hearing yet another car/van sound* - I'm going to need to go back to bed after this ;)

[Jowl]

Just seen a white Van outside.

got excited.

read the side of the van - 'Debbie and Baz's Wheelie bin cleaning'


*goes back to waiting*

[GR33NIE]

That's service for you ;)

[yogamonkey]

Timberwolf Tree Cutters just stopped outside my house. Maybe they are the 'other delivery agent'

[liketom]

well everyone who has it on delivery at home can relax - there seems to be a tread saying o2's retail computer system has craashed :D poor git's:rolleyes:

[hefnur]

Argh, need more cigs - the stress of it all! But the boy has left for his work, what do you think the chances are that if I nip across the road to the newsagents I'll miss the DHL man?

~I've no idea why he thinks I'm so pathetic over an iphone...:confused:

[martymcr]

Use the ident code screen to check, not the consignment number screen.

My status has changed to "HSD Out for Delivery awaiting IOD" any idea what that means?

[funkyshaker]

I just had to go to the loo....quickest ever. Didn't even have time to read anything :)

A friend of mine has been in a queue outside o2 since 6.30am. He was number 10 in the queue. So far, as of 9:10am only 2 people have walked out of the shop with iPhones.

How would that work :confused:

Theyre not going to let that slide, if you get the more expensive contract for the 8gb they arent going to give the iphone for free and let you walk out are they!

[miniConvert]

why o why do the delivery vans not have gps trackers onboard that way we could all watch where they are :D

Upgraders like us waiting at home will be self-activating, so maybe they just thought screw it and missed out the last part of the process. They are still making people go through the contract sign up of course, but after almost 90 mins there are hardly any successful activations at the Southend o2 shop and the queue is now massive.

Massive queue, for an iPhone, in Southend?? Crazy!

when you placed the order did you have to fill in all your contract details etc etc or something like that?

[yogamonkey]

No, just entered account number if I remember rightly. My contract has now been updated in 02 to expire 2010 and I have been charged for the iPhone so I guess in their opinion it doesn't matter whether I activate it or not when it arrives!

Eeew, that's just gross.

A UPS man, maybe, but DHL, in yellow shirts??

[Bulldog VII]

I think we should have a quick fun pole to see who is the saddest amongst us.

I'll start, I woke up at 3.30am this morning so excited that I haven't been back to sleep. I cancelled my spin class this morning, just in case the man from DHL came with my package. I have a dentist appointment at midday, do I cancel or not?? I am also working nights tonight & I don't want to go back to bed this afternoon as I might miss him..........I'm neary 42 years old!!

Beat that!!

Not sure whether I can beat it, but I have closed my business for today so basically nothing can disturb me in case I miss the delivery. I also have my camera set up for an unboxing video (ooh, the shame!) I slept on the sofa last night in case I overslept in bed, and I am not having anything to eat or drink in case I need to go to the toilet which could potentially cause a delay in getting to the door and possibly missing Mr DHL. Also, I've let the dog on the couch for some reason. I've never done that before.

Mine had that status, then the nice DHL man (white van, suspect they pass them out to other delivery people) brought it to me!

[drpellypo]

What does...

HSD Out for Delivery awaiting IOD

...mean?:confused:

IOD means information of delivery, which basically means DHL are waiting to hear from HSD when it's delivered, so, as said, it's on a van and on it's way to you.

[29twelve]

waiting for City Link and what drives by........... a bright yellow.........Abel and Cole van.

I can't take much more.....

[03sho]

HSD = Home Service Delivery
IOD= Information on Delivery

Thanks for clearing that up.

[stiggypop]

Not sure whether I can beat it, but I have closed my business for today so basically nothing can disturb me in case I miss the delivery. I also have my camera set up for an unboxing video (ooh, the shame!) I slept on the sofa last night in case I overslept in bed, and I am not having anything to eat or drink in case I need to go to the toilet which could potentially cause a delay in getting to the door and possibly missing Mr DHL. Also, I've let the dog on the couch for some reason. I've never done that before.

You win.... hands down!

[tp2008]

Someone explained that to me in another thread. I didn't really understand it, but am too excited to be bothered!

Assuming its a new contract, o2 set Contracts up to start on the 10th, with billing produced overnight as you go into the 11th. So you're paying £35 (for next month) plus 1/30 of £35.

I "accidently" went out with work last night, working from home today awaiting the little yellow man to arrive with a parcel. This excitement and anticipation is good though - its making me forget my hangover....oh hang on.....its NEARLY making me forget my hangover! :D

[GR33NIE]

Delivery van on my road just now - Parcel Force :rolleyes:

Excitement over :o

[funkyshaker]

Yep, me too.

Its not a biggie but if they charge everyone like that, that's a decent bonus for O2. I'll be complaining!!

I got my bill through this morning for £1.16! Very odd.

[mrhands123]

yea and whats this about paying the first month in advance? like when will the next bill be after this first one, and after 18 months will we stil actually only pay 18x£35? if u get what i mean

p.s.
Out for delivery 11/07/08 07:53 EXETER HOME DELIVERY

should be here sooon

wooo where in devon do your live.. i live in Marldon . paignton :D , mine says the same :D

[Applespider]

Out for delivery 11/07/08 08:36 VAUXHALL SERVICE CENTRE

hurry up vauxhall area drivers.

Exactly - I know traffic in London crawls but hurry up! It's only a mile or so down the road from Chelsea after all... and I have a meeting to go into at 10. If the parcel shows up, it might be the shortest brainstorm meeting ever!

Just checked my order out on O2 and has it down for Standard Delivery ... have a horrible sinking feeling that I am not going to see my iPhone till next week ... :(

Nope... mine says 'Standard Delivery' but then says 'Next Working Day' on the email. It'll come.

[645ci]

No, just entered account number if I remember rightly. My contract has now been updated in 02 to expire 2010 and I have been charged for the iPhone so I guess in their opinion it doesn't matter whether I activate it or not when it arrives!

darn, was thinking, order it online, get it delievered and unlock it .

But i dont have an iphone v1, i have an o2 contract though, but thats for a nokia phone :(

[hefnur]

Just wondering if anyone in the Edinburgh area has had a delivery from DHL yet?

[johnwin]

My DHL status just changed to "HSD Out for Delivery awaiting IOD" It will be here very soon - like waiting for santa. Should I pretend to be asleep? :D

[johnwin]

Are they arriving with a bit of charge in the battery? I hate waiting for them to charge up!!!

[Pyrus]

This wait is infuriating. It's been 'Out for Delivery' since 7.52. A DPD van pulled up across the a while ago, thought it was them, turns out it wasn't. Since then a TNT and a City Link van have both driven past. Hurry up DHL.

Like another poster here I jumped up when I saw a white van, all excited, only for it to be to wheelie bin cleaners on their rounds!!

[thefunkymunky]

I don't know what's going on with my O2 account. I have two account numbers listed under my login. One for my current mobile number (I've been with O2 for the last fours years and I'm out of contract) and one for the iPhone 3G with a new allocated mobile number:confused: It looks like they have processed my order as a new customer not an upgrade:eek:

I take when my iPhone arrives I can transfer my existing O2 number, my existing contract with cease and I'll just have everything under the new account number?

I'm confused:confused: (I know, it doesn't take much) :p

[NekoFever]

Mine's been delivered (Bournemouth area), but I'm stuck at work until 1pm :(

It went out for delivery at 8:28, so I must have been fairly high up the list.

Let's face it o2 could confuse Steven Hawkins!

[sva]

Anyone know if there's a time limit on using a PAC code?

I'm with Vodafone, not asked for a PAC code yet - if I get one today, will I be able to port the number over, even though I've got a new O2 number set up?

I really need the bathroom, but I'm scared to go :o.

[Smc1978]

Just wondering,

My status on o2 is "in progress" and I've not had a tracking number, does this mean its not going to arrive and I'm sitting in for nothing ?

I'm in the Telford(shropshire) area,

thanks

Is it just me or does every single delivery company in the whole damn country drive down your street whilst waiting for a particular one? :(

It's getting a little annoying now...I don't have much patience :p

BE CAREFUL!!

My Dad did exactly the same thing. He was gloating about how easy it was to order online on Monday, and I was like WTF??

When I spoke to him last night he had received all these confirmation emails which as an iPhone upgrader I didn't think he should have been getting. It turns out he had applied for a brand new contract and had 2 account numbers in his 02.

He rang o2 to clarify it, and they said (get this) the only way to sort it out would be to refuse delivery from DHL, wait for the phone to be sent back to o2 and then they would cancel the new contract and refund his money. He would then have to join the queue for an iPhone upgrade.

The best bit? If he signs for the phone, they will take that as acceptance of the contract and he will have to live with it for 18 months.

I told him to start getting REALLY angry with them. He is out at work all day anyway so won't be able to sign for the phone, but has to decide now whether to just leave it to be sent back, or collect it and take on o2.

EDIT: D'oh just read your post again and realised it's totally different situation. Am tired, excited and emotional.

[645ci]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY got one :D (didnt know internal business contracts wherre entitled to upgrades :D)

Rang o2 asked them if they had any stock, they said they had 20 !!! and its 10am here :D

So went over (2 minute walk), gave them my business and told them to offer me the best they can to their most loyal customer. They offered £35p/m 18 mth contract with the iphone for free :D

:eek:

Hows that for just plain fluke :D Pics soon

[sva]

They last 30 days I think

But can I use it anytime to port, or would I have to have done it when signing up with CPW?

As I was gonna keep my Vodafone contract, but now simply can't be arsed, it's be much easier to just port.

[funkyshaker]

Yes, I asked O2 this early in the week. You can port your number over at anytime.

[netdog]

Anybody in West London / NW get theirs yet? I am in Maida Vale.

No idea what that means. Still isn't here yet though.

[NekoFever]

Vodafone told me they couldnt give me one for 30days!! :mad: Im not that bothered just gunna use the new number O2 give me ;)
Vodafone told me the same thing initially. I gave them written (emailed) notice of my intent to cancel and request a PAC on the day they told me, and the next day someone called, took some details, offered me a better deal (I turned it down), and then said that a code would be generated and posted to me the next day. I haven't had it yet but it should be any day now.

[johnwin]

I'm gonna go get a shave - I expect the door bell to go AS SOON as I'm all foamed-up :D

Well that didn't work, I even made the beds while i was up there :(

[Jowl]

I might get ready for work and go out.....and then sneak around and back in - that might prompt the delivery driver.

I need to get out and visit some customers.......no doubt my delivery wont arrive until 5pm.

[yogamonkey]

Mine arrived at 9am in Herefordshire. But iwon't be home from work until at least 6pm :(

Oh well, absence makes the heart grow fonder!

Ditto. Mine left at 7:37 from depot 15 miles away.

[davem7]

At least you guys have the comfort of sitting in your home :-) From what I can tell there's loads of queues about. Gotta wait for the damned contract to get activated now before I can use the thing.

[glanv]

I gave them written (emailed) notice of my intent to cancel and request a PAC on the day they told me, and the next day someone called, took some details, offered me a better deal (I turned it down), and then said that a code would be generated and posted to me the next day. I haven't had it yet but it should be any day now.

Check out OfCom's website. There's an article on there that sets out the rules telecoms have to abide by regarding PACs. I was lucky in that T-Mobile gave me mine straight away, but I did buy the last two months of my contract out.

[Jowl]

Make sure you whistle in a jaunty way on your way out :D

I did just that - thought I'd had success too as a Business Post van drove up.

Then I noticed I was still in my Tracky B's and slippers so I went back in doors. I think driver saw me so carried on past :D

[mkaiser1]

it's here!!! i have mine in my hands right now - black 16gb...i can't get the ********* cellophane off the box thouggh!!!

eBay springs to mind, probably stuck em on there! :p

It best be here by 6pm tonight I need to go out!! :mad: Im expecting a mid-afternoon delivery now

[andothfc]

Despite getting all the right emails and having a working dispatch code with City Link, and even with City Link's website confirming that my iPhone is loaded on the van for delivery today, I'm still convinced it's not going to turn up. Something will go wrong.

I'm so glad you lot are here to keep me company through this. I am climbing the walls!

Other people taking delivery from this centre have had "Out for Delivery" after this "Security Check" statement, so its not looking good. :(

Still, waiting here does beat waiting in a store. Friends tell me O2 is being an absolute pig - only a few phones an hour are actually leaving Apple stores, if that. At least at the Apple stores they're being very generous with refreshments, or so I'm told.

Just took delivery of what I suspect to be my neighbours iphone...why oh why would his come by DHL and not mine? I got so excited when my buzzer went and I saw a DHL van outside! Do you think I could just open his and give him mine(when it eventually arrives)....

[yogamonkey]

I might head off to an Apple store for some refreshments. Maybe by the time I get back DHL will have wheeled their flintstone van to my house. Srsly, 4.5 hours to travel 15 miles.

I'm in the same boat. (Vauxhall Service Centre)

Well at least it's out of O2s incompetant hands!!! As long as it arrives today, I don't care!!

Right - wish me luck! I'm gonna hang the washing out!
Done it and.....no iPhone :(

Thought I heard my door knocking when out the back. Probably was a crazy sight to see me running through the garden chucking laundry everywhere. lol

No one at the door either. Damn brain is making stuff up now!

I know this doesn't help but if you are so close they will do you on the way out or on the way back....

Looks like it might be on the way back :(

My guess is that it will come out in the afternoon run ... IT WILL ARRIVE TODAY!

iTunes takes you through the process. Its dead simple.

took five mins to set up, the black 16g is beautiful, chrome buttons against the black - really sexy. Just syncing all music etc. then off for the weekend. Made first call and it works a treat. Enjoy everyone else - well worth the wait.

Yep. I might give this a break until 2pm and then check DHL's site again at 2pm.

See you then
