Anyone had deliveries via UPS. Do they offer a delivery window on delivery day? Their app / website is a little confusing.
No, I've had loads of UPS deliveries before and none have ever given a window. DPD are the only carrier I believe to give hour time slots, UKmail do three hours (but they never arrive in that time lol).

I'm going to an Apple store this coming weekend if I don't see any movement on my iPhones this week.

Stores seem to have stock of what I want

Agree, UPS don't only DPD in my experience.

U.K. Mail give 1 hour windows now. Last 3 deliveries they arrived in the window.

4 days in a row now with no rose gold pluses at all. Joke :(
I know they seem to be thin on the ground at the moment. I was going to see if I could swap my 128GB rose gold plus for the 256GB but there's been nothing in my local store since I got the phone on launch day. I may as well just stick with it now. I pay for 200GB of iCloud storage anyway.

Yeah you gotta sign up to ups my choice and that takes a while because they send a letter to verify it's your address. Like honestly the window isn't that great mine says 12:15-4:15 so really it's just saying it'll be delivered in the afternoon

Yeah I remember last year my watch was being delivered by UPS but I didn't find out until the day before so it was too late to sign up. This year I signed up a few days before but the letter arrived after my phone which was incidentally delivered by Uk mail.

Can I have a link to this please?

[doublepost=1474796514][/doublepost]I could only get the DHL plane tracking thing on their mobile site: http://m.dhl.co.uk/en/tracking.html?trackingType=logistics-air-freight&trackingInput

Enter your DHL tracking number and select "Air Freight Tracking" on the dropdown.

The tracking page for the plane from the Netherlands to the UK can be found by entering the delivery reference found on your dispatch email into the DHL "Track by Shipper's Reference" page which can be found here: http://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/tracking/shippers_reference.html

Added it to that post.

Check out the 3D option in flightradar, very cool. But the flight seems to be headed to moscow and then perhaps onto another plane headed to Netherlands. Then the DHL tracking will start working from eindhoven.

Yeah. I imagine they would have to refuel at some point so maybe that's what that is?

Based on the weight of the DHL shipment and weight of an iPhone 7 plus, we are looking at approx 1200 iPhones in the shipment.

Just sat in a coffee shop in Birmingham having successfully picked up my matte black Plus!
Very pleased. And a wonderful store.

I asked if I could do the upgrade program and the guy just pointed to the queue of about 30 people waiting to do the same thing saying "you can do it if you want to wait in that". I declined.

He did say though that I can make a reservation for the upgrade program and go and try for it, and then if I'm accepted get this new one I've bought outright refunded. Might be tempted to do that within the 14 days I'll see.

Can't wait to get home now and get it all up and running :). Good luck to all those still trying. It's worth the wait believe me!
