iPad Pro 9.7" iPad Pro UK Pre-Order Thread ...

Yes much less than Mr Resell; I was offered £327 in the end.

Being able to authorise a payment for £599 using my thumb print was way too easy haha

Having done some digging on mResell - there is some bad reviews but mostly about them being a bit slow.... Every trade in place has bad reviews. It's a gamble. I reckon I can get £300 on eBay for my iPad (then will have to subtract sellers fees etc) - mResell offers me £318 and seems less hassle than eBay.

When I sold my mid-2011 iMac 21.5" to them almost two years' ago they took around a fortnight to process it from start to finish.

Would rather that than being messed around on eBay (and losing out on fees/time wasters) or sending it off to one of the many recycling companies and losing cash that way for problems that don't exist

Pre-ordered the following on the 24th March, with a delivery date of 31st March:

9.7" Space Grey (256Gb Cellular)

Got the pen too just to see what the fuss is about.

Compared to my previous iPad 3 (circa 2012) this should be a bit of a step-up xD

I'm sorely tempted to pre-order the Rose Gold 32GB WiFi + LTE 9.7" version.

Having had a look around the best price I've found for my iPad Air 2 128GB W/C is £338 on Mrresell (via Mac World UK).

Would consider eBay but not mad on losing out on shipping/selling fees; anyone else recommend a site to look at?

The likes of Mazuma etc offer around £230 so know I could potentially earn more towards a newer iPad.

Cheers!

CEX were paying £279 for iPads of your spec in mint condition.

Does anyone know what the chances of being able to walk into an Apple Store on Thursday to purchase an iPad Pro 9.7 will be?

In the past few of years, for both iPhones and iPads they've generally had reasonable stock in the stores as long as you're there in the morning. Might be chancing it if you can't get there until the evening.

My iPad is still PFD but I can see its serial number on https://supportprofile.apple.com - one step closer I guess :)

My iPad Pro 9.7" is also now showing its serial number as well. Won't belong now until dispatch!

I guess you both got orders in on the 24th? And also are you getting a delivery date next to your "preparing to dispatch" message on the order tracking page?
[doublepost=1459182111][/doublepost]For anyone with a serial number what factory and build week are you? You can find out here: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html

I ordered mine about 8am on the 24th. Next to the preparing message is "Delivers: 31/3 in most areas by Standard Shipping"

Yep, ordered mine a few mins after the preorders went live. I'm getting a date of the 31st March yes. I'm secretly hoping I get it a day early on the Wednesday though ;)
 
I presume the reason for variance in mresell pricing is because of different purchase dates? I've been offered £310 for Air 2 128GB cellular, bought on launch in October 2014.
 
Anyone else tracked their Smart Keyboard via ups? Mine says "The shipment is being held. Commodity description information must be validated by the sender."

Never seen this before :(

I may not be able to get there until the evening so hopefully I will be able to order online and reserve in store on the 31st and collect it later in the day

So you would recommend?

I think that may be the case. I bought mine at launch in October 2014 but I had a warranty replacement so it's showing as 11 months old on mResell.... Bonus....

Yes, I would recommend Mr Resell. Just hope that, by mentioning them, I don't tempt fate and they let us down!

In all fairness I've had the 2nd hand iPad Air 2 since April last year and have lost £70 on the price I paid... Not too bad I don't think?

I pre ordered very late really :oops: but my confirmation email says 31/3 but no date at all on the order page so that is very odd! I am preparing to ship but nothing in the support profile yet. Hopefully they do ship early but UPS and Apple usually run a tight ship and hold any early items until release day, but you never know, people have had early deliveries before!

I sold my iPad on Gumtree two weeks ago. It’s more hassle than the other methods, but you get a much better price by cutting out the middleman and there's no fees like eBay, unless you want a featured listing.

I ended up getting £330 for my November 2014 Air 2 64GB Wi-Fi and a Smart Cover.

Yep just a bit, and I'm waiting on an iPhone SE as well!

I bet on Thursday DPD will give me a 1hr delivery window right at the end of the day, so the wait is even longer :(
Click to expand...

Out of interest why have you ordered an SE if you already have a 6 Plus.
 
Mine is showing the serial number. I cancelled my order this morning though. I hope it gets cancelled in time.
