European iPhone 7/7+ Pre-Order Thread

So, picked up my iPhone 7 128 GB black at Apple Store in The Hague. Wasn't very busy there, in fact, according to the employee who helped me I was like one of the very few people who got the Matte Black iPhone 7 from there.

Anyway, gonna enjoy my brand new iPhone now. :D

Finally got my hands on the 7 Plus JB, after reserving it at 6 AM and picking it today noon. It is simply drop-dead gorgeous. Hope all of you waiting for your phones get them delivered soon.

Well, that's probably due to everyone else waiting (impatiently) in silence.. ;)
Btw, anyone know how long it takes until one gets tracking information after an order is set to "dispatched"?

Indeed :D
But I'm so impatient for my order to change status. The phone, scheduled for 7 Oct - 14 Oct is still processing, of course.
I received my leather case on Sept 15 though… It's so sad to look at it without a phone in it, hahaha

In my case once I checked on apple's website that it shipped the tracking started 5-6 hours after that.

Mine is delivered today! Hopefully everything goes as planned!

Hi there, just to show you guys, how lucky are you... My country (Czech Republic) and also next country (Slovakia) was in the 2nd wave. I placed my pre-order incl. payment of 20% in advance directly after WWDC. But I did not get my iP7+ 128GB Matte Black, even today is launch day. And do you know why? Its simple... 2nd wave countries received 0 pcs of Plus for Launch day (incl. preorders). By the way we do not have regular Apple Store here (only online and Apple Premium Resellers).

Approx. 3 mins after Apple Online Store went alive, was possiblity to order a few units of Plus model with delivery 1-3 days, then it was switched to 3-4 weeks.

So I have to say, good job Apple, worth launch ever! This is from my point of view epic fail... Unfortunately they know, that the customers love iPhones and they will wait for it, me neither. But they made me really sad :-/ and as i order at the Apple Premium Reseller I do not know any date, when I will receive it, so what more, I can not look forward for any date when I will get my dreamed phone.

Hum. Well than it's probably due to the fact that I ordered the watch simultaneously as well and they need to "consolidate" both orders before they send me my tracking details... :(

Hey friend.

Even though I am not Hungarian, I live in Hungary.
Orders were taking place today - the 23rd of September.
I placed the order for an iPhone 7 Plus Black Matte and an Apple Watch series 2 Space Grey sports.
The order was placed at 00:07 in the night and the estimated shipment is 3-4 weeks.
But the bad part is this: iPhone 7 is the most expensive in Hungary! like 50-100 EUR more expensive than in other countries in EU.

At least they should have made some stocks.

Now I will wait patiently, but dude! I know your pain.
When I ordered my Apple TV 4th Gen - it was delivered from Czech Republic and I had to wait like 1 month....
It sucks when you pay premium, on the first day, you want to enjoy it. I could have waited half year and get it cheaper... but Apple really doesn't know how to pile up the stock and have at least X amounts of HW shipped in advance...

Or maybe, they are too in a hurry to release new models that they don't have time to produce them... I hope I will not experience a defective iPhone....

I wish your order gets delivered as soon as possible... and I wish the same for me and the rest of the good people around.

Oh man, that's really sucks. I just calculated your prices and it's +40$ in comparison with Czech Republic, so for Plus 128GB it's approx. 1.167$ Until now I was thinking, that Czech Republic is most expensive country for Apple products. And I will not speak about avg. monthly payments here in comparison with US, Germany, GB, or other countries. But I think, that Slovakia an Hungary has worth month payments. But it's not topic for discussion in here.

And you have also no date when it will be delivered...

Well I should have bought it somewhere else but my company has my bank account here in HU.
I have estimated delivery 25th of October - 5th of November - after my last update on the store :)
 
My iPhone 7 JB is now shipped. Got the confirmation today in the morning and the tracking number is also working.
On apple's mail it said "Delivery Okt. 3" but on UPS's tracking tool there is no date listed yet.
Does it really take a week for the iPhone to get from China to Austria?

7 Plus is still processing

Same here for my Plus 128GB black. Delivery to The Netherlands. Original delivery date was estimated at Oktober 3- 7. Got my status changed yesterday to preparing for shipment. Got a mail a few hours ago that it was shipped with UPS with a estimated date of Oktober 3 but the tracking number is still not working. I really hope i'll receive it somewhere next week and not on Oktober 3. That would be waiting for a week and a half !

Same issue here... due to company is located in Czech Republic, I cannot buy iPhone in Germany, or I can but it is very complicated due to VAT.
 
If your delivery date is in October or later, keep checking your local stores, they get iPhone shipments at least once a week.
