will consider meadowhall if no hope any where else, any other middle aged 'ladies' heading there tmw wanting to meet up? lol
I think you'll be fine. I bet Jony Ive said to Steve "either perfect launch in the UK or I'm leaving and moving back there"
Thanks, would be even better if they would let me buy an iPad tomorrow :-(
When I emailed them earlier, I was told that EVERY John Lewis will have them in stock from tomorrow, but the Canary Wharf store is a "Waitrose & Home" so they won't be.
As most of the info is on there do you think it will instantly go live or will we have the usual yellow sticker saying we will be back soon????
Ah that sucks, might have to ask my dad to buy one for me then with his discount. Mines a John Lewis at Home.

I'd love to think that Jony Ive stands up for us Brits at Apple.

Do we know if you can safely order two iPads at 1am?
Read somewhere that some people on the US launch had their order cancelled for placing multiple orders, but if it's 2 per person in store, should be fine right?

I really hope so, though some people who even ordered 1 had theirs canceled aswell.
My smart cover has been shipped out by UPS - probably be here tomorrow.
Despite the April 145h - 18th dates they gave.

I'm a Partner as well, wandered through my branch earlier on this evening and asked about the Partner purchase thing- he said that nobody has been told anything about no Partner purchases by buying office, at least at my branch. He said online ordering should be fine for Partners as well. We shall see.
So ordering at 1am will get you a delivery for tomorrow - you heard it here first
Yes , we'd wish...

tomorrow as in 25th or 26th?
As in 25th. Why else would they do a 1am order time? No other logical reason for me...
i was thinking the same thing...all possible if somewhat unlikely.
Amazon's Prime next day service sometimes operates fairly late into the previous night; though i think in Oz their wait is stated as several weeks
They did the same in USA and the first deliveries started to arrive on tuesday-wednesday...
If we are lucky, the first ones will receive it on Monday
Logistically impossible, like same day deliveries on flowers you mean? Why is it logistically impossible to group the first 20,000 orders or what ever batch by postcode and dispatch to warehouses in that area for next day delivery?
It didn't happen in the US or AU so why would it be any different for us Brits?
Wasn't same day shipping more like 24-48 hours.
Why my mate got his iMac ordered, the delivery instruction didn't leave until early hours in the morning, and then he received it that day. Granted this is on a larger scale, but if Santa can deliver all those prezzies in one night, I'm sure Apple can too
