They only suggested this to me this morning (had no clue it even existed)
Do you know how often I should be trying to check for stock? Every 15 minutes? Every hour? Every day? Not really clear...
Just got my tracking number from Currys. I didn't order until Sunday morning when I was amazed to discover they had stock - so anyone who ordered on Friday shouldn't have any problems, payment processing aside.
Delivered
In work just had the magical call to tell me its waiting for me in the house.
Ordered from Currys on friday around 6.30pm
Maybe I can get some work done now, Roll on 5pm

Oooooo!!!! My Currys iPad is now in the hands of DHL!
At last .. got an email saying that DHL have the iPad in Lincoln .. it really is on it's way!!
Other news .. to those desperate before the end of April .. I would advise keeping your apple order (if you made one, I've still not cancelled mine and will not until Currys DELIVER mine!) and checking the online stores .. people do seem to be having some luck with Tesco, argos etc .. even though they're temporarily out of stock here and there .. I feel as though getting one earlier than Apples delivery time should be possible!

See my previous post about PCW orders, hope yours is ok ring and double check
Just called, and it is a forward order. In the time it took from my order to then calling me about delivering it they had run out of stock and im on a shipment....no clue when.
Might just cancel my order, ive had enough of this iPad business. What a crap launch.
Thats exactly what they said to me and that even though they'd taken my money, and that the email said 3 working days it could be up to 28 working days.
At anytime when you've rang before have they told you it'll be with you within 3 working days? They did me, so I've contacted consumer direct to report them as they had taken my money for a product they didn't even have.
I'd urge you to do the same.
just got my dhl tracking from pc world -
( i ordered on friday 7:15pm)
I despise your happiness.
(ordered 7.11 no tracking number)
Not happy with Comet!
Just received an email from them saying that they were unable to process my payment with the card details I provided. Phoned them up and the guy on the phone said it is because it's out of stock. It still displays on the website as in stock even now but he checked on the system and apparently it's defiantly out of stock!

Posts like this are why I'm not dancing for joy until Tesco confirm that mine has been dispatched.
Thank you Currys! Finally an email notification and after all my abuse and moaning it looks like my iPad is sitting with DHL in Lincoln. I was about to spend my night waiting for the 9pm refresh on the instore reservations.
If anyone is looking for iPads in the Aberdeen area then my wife spoke to a very helpful guy up there in the Apple store who said they had received stock today and he believed it was a small supply of each combo. He was fully expecting them to go in a fastest finger first race right at 9pm though so that does seem to be the best way to get one if you can get on when the stock goes live at the end of the day.

I'm confused. What's this about reserving at 9pm. Is that at an Apple store and online or by phone. Sorry if being a wally
On the page of your local Apple Store there should be a Reserve Now link which will let you reserve an iPad which they'll hold for a day for you. Stock updates seem to be at 9pm each night.
