Updated Delivery now saying "11th December, subject to change".

I hope it does change, to an earlier date, as i ordered on the 26/10 at 9:00 am.

"Pre-order" to me, though i may be wrong, is to place an order prior to availability. I guess i was foolish believing that it would achieve priority over shop stock.

Wow :eek: That's a late delivery. I only did mine on the 12/11 and it's due on the 6th.

Which model did you order?

Did you order the 2nd gen iPad mini?! i ordered on 23rd november so im bemused by that! (16gb)
 
Ordered a 16Gb iPad Mini WIFI on Friday, it says on my order:
Processing Items Dispatched: 2 weeks Delivers 27 Dec, 2012

Which is actually 3-4 weeks... any idea if this will actually arrive before Christmas?

I think Apple have only guaranteed a Christmas delivery for orders placed by the 28th Nov.

If pre-Christmas is essential, you'll need to either find one in an Apple store, a 3rd party retailer or 3rd party online store.
 
I must be dumb, because even though my shipped email came on the 1st, TNT UK, USA and international have no record, I wonder if its because its a merge in transit with the smart cover? I have on or before 11th, ordered on the first day at 9am
 
Ha, i must have clicked on ipad mini super retina5s, 500gb with 50mg camera..

Ordered 64gb black cellular. and a cover.

the cover could be doing it. Very unfair the shops had 32gb and 64gb in stock rather than send to people like yourself first. It could be the cover though thats doing it for you. I was meant to be december 14th. cancelled the 3 sim and it went down 3 days. and then when it eventually shipped it went to the 6th.
 
mines changed to Arnhem Hub now...

Edit: Which is in Holland. They could easily get it to me tomorrow...

I would have thought that they would surface ship these from this point which would explain the delay. Would be nice to get to tomorrow though!

Mine is still showing delivery 6th... hopefully that shall change

That's not good news :(
 
Done a little google detective work, and I reckon for those of us with an Arnhem stamp, we should get a Northampton stamp tomorrow, and then an out for delivery on the 5th Dec as indicated.

Assuming TNT don't balls anything up that is!
 
Use the US version of the TNT site (change country link at the top of the page)


tried that and all iget is consignment not found :(

what number should i be using? my delivery reference number or my PO number? both of them return 'not found' :(

You should enter the "Delivery Reference Number" from the Apple email, and select "Reference" rather than "Consignment" when pasting it into the tracking field on the TNT site (and use the "Track - international" tab)
 
Any idea at up to what point I can cancel an Apple order?

You can cancel an order up until it moves to "preparing for shipment".

Alternatively, you can just return the pre-order or take it to an Apple store for a refund if you find another tablet elsewhere sooner.

Might chance it then...flying out of Heathrow on the 19th December, so might try and pick one up at Dixons travel... they won't let you reserve/pre-order and say it's first come first serve :(
