I got one in Comet, UK for £242 (10% off) due to there clearance sale
Ooh well done!
I'm still waiting impatiently for my cellular
26th of October feels like ages away,
My last update on my mini shipping was 2 days ago still in Pudong...
Im really disappointed... i was so excited about getting a mini, but i just feel like its never going to arrive, ESP date for delivery is tomorrow but i cant see it getting to the UK and then to N. Ire for tomorrow morning when it hasnt even been scanned in the UK yet...
So much for pre-ordering so i would get one on time... apple shudnt allow you to pre order items unless they can guarantee that you will get them on release day...

Me too.
Not a dickie on when they will even be available. Hopefully we will at least get a date at the end of next week when the US orders start delivering.
Really hope it comes by the start of december for my birthday!
My brothers was in pudong uptill 2 days ago but has changed this morning to Arnhem in the netherlands. He has delivery on or before Wednesday so i would not worry your ipads will turn up.
I think they are always behind on the tracking scans so these will be on route or even in UK now.
Has been poor this time thats why i picked one up at John Lewis and cancelled my pre order

Last night my ipad min was still stuck in Leeds (since 9th). I ordered almost immediately the web store opened on the 26th and it shipped on the 7th.
In the past I have found TNT to be extremely unreliable, including being unable to find my address. Tracking on their website today generates:

Please re-submit your enquiry.

I'd be surprised - and gutted! - if we don't get them before the end of this month. Surely 23rdish or the following week is a distinct possibility?
Can anyone help me, my iPad mini status turned to 'shipped' on the 9th but when i click on the track shipment button i dont really get much information, just the order number and reference number.
Its doing my nut in waiting now, its says estimated delivery date is 20th but surely it doesn't take 11 days once shipped!

Mine says exactly the same. Another poster identified that mine seems to be going through UK mail but nothing on there when I search. The airport bit of the tracking page linked from apple is blank too...
I'm thinkin it's because I ordered a Smart Cover at the same time and they need to be paired up before I get a proper tracking number.
Do they ever go over the delivery date?
If it has just shipped today and coming from china it can take a day or 2 before the tracking seems to start , well that's usually the case with TNT
Your borthers will be delivered today,
My last check in was Holland last night and this morning i checked and its Out for Delivery from Belfast,
Gutted as i didnt organise anyone to be in to get it for me...
So ill have to organise re-delivery tomorrow.
TNT are one bunch of &£^$("(£*$*%
I rang this morning to ask if they could re-deliver to me for tomorrow morning (Before 12) as its the only time i can get off work.
They said NO, so i ask if they can deliver today (after 4pm) and i get out of work early to get home.
They say NO
They have a 2 hour delivery slot for my area and its between 12-2.
And they will not in any way help me to get the Mini delivered, they wouldnt even leave it to a family members house 2 mins away
WHAT A JOKE....
So now i have to wait till saturday before ill get it.

Can you not collect later this evening from their depot??, i have done this before with them???
Currys / PC World have 270 black 32gb iPad minis available in their online stock for a range of delivery times including next day. Ordered mine earlier whilst in store. 3-5 day delivery guaranteed. No lengthy waiting.
Tried for the same on the Apple website last night and I was given a possible delivery of the 5th of December. ALOT longer. Most retailers have the 64gb in stock as well. Just in Birmingham yesterday HMV, the Apple Store, and the Currys there all had them in both black and white.
Interestingly smaller HMVs, in towns and not cities, are never getting them in stock. They'll have demo models, but nothing to sell straight over the counter!

Does anyone know if Apple has any sort of Reservation system for the iPad mini in the UK?
I haven't been able to find anything. Or is it just turn up to an Apple Store and get lucky?
Thanks

I'm afraid it's turn up at an Apple Store and get lucky. They won't even give dates they're getting deliveries if asked. I tried myself, but failed to get anything better than try again another day.
Your best bet is to order online or try another retailer.
That's the problem. All retailers nearby are sold out of the 16GB Black, and it's out of stock online. And online on the apple store is dispatched within 2 weeks.
Well i could have but its a 2 hours drive away at least.
And TBH they are ment to be providing a delivery service, hardly much of a service when they can only deliver at a specific time! YET... they could not actually tell me it would definatley arrive between 12 and 2 they just said its possible.
Not to mention the fact they said they attempted a delivery at 2:15 yesterday yet my partner was in the house and i rang them at 2:20 and they told me the driver had already gone back, and when i aksed about his "attempt" she couldnt tell me.
As for getting one else where, none of the Currys/PC Worlds/ Argos in my area up to 2 hours drive away have any in stock and none available for home delivery on the white.
Tesco will home deliver it but again they wont give me a time and i cant be taking days off work for things not to arrive. As ibe had many a bad experince of having to take extra days off when the delivery date has not been kept.
My other half is in the house today so i do hope they deliver it.

UPS man has been
Two ipad minis, first is perfect (haven't opened second yet).
Smart covers delivered with them.
First impression, brilliantly light, screen more useable than kindle fire (set one up for sister the other week), very good looking device, surprising easy to hold comfortably in one hand (not sure why I am surprised it just felt very comfy).
Passed it round the office and there was all sorts of ouhhh and ahhhs.
The two are for a 6 and 9 year old, so put Angry Birds star wars on them and I will see the little one in about March
