iPhone 5S order start time confirmed for UK

[ERIC273]

I'm tempted to order online now.
Was originally planning to go into Lakeside early on Friday morning.

Although I'll be at work on Saturday if they are delivered then

Seems unlikely that they'll deliver Saturday!

 

[rh1]

Who knows, maybe they'll start loading them up from midnight and have them delivered same day

Saturday delivery won't be available for iPhone 5s, unfortunately.

 

[act1980]

I've never ordered an iPhone online on launch day. How fast do they usually sell out?

 

[bandrews]

Saturday delivery won't be available for iPhone 5s, unfortunately.

Why not? If I take something to a post office before 5pm and send first class or special delivery, it will get there the next day. Likewise, if I order something online, so long as I order before their shut off time, it will be with me by morning.

And not just Royal Mail; lots of companies offer next day delivery via courier.

If we order 12:01 am friday, when do we expect it to arrive? Monday?

 

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

That's my wages gone this month that's for sure lol I don't know about you guys?

Yep.

 

[SMIDG3T]

Is BST, GMT?

Sorry. Stupid question.

 

[pcfarrar]

It seems unlikely the release will be 12.01am BST? Presumably it will be 12.01am PST like the 5C?

Yea does seem strange.

Unless if the US orders open up at a different time..

Won't hurt to wait till midnight anyway. If not, wake up 8am.

I doubt Saturday delivery. Who knows though.

It's confirmed in an email from Apple.

What time are these available at in Canada? I thought it was 12:01 Pacific time so everyone would have to accordingly adjust their time.. but turns out its not?

 

[raymondkerr]

so pre-orders start on friday 20th for the 5s. I thought they were coming out that day ? so you'll not be going into an apple store next friday to collect a 5s then ??

I guess it will be 8am GMT as per previous releases, i.e midnight PST.

So when will delivery be if pre-orders start 20/9 ? will it be the following friday ? alot of uncertanty here... come on apple.

No, orders start on the 20th at 12:01 online. or in store at 8am.
No pre orders.

Just had an email from EE stating there are also no pre-orders and to come to the stores.

but to go to the stores on what days?

 

[widestload]

My email says 12.01 PST which would work out at 8.01 am in the UK. Thats also in line with all the previous releases, ie the rest of the world is set to the same time as the Pacific USA

 

[stiloverx]

If i order the iPhone 5s on friday 9/20 at 12:00 California time, would you think the phone can be delivered by Monday 9/23 ?

Anybody here ever bought an iphone form the online apple store on the first day of launch? What was the estimated delivered time frame?

 

[boy-better-know]

Is BST, GMT?

Sorry. Stupid question.

Yep, British standard time I believe.

I expect those of is who order immediately to have it by Monday.

 

[TheSponge]

That means I gotta get up at 4am...

What your guy's thoughts on supply amounts on these? Will they outsell within hour? If I don't have to get up at 4am I'd rather not and no Apple store around me..

 

[widestload]

Maybe my email is just set up to think I'm in the USA though as the links take me to the american site, not the UK one

That is exactly my problem too. I will get up around 3am...

No, BST stands for British Summer Time which is GMT +1
