Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Preorder (UK)Three network

[MrBukey]

So I've seen some people getting their 7 Pluses from Three early, so thought I'd ask on Three's online chat when my phone was due. The last date I had was the 3rd October. I was told that it had actually been signed for on Monday (26th) - I went into a bit of a panic, explained that it was supposed to be delivered to store, and I was told that it may have been and to check with the store.

As it was before 9am, I phoned Three's Online Sales - they confirmed that it had been delivered to store on Monday and were very apologetic for not notifying me - I should have had a text. I said that it's no big deal, it's there and it's ended up earlier than I expected so I'm happy. Have just collected my 7 Plus 256GB Matte Black.

If you're waiting on a phone and it's being delivered to store, you may want to check in to see if it's there....

Just called again and my iPhone is still scheduled for the 30th.

The rep did spend a bit of time explaining that it may well come early, though. So perhaps everyone here receiving their iPhones today are the lucky ones.

Anybody have theirs turn up today?

Still no text/email/DPD notification on my black plus 128gb.

Nothing from DPD for me yet either. Although I think the notifications come late on for delivery the next day. Here's hoping

That's hard. Glad your phone has turned up though and really do hope all of us with 30th as a deliver date get them too.
The excitement has worn off a lot due to the waiting but I am sure it will return when that box gets opened.

Not sure on their own live chat, but their support on twitter have proven to be good when I have used them.

Thanks mate, site is proper crap on iPhone need get my Mac out for it haha

edit ; i got it cheers dude!

Update; heres what they said to me,

Just thought I'd update you all.

I've just had an e-mail from DPD and it's visible on the DPD app also.

I pre-ordered the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB in matte black as an upgrade on the 9th at around 9am-ish.

It's timed perfectly. I managed to bag an Apple Watch Series 2 42mm in space grey from John Lewis earlier today and cancelled my order from Apple that's coming tomorrow and paid for a pre-10am delivery so I'm hoping they'll both be delivered at the same time.

Just had my DPD message and email from Three. Delivery due tomorrow so now just need to organise someone to be here or to collect from the depot.

 

[tomwalsh77]

No message for me yet although I did order at around 2:30pm on the 9th.

 

[schlaufox]

Got my email for delivery tomorrow, too!

For a 128GB (Matte) Black iPhone 7 Plus ordered around 9:40am on 09/09.

To be fair, mine is a day earlier than quoted. Email received tonight states tomorrow.

I actually didn't get an email confirmation, just a text message. I upgraded over the phone and was given the 30th as a delivery date.

Just got notification that my phone is to be delivered tomorrow! 7 Plus 128 JB!

Amazon Prime next day delivery is probably your best bet for a case. Spigen are decent cases, and reasonable prices.... Probably missed for tomorrow now (though sometimes there are late cut offs with some Amazon Prime items), but you can definitely get one for Friday.

I just spoke to Three, and they told me that they will have my phone on the 28th of October. That is a whole month after my contract started. This is terrible. I am really hoping that they'll receive delivery early.

When did you order Alex?

When did you order Alex?

I pre-ordered on the 13th of September. (It is kinda late, considering that pre-orders went live on the 9th, but this is when I was able to go in-store).

EDIT: In-store, they told me (when I pre-ordered), that it would be here by the 14th of Oct. by the latest. Now they say the 28th. I'm not happy.
