iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

[robbo747]

If I purchase an iPhone 7 Plus from John Lewis today, when will it be available for delivery/pick-up?

I'm well aware that JL won't have any in stock for launch day, I just want to know when they will since my order from Apple delivers on 4-10 Oct and I'd like to get it before then.

It will be available to pick up on launch. Their call centre told me they will have stock available in stores on launch day. They said they have more stock in stores than they ever had before but couldn't go in to details about what models.

I really do believe John Lewis is a really good option for those looking to buy on launch.

Your delivery is just less than two weeks away. It won't change yet. Stop checking the order status page every 5 minutes.

The hope is for the delivery to be pushed forward, since I ordered mine way before a lot of others.

My apple watch, delivery 16th... still on processing!

Mine is preparing for dispatch. It randomly updated this morning..have faith

I know Apple say they only give one year warranty but my experience was they actually give two, but only if you bought direct from them.

My iPhone 5 was losing charge very quickly and it was just under two years old, I had a 6 on order for release date and I would be passing the 5 on to my OH I wanted the battery issue fixed. So I took it into Covent a garden and said I need the battery replaced, the genius guy agreed and said yes that'll be £x I said OK then when he looked up my phone he said that actually as I had bought direct from Apple then it would be free as they effectively give a two year warranty for iPhones bought direct from them.

Just one isolated case I know.

Yes, I confirm. It happened to me twice and they repaired my mac/replace the phone for free

The JL website shows only the non-Plus models being available for pick-up on launch day?

Sorry I only asked about the 7 not plus. That screen shot would suggest they won't have any plus models but who knows. It may be worth a check at 20:00 to see if their stock updates.

Once again the thread is going in circles. When you come back to the thread and see there are 10 or 20 more pages than when you last looked, there is actually information on those pages...

John Lewis look like they will have a few 4.7" models but no 5.5" models.

The call centre staff have no insider information. They might see when stock is expected to arrive - as is shown on many inventory systems - but there is no guarantee and the average call centre staffer at John Lewis spends their day talking about kitchen appliances and curtains. They aren't aware of the iPhone 7's stock disaster.

If they do get stock, it will be very limited, and in the less popular colours.

It appears they will have between 10 and 20 of each 4.7" model on the website tonight, and no Pluses.

If the stores were going to get good stock, this would have been advertised.

Might this have been an example of the battery replacement programme for the 5?

Nope, it wasn't one of the ones affected, I checked. It was just an old battery issue.

Agreed if people just took the time to read 2 pages back from the end the question they have will have been answered.

We could almost do with a top post on every page:

- NO IPHONE + BLACK MODELS FRIDAY
- JUST BECAUSE VERY / WHOEVER SAY DELIVERY FRIDAY DOESNT MEAN THEY WILL GET STOCK.
- IF APPLE SAYS DELIVERY ON 16th YOU WILL GET IT ON THE 16th

Anything else?

When a mummy loves a daddy very much they order a baby, then a stork flies over and drops it into mummy's tummy

A DPD stork or a UPS stork, how can I check my delivery time?

It actually already arrived, it was by Yodel so check on the roof somewhere!

Did they order it and get a 27-29 delivery date instead of the 16th even though they were among the first to order it?

A ups one will likely have dropped the package on its head so please inspect carefully for any damage.

Just took order of my Apple dock, tan leather case and Spigen flex case for my Gold plus . I like the new buttons on the side of the case.

7+ 128 showing as preparing for dispatch for Friday delivery - as others have said this means it is in the U.K. And hopefully DPD will be delivering it for me.


...it's happening!

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!

Yeah they ordered as asked but were screwed over so it's on back order.

They've also ordered from multiple places on the hope of maintaining the correct arrival date however they'll likely end up with triplets at the end of September when all the orders come in at once

 

[rockypee123]

John Lewis was the last hope for an earlier 7+ delivery on the Blacks Oh well, gonna be a long wait until October 4-10th! Itching to try iOS10 too but I refuse to update my iPad Pro or 6S+ until I get my new phone

Should have ordered a Rose Gold baby, might have come in time. Damn those rare black ones.

Where do they order from? Is the Stork also called Dave from DPD? What are the stock levels like?

That case looks great!!

Wish I could get over the black and pick up a gold phone again.

Obviously it's called Dave

The only flaw in my plan was i ordered a spigen screen protector - it came yesterday too...smashed! Amazon (really good actually) are picking it up today and delivering another. I ordered a plastic one too just in case. When I got my 6 on launch day I went 'naked' for 1 day...still have the scratch on the screen....

Oooo I love the look of the case! I ordered one late so it's arriving after my phone but looks like a great choice
