Stop worrying. The phones are in the UK. My 6s changed late (after 8pm) on the Thursday last year and came Friday.

Well it might not be too bad, after the balls up in the US this year and the lawsuit. They'll be better than that over here next year.
I believe the description just says black but the photo is showing a Jet Black, which maybe misleading, particularly to those who haven't got a clue that the JB is not available in 32GB...
Yea my watch didn't get dispatched until about 3pm on the the Thursday and arrived on the Friday. There were people on this forum who didn't get the dispatch email until 10pm on Thursday night and their watches turned up on Friday.
Don't worry, it's been the same for the last couple of years.
I've done this every year since the iPhone 3GS, and you used to track the iPhone around the world as it made its way to you. But now they don't let you see the tracking till its in the country.
Your phone was dispatched probably last week, or early this week. When you are able to track it later today, you'll see it's not far away.
I would imagine seeing movement Saturday or maybe late Friday evening. The phones will be most likely shipping from china, unless of course they transport all of them to the UK and distribute via syncreon
Just logged into apple, and clicked change delivery details, didn't change anything and pressed update, delivery date changed to 20-22nd from 27-29th. For anybody thats expecting one tomorrow and not got a dispatch email/confirmation, apple send loads out it just takes time, the phone will of been shipped, just it takes time to get your dispatch confirmation (same thing happened with my 6s last year)
How do you update your country?
When I try to change my delivery addres, a popup window comes up saying
that I only can do this if I call Apple.
Mine is still processing, delivery date 27-29/9.
You don't need to change country, it's county, but all you need to click is update! Make sure it's delivery details you're clicking on and not billing
No. They won't let this happen again. The exec I spoke to on the phone said Tim and the rest of the team were very concerned about how things played out this year and he was certain they'd create a new system in time for next year's iPhone.
They have to sort it out.
No point signing up for it if you can't get a new phone for launch!
Im considering joining the program if I can get a phone soon enough
I can confirm that as a Londoner who ordered a 128Gb iPhone 7 Plus in Black, I changed my county to London (before it was empty) and it bumped my delivery from 27th-29th Sept to 20-22nd September!
The delivery time still shows as 6-8 working days. This whole thing is clearly a processing glitch on Apples side. I can definitely live with this delivery date! I think they must batch deliveries on county in the UK since that's what allows them to organise their phones by courier, so without a county, they may have added a later delivery date just for extra delivery time as it makes its way to you.

Just had a text from UK MAIL telling me my order will be delivered tomorrow. NO UPS, thanks Saint Francis!
Just got a text saying my Apple order will be delivered Friday, checked my order status and it still says Preparing for Dispatch, looks like it's behind.
EDIT: Mine also says UK Mail.

I have just received a text from UK Mail right now saying my order will be delivered tomorrow!
Congrats! Yrs will come tomorrow. Just do us a favour for those who won't be getting it and leave the thread forever once you do. This thread is for us peasants who have been made to wait.
