I don't think changing the address actually makes your phone arrive any earlier, it just forces caches along the logistics stack to update. I think it would have updated to the 20-22nd eventually anyway, probably at the point the next "change" happened.
Your explanation makes sense.

Though I wanted to try and show someone from Apple that the page was not 'real time' as she said, and sadly I wasn't able to get that through to them it seems!
 
Has everyone that has a date for tomorrow from apple have their status changed to dispatched??
Mine still says preparing for dispatch
 
Does anyone have the link to chat with apple about my order? I cant seem to find it!
Orders page - a small blue link on the right hand side 'Questions about this order - chat with us now!'

My Watch has not dispatched and it's allegedly coming tomorrow. Albeit I'm not there to take it.

Yeh, to be honest, they probably don't understand about how these kinda things are built. Usually it's legacy system built onto of legacy system and all they're trained on is what their customer service user interface does and shows them.
 
People seem to be forgetting that although the deliver by date is changing (mine was the 20-22 anyway), the dispatched date remains at 6-8 days which means the phone will not dispatch until next friday at the earliest. All this changing address will not make a bit of difference!
Doesn't it mean 6-8 days from when the order was placed?

So will be dispatched 19th-21st. Which would be next day delivery and would be received 20-22nd.
 
Wow you want everyone's details? That's going to be one mega thread right there!! :eek:

Haha there's enough long threads at the moment to read I guess! I was just keen because I've read the occasional post (mainly in the USA thread) about orders for 27-29 September being delivered for tomorrow.

Seems the UK won't be as fortunate, especially for those who have ordered Jet Black plus configurations

I tried the business customer thing too.....they said no phones had been ring fenced. Just reserve as normal!
 
No change from Preparing for Shipment on track but just had a text from courier saying my Apple order number will be delivered tomorrow. New courier I haven't seen before though UK Mail, usually been DPD or UPS with previous Apple orders.
 
Just spoke to someone at Apple - my in-store pick up is being prepared for collection, but this is not showing on the Apple order page.
Interesting call from my local apple store as I'm a business customer.

He said that as a business customer I can get a jet black if I wanted as Apple have ring fenced stock of all phones for business customers.

I had a similar call yesterday and was told earliest delivery for a JB + was 30th September.

Agreed. This happened to one of my orders for the matte black plus model. Last night i wanted to log in to try this address update "trick" and my dates had automatically already come forward to 20-22 Sep
 
Finally... Apple Watch preparing for shipment delivers tomorrow.

Got 2 x 7 reserved in store tomorrow, 128gb Black and 32gb Rose Gold.

7+ 128gb Black on pre-order with Apple for first week of October to replace the 7. Will be my first + model but think that's the one I want now due to the cameras.
 
Anybody else's pick up from an Apple store order moved along or still on processing items?

Mine says that just with the time window I have chosen for 16th.

Just reading on here people with black / jet black orders seeing dates slipping, mine is a 128 gig black and now I'm wondering if my pick up from store date is going to be moved?

My in store pickup is still on for the 16th September but my order is still "processing items". As well as this, Apple put a hold on my card for the full amount a few days ago but it's gone now. Worrying.

"My"? You aren't getting one phone shipped to the store. It's one from the allocated stock the store are getting.

If "yours" is ready, others will be ready to.

Although I'm not sure how they know that. What you see on the order page, they see. Probably just saying that to calm you down.

Mine still say "Processing Items".

Where on here have people said there pickup's have been delayed? If it says to collect tomorrow at X time, it'll be there.

Mine's gone too, I've spoken with Apple Customer service and they say there's nothing worried about, the pre-authorization amount they did days before and now it's gone means it's pre-approved already, once they prepare for dispatch full amount will be taken off.
 
Trying to decide when to worry. Vodafone upgrade still on 'order accepted' with no other emails or movement since Friday morning. Can't even check bank as it's added to my phone bill.

Wish I could remember what has happened on previous years. It's always come on release day though.

Everyone is in the same boat with Vodafone. No one has received any information regarding deliveries. Their live chat are useless and know less than we do.
 
Hey!

I pre ordered the 7 Jet Black 128GB on Apple UK store. I was apart of the first wave to order which showed the 1-2 weeks to dispatch. Currently my Order Status shows processing and Apple still haven't taken payment. Should my iPhone be getting dispatched tomorrow at the earliest? Is there anyone else in the same boat as me? Thanks!

Hey! Exact same as me. JB 7 128GB. Order status shows processing, 26/09-03/10 and no money taken. Got the email confirmation at 08:03. Oh well, will just have to be patient!
 
Fed up of all this ****! Literally got a massive headache - so just went and placed an order with apple for November delivery of jet black 256gb plus and no one dare tell me it wont be delivered!!!!!!.....will still be stalking the shops tomorrow
