iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

How do I track my order when it says 'Preparing for Dispatch'?
I swear there's a way...
I think you are talking about UPS track by reference? And it only works if your phone is being shipped by UPS and also only when Apple have actually created the shipping label. But if you want to try it then go to the UPS website, (not the mobile version!) and click on the tracking tab at the top, then on the left hand side click track by reference. Use your Apple order number, the one starting with W, as the reference. Also try it minus the last to characters. Let me know how this goes! Also, check your support profile :)
 
I'm intrigued with the screen protector. It sounds very tempting. Mind sharing a photo of how it looks on your iphone?
Here you go.....

Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't work yet, so I'll have to wait.

I've also had no luck, but if you are the same as me, 20th-22nd and currently preparing for shipment, then they could already be in the UK. And then it's probably gonna be a DPD or UKMail delivery. Praying I don't get TNT, they sound very slow from what people have been saying!
 
I've deliberately held off commenting on the posts people have been making despite being quoted in some of them but it's getting tiresome reading it now.

It's a free country. It's my money. It's my life.

I do with it as I wish.

If that happens to be joining other like minded people on our yearly pilgrimage to MacRumors UK iPhone pre order threads then so be it.

If it's obsessing over "just a phone" so be it, even if it involves us moaning and whinging about things. We choose to put ourselves through this and we enjoy the drama that goes with it.

You who moan about us are under no obligation to come in here and read our posts, you are perfectly free to create your own thread and have some nice rational conversations.

So perhaps instead of coming in here using condescending comments to try and belittle us you could wind your necks in?
 
Same but 8:05, I haven't been told of any issues with Apple Pay but I called up this morning and changed my payment to a debit card, just incase that was the issue. Was told a £1 authorisation was approved whilst on the phone for the new payment method but nothing ever showed up as a pending transaction in my Halifax online banking for it.
Same here mate i changed my payment method on the phone to apple 7 hours ago and no pending payments on my halifax account..
 
It will appear in your support profile before its dispatched. Mine isn't on my profile yet and my status moved to 'Preparing for Dispatch' nearly 30 hours ago. Be patient, it will happen in the next 36 hours or so

The person I was quoting/replying to was wanting to track their delivery. Don't get how the support profile is relevant to my post.

You know what the fact that we are even here posting on a forum about a phone says a lot. We are obsessive so we will want our toys Now!! Whilst I might not be disgruntled that is the point of this place to have a place to sound off.

It's absolutely human nature that some people take the stance that they're going to take a step back, and rationalise. Others, like the majority here, get excited and inpatient. Neither outlook is wrong, only when the two come together to discuss it. No one is willing to see the others side.

Sorta like the sitting down/standing up situation for wiping arses.
 
Mrs was gonna buy a 7 128gb on the IUP but when a mate of mine offered to sell his brand new sealed 6s 64gb on 3 for £300 we couldn't resist

3 now sell all their phones unlocked, hopefully other networks follow suit

But one side doesn't need to comment on the other side does it? Coming on this thread feeling the need to comment does nothing. Nor will it change our opinions

Changed my payment method at 5:00pm yesterday after the apple pay fiasco.

Still no charges to my bank, still no movement on my order.
 
What a depressing post.

People should be welcome to vent on this community forum without fear of someone like you telling them to shut up.

People are allowed their opinion and your interpretation of Apple's responsibilities is only as valid as the next person's.

What is tiresome is the relentless defence of Apple no matter what they do.

This isn't a court of law. People can and should express suppositions and beliefs in the spirit of friendly debate, even if you think they are wrong or self-indulged.

No more depressing really than the posts from those whose world has fallen apart because they can't have what they want when they want it ... works both ways. ;)
 
I paid when ordered, had £1 pending but yesterday my order changed to Preparing to Dispatch and full amount is now pending on card.

Expected delivery is 20th - 22nd
