Hmm I'm with UKMail, expected delivery today but still haven't received a text. Should I be worried?

I wouldn't be worried yet. It's the first thing I've had delivered by them in a long time so I'm not sure how they usually operate. I have fairly frequent delieveries from DPD and they usually don't give an estimated time until after 9am in my area. I guess you don't get a time until they leave the depot.
 
If I understand what you're saying, you're suggesting the 'extra payment' is if you're short of 11 months payments and you want the phone when it comes out. Yes, in that case you'd have to pay more to make yourself eligible for upgrade. But what I'm saying is, for people who will have paid 11 months in August, they could end up paying an EXTRA month while waiting around for the iPhone to be released. That's an extra payment because you only have to pay 11 months to upgrade, but if there's nothing to upgrade to then your existing contract is gonna keep charging you until you upgrade.

But what I've worked out, is that those of us not yet signed up, our payments will be taken towards the end of every month. Meaning if you get to August and you've paid your 11 months, you'll be eligible to upgrade when the iPhone 8 comes out early in September, before your September payment.

I hope that makes sense and that I've understood what you're saying.

The payments are £49 for the current month, then your next month is one month after that first month. So if it was today, your first normal payment is 20th October, meaning your 11th payment is 20th August. Meaning you're eligible for any September upgrade. If you sign up in October, then you'd have to make an extra payment, depending on the date.

Also, the extra payment is ONLY if you want it on launch date. If I start it in November, I can upgrade to the iPhone 7S (or whatever) in November next year.

Still waiting, hopefully that will change to something relating to dispatch soon? Considering its the 20th now. I can only hope...

"Processing Items
Delivers 20 Sep - 22 Sep"
I was on prepering for dispatch since Friday, and dispatched since late last night (out for delivery today).
I'd think it might be worth you giving them a call, as we had the same ETA.

I can confirm whoever got their 32GB 7+ Black dispatched via DPD last night WILL get their phone today. Ignore Apple's Wednesday estimate.

Can't wait!!!
 
Delivery around midday today! Now the anxious wait begins!

What if my phone has dust in the camera lens? Or makes a hissing sound under load? Or suffers from the odd brightness issue? How long will I have to wait for a replacement if that happens!!

In other news, I have no screen protector because the damn things haven't been dispatched yet despite saying they're in stock (& despite me ordering last week). Tempted to cancel them and go to the Apple Store and get them to perfectly apply the Belkin one.

EDIT: Of course as soon as I post, they get dispatched!

Yeah now I've thought about it, so long as they get pre-order day right for IUP customers next year, it should sort itself out and work out well.

But they probably won't. I think I'm going to buy outright now even if I get one on 6am reserve. Or could just wait for my 4th oct preorder. It'll probably come next week.
 
Well its my Birtday today, shame Apple didn't think I was worthy of being bumped from October to September.

As you know I was in two minds about keeping the 7 or not. Those who have received one, particularly those upgrading from a 6S/6S+, do any of you regret it and wish you'd save yourself some money and kept you're old phone, which in my case was a 6S plus 64gb.
 
Is the delivery window viewable on the website tracker for UKMail?
It was last year, when they delivered my 6S, but I'm not seeing it yet on their website

I haven't either :(
Shame UK Mail don't have a delivery number tracker. I could be at home all day...
Do you mean where it tells you how many more stops the driver has to get to you? UKMail do have that! Well they did have it last time I used them!

One of the reasons I got my phones posted to a business address in Covent Garden is I can take them straight to the Apple Store there and have the Belkin protector applied perfectly.
