iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

Crazy Badger said:
Question(s) for anyone still reading this thread that has their new iPhone 7 - where did they go from China and how long did each leg take? And did they usually arrive on the UPS expected date? Thanks

Pretty amazing really! What date did UPS give you when it was still in China? The 22nd?

Yep, date it said it was going to deliver on the initial tracking was today. Yesterday I woke up with it having left korea and about midnight last night I saw it had arrived in Germany. Wasn't entirely convinced it was going to get here today, but can't grumble at 9:19!

Would it still appear for pick up even though it's been opened and used?

Did you buy a silver one without the intention of keeping it?
Click to expand...
Not at all, I went online .. tried for black, saw it wasn't available at launch, thought I'd be fine with silver (which I already had in 6 plus and 6s plus). It's just that I can't get the black out of my head. Spoke with Apple and told them it's literally just the colour and said it's absolutely fine to change just for that reason. So I'm trying to find out before I have to send this one back. If I can't though I'll carry on with the silver. I love the phone :)

It wouldn't even go back for sale if it was unopened. All returns become refurbs/brown box replacements AFAIK.

When you return a sealed item it will eventually be opened to check that you haven't opened it, taken the phone out, put a brick in it, and resealed and returned it!

Sounds right. I bow to your superior knowledge.

Anyone with October delivery times (with Apple) had their dates moved up?
I may have to beg, beg, BEG Apple to let me return outside the 14day window! I can't be completely phoneless!

Are there any online retailers with stock due soon? Looking doubtful now. Spoke with someone in John Lewis and they reckoned weeks before they get more!

Nothing mines been stuck in processing not changing since the 9th.

It feels like Apple aren't even doing anything with the online orders, I don't even bother looking every day now as it seems fairly pointless.

Ditto... not a change.. I think it's fair to say the oct orders will likely remain as is until next week..

Maybe I've been lucky in the past or it's because I ordered Matt Black or because the store app was screwed up this time, but this is now the longest I've had to wait for a launch day order.
 
Covent Garden showing "unlocked" on the checker but impossible to reserve or do pick-up! Argh, so annoying.

Likewise, 7+ 128gb in matte black, still stuck on 4th-10th Oct yet was ordered within 20 minutes of apple store becoming available. After years of pre-ordering this is definitely the longest and hardest wait I've ever had also, I thought I'd be ok with it but it's beginning to bother me!
I think 'Pauliet' is right, can't see anything changing until next week at the earliest now.
 
If an order is made online for a store pickup with a time slot ...... does anyone know how to change the pick up slot, as I can't find an obvious way to do this or what happens to the phone if you don't turn up (they have pre authorized a card) does it get immediately cancelled or do they hold it for a certain time ?

Thanks

They will give you time, not sure how much though. Have you tried calling the store and explaining the situation?
 
Finally....

Just managed to speak to apple by phone ...... if it's for an outright purchase apparently the phone is kept for 20 days for collection. :)
