iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

Wonder if it's a safe bet that UPS are also on that plane.

Same here. Now it's two of us trapped there.

I just can't believe that it's still there. I'm hoping that it's just that the info isn't updating but it's still physically in transit.

Does stock appear to come in randomly or are the patterns for hours in the day to check iStockNow?

Stock comes in random through the day.

But seems that today there are no deliveries but as above posters have mentioned there are numerous planes headed into the UK so stock should start arriving into UK tomorrow through the week so might be worth checking tomorrow through the week.

Picked up my Matte Black Plus 32gb from Apple Store Birmingham this morning. A really lovely new store. They were great, traded my old phone in and they put the £ straight onto my credit card which I used to pay for my new phone. Phone is lovely. Set it all up in the shop and home now. Very happy!

Thanks, I'll check through the week! I've decided the regular 7 isn't quite for me but I need to return it before Friday...hoping to get a 7 plus before then!

Had a UPS text for the 28th, so I guess Apple's date is correct.

I've had a text to say delivery will be the 28th!! UPS tracking hasn't updated though.

Anyone who is looking for a GOLD iPhone 7 Plus in 32GB or 128GB, Carphone warehouse have them available on there website and you can also buy them sim free, and apparently if you order before 5PM today you will have it tomorrow.

The Carphone Warehouse ones lock the the first sim you put it.

Who is delivering it?

If it's DPD or U.K. mail you should get it tomorrow or Tuesday.

If it's wit UPS it's likely to be a few more days.

Even the sim free ones?

 

[AVBeatMan]

Even the sim free ones?

Yeah. I got my 6 Plus from there. I had a problem with it and Apple replaced it but said that they had to lock it to Vodafone as it was locked. Carphone Warehouse iPhones are sim free until the first sim is inserted.

Wasn't aware they did that with the SIM free phones. Cheeky.

Thanks for the heads up.

If the phone has been paid for I'd imagine the network has to unlock the phone? It cant be legal that a phone stays locked when its been bought off contract.

That's why they advertise them as SIM free, not unlocked.

They stick the blame on Apple. I suspect it's more the deal they did with Apple, as we know ones bought from Apple don't do this.

It is actually DHL Express / DHL global forwarding
And it seems like it Is coming directly from China
Anyone having similar experiences with Apple shipments
As the tracking number is allocated to a shipment from there as well as weighing over 201kg what seems like a lot of iPhones

Thats annoying. The network can't refuse to unlock it though can they? It won't be on one of their contracts.

Heads up, 128 MB and 256 Gold 7+ available in Belfast right now 3:48

Mines from Apple.

You'd have to follow the procedure of that network and any costs they charge, I believe.

It was from Apple.

Anyone else with a UPS tracking got the status 'Exception'? Worryingly UPS describe it as

Your shipment is currently within the UPS network; however, an unforeseen event has occurred which could result in a change to the scheduled delivery date. If a change in delivery date occurs, the tracking status will be updated to reflect the new delivery date.
