Couldn't see any change on my DHL order, personal tracking is still just the creation in Eindhoven from Saturday. At this stage I've gotta hope they're on their way but not trackable in any way - DHL wouldn't want anything hanging around in their system for 20+ hours...
 
DHL do have their own fleet of air cargo but they do outsource, it could be on a UK bound British airways flight with passengers for all we know, its possible. It will be airfreighted tho the uk now though, its the most efficient way for such small devices these days
Is it allowed to send devices using lithium batteries with passenger planes? I thought I read somewhere that the FAA and the EASA banned such shipments. But I am not sure.
 
Anyone on that DHL shipment in Amsterdam yesterday as seen any movements since yesterday. I haven't so far
NOT YET - i dont think that 6 digit tracking number will be the final one - perhaps Apple will hand this package in Amsterdam to another division within DHL or use another courier from the UK - i will give them a call and find out what happens about Amsterdam
 
how was you notified that it failed? and what time did you order on 9th?

Order confirmation 08:07am

I got this email from apple last night

natwest said apple hadn't processed the payment and it was nothing to do with them, phoned apple and gave them my card details, looks like it's all sorted now but he said that the status of the order might not change until tomorrow!

DHL LOGISTICS FACILITY, SCHIPOL AIRPORT, AMSTERDAM

The old man finishes hand labelling the last iPhone package he has removed from the shipping container. He begins strapping each box to the back of a cat.

The cats will be released together at dawn on 30 September. It is hoped that as many as 15% of the packages will reach their destination by year's end.

The man smiles contentedly to himself. When the 5000 cats are released, the stampede will be glorious.

He tightens the strap on the first cat.

The cat seems less impressed.
 
Anyone order from BT? Ordered at 8:12am on the Friday (first day of preordering). Expected 16th (matte black 128gb 7+). Keep getting the same email every 5 days saying:

"Your order has been delayed due to stock issues. We will contact you again within 7 days to keep you updated on expected delivery."

Even though they send that same email each time ^ with no actual expected date.

Rang them up and they said they can't give anyone an actual date but it will be most likely be delivered in October if not definitely by early November... not the answer I would like to hear!

Weird as hardly anyone I know is on BT Mobile so I thought ordering 10 mins after preordering opened with them I would have received it sooner compared with someone like o2.

Maybe someone could call DHL today again to asked what is going on with the shipments.
// and if they have released the cats are already ;)

DHL are doing the delivery right through , you can get your personal express tracking number by getting your shipping reference from the Email and using that on the DHL site . There hasn't been no movement on it though! Cats haven't been realeased just yet
