Mine was dispatched on the 29th September,
As I ordered a leather case to go with it, it appears you don't get tracking details until it meets up with the case in the uk,
I have just checked on the apple order page and it's now showing appointment requested,
Can anybody tell me what appointment requested on the tracking page means ?
I have a delivery estimate for the 6th October
 
Anyone on the DHL shipment had delivery today yet? They say it's out for delivery and delivers by the end of the day, but the courier is actually syncreon/UKMail and we don't have tracking for them.

EDIT: Just seen the post above. :)
 
Just received my despatch notice for my black 128gb 7 plus. How many days does it normally take after a dispatch notice?

I ordered on the 22nd.

How do you know the courier is actually UK Mail? I assumed a DHL van would deliver.

I had an email update from DHL (I signed up for the updates) that said "Ship From: ADI C/O SYNCREON"... And I've also had almost all of my Apple deliveries via Syncreon (UK Mail). My DHL tracking also states "With delivery courier", which seems to suggest that they've handed it other to another party to deliver.

Not 100% certain just seems to make sense. Could be completely wrong!

Thats what mine said and it was DHL that delivered. If you phone up as per instructions posted earlier you can get a better time of when they will deliver.

How odd! Anyway good to know that they're delivering today... I was worried that today was simply the delivery date to the courier, with an additional 1/2 days for them to do the final delivery. :)
 
So my status has changed on Apple. Its now showing as Appointment Request, does anyone know what this means? Previously to this it was on way to customer, on schedule.
 
It arrived earlier :) got to say I'm impressed! The Jet black looks awesome, it feels great (not plastic or like a 5C at all) i will be testing the dual lens camera later today :D

Hi guys , i have placed an online order for delivery but i have decided to use the iPhone upgrade program, is it possible to take it back to the store when i get the delivery and sign up for upgrade program? cheers!
 
Mine's the same, preorder at 0819 on 09/09 and is stuck in China... UPS are still saying delivery of 05/10 but I'm unconvinced

The only day I can see for delivery is on the Apple site and that says tomorrow. UPD says Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later. It at least appears to have departed China now at least:
03/10/2016 18:10 Departure Scan
03/10/2016 17:26 Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.
03/10/2016 17:01 Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery.
 
Hi @lgladdy what does "unlocked" means on your page?

https://code.gladdy.uk/iphone/
It means the store has the model in stock, but has run out of Upgrade Programme reservations slots.

But if you walk in to the store to buy outright, you should be able to buy it.

(You'll probably have to insist to the Specialist that you know there is stock though, because they will probably just tell you to reserve online and that there isn't stock.)

Did you order from Apple? So to understand this you ordered on 22nd September and its dispatched now?

I thought it said 3-4 weeks so you must be lucky to have it dispatched.

Should get here by end of week

Yes you can do that. They will refund it back to card then take it back out with IUP

Hi , can someone please explain to me how to use push bulllet and istocknow to get a notification whenever a particular iPhone is available as this 6 am attempts are proving frustrating . Thanks

Try here for the reservations page and push bullet. They use the same Json file as istocknow if I remember correctly from previous threads... I.e. Does the same thing just no pretty GUI!!

It finally arrived and is currently restoring from back up! ONE ISSUE though - it looks like there is a scuff/mark where the jet black enclosure meets the screen on the right side:( going to have to contact apple about a replacement once JB becomes more readily available. However, in its clear case now, the colour looks great and that mark isnt visible. Hope you all get yours soon!
[doublepost=1475503808][/doublepost]the JB really does look amazing!

Does it look like this? Mine had it; wiping with a lot of pressure with a microfibre cloth got it off completely! :)

Gone from requesting appointment to final handover so must be in the uk ?
As you know, I'm in exactly the same boat as you buddy mine did the same, with est delivery the 7th but I reckon it'll be tomorrow. I think ordering the case with it has pushed us back a day so they can pack the case in.
