Edit: A tip for those still waiting, who have DHL delivering your phone.

Use this number to call customer services on the day your phone is out for delivery...

0844 248 0844

Enter the waybill number, and then wait until the automated service tells you the whereabouts of your parcel. Say "advisor" after it's finished, and it will connect you to a real person. Ask for a more specific timeframe on your delivery, and the CS agent will phone the driver, and ask how long he/she will be until it gets to you!

Todays is my delivery day, finally! :-D I just tried the little tip above, only to be told that they are no longer calling drivers due to them being delayed from having to stop an answer the phone each time. (Hands free, anyone?)
Interesting that straight after giving my reference number, the advisor asked me if I was excited to be receiving my iPhone 7 - I'm guessing they are receiving an increased number of calls for some reason?! ;)

Still, worth giving it a go if you really need to narrow down the window of delivery time... a different advisor may just check.

Regardless, Im working from home all day... and when I say 'working' I really mean constantly peeking my head around the window :)

If anyone wants a 128GB Jet Black 7 Plus ping me a message. Anyone who has been following my saga will see I've ended up with one more than I needed! If no-one is interested I'll have to return it. Open box to check it's not been smashed up on its way from China, but unused. Not looking to make any money on it. :)

Preparing handover to final carrier switched to In transit to destination country.
Is this normal?
Yes. My order, being delivered by DHL, did the same thing. There was an internal DHL delivery from China to Netherlands which tracked with one of the 6K numbers, then it switched over to an 8xxxxxxxx number for tracking between Netherlands and the UK where I can see it has flown to East Midlands, arrived to local delivery facility, and now out for delivery. The Apple tracking status constantly changed during its trip from China. This is for a JB 7 128GB that had a 4th-10th delivery estimate.
 
Mine has just updated to say it's now in Korea, and no scheduled delivery information is available...arrggh! :mad:

We must be on the same flight :p now in South Korea and likewise my delivery info has been removed

Mines been stuck in Korea for a day now :mad:, still delivery scheduled for tomorrow and still says its on time!

I was hoping after the delay in China it might speed through Korea, but that doesn't look hopeful either
 
18th-31st October order now moved to dispatched.

How do you track the DHL number beginning with 6?

Maybe it's too early to be on the system yet?
 
I just called UPS which was a complete waste of time. The guy on the phone was saying the package is still in China and it should be delivered in 2 to 3 business days.

To add insult to injury the face has just come off my Apple watch and because of iPhone 7 craziness the first appointment available to get it swapped out is on Friday afternoon.
 
Hey guys

Out of interest when you select a collection window, will they actually turn you away if you arrive sooner? I set mine for 4pm but id rather go at 2pm now due to changes in my day.

Cheers for any insight

Just head on down there. If you're not doing the IUP then you'll be in and out within 5 minutes :)

Is this a new Apple Watch? If not bear in mind the Genius Bar still cannot swap Apple Watched there and then. You may be better off getting it sorted over the phone.
 
..... and it's here! My stunning Jet Black Plus, and I'm very impressed, it looks gorgeous! :-D

Update for any others checking order dates / delivery dates etc:
My pre-order was placed direct with Apple around 8:15am.
Original estimate was 3-4 weeks - 10-17th October.

I'm extremely happy it arrived a minimum of 6 days early.

Good luck to everyone else.. the wait really is worth it!
