It was meant to be!

yea I believe so, after a month of waiting and multiple tries!

nice one mate - id love to see you at Mcdonalds in the queue hahaha ;0

Hahah, I will have to be wheeled in if I keep getting lucky at McD.

Well I'm an o2 customer and I've been in the refresh program since 2013. My impression of it was that it was an easy way to upgrade to the latest and greatest phones because I didn't have to pay off my airtime. Just pay off my device plan which I hand done 3 times so far. However I was never under impression that I was somehow elevated to VIP status and was first in line to get a new phone and I'm on the upgrade after 1 year on us tariff at the moment.

I'm so glad after the torrid experience you had with CPW. They need to refund your money ASAP!

Thanks mate, yea I am still hassling them for it. Unbelievable.

On another note, I got the Apple leather case, which I find to be slippery and a Belkin glass screen protector. Unfortunately it does not cover the entire screen. Any other suggestions?

Hi all,

**First ever post klaxon**

New here but been an Apple fan/customer for years!

First time I've ever encountered problems with a phone order and constant slipping of estimated dates! I've ordered a 128gb MB 7+ on 20th September.

On Apple's tracking page I get:

Status In transit to destination country 08 October 2016
Est. Delivery 10 October 2016
Carrier UPS

On UPS' tracking page I get:

View attachment 664250

It used to say 10th October for delivery from UPS but now it's showing as 12th October (keeps moving back and back and back! :mad:)

Is anyone else in a similar position and have any more information? Once it's got to Cologne is it usually quick to get into the UK?

Any information would be truly appreciated! I just can't wait any longer for this damn phone!

Haha.

Thanks!
Following morning mine arrived once it left Cologne

cheers Matty mine is still in Amsterdam i think - 2 off them and one in Germany - hopefully i just get all three tomorrow and let this hellish wait end - its been way too long !
 
Did you do what I said too earlier about the other tracking site? Shouldn't be in Amsterdam still. Mines Already been to Germany and gone! That other tracking page stopped after it reached customs
 
i tried the dates today and put UK as the destination - nothing comes up - i got the reference from the apple email begins with 8 so not sure

Leave the destination blank? That worked for me but may have just been coincidence. Mine was same shipment (DHL) as yours.
