Probably because they're "out of the way" so to speak. Most people are hammering Apple and Network sites and ignoring little sites like Very.
Mine says delivery by the 17th on tracking and email.

How about a pre-order directlly from Apple and then a SIM only deal from your preferred network? Thats exactly what I did!
I'm sort of wanting to go down this route but with the Upgrade Program and then getting a SIM only deal, only reason for the Upgrade Program and not a pre-order is that I can't afford to buy the phone outright unfortunatley!
I would wait until Thursday night and try and get one from John Lewis for in store pick up on the 16th.I'm very tempted to order from Very, but they have a no-refunds policy and I'm concerned about this whole locking to the first Sim you put in situation
It does! Just not sure if I want to be locked into 2 years or not, as I will likely want the phone next September too, which is the only thing stopping me going for that deal and thinking of holding out for the Upgrade Program?
possibly, however apple never had any stock for launch delivery. Hey I would love it to come as they say but I doubt it will, no way IMO are apple sending phones to Very when they can't even get their own house in order!
The only way I can see it happening is if the Apple pre orders start to ship out.
Mind you I am Mr Negative with everything so who knows
What a sh*tty morning...
So I went to CPW, waited in line for 20 minutes only to find out they don't do O2 Refresh which means next year if I want to upgrade to the iPhone 7S/8/X/whatever they're gonna call it, then it would cost me a fortune. 12 x £51.50 to close the contract and upgrade, which is a lot more than what O2 want. So I trundled off to O2...
...And found out when I got there that they aren't taking preorders for the 7+ in store, I gotta do it online. Balls. Walked back to car and tried to order via the My O2 app. Not working. Go to the website proper, and the drop down menus were being screwy. Drove home and did it on the PC.
All done now though. £504.99 later I have an estimated date of the 23rd for a 7+ 256gb in black. I umm'd and ahh'd between the 128gb and 256gb for about 10 minutes. Same up front amount, but £5 extra per month. With the bigger screen I figured I'm more likely to pack it with media so why the hell not.

Only thing is with the upgrade you would still be paying like a normal phone contract plus a separate sim only deal. That's what put me off
I'm disappointed by the 4-10 arrival date as I was selling my 6s plus for £473 if I send it within 14 days but now price will be a lot lower now I can't sell it till my new one arrives
There was a bit of a queue at the Kingston store in the Bentall centre last year when I went to pick up my reservation on launch day last year. This was at 08.30 in the morning. There were two queues one for reservations and one for walk ins.
i am pretty sure that buy law as long as the phone isn't opened they have to take it back.
distance selling regulations.
It says you can't return once opened or used etc
I should probably wait till at least next week then before selling that way I can time it correctly when my 7 Plus turn up.
I did this but didn't get an email, just a text this morning saying I have 14 days to send the phone?
Cheers for this - just be aware though the 5% extra does not appear on the order confirmation. When I rang them they said they give you the extra 5% when they have received and checked the phone.
I ordered a black 128 7+ which it says is due for delivery 4 - 10 October. However I'm now concerned that the credit card details were incorrect (i.e. a valid card but not the card I wanted to use). I can't see how I can check this? It was via Apple pay. Does anyone know if there is a number or online chat link where I can speak to someone to check?
7 plus jet black 128GB is what I ordered but won't be here till 4-10 October. Kind of hurts my money resale value on my 6s plusSorry, I think I missed something, what's the 4-10 arrival date?
Whilst I would love this to be true for my sake of picking up the preorder and having no annoying lines everywhere, I doubt this is true. The walk in line is a marketing thing and would damage apples reputation if no walk in stock was available.FYI just finished an online support chat and they said this
They won't supply before Apple but there are plenty of resellers that will supply on the same day as Apple.
I'm not selling my 6S plus after my 7 plus arrives next week. I'm selling my S7 edge tomorrow. I would have sold the edge sooner if mazuma/Royal Mail hadn't of smashed it. I had to get a replacement on my insurance.
bet they wont have black though, or very very limited stock probably kept for regent street / covent garden stores. Unless stock starts flooding in next week.
Makes me wonder how they are planning on fulfilling all the other countries the week after our first wave!
