I just got off the phone to DHL for about the 8th time today
apparently, because I live in a residential area (go figure) my item has been passed on to an independent service, this can take anything up until 9pm to deliver.
I ask for some info on the service and a contact number and she said "we don't have their details"
I asked "You have no details for the people you just handed my parcel over to"
"ummm no"

Stupid woman.

So basically I have to wait another 3 and a half hours, and if it doesn't turn up...tuff luck as DHL will be closed by then. *sigh*

Do you have their number? I want to call them to know what is going on.

You're absolutely sure? DHL themselves just told me 6pm. Where did you hear 9?

I spoke to DHL, it's usually 9-5:30 but if they pass it on to an independent it's up till 9pm.
you cans ee if you've been passed as your tracking status will say HDS IOD

No - I'm still waiting - deepest cheshire and the DHL tracker updated with HSD between 16:00 and 17:00 - no sign yet though.....

I don't have much resolve yet - I'm reaching for the bottle...

Just realised! This is annoying. Has anyone been able to activate recently? If not I'm off out and will try again later.

Out of interest, is this phone even charging when i have it plugged into USB on my computer? Or will it refuse to do anything until it's activated?

I was just about to say the same thing!

Got my iPhone at 3:30pm, had to wait until 6:30pm to take it home and use it. Now I'm having a lot of fun with connecting to the iTunes Store...

Sad I know, but I'd just feel better looking at it sat in it's box right now, warm and cosy in the knowledge I can't use it.....

Well... I agree with above - better an unactivatable phone than no phone at all!! :eek:

Still waiting for mine - Epsom, Surrey
