Order status has moved to preparing for dispatch, maybe a chance of delivery before the 7th - 10th window. Here's hoping anyway:)
 
Big update!!!

My phone's status has changed to "Preparing for Dispatch". At last! :D Does anyone know how long it will take to arrive?
 
Yup same for me, shipped by TNT and delivery estimate is the 6th!!!

----------



Do you know how to track our phones?

Not yet. Have checked the TNT site and none of the tracking numbers they have given me work in any of the boxes yet. I can't see how its going to take more than a week tho!

I'm going to start Googling to try and find some TNT flight information.

I'll do the same, and share any info I find, since it is likely that our phones are being shipped together.
 
I bit the bullet and picked one up from in store. It makes my old 5 look like a toy.

There is a TNT flight currently en route to Hong Kong from Dubai. Its due to land there about 2030 UK time tonight. I'm not sure how long the turnaround will be but I'm guessing ours will be on the return flight.
 
mine is shipping by UPS, still in China according to the UPS website. Says on schedule to be delivered by the 1st, hopefully that does not change

Btw, my delivery date changed from 6th Oct to 2nd Oct, did yours?

It has! I haven't had an origin scan yet but I'm guessing they are going to be on the next TNT flight from Shanghai to Liege in Belgium on Monday, then Belgium to the UK on Tuesday and delivered Wednesday.

Where in the UK are you?
 
UPS website now saying delivery on the 30/9 keeps moving up a day, maybe get it Monday :cool:

NW London, so I think we should get phones around the estimated date? Hopefully :)

Apparently our phones have reached Pudong international airport at 17:47:16.

As you said, they are going to Liege. I'm predicting they are going to be on this plane:
Mon 02:30 Pudong, Shanghai (PVG) 08:30 Liege (LGG)
TNT Airways 3V 2 Non-stop Boeing 747-400 Freighter (74Y) 12:00 Valid until 2014-10-20
This is a Scheduled Cargo flight.

Then, I think - tomorrow 10am(our time), the plane should land in Liege.

Thats the one! It takes off in about 20 minutes. I have my FlightRadar app open and ready to track it.

I reckon they should hit UK shores on Tuesday and either be delivered Tuesday or Wednesday.

All I need now is my Griffin Survivor case to arrive from the US. Thats been in the post about 10 days now!

I had the survivor case for iPhone 5 and found it a bit bulky - but it offers quality protection. As long as your phone is locked in, it isn't going to get 1 scratch. I've settled for the Spigen tough armor for this year though.

I need something with good protection for work. I've had a Survivor case for every iPhone since the 4S and I can't say I've ever had ay issues. The iPhone 6 Plus is such a beautiful device that I wouldn't want anything to happen to it. And thats on top of "bend gate" too!

Have you had any update on your status?
 
Good news, UPS have my iPhone out for delivery today, a 2 day improvement over the original date. Here's hoping for an early delivery :D

Nope, it's still in Pudong international airport, so maybe it wasn't on the plane afterall? Hopefully, it gets on the one scheduled for today.

Yep, it's in transit now - but I'm not sure where it's off to. Do you know?
But I'm worried about this "In transit to destination country - next updates expected in 4-5 business days" - it's on the orders site.

glad I read the comments in this thread, I have a 13th to 20th October estimation, but I see most of yours got dispatched 3 days ago... and my delivery estimate is 3 days after yours. So Im hoping mine moves status today :rolleyes:
 
True to the UPS website the iPhone arrived this afternoon, great phone seems to be perfect, no dead pixel's screen looks fantastic and looks so much better in person. I hope all your phones arrive soon.. Cheers
