Bah

Sitting in central Belfast twitching at every bit of traffic that goes by..Mine has apparently been out for delivery since 10:59 this morning..Must be getting the grand tour!
 
You would've thought that indicating mine was a business address might've meant it would come before 5pm - still no sign of it with 45 minutes to go.

If it arrives after 5 of the clock I dinnae know what'll occur.
 
Conventional wisdom would make you think that...but this is a carrier but not just any carrier this is TNT.
 
No delivery as of yet to Magherafelt :( been out for delivery since 12:39. Got mum to ring whilst I was in school because it said to call on their website and apparently they are swamped with orders today and reassured her that it will be delivered today!

Sitting patiently waiting, getting excited every time the dog gets up and walks out the room incase he has heard the TNT van!

Very envious of the guy with 2 new iPads sitting in his house. I say sell it on for a higher price! You'd definitely get it considering the waiting period for iPads. Even if you try CEX they might give you a good price?
 
I phoned Nutts Corner at 4:30pm, mentioned mine had been out for delivery since 12:15pm. Guy asked me where it was going to, I told him, and he said the driver for that area was finished for the day! I thought we were told any time between 9:00am and 6:00pm.

I'm off to waste petrol in the morning then to go and pick it up. Buck eejits the lot of them!!!!

I would complain if I was you. Phone Apple and they will sort out for you.
 
Lol...what a joke! Nothing here either, I'd say he's gone home as well and marked it as an attempt with nobody in! Wouldn't be the first time!!
 
Well it finally came!!!

Seems uk mails website doesn't update live, as 10mins after my last post, the stores dept phoned me to let me know it was here!

Turns out, it's all the uk mail guy has been delivering all day!

Mine was out for delivery and now :


16 Mar 2012* 17:52:07* Aberdeen* Shipment Received At Destination Depot.
 
Arrived at about 6:15pm, had to have photo ID and everything! Very happy I finally have it. Beat standing outside Victoria Square in the cold!
 
TNT Nightmare

I phoned TNT at 5:30pm the guy on the phone said it should be there by 6pm. 6pm nothing, phoned again on hold for 20 minutes told it will be Monday now! So I thought forget this went to Comet and bought one at 7pm, gets a knock at the door 9:20pm TNT ! So I refused the delivery, do I need to contact apple or will they automatically refund me?

Same issue, TNT told me they will come around 9pm due to being very busy... and nothing came. I phoned, the guy said my iPad returned to depot and they will try again next day Saturday.

Bloody annoying !

For your case, refuse delivery and phone Apple to inform them.
 
I don't know what to make of that TNT lot! As I said yesterday, I was told on the phone that the driver for my area was finished for the day. I went home (huffing :)) but at 6:30pm I got a text from a workmate to say the iPad was sitting on my desk. I don't know what time it arrived, who they gave it to but Hollywood couldn't create a better farce than TNT.
 
I was told by TNT it would be Monday so I went out and a delivery was attempted. I wasn't aware of it being attempted until I got a call from Valentina at apple who pulled out all the stops to get it to me later that day. The iPad arrived at 7pm that evening. Valentina said she wasn't going to leave the office until I received it. I have not received customer service like that from any company, let alone one the size of apple!
