thats a good idea - return other disc to apple!
Might do this. Is the update disc box & barcode exactly the same or does it have any special sticker on it differentiating it?
If you mean you're wanting to return something you bought in the online store to a retail store, you can't do that.
Stuff you buy from a retail store has a UPC barcode on it, stuff from the online store often doesn't.
They operate as separate entities and each has their own returns procedure
I'm sure I got mine the day it was released. :-s Might be my memory though.
Apple didn't guarantee it so I can't bitch. Just wish I'd tried to cancel a day earlier.
Will try to pick it up at the Bullring after work. Doubt anywhere in Wolves will have it.
Yes, the UTD disc is exactly the same as a retail disc which is exactly the same as the SL found on the Mac Box Set. Any SL disc can install onto a blank HD
I'm in Sheffield too and no postie as of 12.36pm. Although down the road in Dronfield where I work the postie is out and about.
Postie been and gone here in Watford, no UTD SL.
Remember ordering the retail copy of Leopard before it came out and it was delivered to me on the morning of the launch, so Apple can definitely do it. Perhaps they pushed the release date forward at the expense of getting the copies distributed to all the local distribution centres in time?
At the end of the day, we'll still be getting it very early Sept which is earlier than we expected a few weeks ago, and I have a feeling it will be a bit of an anti-climax when it's installed anyway

There's only PC World in Wolverhampton and I doubt if they will have it yet. The nearest Apple Premium Reseller is at the Merry Hill Centre, which is where I'm picking mine up from in a half hour.
Signed for post usually has a set "delivery-by" time (noon or 1 or something).
No sign of anything so far for me ... sounds like it will be next week before we get anything.

I wouldn't trust PC World either. I spoke to people in my local store asking if they would be getting Snow Leopard in over the weekend, and the man just blankly looked at me. After I told him what it was, he just left and told me someone wold be with me soon. I waited for a good few minutes, but no one showed.
I'm going to be getting my copy from the Apple Store in Glasgow as well.
Not looking good is it?
I suppose the one good thing about it being a Royal Mail delivery rather than a courier is that if it doesn't come today, there's still a chance it might be delivered tomorrow (Saturday) - at least for those of us who are having it delivered to our homes.
So has anyone in the UK who ordered early in the week and went for free delivery (i.e. Royal Mail) actually had theirs turn up today? If so, what was your estimated delivery from Apple (a screen shot would be nice)?

haha, I was imagining of them handing out apple pies to customers from there lol
There's an apple store in Leeds if you count that as being on your route
