The New iPad Pre-Order Status Thread (UK) - All Models

[MrJoshua-UK]

Pure genius.

Syncreon tracking is now showing my tracking history as:

16th March 2012 @ 07:08:52 -- HINCKLEY GB -- OUT FOR DELIVERY
15th March 2012 @ 09:49:56 -- BIRMINGHAM, ,GB -- ARRIVE TERMINAL
15th March 2012 @ 07:05:26 -- HINCKLEY GB -- SHIPMENT PICKUP
13th March 2012 @ 18:00:00 -- HINCKLEY GB -- ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE

And there was me thinking it's still the 15th of March.

Mine says the same, just with slightly different times.

This is very true. Premier 24 is the service used by UKMail. That means pre-noon 'guaranteed' delivery at worst. UKMail also offer Premier 24 in pre-9am and pre-10:30am varieties.

How can I tell if mine is via Premier 24? My reference number works with UK Mail but can't see the details you've mentioned.

Impatience at its peak

 

[tednol]

It's understandable if they are cutting a few corners as long as we all get a new shiny toy tomorrow!

My iPad has changed from 'Exception' to:

15 Mar 2012 18:00:00 Nuneaton Shipment In Transit.

Exciting times! Sure something similar will happen to any of you who's TNT tracking is saying 'Exception'. Mine seemed stuck on 'Exception' for the best part of the last 3 hours.

Syncreon said Birmingham arrival at terminal, is it in a TNT/UKMail/UPS terminal? And if yes what's the tracking number?

 

[xApexPredator]

Just got a text from Apple telling me that I won't be getting mine till the 20th, what the **** is this? I ordered on day one. I wish I could cancel it and pick one up from a store now, first and last time I do this online.

I wouldn't have minded if I was informed earlier, but less than 6 hours from launch?

I think they all are.

You'll need to get your Consignment Number from the UKMail website, by tracking your delivery using your reference number (which begins with an 8.) Then enter your consignment number at http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_quickpod.html

Click 'More Info (Open)' and the delivery service should be shown in the top right.

Mine is the same, except mine says 08:18 tomorrow or something like that.

I like the estimated delivery date of March 13th.

 

[tann]

I've looked around the TNT website and can't seem to find the answer to this but does anyone know at what time TNT start delivering and what time they do their last deliveries?

Many thanks,

T.

 

[Ashwee]

Just found mine too, It's with UK Mail, never heard of them before

Usually around 8am or whenever the driver gets out of the depot.

It all depends on the route though... First delivery might be an hour away from the depot.

 

[andybno1]

syncreon are wierd..... first it says expected delivery 13th march and then it also says like above it went from hinkley to birmingham an back traveling a total of 65 1/2 miles just to go out for delivery from original depot

my question now is wheres my iPad? it was suppose to be delivered on tuesday lol

 

[mpn85]

UKMail

UKMail has updated my parcel's status to Delayed with a new estimate of 19th March for delivery.

I rang UKMail just before 6pm and was told it's been scanned at Birmingham and that there is no reason why it shouldn't get moved down to the local delivery office this evening.

I'm extremely skeptical, since the delivery estimate has also been updated on Syncreon and Apple's tracker, but I've seen how rubbish these trackers can be in the past. I've been told it should update between 1am-5am to show arrival at the local office and loading on to a van. If that doesn't happen then I feel sorry for whoever answers my call at UKMail in the morning

 

[asayer]

Mine is sitting in Birmingham - hopefully will start moving down to london soon. Good to know it has been scanned into a 'High Value Cage' lol

Anyone's UPS details give any other info other than 'processed ready for UPS'? It says a shipping label has been created but still no estimate delivery date? Been like it all day.

Anyone else had luck with UPS? I normally get mine via TNT and they seem to be a lot better at providing tracking info!

Mine is still saying 'Ready for UPS'

I'm getting rather worried now, as other people are saying they can see a lot more detail.

Used the alternative business post link to get the extra tracking info, it says the ukmail delivery service is Premier 24. So hopefully it should arrive before noon as I have a lecture 12 til 3!

This is very true. Premier 24 is the service used by UKMail. That means pre-noon 'guaranteed' delivery at worst. UKMail also offer Premier 24 in pre-9am and pre-10:30am varieties.

Thanks for this - I am Prem 24 as well! Can we therefore starting planning our day on the solid assumption that we shall have our iPads by 12? It would really be helpful to be sure of this!

Flexible and simple! Premier 24 combines these, and more, in a reliable, signature-inclusive next-day delivery service that comes with a range of timed delivery options, including pre- 9am, pre-10.30am or pre-noon delivery slots. Simply package your item, then ship it through our secure, network for a stress-free solution that meets all your delivery needs.

Looks like it!
