I ordered a retina Mini on Tuesday when it was released, and today I got the email from Apple saying that it was dispatched, even though they said the dispatch time was 5-10 business days.

What I'm most surprised about is that it's coming from Taipei, via TNT. Previous stuff I've ordered came straight from the UK (I live in Ireland).

Do you guys know how long it should take to be delivered? Tracking information is not working yet. Is anyone else getting the iPad from Taipei? :rolleyes:

Cellular or wifi?
 
About this time every year i start to worry seriously about what is actually wrong with me, and whether i have some sort of mental health issue.

I mean i've got a perfectly good order sitting out there which will be delievered the week after next, why am i sitting here constantly refreshing the apple store, ipad-stock check.co.uk and macrumors every five minutes...EVERY YEAR I DO THE SAME THING!!!

sounds like you might be suffering from the same thing :)

+1:eek:
 
Are you sure it is a tint and not the bottom notification centre as it sort of translucent over whatever is behind it?

I wish it had been but unfortunately not, it was evident from the intro "hola" screen and was the same on the opposite side if you rotated it.

I'm gearing to towards buying an air again but may wait for another month or so for apple to sort their act out!
 
Just rang tesco, they're getting the 16gb wifi models in on Monday :)

I did ask about other models but they were taking too long to tell the guy and it only let him check individually.
 
UPS flight from Dubai to Cologne just landed...

watch for an arrival scan and then import scan, then a departure scan later tonight...
 
My Currys order has just been dispatched via DPD, will be with me tomorrow.

My Applle order has left Dubai and will be with me tomorrow.

I can now return the Apple one, and claim my £30 cashback. =D
 
Picked up my rMini with cellular today (32GB) after managing to reserve one at 6am this morning. Was lucky, my first choice store had one, but by the time I had put in my details it was gone, second choice had one space grey remaining which I snagged.

Not had a chance to play yet, restoring at the moment...
 
I've now got mine from Apple store and will have to return online order. How is this done?

I'm in the same boat and would quite like to know how this works.

I cannot begin to tell you how much hard work it is returning (or in my case trying to return) an iPad to Apple via TNT. I put my return request in last Tuesday - TNT didn't call me for over a week (and only did so after I phoned Apple twice) to arrange pick up, which was supposed to be this afternoon, and they haven't turned up. Phoned TNT - they can do naf all as it has to be the Apple department that deal with it, who are only open 9-5. Soooo 9 days later, it's still sat on my dinner table and not looking like going anywhere any time soon. :mad:

From what I can gather you fill in a form online and arrange a pick up date. Then they come and collect. Seems a waste of money having to deliver and pick up when surely they can stop it now?
