Got the DPD email at 08:28. I don’t see an option to book a slot though. Is that gonna become available later today?

You get the slot allocated in the morning, but you can't upgrade Apple deliveries as they typically don't allow it. Assuming your order is an Apple one...
 
Oh shoot totally forgot about fees damn! Never mind then probs best to just send it back 🤣

Yep - I sold my iPhone 11 Pro 256 for an amazing £849, but then had £24 deducted by PayPal and eBay will want a slice too. £11 to post it Royal Mail with insurance, all adds up but I'm happy to recoup £800+

Incredibly my AO order from yesterday might turn up tomorrow, I am astonished - but just pisses me off Currys couldn't get stock

Isn't it usually 10% for ebay fees at the end of the month?
 
Ah interesting... not going to the store alone is worth probably £50 😂

I wonder though if you do the 24 month one, with the lower monthly payments, you will have more to pay off next year when it comes to upgrade time.
yes you will have to pay off more after 12 months but you're playing less per month. but after 12 months both IUP or 24 month loan is the same over all. see a quck sheet I've knocked together:

so by the time you come to upgrade, in IUP you'd have paid 689.95 in total and have 508.08 left. where as with the loan you'd have paid £549.08 but have £648.92 left on the loan.

so with the 24 month option, if you're expecting to sell your phone after 12 months and that it covers the loan, then it sale price might not cover the remaining balance. save those extra pounds less your paying each month ;)

Yep me too.

Got my DPD notification though and an email from Apple that my trade in box has been shipped, so we are all systems goooooo!

Thank god for this forum! I just got my email that the trade in box has shipped too - went to check on Apple Store app and no orders showing and website times out.

Guessing @tomj200 is right and they're updating their shipping codes etc but man did I panic!

Tried live chat.

They will not budge.
Same for me. I have loyalty discounts on my current plan but the most they would offer on chat was the same deals as on the website plus a one-off £10 credit to my next bill. Will try again later.
 
Apple Trade in email received but still no DPD email so im pretty certain DHL or UKMail will be delivering mine

no idea but as per my earlier comments, don't do it.. people have been burnt by upgrading and then DPD not being able to fulfil.. given how busy they'll be tomorrow! then you have the hassle of getting your money back for it. just chill, wait, read the forums and it will turn up
 
Logged on when the site opened -> site crashed -> eventually ordered -> delivery date 2-9/11 -> order now showing as 'Arrives 9/11' :-(

Order status not showing at all now :-(

Hope it's updating with an earlier delivery or I might have to join the queue at John Lewis tomorrow . . . .

Yeah, it’s an Apple order. So what you’re saying is that my delivery slot has already been decided and I won’t have an option to choose my own slot or have it delivered early in the morning by paying extra?
