Great experience with GoodBuyTech. Locked my price in the same day as pre-orders and it was only supposed to be held for 7 days. They only received the 11 Pro yesterday and still paid out £555. Happy with that

Did they not give you a bit of paper ? The parcel number may be the same as on the original email from reBuy/DPD. I am sure it can be traced back.
Im also looking into selling my iPhone 11 pro to rebuy but their T&C states the goods are only covered upto the value of £100 in transit. If the value is higher I should use Royal Mail Special Delivery.

No - just the outer plastic bag the packaging for the return came in!

Panic over though - rebuy have just emailed to say that they’ve received my phone in their warehouse! Fingers crossed for a speedy payment at the agreed price!
 
Amazon out for delivery today ! and I sent in my iPhone X 256 yesterday to FoneWizard a just secured £330 for it (price is down to £275 now ). Thankfully I had put in my request the day before the iPhone 12 release announcement. Some very tight scheduling haha been without a phone for less than 24 hours.

Depends if you willing to trust DPD I was. Do only what you are happy with.

Think you will find that the parcel number will be on that packaging. Does not matter now though. :)

Nope - have just checked the packaging and the only tracking no was for the delivery of the return packaging to me, and not for the delivery back to rebuy
 
Pretty damn unimportant in the scheme of things, but is anyone else struggling to choose a colour for their Pro Max? I've seen multiple unboxings + reviews on YouTube / Google of the 12 Pro but still can't make a bloody firm decision!

All 4 colours do look awesome this year.
I had it firmly nailed down to either Pacific Blue or Gold but the Graphite and Silver are amazing too. Need to see the Apple leather cases in Nov.

Following whinging about EE codes :), Vodafone called to offer £14 per month unlimited 5G. Guess it's capped & I've not actually got 5G in my home area yet but sounds a belter of a deal! I'm currently out of contract on £18 with unlimited 4G. Was gonna wait until Black Friday and hit up HDUK for network offers.

On an irrelevant side note, I flogged my Pixel 5 to a family member but my free Bose QC 35 ii's are arriving from Google this week! Will likely sell on to help fund towards the Pro Max cost.

Nothing like using Google to help pay for an Apple!

If it helps, I ordered graphite but now wish I’d ordered Gold. 😁

I always told myself when the rumours of a blue phone first started circlating - that I’m getting the blue one no matter what.

But the shade of blue, although I think it looks nice, was not quite what was in my head. So now that has opened me up to swaying to a different colour.

I think the blue is really nice, actually, but I am not so much a fan of the stainless steel edge, as the mix of dark bamd plus grubby fingerprints does not appeal to me.

The Silver model looks amazing from the front and sides, the classic black screen with stainless steel edge, reminds me of the original iPhone. Simply gorgeous. And the reflectivity of the steel has an effect that makes the bezels appear smaller.

But... I really do not like the white back of the Silver model. I don’t like how the cameras stick out, and it looks a bit too feminine for me (note that I had the Silver X and XS Max before!). And the back of the blue model is amazing.

An important thing to decide, since I always go caseless!

What kind of packaging do you get to put your phone in. Does the DPD driver bring packaging with them or do you get packaging before and then you arrange collection ?

Still can't make my mind up, so going through the same thing as yourself. I have the graphite SS Watch, so I'm thinking about getting the graphite Max. But the Pacific Blue just looks so nice.

I was going back and forth when the phones were announced between silver and graphite, but then the hands on videos were out and the pacific blue sold me. The plum silicone case on pacific blue just looks perfect to me.

Yeah I was dead set on Pacific Blue during the launch, after seeing it in person that blue does look premium and stunning in sunlight and other brighter lights but much paler blue in low light. The polished blue sides look superb.

Gold they've totally nailed in terms of colour on the polished sides. The back also changes in colour depending on the light. Is the back too light in colour? Maybe but it looks so premium / high end overall.

Silver with the white, as you say, is a classic iPhone colour combo and the stainless steel band is definitely reminiscent of iPhone v1. The illusion with the smaller bezels work. I would have preferred a black back not white myself to make the edges really stand out.

Graphite is cool & stealth. Looks sleek and premium. This would actually be my default buy colour by choice but I've had a lot of dark iPhones. Jet Black on my iPhone 7 Plus was possibly my favourite iPhone colour of all time!

Apple has given us high quality colour choices this year, nice decision choices to have!
