Ah thats great. Thanks very much. I had a confirmation email from Rebuy but I haven't been given a pick up date yet. Did you get an email? I completed on the process on Saturday so I had better get a move on and get my phone ready.
Got a tip for us?

Unless Apple come up with an alternative way to complete the process then you might be waiting until December. At the moment you have to do it in store and stores will shut on Wednesday evening until early December.
I can totally understand you not wanting to test the theory until someone can confirm.
I would be tempted myself to send a few messages to agents on Apple’s chat support and see if there is a consensus on the subject, or if they have some concrete knowledge of the steel coatings.
Then again, who am I kidding. I’d be the idiot who polished it anyway and found out for myself. I’m a sucker for testing theories and wanting to know how things work 😂
Yeah i think that its too short notice for Apple to do anything in just 5 days. There would be a lot of back office changes required for a short 4 week pieriod so i think they might wait it out for 4 weeks to see if the stories can be reopened.
As has been said earlier in the thread, it’s more likely the issue is with Barclays than with Apple.
Apple has the facility to do mail-in IUP in the US, as such I’d imagine the backend stuff is already there from their side. Banks here are notoriously stuck in the past with the way they work and that seems like a bigger sticking point.
Great price really...makes me wonder how great it was before the phones were announced
Aye it’s looking more and more likely.
The bigger issue I have is that I will only upgrade to 12 Pro Max if the camera is substantially better (on 11 Pro Max), so ideally I want to see the reviews.
Maybe one way is to just place a full-fat pay upfront order on Friday, wait for reviews to drop on Tuesday, then maybe can cancel in time?
In the meantime pay off Apple IUP regardless and start trade in process with Apple.
Annoying weekend - we get tracking in Syncreon - and on DHL.Just in case you miss out, buy a copy of this first:

I needed to think some more so didn't order my 12 Pro until later on 16/10/2020. Result being delivery this coming Monday. So I know what it is like...
Syncreon shows it arriving at nearest depot twice. On Saturday morning and again, very early this morning (Monday). No - didn't leave the depot, just arrived twice.
DHL eventually showed it out for delivery. And even more eventually will arrive lunchtime.
From my point of view, it looked as if they could have managed delivery on Friday. Failing that, a Saturday delivery doesn't seem exceptionally far-fetched for an expensive device.
Do they do Saturday deliveries? I wasn't sure if they did or not.
I’ve had that case on my 11 Pro Max for a year now with no scratches. And the back is raised so the lens don’t touch the surface. Unless they have changed the iPhone 12 versions I don’t see there to be a problem.
Fingers crossed it comes soon for you! The wait is the worst!Evidently not!
I have breathed a bit of sigh of relief. My 6s has been needing to be charged two, three, even four times a day recently. Suddenly, sometime last week, it has been lasting much better. Very odd.
The only change I am sure happened is that the NHS COVID-19 app was updated. But that wasn't using a huge amount, only one or two percent.
I’ll agree with that. The wait is always the worst. Hope it arrives soon!
Harder waiting just to preorder. Longest 3 weeks ever!!
No upgrade it is then. I honestly can't be arsed to sell the phone, repay the loan, end applecare+ and start it all again.
I managed to be calm until it got to being shipped!
Posting mainly so anyone else can see what might happen to their orders. It is far from the most important thing but it is so easy to get ridiculously obsessed checking.
And the original said November 2 to 9 - and am the front end of that.
I find it odd that you didn’t get an email confirming that they would arrange DPD pick up. Mine was for the following day but that probably wouldn’t be the case at the weekend. Why don’t you give them a call? Worst case scenario you could go through the online process again today for a DPD pick up tomorrow.
No they won't! That's England.
Wales is re-opening next Monday.
(I have no idea if Cardiff will actually re-open, but the current plan seems to be to allow at least some, possibly all, retail to re-open. Could easily change by then.)
