My wife’s o2 order is showing as dispatched and she has tracking info from DPD…

Mine is coming direct from Apple and I’ve also for tracking info from DPD.

The woman told me that no one would have updates till tomorow… so lied to me grrrrrrrrr

I told her on the site if I select 256GB it says 16th but she said on her end it will be 4 week delay :/
 
So everyone on team DHL is getting this :

DHL have been fine for the last few years but I do prefer
DPD and the fact that you can track from when they receive the order instruction from the seller!!

Such is life..
Same :rolleyes:
 
So pissed off lol, what’s the point on having preorder date and -recording on said date as early as possible just to be told it could be a 4 week delay… Guess I will miss my trade in slot and lose value on current handset grrrrr
 
They don't do the deal that dbrose mentions but they do have some good ones on atm: https://www.voxi.co.uk/sim-only-plans

Just to add, they don't run a credit check either.

Cheers. Had an absolute nightmare with voxi and pac codes last time so transferred back out pretty quick but could have been tempted with u/lim data.

Probs going with ID Mobile/Smarty this time. The deals at the moment are unbelievably good for loads of MVNO’s

My Apple 'Dispatch Notification' emails came through at 1147 and 1153AM, in the same order I bought them & roughly the same interval.

Clicking on both takes me through to DPD which I'm delighted with, though we do get excellent service locally from both DPD and DHL (and UPS, but they don't seem to play on Launch Day anymore).

New to the forum (followed the site for years). I upgraded through Vodafone but had issues where the confirmations didn't come through until the early hours of Saturday morning! My order didn't show up in my online account orders but I did have a confirmation email and contract docs. I've just spoke to Vodafone and they confirmed that the order IS there and it's "awaiting picking by DPD". Just putting it here in case anyone else has a similar issue with Vodafone upgrade/device plans :)

Thanks that's encouraging. Because this is what I've had since I ordered and it's not changing so far.

Same. Just got an iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB in Silver. Due tomorrow. Means I don’t have to stalk John Lewis or the Apple stores 😂

Presumably I don’t need to activate the SIM and they won’t take anything next month

Yes just log into your profile and you can cancel the sim and then remove your bank details 😁

Never queued for music releases, but have done for some XBOX games and defo for some console releases.

I queued up at Toys'R'Us at stupid o'clock in the morning, back in the day, for the launch of the Xbox 360! I hadn't reserved or anything so didn't manage to bag one. Then drove to my local PC World (before they joined up with Curries), where they had just 5 consoles available and managed to bag one right there!

Also, I friended a complete stranger in the very ancient O2 Forums for the iPhone 4 release back in the day. I then arranged to pick him up in my car and we drove to the Apple Store in Kingston for our phones!!

Good job he didn't turn out to be an axe murderer...!!!!

I haven't been able to check the thread for about two days... no chance am I catching up! 😂

I'll have a little browse through the last ten pages or so and see how you're all getting on!

Hope everyone is good & excited for tomorrow!
 
My DPD delivery is allowing me to leave in a safe place

Yet Apple state on the order page it must be signed for 🧐
They will deliver to a neighbour as a safe palcve as they can get a signature from the neighbour

Can anyone do me a solid and DM me a discount code for EE - I would be eternally grateful

I'd really like this too if possible for a SIM only plan? AM also looking at Sky sim only but been happy with my EE coverage.

Just received my string of upgrade messages from EE, all signs are pointing to delivery tomorrow, but DPD app says Tuesday. Just gonna have to wait and see if I get an update through DPD either tonight or tomorrow morning.
I imagine with the bank holiday on Monday they are pulling out the stops to get deliveries out in advance to minimise backlog.
 
Damn, Mines DHL, its never DHL for me with apple always DPD. DPD for me is always late afternoon but DHL can be early and i've got work tomorrow morning, Damn
