What do you think the chances are of getting a store reservation on the 4th are and when do you estimate that they will have it available for pick up. I am weighing up whether to place an order for home delivery (5/6 weeks wait) or trying to reserve on 4th. Looking to use iPhone payments.

It’s was difficult enough the get a 7+ JB via that route so would think it wouldn’t be any easier the time.
 
Called Apple and had manually my payment updated without any issues. Had to wait though 25 minutes, not the best to do while in Rome for a long weekend....
back on track to pick on Friday.

I rang dot on 8am, I have been on hold 1hr 15 mins so far
 
Anyone know when we’ll find out which carrier we’ve got?

Praying for DPD and that one-hour delivery window text in the morning.

With the 8 I got DPD tracking on Thursday middle of the day, if you have the Your DPD app it will show in there, this was before the Apple site had updated.

I bought mine for instore pickup using an M&S credit card on Apple Pay, and so far no declines.

However, when I go and collect it I'm going to ask to go on iUP. What do I need to take with me?

Terrified of UK mail, bunch of clowns that always deliver to the warehouse part of my workplace even if you specify reception, once a delivery goes into the factory here it's a goose chase.

The DPD driver that delivers here is my cousin so no guesses as to who I'd prefer to be handling it!
 
West Quay. The Queue, for I think it was the iPhone 4, started outside the AboveBar entrance .People queued in a line as if coming from Marlands. Very Organised with refreshments from Apple. The staff came out and made sure they had enough stock to sell for the persons choice.

Nice, thanks for the info. Might try and get to the above bar entrance early on Friday just to see if its worth the wait as I have work later that morning. Not holding out much hope, expecting a massive queue and not many handsets available to be honest!

Surely that's more to do with your workplace than UK Mail, where does it say Goods In for your place, I bet delivery companies get this all the time where it specifies Reception and they then get told to go to Goods In so they go there automatically.

Hey another person from the joyous place that is Preston?

----

Just checked my status and I'm "Preparing to ship"
 
Anyone getting charged right now - same plane as the US and Canadian 11/3 phones that's in ZhengZhou right now. (we should know which flight once there's a departure scan from a location other than ZhengZhou).
 
LOL so what? I am going to sell it. I am still using the great value contract I have (40% friends discount so I get 100GB for £42pm). I don't care about the T&C and honestly do you think anyone at EE would care as long as they get their money? I don't.

In the words of Ray Croc - "Contracts are like hearts, made to be broken..." (Look it up if you don't get it).

Did I hit a nerve?

I am simply stating the T&C's. I could not possibly comment on someone at EE 'caring' as its not my place to do so.

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of a contract rather then Ray Croc (who?) quotes.
 
Anyone who had their case dispatched Sunday, anyone's tracking number actually working? Mine says not valid.
 
People need to remember that Foxconn's been making iPhoneX's for weeks. Apple could already have the stock that they planned on using for walk-ins (stores) in their distribution centre in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
 
Anyone know about Carphone charging policy. Went from pending to charge this morning when they originally stated a 10/11 delivery. I thought they only charged on allocation?
 
Another on HSBC where the money hasn't fully been taken from my account (although the gap between current balance is £1149), so just a waiting game I guess.

It sounds stupid, but I kinda wish that those of us getting deliveries on Friday hadn't have shifted to PFD so quickly, as it makes for a longer gap between order stages

I ordered from a iphone x 64gb silver from very.co.uk at 0825 and I’ve got a delivery date of the 3rd nov

Good luck with that! My recollection is that they were quite delayed like most carriers last year.


My AMEX charge has now been confirmed as well (must have been in the last hour as it was still pending when I checked earlier this morning). I think we can expect our orders to change to DISPATCHED in the next couple of hours and finally start their journey from China!

I doubt it. If it’s like the 8 it will change to despatch on Thursday and be delivered Friday. My card was charged on the Monday as well before the Thursday despatch.

Most likely you won’t see the journey. They just appear at syncreon Hinckley.

Yes if it is like the s3 watch last month we wont get dispatched notifications til Thursday when they are dispatched from the UK warehouse. No fun of flight tracking like our US friends!
