Urgh I have UKMail.
I can't speak for all the UK mail guys, but I know a few, and I can tell you that if they have a shed load of iphones in their van, they are going to stuff the optimisation routes (which give you the hourly windows) and get rid of them all as soon as they can. There's a high risk of hijack and they don't want to put themselves at risk, so they will offload as much of it as early in the morning as they can.
I have UK Mail, which I'm happy with. I had a computer screen delivered broken on two occasions when DPD were delivering it, so my faith in using them for expensive electronics is rather low since then.
I've never had any problems with UK Mail when they have delivered to me in the past, so fingers crossed for another smooth delivery on Friday! ^_^

I hope so. Three years ago when I ordered the 6s, I had UKMail. They delivered the iPhone to me at 7:25pm. The whole day was gone. I was pissed, annoyed, refreshing the whole day. It was a nightmare, and I don't want to face it again.
I had DPD since and it was much better. Now, back to UKMail...*sigh*
Wait!? You can do this???? I've always sold my devices with them and accepted the loss.. as a result this year I wasn't going to buy AC+
what you doing with the phone it was associated with? sold?

Yep i had a similar conversation, and in reality i don't think they can see what orders are going to be shipping. When did you order?
I can't believe I didn't know this! My X had over a year left and although I sold it with the AppleCare+ it made pretty much zero difference in the sell price.
I have offers with envirofone (£635) or Music Magpie (£650). iPhone X 256GB.
did you transfer the apple care to the new owner? I had to call apple and give them the new owner name, email, address etc (for my S3 watch)I can't believe I didn't know this! My X had over a year left and although I sold it with the AppleCare+ it made pretty much zero difference in the sell price.

ah yes I remember... not in IUP
losing a few braincells with IUP related questions
If I sell to another person I sell with AC+ as it's a good selling point. This year, to avoid all the hassle I'm planning to sell to Music Magpie. They don't need it or enquire about it.
Is anybody going to the Apple store tomorrow without an appointment? Planning to get in the queue by around 7.45am to get a XS on iPhone Payments, not sure what to expect and whether I'd be successful?
it was about 7:50am on the pre-order day (I can't remember when that was - was it Friday?)
I did think of eBay but would of needed to sell a couple of weeks ago. Don't have a spare phone. Was contemplating buying a cheap one but, now selling to MM I can keep my X until I get my XS before selling.

Yes, I sent him the original receipts etc but after he asked me to ring Apple and do a change of owner for the proof of coverage like you. Still got my S3, it ends on eBay tonight.
Makes me wonder if people ever sell them 'with apple care' then cancel them
defiantly something to be wary of in future, I've bought Laptops on ebay with AC+ in the past.
