Just spoke to the 3 web sales team- they claim that Apple have stopped them dispatching phones today, and won't allow them to be sent until 8am tomorrow morning. Therefore, as they're coming via Royal Mail, there is no chance of them arriving tomorrow. I pointed out that this didn't make sense, since those on other networks had had confirmations of phones being dispatched- the guy I spoke to claimed they must be on same day delivery, and that this change had happened this morning. I pointed out that surely Apple was keen to ensure customers got the phones as soon as possible, the guy I was speaking to said he had made the same point when told this morning as he was expecting lots of angry calls.
