Getting frustrated now. Ordered white 32GB around 9am, email confirmation at 11am, saying "shipped by the 14th".

A mate who sits next to me at work got his email a couple of hours ago, I'm still waiting.

After last night's ios5 debacle, I'm losing patience with Apple...
 
is it me or do most people on here are doubting whether it will come tomorrow.

It isn't fair apple put us through this. They should make sure the people who preorder get theres on the day of release.

my white 16gb order with bumper was made before 9am on the 7th. Still preparing to ship from this morning.

i had the same problem with ipad2 which ordered from pc world.. just got fed bs about how id get it day release and it didn't drive till the thursday after.

this no delivery saturday is an absolute piss take. WE WANT A PHONES TO PLAY WITH OVER THE WEEKEND! not to come home monday with a note through the door pick up this at your local post office:mad:

if i dont get it tomorrow ill be sad but knowing it might come saturday would be reasonable but apparently they dont want to pay delivery prices on saturdays:confused:
 
Just spoke to UPS who confirmed my delivery between 9 and 7 tomorrow.

Told you guys not to worry :)

I wonder if that guy will get his £70?
 
we should start a petition on apple's wording of delivery if we dont get are phones tomorrow.

ships by 14th just isn't good enough
 
Last year, I didn't get my dispatch email for my iPhone 4 until 1:34am and it still came that day

Stop panicing!
 
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.

:mad:

Sounds a bit iffy to me, don't see why only one network would have to wait until launch day before they can dispatch phones. :confused:
 
Just as an aside, if anyone is waiting on their delivery email and uses an Apple email, you probably won't get it because the iCloud mail servers seem to have fallen over.

Best keep updating the store page.
 
Are many of us early pre-orderers still on "Preparing for Shipment"??

64gb Black ordered at 8.40 still stuck there!

UPS trick is a no go either.

:(

;_;

Same here, plus no joy on UPS trick... I'm presuming that there's a problem somewhere at Apple's distribution that's caused some of us early pre-orderers to not have a status tracking update.

It could well be that the pallet was loaded onto a van but not tracked. Ergo, it may well actually be at or travelling to a local depot this afternoon and you'll receive delivery without any updates.

It's happened before...

If you haven't got your shipping confirmation by now I woud forget about waiting around tomorrow for your iPhone. It wont be coming. Sorry folks.

So wrong, it takes some time to update the status, a phone with "Preparing for Shipment" can already be on the way

lol how can you say that... no one knows

site might just be a little behind with some peoples orders... no one knows
 
This is complete BS. If there's stock there (and there obviously is as we've got this "shipped by 14th" nonsense, why aren't they despatching it?
 
Just checked my O2 and my account has been upgraded and got my tracking number today for delivery tomorrow. Well done Carphone Warehouse!!! :D:D:D

How are you so sure? If you look at the iPhone 4 pre order from last year people were in the same boat

^This.

They can ship it any time up to around midnight and you may still get it the following day.

Although I suspect that there's been a problem with the tracking on at least one of the early batches.

I still reckon they'll be out for delivery tomorrow even if the order status page hasn't updated.

All the best,

Mike
