UK iPhone 4S thread.

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:

Exactly what I tried to explain to them.

On Twitter ThreeUK are saying that isn't true and that the 'majority' of orders that have been processed will get their phones tomorrow. Brilliant, so they're saying their own CS people aren't telling the truth!
 
Anyone had an email in the last half-hour to dispute the claims that they've stopped despatching today?

I've taken the day off tomorrow, so I'm not in the best of moods at the moment with no despatch email.

I would trust Twitter ThreeUK more than their CS clowns.

^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

Remember something similar with checking my new Macbook Air last year, no changes for ages, then another long wait then some very quick changes & I was playing with my new toy.

I remain optimist always!
 
Hi guys,

Am new to this forum but have been following this thread for last 24 hours...

I have managed to get somewhere in tracking my order and thought I would share with you all.

I rang Syncreon on 00 353 61 443 642 (Ireland) and they checked my order and told me that it is being shipped by UK Mail. I have been on UK Mail website and my details work, informing me that I will receive delivery tomorrow.

Syncreon advised me that Apple orders will not show on their tracking page as it is optimised for Dell orders only.

I rang UK Mail to find out what happens if I miss delivery and they advised, as did Syncreon, that they MUST attempt first delivery, however they can leave with neighbour or arrange collection from depot after first delivery.

Hope this answers some of your questions and puts some of you at ease.

Enjoy the iP4S...

...I'm gonna!!
 
UPS has just updated for me. In Tamworth and scheduled for delivery tomorrow. :)

I just hope it gets here in the morning, before I go away.

Who's claiming that they've stopped dispatching today and what are their sources?

Hmmm... not happy that mine says 'On or Before 17th' then if Apple are saying 14th to other people. Mind you last year I even got an email from Apple a couple of days before saying mine was going to be delayed because of where I lived (nowhere remote or obscure!), but it still turned up on launch day so let's just hope it's Apple trying to not take any chances.

Mine's in tamworth - it has to go to ups hub in Swansea first and then back up my way .. in the UPS system it says delivery on the 17th by days end.

Hi Trying to apply logic regarding my 32GB might be shipped-crazy I know!

What time did you order ? from Apple online?

I finally got my order placed at 9.40am on 7th with confirmation at 12 MD, with preparing for shipment at about 11.30pm last night.

Would appreciate any info, thanks.

Order details have just changed-hope the details above help those still anxious as I was until 2 minutes ago!

Good luck,
Roger
 
my order status is still
Preparing for Shipment Ships: Ships by October 14th

Edit: if i put my apple order number into the ups site i get Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Can also confirm that my Syncreon tracking number provider by Apple works on the UK Mail website as a reference number.
 
Good news everybody!

Note: I'm in Glasgow, ordered the 16GB White direct from Apple on Oct 7 around 9am

My chat with UPS said it will be delivered tomorrow even though my status still says

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

Dashboard widget is free (and the app if there is one?)
iOS app is £2.99. Worth though I think, especially for future deliveries.

My JuneCloud widget was still showing "preparing for shipment" for quite a while after the actual status on the Apple site had updated to 'shipped', even though it still said it was synced
 
Mine just went from preparing to be shipped to shipped

Mine just went from preparing to be shipped to shipped, but the track shipment function is not working. Hopefully here tomorrow, but not sure what the likelihood is. What are other peoples' experiences?
 
Order about 9am on first day. My status was 'Processing Items' last time i checked last night. First thing this morning and it was saying 'Preparing for Shipment' and it still says the same.

Just checked UPS and it says the following "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

Fingers crossed 32gb of white awesomeness will be with me tomorrow.
 
Thats weird, I and others can get my syncreon details when I go to the SYNVIEW 360 Tracker.

Also what details are you using for UKMail - I tried all combinations of the 2 numbers and apple W12345678 number and non work
