non of the above blanked out numbers work on UKmail

if I use the tracking and additional order numbers on syncreon 360 I can see my delivery address and estimated date


Wondering if this means they are doing the delivery???
 
UK Mail working for me too :) Says its using Next Day service :D

The one thing i hate about deliveries, is in my area they probably arrive before 10am about 5% of the time, 95% of the time its after 1pm.. but because of that 5%, i have to get up at 9am and wait, even though the chances are i will be waiting another 5 hours :rolleyes:

^^ That!

I just did the same after reading someone had found out its UKmail. Tracking number worked

At least now i know what van to look out for tomorrow! we get alot of deliverys at work so i'll be sat at the window like a puppy dog!
 
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.

Benny & Joon's a good film, you'll enjoy it.
 
What a joke. I rang up Apple and explained that the email they sent me on the 7th (the day I Pre-ordered it) to confirm my order said it would be deliverd for the 14th. The man on the phone INSISTED that meant it would dispatch then, and arrive next week. It still says "Processing Items" on the Apple page. Apple's service is actually quite bad, worse than it used to be anyway.

So my day off work tomorrow is a waste, unless miraculously it's delivered by tomorrow. And if that's true, that Apple won't deliver OUR iPhones for Saturday, just because it's a bit more expensive, even though they've delayed us, is fundamentally wrong and bad business.
 
Im getting this error when trying to log in @ apple store account.


There is a service timeout or connection error. Please try again later.


Anyone else has this problem?
 
Mine (through syncreon) is also showing up on ukmail. Good, their depot is much closer! Doesn't show much on there, but at least it says they have it, and it'll be delivered tomorrow.
 
Woo, my UPS page has just updated

Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 10/14/2011, By End of Day
Last Location:
Tamworth, United Kingdom, Thursday, 10/13/2011

Apple store still reads; Preparing for Shipment Ships: Ships by October 14th
 
After reading a few threads on here I thought I'd give UPS a shot using my order number as a reference. The Apple site still says "Preparing for Shipment" but it definitely came up on UPS as label printed. This doesn't guarantee a delivery for tomorrow though.
 
Status on Apple is now shipped, full tracking details now on UPS:

Tamworth, United Kingdom 13/10/2011 16:11 Origin Scan
United Kingdom 13/10/2011 8:55 Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I'm in Buckinghamshire, my local UPS depot is in Dunstable so as I said previously, it'll now be trunked to Dunstable from Tamworth overnight.

Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 14/10/2011, By End of Day
 
Just spoke to TNT the confirmed that my phone would be delivered to me tomorrow yay! :D by the way its a 32gb black and i live in Birmingham

Happy Happy Happy :D:D:D
 
Yey! :D

Mine just shipped in the last 5minutes! :D

Though was a bit worried as I only checked my bank account just before and the money that was held was free and wasn't taken. Money's still not gone. But I'll just assume the bank will eventually update.

edit - Email through now. And mines is by UPS and expected on or before the 14th :D I'm in Glasgow if anyones wondering xD

Vodafone are shipping out on Parcel force, just had text on the wife's phone to say its on its way from North London.

Considering she ordered a few days after me and I have yet to get a text, she may get hers before me..... :mad:

She is now walking round the house gloating... she will be impossible tonight if I don't get a text soon...
 
Got the preparing for dispatch this morning at about 11:30. They are still preparing it :p must be adding extra bubble wrap or something :p
64GB white. Ordered 7/10/11 8:45. Confirmation 7/10/11 9:19.
 
Get in!!! I put my Apple Ref number (W123456789) into UPS and it 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."

32GB Great White suddenly looking likely on launch day (the first time I have got involved in any of that; given the anguish these past couple of days, I won't be doing it again I don't think). :):):):):):)

I'm ordering at the end of the month..how long do you guys reckon it will take to delivery? 2-3 weeks?

Just go to the Apple store mate. You'll be able to pick one up off the shelf! Spoke to the Liverpool Apple store earlier and they are not experiencing shortages although I was warned I may not get the precise spec I am looking for. 16GB versions are clearly the most popular at present.
 
Order has just changed to 'Shipped' on the Apple store!! :D

Randomly mine is being sent with TNT?! I hope it arrives tomorrow!! Majorly excited!!! :D:D:D Ordered 16GB Black - It's being sent to Northern Ireland! There's hope for us yet!! :)
