im really tempted to just get one online....however i dont want to spend 700 quid and have to wait 2 weeks to get it.
I've ordered one online, and will cancel that if I manage to get one in store before hand.
Ordered my iPhone 4S last night and the delivery date shows between 31 October and 7 November. When I check the status of my order it's still showing those dates. However, when I checked the store tonight and go through the steps of ordering one, the delivery date is now showing 26 October to 2 November. I'm wondering if I should I cancel my existing order and reorder with the quicker delivery dates...
does the money not go out of your account until you get the phone?
Has anyone actually bought one from an apple store this week? This reserve system is really starting to annoy me.
please i need a desperate answer, doesn't anybody know if there's any possibility of the phone not being delivered within the given estimate delivery dates? It says 25th October and 1st November. In between i mean. If it doesn't get delivered before 2nd of November i will not be able to get it.
I'm making it deliver to a friends house and she wil bring it to me, but her plane is on 3rd of October. If i miss it i will not have it.
Please i need an answer
in my opinion you should be ok. my delivery date was 17th -24th however i am getting mine tomorrow.
highly doubt they will send you the phone after the given time scale.
You could always order a PAYG phone from Vodafone - they have 32gb and 64gb in stock. Unlocking costs £20, but at least you'd get it in a few days.
Dont think a lot of this new reserve and collect system - haven't yet found a store with ANY apple product available - clearly they are having issues.
Think I'll call it a day and stick with the 4 and save myself £699. Sorry Apple, you need to get yourselves sorted better

Mine says 25th of October - 1st of November. If it doesn't get delivered by the end of the 2nd of October i will never be able to get it, that's why i'm asking.
Apple are very good at delivering earlier than the latest date that they quote in the shipping estimate. I have never known them to deliver later than the later date that they quote.
Please keep us informed as to whether Apple cancel your order, bearing in mind that you are using a foreign credit card with (presumably) a foreign billing address. Let's hope that they don't, but they did it to me when I tried to order the original iPad from the U.S. store and have it shipped to a friend in the U.S.A.
i did that same thing with the us apple online store couple months ago and i successfully bought a macbook air.
I hope they don't cancel it. I've got a warning from my credit card company saying that if you are not making a 600 pound transaction from apple.com please warn us. So that means they've contacted my credit card and that is a good thing, i guess?
Regarding this vodafone thing.... can someone link me to this £20 unlocking option? Because the only place I can see it mentioned is that they will do it AFTER your contract is done?
