Not sure if this is the right place but I'm selling my O2 upgrade, white 32gb. I only want enough to cover the costs.

I can't get used to the white, going back to black

You know what they say, once you go black...

Definitely !!!

Went into the Metro store today, waste of time

"Have you tried reserving one after 9PM sir"?

"Yes but you never put any up for reservation"

"They go rather quickly sir"

I kept my reply of "Bollocks" to myself.

"We have them on contract sir"

"Well sell me one of those then"

"We can only sell them on contract sir"

I politely left before I told them where to go.

I will waste my time again at 9 tonight, then again, Sopranos is on at 9, might just give Apple a miss.

absolute classic, my laugh of the day, i know exactly what you mean.. my friend came up with this analysis he said youd have more chance of arsene wenger fielding a full english reserve side then getting an apple reserve...

^^ lol best of luck

 

[driftwoodtea]

no no i mean to say that mostly the fones are coming from Shenzhen China!! but how come he got it in a day!! :/

My phone came in a blue UKMail bag with a return address of Syncreon Technology, Leicestershire.

I'm suspecting that while all will come from China, they're not individually dispatched there. I'd guess once a larger shipment has arrived its split up and distributed as required.

I'm assuming that I only received my dispatched notification once they knew the phone was in the UK and sorted for delivery.

Still haven't been charged for my phone either. Obviously they've reserved the money, and if I was a scammer they can always just block the phone, but I find it slightly strange - though quite refreshing - that a major company isn't just grabbing the money ASAP!

so they took the money then gave it back to your account right? coz this has happend to me but the orders still processing... im confused

 

[Zcott]

If I order from apple.com, when does my card get charged? Is it as soon as I place the order, just before it ships or as it ships?

Well mine will be delivered from the UK (Syncreon Tech. probably), and should arrive by the 1st. It is waiting to be assigned to a carrier.

I was considering going there today, glad I didn't

I was charged straight after I received the order confirmation email from them.

Credit Card or Debit Card

Credit and debit cards are processed immediately and are Apple's preferred payment methods for fast delivery.

Yep.

 

[daveathall]

Well would you credit it, got a white 16gb at the metro.

 

[shandyman]

can anyone that reserves one confirm if they only hold until midday? or is it until closing? as i could reserve one now

 

[Zcott]

Got one reserved for the Belfast store, which somehow had them all in stock for reservation.

 

[superdudeo]

must have got a massive shipment in. all models in all four stores in the southwest have still got all models avail for 6 mins and counting.

 

[daveathall]

can anyone that reserves one confirm if they only hold until midday? or is it until closing? as i could reserve one now

Mine said midday.

 

[shandyman]

Mine said midday.

yea i went thru to the last stage and it asks for a time slot. that's crap that it;s only until midday, as it ruins it for peeps that work 9-5.30 earliest i can get to the nearest one is 7pm due to trains

 

[Donka]

Mine says midday too. Aberdeen still has all available.

 

[ste1164]

Finally!!! Managed to reserve one 32GB white

 

[katiekitkat]

Finally!!! After trying every night at 9pm I have tonight managed to reserve one! Phew!!! Just got to get up especially early tomorrow to go and collect it before work. The only problem is, the Voda store won't be open to get my micro sim, so won't be able to use my new phone!

 

[jmaten45]

Looks like they've finally caught up with themselves. I managed to reserve tonight after about a week of trying.

I just wanted to check - is it correct that I can buy the phone I've reserved SIM-free, or does it have to be locked to a carrier? I know this probably sounds like a stupid question but I saw a page on Apple's website that got me, irrationally I'm sure, concerned. Thanks.

pick up time?

hey guys,

i reserved my 16GB black iphone for in-store pickup from Apple store in
Birmingham (bullring). Pick up time is at 8-8.15am and the actual store opens at 9.30. Will I be able to pick up the phone up to 6pm?

I am in class from 9-12.30
