Yes i think you could be right there!, are you including weekends or just working days?
well i ordered 17th, got preparing for shipment on friday, so did other people who ordered on 16thand 18th so take it as you want, i reckon it was a regional batch, and it came from ireland
It will be very nice if it changes to "preparing for shipment" tomorrow
c'mon 
be nice to us!!It will be very nice if it changes to "preparing for shipment" tomorrow
be nice? no no they make you suffer and suffer and suffer, iv never been so impatient over anything my whole life, probably because i paid alot for a phone that hasnt come to me straight away... lol its coming tomoz though and so glad my job keeps me busy so i wouldnt even notice the time fly
Glad yours is coming, and yes i know what you mean, it seems like i ordered it years ago, i though i'd try the online process this year last year i queued 7hrs for the iPhone 4, but we did get free Starbucks coffee and biscuits
im never ordering online ever again.... like ever ever again the wait is causing me mental depression and i looked into it and its a fact men get more excited over gadgets and suffer over-excitement
Yep i'm with you on that one! next year i'll do the release day queue again i think, at least it will be within that day and not that year
yes, they said that to me as well, it was the policy of the moment... but I still got the phone! show them the website next time.. it'll work

Had a 32GB reserved at the Arndale on Saturday for collection between 11:30-12:00pm. Anyone that's been will know what it's like for parking on a Saturday, took me forever to find a space.
I got to the Apple shop at 12:08 and was turned away for being 'too late' (yes 8 WHOLE minutes!) and told to reserve for another day - only now there's only 64GB phones available to reserve whenever I look

Wow! That really sounds unreasonable! I think I'd phone and complain nicely! Or if you don't want to do that send them an email? Might help??

They wouldn't allow collection before the timeslot either - I had a 64GB reserved in the Arndale on Sat at 9:30-10:00, got there about 9:00 and was told to come back later, even after explaining I only wanted to grab it, pay and run, didn't need any setup help / "Genius" time etc. The store was empty when I first arrived, when I came back at about 9:40 it was rammed and I had to wait in the fanboi public queue of humiliation for a good 15 minutes or so. Worth it though, it's a great phone; no yellow screen, no heat issues and I've just put it on charge after it powered down after 25 hours standby and 6:30 hours usage (nothing turned off and lots of apps installed), so the battery is looking pretty good too.
Weird. I was 20 mins early and they let me have mine, there was a queue of 4 people then a few more joined after me.
I never had a problem, was the guy behind me. As I have already said, it does say on the site you need to take ID.
Due date 1-8 Nov

24th.
Allocated a UPS number, and will be delivered tomorrow , one day early
When did you order and when was your expected date to arrive?
is it coming early on your last possible date to arrive or first?
then u shud wait for i think 5th november to change ur status
So have you found the phone normally comes at the end of the projected deliver date than at the start?
Just interested to know. Is there anyone here, among all the moaning and upset about apple not delivering etc etc who has actually had their phone delivered LATER than specified by Apple?? I suspect it's just one or two but we're making it sound as though Apple are rubbish at delivering on time!!
Thanks
Thanks
yes totally true!!
