UK iPhone 5 thread

I've never even heard of Syncreon before, hope you guys that are getting your phones delivered by them get them on time!

Syncreon are just the middle men as such. They pick up the deliveries from apple and store everyone's order in their huge warehouses (near Hinckley). Now we're close to the release date, syncreon then pass them on to local delivery services such as uk mail or ups, depending on your location.
 
Mine is being shipped by "SYNCREON" as well. I read online that they are almost like a middle man and aren't the people who actually deliver your parcel :confused: They are the people who handle the flight or something. That doesn't make much sense to me because why are some people seeing UPS already?

I read it from here if you're interested.

There's an article about who they are here too.
 
What does this mean?

Entered my tracking number on UPS website (UK) and got this:

UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

I've never had an early delivery. Usually the last . Think they go left at the depot exit and we are right lol.

Thats because UPS plan thier routes to use left turns as much as possible as it saves fuel rather than maybe having to wait for traffic to clear to turn right. They tested it on Mythbusters (with mainly right turns for being in america) and it worked surprisingly well.

They didn't deliver my iPad 3 and then said that they left a card - which they hadn't. Had to drive to their depot in Birmingham on Saturday and they took over an hour to find it in the warehouse.

My wife was also heavily pregnant at the time (my son was born the following Tuesday) so it was smiles all round ... not.

Oh dear, hope you have better luck this time :(
 
Tethering question.

I've paid my Orange contract off so I can upgrade Friday, I've pre-ordered with Phones4U as they will discount the amount of a 3GS off the price of the iPhone 5. My question is, I want unlimited data with tethering allowed, the only network I can see is Three, but I've heard too many horror stories about their signal that I just can't bring myself to join.

T-Mobile would be great with their Full Monty plan, but in August 2012 they stopped supporting tethering.

Any suggestions?

It's in Post #1 on this thread (just updated) although they don't seem to be loaded into Syncreon's 1980s system yet

Thanks ! I thought I'd seen it somewhere, just wasn't sure where. :p

This is my first app pre-order and TBH its not very good of them to have promised informing when shipped and not tell till the third day after shipping.

Here's we go.

Your iPhone is the passenger.
Apple is the origin country.
Syncreon is the origin airport.
Your home is the destination airport.
You are the destination country.
UK Mail is the aeroplane.

:)
 
Why do I have two entries under "Track Shipment" in the drop down list and why do neither of the numbers (beginning 1ZW) work to track at UPS?

I did order the AppleCare too, but still, is something wrong here?
