Raging - I ordered mine 5mins after it went live!! 8.05 I got the confirmation email!!!!!

All week, It has said delivery date 21st

Once I got my UPS tracking number it's changed to 24th Sep;!!!

Raging! :mad:

Why on earth! I was in on the 5th minute!!

I'm in the same boat. Northern Ireland here.. Geezz like we're the other side of the world or what?.. Really ****ed off.... Just processed this morning, so why for the (as they probably call them, outlaying areas) cant they process ours a day earlier! To make sure we also get it on launch day... We're paying through the nose for this phone, over 500 quid!

Now i have to wait all weekend until Monday.. I'll never pre-order online again :(

I live in zone 2 up in the north of Scotland. I preordered from Apple but won't get mine until 24th. UPS tracking says so. So spare a thought for us. You would have thought Apple would have just sent ours via Royal Mail Special Delivery. It would be here by tomorrow surely. Enjoy your phones.

I'm in Zone 1 in northern Ireland. Specifically, Belfast.

I got order confirmation at 8.05am on release day and I'm in zone 1 ... so I'm quite disappointed that UPS and now Apple says im not getting it till Monday ... confused and disappointed.
 
Got my email earlier from 3 with tracking info on. Status has now changed, saying its at their sorting office. Looks promising for delivery tomorrow :D

Interesting, I've not had any notification from them apart from the original confirmation email as soon as I pre-order last Friday morning. Hopefully it's Royal Mail that deliver mine, that would explain the lack of contact...

@OrangeHelpers Does your courier have the iphones now, ready to be delivered on Friday?
Orange Helpers UK ‏@OrangeHelpers
Yes they do. ^andy
 
Just downloaded this from the UK Mail website to give people a bit more information on their delivery (not everyone will find it useful but thought i would post it anyway)

Hey, for those being delivered by Syncreon/UKMail, you can type in your reference number from apple on the ukmail website and you get basic details there. If you get your consignment number from ukmail once in, you can put it in the advanced tracker here http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_quickpod.html and get more in depth information.

Thanks for that, just done it. When I click on 'More Info' it states it's been collected. But the UK Mail tracking still states 'Awaiting Collection'. Odd.

I'm not 100% chuffed it's coming with UK Mail though to be honest, I used to work for my local depot and I know how they treat the parcels sometimes!
 
Had another dispatch email for the lightning cables. They were given a date of October originally. Should get them tomorrow.

Now is this scary or what. I was just reading this and thought when are 3 going to phone me ha then my phone rang haha it was them :).Same above getting mine tomorrow been booked in at 10.20 :) think i might walk by the apple store and show it off :p

3 haven't phoned me. I'll be pretty perturbed if they "guaranteed" me the phone in order to sell a contract. I'll be turning up at 8am just to make sure I get one.

Just throw in my 2 pence. Just got off of the phone to 3. They couldn't give me any information except telling me over and over that I'll get a text tomorrow. Slightly disconcerting. What number did other people use? Not that it really matters I suppose. He said to ring again tomorrow morning to be given a consignment number.

Try this number 0844 338 0330 then select option 2 and if u get through ask if you can get a tracking number for your iphone 5 preorder.

I just did it and they confirmed my details and gave it to me ;)

think you maybe correct, someone just asked the same question on twitter.

@OrangeHelpers If I don't receive a text by this evening to confirm iPhone delivery - does that mean, it DEFINITELY won't be here tomorrow?
Orange Helpers UK ‏@OrangeHelpers
No. we are also using Royal Mail SD to help with deliveries. ^Andy

Sorry but work and home all I have received from CL has been "outrageous" service over the years. Not a personal attack but just my experience.

Gotta agree, S***yLink is what I call them too :D .... I avoid them at all costs.... Nothing but bad service and agrovation from them.

If a web store advertises that they use them I always ask them if there is an alternative.... If not I have been known on many occasions to shop elsewhere!
