i think Isle of Man is in the light blue area of the delivery map dude, did you see the map?

My delivery apparently isn't to Monday and I just got 2 updates from the 'Parcels' app to say it had left Tamworth and that it was signed into Castle Donington!

Anybody any ideas what is near there or if it can be flown over night from there to NI? I think Birmingham is near there but I can't remember lol

East Midlands airport they fly them into Belfast from there

Mine is in the Croydon UKMail depot and I live like 15 mins away, so close yet so far!
Just hope it's delivered while I'm in.

East Midlands airport, a big cargo airport.

Is that a pay and go nano sim, I got one today also free, but not sure
if it will work as a pay and go sim? will it ? I think it is a contract sim the guy give to me

mine is a nano sim on contract to replace my current micro sim. I'm currently on a sim only deal.

No idea if yours will work on PAYG. Best just contact them and ask.

 

[Stephenn]

Mine hasn't left at tamworth yet. Ahah.

Happy days so still a good chance of getting it tomorrow and the 24th is just a precaution. Fingers crossed anyways but have already resigned myself to Monday

Hey akjs2396

I'm from the Isle of Man too and ordered at 8:01am, I have 3 iPhones on order (2 on 1 card, 1 on another) and just wondering what courier yours is coming through. As I cant seem to get info via UKMail or UPS :S

Seems very odd.

Thanks

Your new phone is with our driver and will be delivered today (between 8am & 8pm), please ensure an adult is at the property to sign for your phone as we
cannot deliver it without the signature of someone over 18.

 

[duction]

thanks!

 

[owenmeredith]

Apparently it's in Birmingham at the moment though!

Mine's there too apparently! At least they're not on their own together, ha.

Hi

On the UKmail site mine just says "at delivery location" doesn't say where that is.

Alex

 

[Beanoir]

you guys don't half put yourselves through the pain.

I'm not going to start tracking mine until the front door bell rings tomorrow!

Here is a pdf from UKMail outlining the delivery process, some of you have been asking about some of the things outlined in the document.

O2 Shop iPhone 5 Availability

If anyone is still desperately seeking an iPhone, just got this email showing local availability. Here's the link:

http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone/stock

Near me they seem to have everything

 

[thunderstorm]

Does UPS tell you when it's in transit between places?

 

[daneoni]

Mine has finally bid adieu to frickin' Tamworth.

Anyone still thinking of queuing in London tomorrow for an iPhone 5 shouldn't be put off by those saying you're "probably too late". During the iPhone 4 launch, the Regent Street store served every single customer that walked through its doors for the iPhone 4 on launch day. Those who didn't make it through the doors (due to the store closing at 10pm) were given a reservation card so that they could re-take their place in the queue next day.

By mid-Saturday all of the phones had gone. However the average queue time was 4-6 hours, so technically anyone queuing before 2pm on launch day, definitely got a phone that day.

Of course, the demand for the 4 was less than the demand for the 5, but I would also suggest the quantity of units is higher this time around. Also remember that Covent Garden wasn't open then, so the Regent Street store took the brunt of Apple fans queueing (with small numbers at Brent Cross and Westfield White City).

I'm not suggesting you'll be guaranteed one tomorrow if you get there before 2pm, but I would strongly suggest anyone getting there by opening tomorrow will walk out with an iPhone 5 (Perhaps not a 16GB so be prepared). But again, be prepared for an exceptionally long wait.

The above information was given to me by my brother in-law who was a Genius in Regent Street (and now Covent Garden). No guarantees, but hopefully some small assurance for those of you thinking you already should have started queuing.

SUCKS TO BE YOU TAMWORTH!
(see you again same time next year)

 

[owenmeredith]

Mine actually just got scanned in at Cardiff 10 minutes ago - IT MOVED CLOSER!

 

[AppleCallum]

Mine from 3 is in Birmingham.

Which is ironic as I live next to UPS Tamworth where there has been a convoy of lorries today!
