arrgghh no idea which company is delivering mine all it says is syncreon parcel delivery and that it's out for delivery, ukmail website is down so I can't try that. Wish they'd hurry up I've got things to do, my friend up the road who ordered from 3 has his an hour ago
Out for delivery with ETA of 2:30 to 3:30PM. At least that will stop me looking out of the window for the DPD van all morning.....
If I phone up my local Apple Store, will they tell me stock levels? and any chance that they'll put aside an iPhone for me? (talking about in the next few days not today btw)
My order status says dispatched 2-8 Oct so I'm thinking I'll just go and buy one if I can and cancel my order.
I'd usually wait, but my current phone is getting worse and worse, frequently refusing to send texts
Any advice from anyone regarding cancelling an order and buying in store?
As a recent Apple Store leaver I can tell you they won't share stock levels with you nor will they put one aside. Most stores are getting enough phones to get them through the weekend I hear so joining the queue - even after it's died down a bit - is not a bad idea I reckon.
Phones4u have done what they promised....

Right.
You'd have thought you would've had it by now wouldn't you?
What with London being such a small place and all.
I had this a couple of years ago when I received my iPhone 4. In my case it was DPD, but Im sure other couriers do the same. They hire individuals to help with their work load. I had two lovely OAPs turn up at 10PM with my iPhone 4 in a little old rusty car jam packed with parcels.
Slightly concerning and confused me at the time as well!
NW London here. Nothing from UPS yet. I've had a few things from UPS recently and they have always arrived between 3pm -4.30pm
Awesome! So would you recommend trying to buy one from the store before cancelling the order? Any risks to this or are order cancellations usually pretty painless?
I'm not sure, don't want to lose all my save data in my apps, but I would prefer a clean filesystem
Not sure if this has been posted, but those getting their phones delivered by UK Mail, this link has some information:

Nice to know they will automatically re-deliver on Saturday if you miss it!

Got my Vodafone text and email this morning stating the phone is available for collection from my local store.
Guess I'll go get that at some point then

I'd say go to the store and get one before you cancel but ONLY if you can afford to pay for two iPhones the now. There's no saying how long it takes banks to get the money back into your account after the cancellation happens.
