UK iPhone 5 thread

[Spanners]

Still waiting...been checking the Sycreon tracking all day and nothing, then decided to try UKMAIL. The apple tracking number works on their site and tells me that it went out for delivery at 8.40am this morning....

Damn it! where is it?😕

 

[SayCheese]

Have just been and picked up my pre-ordered 32Gb Black from the 3 store in High Wycombe.
Only a short wait and really well organised.
Now to set it up.

Is anyone finding that their iPhone 5 is not holding connection to a 5Ghz wifi (dropping). Connecting to a time capsule?

I'd really think about asking in a new thread if I were you, your question is just going to get lost in this monster!

 

[Mr Verses]

Is that with their £25pm deal?

I pay like £85 a month. Two TiVos, 100mb Fibre (free upgrade to 120mb early next year), XXL package with all channels except the movies, and phone line. It's expensive, but the fibre service is robust and never had a problem with Virgin!! I was happy to switch from Sky.

Yay! UK Mail just delivered mine!!! I knew the delivery drivers name
And greeted him at the door, I said "hello Marcelo" the look on his face was
Priceless . I invited him in so he could see for himself that the tracking page lists his name as the person delivering the iPhone.

Been out for delivery with UK mail since 7am.
64GB white en route from O2, got a feeling it will be returning to them next week though!

EE hasn't enabled their 4G network yet, when thy do EE will offer speeds of up to 40Mbps 😀

Actually, I thought it was going to be capped at something silly like 13Mbps.

Hmmm could do. Whats the process for returning an online order? Do I have to pay for shipping?

My experience in the past is that Apple have always arranged a courier to collect, at no charge to me.

Just ring apple, they arrange collection at their cost. Refund within 5 days of receiving it back......I presume your talking about a apple.com order?

 

[ProfoundTactics]

Ahhh, been waiting since 9 a.m, getting impatient now!

UPS' 'tracking' is effectively useless... They might as well just say "Yeah, it'll turn up some time tomorrow. Probably"

Waiting for mine from UKMail - Ordered directly from Apple. CH63 and my girlfriend is waiting for her's at home, also from Apple CH60.

However, my friend has just got his, pre-ordered from o2 via DPD, CH63.

Anyone around Wirral/Liverpool go theirs yet from UKMail Runcorn? Apparently it went out for delivery at 6am! Anytime now I am thinking.

Still waiting for UK mail here in CH45

 

[Spanners]

UK Mail deliver up until 8pm.

I'm at work...I only plan staying until 6. I really will be pi$$ed if they rock up at 8pm

 

[Mr Verses]

Are you on the one plan or managing to tether on another package? Just asking as I signed up to the one plan for the tethering but thinking of downgrading if tethering is still possible on other plans, thanks.

I'm on The One Plan, apparently the free tethering is only on the One Plan 🙁

Just had a wee delivery!! so chuffed! now have to wait to restore from my iCloud backup!!

its so freaking light!!

 

[Hustle]

Unfortunately UK Mail are not unloading any missed deliveries tonight, they're leaving them on vans to try to redeliver tomorrow so there's no option to collect from their depot tonight (there's a special section on their web site with info about iPhone 5 deliveries)

Even if the driver does manage to get my correct address tomorrow, after 10:00am no one will be there. 😡

Just thought I'd let you know that UK Mail have confirmed that if you request that your iPhone does not go out again for delivery tomorrow by calling them today, they allow you to pickup your phone tomorrow.

Give them a call and stop tomorrows delivery and pick it up from the depot. 🙂

 

[toondw]

Seriously folks, if it says delivery up to 7pm why the hell are you complaining about it not being delivered by now? Calm down! 😉

 

[Psychbum]

Still waiting in walsall, UK mail!

 

[Scoobadood]

UPS DA13 Still no sign

Hmmm... 'spose I could do some work.

 

[ToniqR]

I've been lurking behind this thread since page 50, so decided to join in.

Anyone in the Bristol/South West area waiting on pre-orders from UK Mail?!
Still no sign of mine... I even tried calling the local depot at Severn Beach and as soon as the woman clocked I was on about an iPhone delivery she told me they weren't handing out ETAs, but it would arrive before 6pm.

Been up waiting since 8am! Haven't done anything productive at all...

Haha, I'm in exactly the same position as you! I'm just outside Bath near Keynsham, still no sign yet. I've literally done nothing all morning, other than staring out the window for a ukmail van to stop! It's not even that exciting as I live down a dead end lane in the middle of no where! 🙂

Exeter, still waiting!

Me too! UKMail no sign of them at all 🙁 - by the Uni
