Nice, who did you call, 07973 100 150 said they couldn't help with web orders
An hour to go before i leave work, hope UPS can deliver in that time or i wont see it till monday
Your local depot might try again on Saturday, I know that my depot (Sedgefield, Co.Durham) are going to be sending iPhones out for delivery on the Saturday and will also be letting people collect them directly from us so don't lose hope!

Anyone got any ideas about how to stop my phone changing networks from "T-Mobile" to "T-Mobile-Orange"???
Y'know, if there's one thing I wish Apple would bring over to the UK from their US operation it's properly syncing up the online and in-store businesses.
My iPhone got here about an hour ago. Opened it up and immediately noticed a rattling from inside the case, as if the battery isn't glued down. Somehow managed to get a genius bar appointment booked for tomorrow (don't ask how, utter fluke I think) and then remembered the trouble I had with my last iMac...
For those that don't know, on-line purchases can be looked at and repaired in store but not refunded and replacements are often a bit tricky to get through. A few phone calls to Apple and they confirmed the retail store is unlikely to be able to help and I should really return it via the on-line store. This is a major problem for me as I can't take time off in the next few weeks to wait at home and couriers can NEVER find my office (seriously, not one in three years has made it without being guided in on the phone). After further discussions with Apple (who I have to say are being incredibly patient and friendly considering the load they've gotta be under today) I am indeed going to my genius appointment... but mainly so the store can raise the return and handle the delivery bit for me. Oy.
Annoying thing is it's a great looking device and feels wonderful. Mine was scuff free too, doubly annoying! Ah well, will get a refund for now and pick one up once the stores have stock again in a month or two.

My problem is that UPS must have known that I wouldnt receive the parcel up until now. Why didnt they change the time on the tracking page. Ive wasted a whole day stuck at home. Useless company.
Yeah, in the centre of Purley. I just hope he doesn't get stuck in traffic now...I finish work in an hour!

What do you mean by the time on the tracking page??
I think Orange have finally got their act together and are emailing and texting people. Get mine tomorrow, wish I'd gone with white but hey ho it's only a phone.....
Ps I've watched and commented in this thread since the beginning..I wonder how much data ive used up on this thread

The tracking page on UPS's website says I should get the phone between 9am-7pm. Surely they could be a bit more specific. Complete waste of a day. They could have said after 4pm and Id have been happy.

Yeah, mine just says "by end of day"
Well that's not really UPS's fault, Apple/You paid for "Standard - End of Business Day Delivery" and it's their job to meet that service..... If you wanted a specific timed slot then maybe you should have paid for one?? Have you contacted your local depot to see if they can give you an idea when the driver is going to be delivering in your area?

UPS Delivery at DA13
800 from the depot this morning in total.
Now I have to go and collect the missus form the station before I can open it! Yargh!
