Ironically the case i ordered on Launch day from Japan has arrived in the UK...

Yet still waiting on dispatch info from the amazingly brilliant awful network o2, ordered at 0801 on the 20th

Probably need to just watch the UPS tracking page now..

It already shows arrival in Cologne (Koeln).
 
It'll likely be a different aircraft.
Cologne is a major hub for UPS, so probably difficult to know which flight out is 'ours'. On saying that, I don't know the frequency of Cologne->East Midlands flights..

They also fly to the hub at Stansted so it could go there.
 
This is where the wait gets tedious. If they are true to my previous experience, the phones will stay in Cologne until Tuesday now. Flit over the channel/north sea on Tuesday afternoon and be with you Wednesday.

Almost close enough to go and fetch now ;-)

Only 8.5hr drive for me - could be there and back by lunch tomorrow;)

Hey just spotted this flight to east midlands airport http://www.flightradar24.com/UPS237 last year there was something similar to this flight and as soon as it landed my order shipped and I only had tracking data from east midlands onwards, my theory is only the very first batch get tracking data starting from china and everyone that is in the preparing stage at the moment will move to shipped as soon as this flight lands. This is what has happened to me previously as I've never been in the first batch :( always second or third and my tracking data has started at the UPS hub in east midlands after a flight lands there, what do ya think?

Hmm the link broke, try this: http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS237

My 32gb gold still stuck on processing. Has anyone else had a status change on a 32gb gold yet?

Still nothing on the 32/64 Golds (and some Silvers). I'm sure we will all know the second they do start moving. They are clearly being built, lets just hope they are ready by Monday.

You ordered 32(/64) gold and are preparing for shipping?:O..

I'm still just processing. Got the email 00:20..
 
When the phones arrive in UK do they stay with UPS to delivery? And is there still a tracking facility so we know when it's at a local depot?
