Carphone warehouse now have the 5S available for in store pick up is it worth cancelling my order? How long does it take to cancel? I take it they don't change you until it's dispatched?

My 64GB space grey is still processing too.
Ordered mine just after being told that there were none left after all the bastard scalpers had blitzed them all at the Oracle Reading on launch day.
Got the order confirmation at 07:15 on the 20th...
Dispatched: 7- 10 business days ; Delivery: 08 Oct, 2013 - 11 Oct, 2013
I ordered a 5S 64GB in Gold at 00:03 - and I'm still on 'processing items'
Why are people that have ordered after me receiving their phones?
Me too:

28/09/2013 17:15 Origin Scan
China 28/09/2013 23:07 Order Processed: Ready for UPS
The tracking number they give is just a reference, so put that number in the "Track by Reference" field in the link below:
From there you can get the actual tracking number.

Doesn't make sense, looks like people who ordered later will be getting their phones about a week before!
Sign inside Bullring saying no phones.
Wondering whether it is worth waiting until they open or not?

I think the UPS tracking is misleading some to think that their phone comes on an individual package carried by UPS straight from factory just like any other parcel.
Unfortunately that's not possible these days, from Jan 1 2013 all electronics with Lithium batteries have strict air shipping regulations, especially in the quantities of the iPhone. These regulations came following the devastating UPS Flight 6 plane crash, which was determined to have been caused by a lithium fire in the cargo.
They must be packaged together in special boxes that ensures greater clearance than normal parcels. Also they're considered HazMat and must be handed as a special case.
Probably why we're seeing delays/warehousing while the shipper consolidates the cargo. They might even need to be carried by truck inside Europe if the smaller planes lack capacity to segregate these shipments and/or the right fire extinguishing equipment.
Another big restriction is that shipments with lithium batteries can't fly on the cargo hold of passenger aircraft, which is typical for shipments in the EU.

I've been to white city, regent st and covent garden. The only place that had them was covent garden and only 16gb grey. Even though I was told on Saturday they wouldn't be receiving any until Tuesday.
Every line was full of scalpers pushing in and being generally rude.
I've just seen a guy pick up 2 64GB grey so the Apple staff member lied when she said they only had 16GB

Starting to lose interest too. Thinking of just saving my £709 and keep my current iphone!
I'm not, I sold my iPhone 5 and am rocking a POS Windows phone.
To say I'm excited for this to be delivered is an understatement
