I went several times to the Apple Store of Regent Street, but they don't have any iPhone 5S in stock :( I also checked in Covent Garden and Stratford, but always the same story.

Well you have obviously got there too late because these stores have received stock on and off over the past week. Heck I've managed to pick up both a 32GB gold and 32GB space grey from covent garden and regent street respectively on separate occasions for family members who missed out on launch day.

Try lining up in the morning.
 
Glad we were both on the same page mate....in fact my phone is now at my local depot RESULT!!!

So happy! The phones are on the move! What time was your stansted departure scan? And it looks like we never did get an arrival scan in Germany?
 
Yep mine was scanned at 7am as out for delivery from Dartford!

Ordered 00.03 on 20th, 64gb silver, when the estimates were 7-10 business days and 7-10 October delivery . Went to preparing for dispatch last Saturday (a day after the first batch) and went to dispatched early on Monday. Was then initially scheduled for 7 October delivery, that then went to 4th, and looks like I should be getting it today 3rd.
 
Just wondering if there'd be any chance we get them tomorrow. Been waiting since march for this phone to come out, stuck using an iphone 4 with broken lock button and dodgy home button. It's so frustrating to use. Haha

Edit: we're on the same flight too!

Mine went from hong kong to anchorage then to cologne
 
Isn't it a 12 hour 26 minute wait?
It depends whether you are using one of two parcel tracking apps, one method of viewing the UPS website, or a different method. The only one of those four that specifies a 12 hour clock with am/pm did look like 12 hours. However that timing isn't even possible, so I discount that as being a bug converting times.
 
I ordered about half-past midnight on pre-order day.

It was originally down as coming next week, then I got to the UPS tracking page and it said this Friday.
Just checked this morning and it's in London and "Out for Delivery" today. Result!

Looks like mine will be delivered Monday according to UPS "Before end of day"

On the same flight too

Could anyone know the flight number for our parcels or even better to get flightradar24.com link please? ;)
 
Just passed Regent Street and there is a queue of around 50-100 people.

Available stock:
Space Grey 16,32,64GB
Silver 16GB
No gold.
 
I'm now considering cancellation. Still in Processing, despite being ordered before many here who already have their phones. I was even prepared to change colour, but my Apple Rep said that would simply start the process over again....what process? Nothing has ever happened, and I can't do without a phone any longer.:mad:

I got top money for my 5, so I guess I could buy a decent secondhand 64GB, but that's kind of nuts...:) Looking around for something else that can at least be made to work with my all Apple ecosystem isn't easy though.

Some stock at least. Looks like gold is gonna be out of stores for a good few weeks as online orders take precedent.

Shame for a couple of people I waited with at the Arndale a few times - they were only wanting Gold and were are in London for a few days so were going to try Regent St. early to get them.

My 32/Silver '3' PAYG order from yesterday is on a DPD van so it's wait time.

My order is an identical place, so we appear to be on the same plane/pallet/whatever.

I'm still a bit peeved that I'm getting it after some people who ordered after me, but oh well, I suppose.
 
Progress of my gold 64gb - still on track for Monday delivery!

I ordered mine at 12:01 got the conformation email at 12:08. Looks like our phones will arrive on Monday (thats what UPS have for me on their tracking page). I hope that this is accurate tho, because i have to arrange for someone to be home as i will be at uni.
 
Hard to say, if they even come via cologne. Mine left hong kong at 12:01 local time, so i assume they made the dubai flight at 11:40 (4:40 uk time).. It takes about 12 hours from hong kong to cologne,germany..

The flight at 11:40, goes to Dubai and then on to Philadelphia. So if it's on this flight, it's going the long way round! :p
