Been tracking my package too and got the same details as you guys...wish it could be tomorrow instead of Monday!!!

 

[andrew1995]

Yep. And at 14:50 we can track them on the next leg to Koln, presumably. Except my battery will probably be flat before too long

Do you think there's chance we'll receive our phones tomorrow?

 

[Be3G]

Excellent. Glad my earlier quandary about the departure scan time being after the flight's departure from Hong Kong really was unfounded!

Do you think there's chance we'll receive our phones tomorrow?

I would be a giddy school boy if we did.

I suppose there is a chance if the flights line up enough to get them overnight to the UK. I would think it would be passing customs that could cause any hold up otherwise.

 

[andrew1995]

I know same! I think there is a possibility they could arrive early.

Same here :-D

Same for me! Flight UPS003 (53X) from Dubai to Cologne due to depart 5:50pm Dubai Time (2:50pm UK time.) Flight length is 6 hours, so should get to Germany about Midnight UK time tonight. Anyone got any info about onward flight connections from Cologne to the UK?

Oh just found flight 5X236 from Cologne to Stanstead every day at about 1:30am... is there a chance we could make it!?!!

Dubai, United Arab Emirates 03/10/2013 15:43 Arrival Scan

Our phones are on that flight then!
Good spot!

Seeing as people have worked out it should be in cologne by 21:30 tonight, what are the chances of delivery tomorrow?

 

[int79]

My phone has been out for delivery since this morning and it's still not here, what's going on? Is there still time, I've never had UPS deliver later than lunchtime :/

 

[gadget123]

12 day wait it's a poor show by Apple..I must have ordered hours after others not days and people can't even get an estimated date.

They can deliver anytime up to 7pm

 

[wizzywig27]

Mine is also on the flight, possibilty it could be out tomorrow, but I am setting my mind for Monday, that way if it is out for delivery tomorrow I will be very excited

if there really is a flight to stansted at 1:30 it could happen, because germany is an hour ahead of us and the flight only takes about an hour. so it would get to stansted around 1:30-1:45 am.

I don't mean to be an arse as I know how frustrating it is to be waiting, but your date was simply 'October'. As has already been pointed out a number of times, people who had a delivery window of 7th-10th and 8th-11th are still waiting for their phones, we aren't even at those dates yet either.

While you may not have ordered that late afterwards, bare in mind just how many thousands of people placed orders before you did. The date of just 'October' happened very early the following morning.

'Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later'

This is on the app for Apple store and online maybe they are updating peoples orders..

Maybe just maybe??

Most of them are at 'dispatched' so they know it will arrive by next week.

To be given October could be the end of the month, obviously it shouldn't be but really last year they did 2-3 week windows 3-4 weeks for new orders placed about now. This made it more like a queue but right now everybody is being fobbed off by October people ordering now may hope to get it soon but there's no chance.

Oh yeah... Fingers Crossed!

 

[andrew1995]

Oh yeah... Fingers Crossed!

Could this mean we'll get them sooner than we think I.e. Tomorrow?

 

[Kiretas]

Most of them are at 'dispatched' so they know it will arrive by next week.

And you know most are how?
You have spoken to everyone who ordered one?

Its quite clear they are working their way through them as quick as they can, which is why orders from that range are continuing to ship.

It demonstrates just how in demand the phone is and how they are trying to produce as many of them as possible for online, instore and to networks as quickly as they can. Remember that they have already announced this launch has broken records for sales.

The fact there isn't a date clearly shows just how many orders there are because they can't yet give you an estimation. It's no good them saying 2-3 weeks if that isn't the case. Given that they tend to have such dates, I think its an indicator that its quite a long wait and may be towards the end of the month.

Last year with the 5 when the site went down I'm sure lots of us started to get a dispatched date through out the day.

One has to wonder if it's not are they producing enough, they probably are just the networks are holding stock back.

Plus with the 5C and Gold model I suspect there may be more Iphones around just less of the same model due to different variations. Clearly they couldn't expect Gold to be as popular but it is.

I was crazy, I ordered mine on 21st but cancelled 25th and then placed a new order just because I put my bank information wrongly on 21st.

Looking at others' phones flying to them, and mine still processing, I.......

 

[gadget123]

Site is back up and guess what STILL processing.
