If our phones are in the country we've got until 7pm for UPS to deliver. Fingers crossed guys. We was on a roll yesterday with them flying let's hope it's continued!
Got a tip for us?

UPS (Kentish Town Depot) being useless as always;
- Failed delivery yesterday as nobody rang the bell, just slipped the failed delivery note under the main entrance door to the apartment block.
- Use online system to request collection direct from depot next day.
- Arrive at depot this morning to be told they've just sent it out for delivery again this morning, so try back at the depot again at 6pm.
Not holding much hope for delivery before Monday, so yet another day off work. This is the last time I bother ordering online, London delivery companies always seem unreliable.
Oh, and the UPS guy at the depot said "System says 2 packages right?", so maybe I'll get lucky and they'll deliver two phones instead of one

That gold one is hard to get, I think they are digging the gold out of the ground as we speak!
AGAIN WITH CONTRACT ONLY!
Anyone else had that trouble? I just called up the store and was told we have stock but for contract only...

Just queued outside Cambridge apple store for the second day in a row, only 64gb space grey was available today
Does anyone know what the deal is with apple stores getting stock on weekends? What is the possibility of them having stock Saturday/Sunday/Monday... do they actually receive deliveries of any kind? I know queuing is a gamble anyway, but I just don't want to go and queue if it's certain that there can't be any. If anyone can share any past experience with this I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Depends if UPS have got enough vans, I doubt it so some routes will have a hire plain white van.
My tracking is exactly the same, however I have an 'import scan' for cologne at 3:17 am. Your phone should be in cologne too, but maybe it just hasn't updated yet.....
ups should show up at my work in the next hour, that being said..i dont think it will have my phone.
even if our phones left at 4:00-6:00 they wouldnt get delivered today. ups loads deliveries onto their trucks in the early hours (around 3:00-5:00am) so if our phones arrived later than 3am, forget about it.
they're probably in the uk right now and sorted to the different hubs, but a delivery today? nah. (that is unless it made the 1am flight from germany, which is unlikely at this point)
ups doesn't update regularly, but by now we would have an update on our trackingnumbers..

Belfast Victoria Square told me that yesterday too. No idea where it came from. Maybe they have giant stock out the back with 'contract only' written on it???

Only thing I can think if is that the ones they have ate configured like CPW to lock to a network. Pretty **** tbh...
Same Happened with me 2 days ago - the UPS tracking never ever showed out for delivery... Perhaps they just chucked them quickly from the arrival truck onto the delivery van, without all the usual scans and processes, in order to get them out quickly?!
