Just keep checking the stores like me, might get lucky like Aidy06, he picked one up from trafford Center today, and just cancel the online one! Because a month is just too much for a phone!!

Only thing with that is they have now authorised my debit card so the money is being held. Might try the Trafford if the money comes back because they've not charged me. I'm just impatient with mail order, always express where I can ha!
 
I'm in the same boat, if you do cancel it, won't the money come straight in the account or will you have to wait for the money?

I did ask an apple guy over the phone but he was not too sure!

No because it's an authorisation they have to cancel the auth or wait for it to come back in to your account automatically. Think the time depends in your bank account. If they take too long to ship could end up coming back anyways. Will see what happens.
 
Seriously? I live 20 min from there.. Tempted to get a 16gb gold from the store tomorrow then cancel my online order which doesn't plan on getting to me until next month..
That's what was said to me over the phone today, though several hours have passed since then so they may have sold out but give them a call before you head down and find out.

Being 20 mins a way you are down Hook/Hartney Witney way or Andover and Newbury? :cool:

I didn't query the Silver so they MAY have some of those in too but I can't be sure.
 
OR have two faulty phones (aka me and scottish).

So yeah, shhh.

Just out of interest, is that a full RETAIL replacement, or just a new phone?

I am thinking the latter as I am pretty sure all new phones are still shipping from China and not the UK yet.

----------

My replacement is now 'Preparing for Dispatch' by the way, with (estimated) Delivery: 24 Oct, 2013 - 28 Oct, 2013

No it was a full replacement, ie brand new box with everything and the box was shrink wrapped too
It's a week 40, they must have a very small secret stash, because up until Monday they were saying id get it between 18 and 22

That's the tracking on my delivery which was dispatched from UK.
My order status went from "processing" to "preparing to dispatch" yesterday morning. It dispatched last night and was with me this morning before 9. Interesting how they rushed my replacement through finally.

I had a follow up call today from the Online Executive (who had my forwarded email to Tim Cook). He was very apologetic and he also said he would put a £35 credit on my account. Does anyone know where I can actually see a credit like this on my account, as I can't seem to find it.

I'm just happy it's finally all sorted.

Nice.

Think I'll fire an email off to Tim too.

Lucky for me they hadn't charged my card yet but I had ordered it using my credit card and bought the one yesterday using my debit card just incase they had put a hold on my credit card, I cancelled it in store as soon as she brought my phone from the back ha, I'd try Trafford today mate if possible depending on what you want. I rang at half 1 and they said they had only 64GB left in gold, she said if I wasn't going to be there in 10 minutes then forget it as they'll be gone. Finished work at 4 and went to the Trafford Centre with the mrs as she wanted to buy some stuff, said she wanted a new case and I just said I take it all the gold stock has gone? The lady I asked said there's still some 64GB left so I bought it there and then even though this was half 5 and at half 1 they said they didn't have many so not to bother ha

Keep trying mate, the stock seems to coming in thick and fast now. Trafford said they'd had a huge delivery yesterday, I expect they'll be getting more in this week sometime. I wasn't prepared to wait nearly 6 weeks from order to delivery, that's just ridiculous
 
anyone with shipping at 18 october has any movement going today????
Ordered a 5s 64GB on 09/10 and was given a ship date of 18/10 and delivery date of 25/10. It actually shipped 16/10 and delivery date initially changed to 23/10 but has now been changed to 21/10.
