Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 18/10/2013 23:55 Arrival Scan

I dont know what time its moving on from there, to probably Dubai.. I'll be keeping an eye out :)

Mine was on the same plane :) would be funny if the next stop would be Dubai since I'm in Dubai for the weekend! Couldn't I then just give them a call that I'm going to pick it up here myself, just kidding ;)

Expected delivery this Wednesday, looking forward to it!
 
It so is ..happier now it will prob be on the day if not before:)

Happy Birthday for the 23rd then. Hope your phone does arrive that day. Mine is scheduled to be delivered Monday and I cant wait. What did you go for?

Anyone know how long they usually take to leave Germany? Phone has been there since midnight last night and still no departure.
 
If today is in HK and tomorrow 19th in Germany ...is it strange delivery date 23th by end of day ?

so many days ?

happy birthday for the 23rd macgrl

Thanks :)16gb silver. no idea about the Germany flights..as some of my posts suggest I have no idea about the routes and ttmes lol
 
64gb in gold... heres hoping!

That was all they had left at Trafford Centre when I got there on Wednesday night at half 5, despite being told at half 1 not to bother coming in if I was going to be longer than 10 minutes as they'd all be gone. Only called in to get a new case for the mrs so was a little bit shocked ha, good luck mate as you'll probably need it - scalpers out in full force at Trafford on a Saturday morning

Wonder what days they're getting deliveries. That was awesome you got one on the off chance. I did try to call this afternoon but ran out of time on my break at work and didnt want to waste a journey on the off, maybe I should have! Wonder how often they get deliveries. Can't be dealing with the scalpers :eek:
 
I can't see any flights from Hong Kong to Cologne tomorrow or 20th? Would this mean I have missed it on list or that phone is going to Dubai or somewhere else first?

17.40 on the 21st is the first flight to Cologne I can see :-(
 
I think the direct flights are monday to friday once a day.

I see so does that mean that it will wait until Monday to go direct of go via Dubai over the weekend...do they just wait for the direct so as to save the hassel of indirect?

You should really read previous pages of the thread and see how things went last week and week before :)

Things usually move over weekend, most usually go via dubai.

U will probably receive your phone on time or a day early.

I will do, thank you very much :)
 
Just a quick note for anyone interested:
I can confirm that unlocking an iPhone (bought from Three PAYG) without opening the box works without like a charm. :)
Used a normal Three SIM (activated in another phone) for the account registration and filled in the online form with the IMEI written on the box. The rest is the usual procedure.

Interredting. Thanks for info.
Did you actually test the phone?

I can't see a Hong Kong to Dubai flight though, hmmm.

Just checked and mine's in Germany now. You have the same Hong Kong departure scan & time as me.

It's been cleared by 'Clearing Agency' in Koeln, DE. It's now back in transit.
