Woohoo Poland! I'm also in Cambridgeshire so if it comes direct to Stansted I'll be happy
Hi , Cambridgeshire here too.
If they get them out on the road tomorrow & they drop yours off first , could you please hold back with the biscuit , drink & hospitality. I want them straight back out on the road !!
Cheers
Im in somerset so hoping for tomorrow as well, gonna wait up and see if we get an arrival scan within the next couple of hours. Heres hoping!!!

Dont think we'll see any movement tonight now though, reckon Thursday

Same here, and now the phone left Castle Donington at 5.15am. Looks like we will get a delivery today
Quick question to who ever ordered his/her iPhone.
How exact is the delivery time from the Apple website. I ordered my iPhones on the 25th of October and i now have a delivery date between 12 and 18 November, not a problem at all, but is there a chance that they will get delivered earlier than that?
Ordered 2 Gold 32GB versions (unlocked)
I'm just curious if someone got a 2-3 weeks delivery time and actually get them delivered earlier.

I ordered on the 13th 64gb gold and hoping to see preparing for shipment sometime before Sunday. At the time it was 2-3 weeks and this Sunday will be the 3 week mark. Just been looking over the forums and annoyingly US orders after mine have been shipped
This is my experience.
I ordered my Gold 32GB on 9th October. I was immediately told 2-3 weeks for despatch.
So not wishing to get my hopes up I basically told myself from the start I wouldn't see it till sometime the start of November.
I kept checking my account & for about a week , maybe more , it said Processing.
The status then changed to Preparing for dispatch. It stayed at this stage for a few days , until it changed to dispatch last Friday. This is when you can log into UPS & track the movement.
From preparing to dispatch , I was given a 4th November delivery date. The Apple & UPS site still say this , although it did change to estimated last week.
As I've posted , my phone is on a van somewhere now between Northampton & here in Cambridgeshire.
So for me , if I receive today mine will be about 5 days earlier than they estimated.
The wording to look out for is Preparing for dispatch. For me this is when things started to move nice & quickly.
I currently have an iphone 5 which is a great phone , so even though I'm very excited for this new Gold 5s , I've been able to shut my mind off & just play the crazy Apple waiting game.
Be patient & stick with it bud.
Cheers
Thanks mate, i ordered on launch day here in the Netherlands so i'm hoping im with the 1st or 2nd wave of deliveries, my 4 is still going strong so i'm not sitting on hot coals, but still the upgrade is nice and can't wait to have em here.
Anyone had their phone delivered this morning? Mine is out for delivery from Exeter and i'm only 50 miles from there so not long now!

I'm in the same boat (well, nearly - I ordered on the 15th October). Really was expecting to see some movement by now as US orders seem to be shipping earlier, but nothing as yet. Been hovering over the 'Cancel' button recently as realising my iPhone 5 is fine and getting bored of waiting!
Ordered mine on the 5th oct and went to preparing for dispatch last Friday and is out for delivery today so once things move they move quickly and actual delivery date is 4th nov so your very likely to have it before the estimate apple give.
Still waiting for mine and I am only 3 or 4 miles from the depotAnyone had their phone delivered this morning? Mine is out for delivery from Exeter and i'm only 50 miles from there so not long now!
. Guess it depends on whether you are on the way out or way back in for the driver, 50 miles sounds like it might be midway along a route and it's nearly midday...good luck!As an aside, UPS isn't a patch on DPD for delivery info. I was waiting for one of theirs deliveries last week, texted an hour long timeslot at 6am that morning. I was then able to see that I was drop 51 of 57 and track the driver on a map with the time due updated to "next 30/15 minutes" as he progressed. Ultimately, I knew when he was just around the corner doing drop 50, so knew exactly when he would arrive. Superb.
Thanks for letting me know, I'm going to remain patient till the weekend and see if it's moved before considering canceling! (at which point I may have spent a small fortune on a new iPad Air!)
Damn the Apple-lust

I ordered 16gb gold on 28th September, finally expecting a delivery today. It does seem most movement begins at the weekend, so hopefully you will see some positive update from Friday onwards.
Mine went to processing on Friday last week and was dispatched on Saturday, it then took in the sights of Zheng Zhou and Incheon for 3 frustrating days before racing from Korea to East Midlands airport in the space of 24 hours.
