Money from P4U hasn't left my account yet. Paid by debit.
Will speak to my bank first thing tomorrow morning and see what they can do.

What colour? I've just ordered red and paid extra for carrier as wanted it hear by Fri.
I'd like to use EE as they have better coverage for where I live + my commute. Problem is three.co.uk gives me free roaming in the US - and I travel there for work 3-4 times a year. Until EE can match that I guess I'm stuck with three
I ordered a leather 6+ in red and a leather 6 in blue and both just shipped
Inserting hearing people saying this about EE. For me I am desperate to move away from them, poor signal where I am, not to mention complete disregard for loyal customers with their terrible upgrade pricing for me.
I guess it just shows that it reall really matters where you are, though almost all of my friends who are on Three have nothing but good things to say abitu them here in Wiltshire, and regarding 4G. When I was in London with my dad and was using his iPad on Three's 4G network I had no issues at all until we were out of aerial range.
Are there any Three to other carrier converts or EE to other carrier converts here and why?

Great. Couldn't decide on red or the blue for my 6. Did you have the 5S leather version? I had the red on my gold 5S, and worried it will get dirty again.
I've ordered online, what are Apple like for returns for the case if it's dirty? Swapped a red once in a tore where I bought it from
Went from O2 to 3 about 2 years ago, was temporarily on EE for about 2 months when I had a problem with my phone and needed a normal EE sim and hated it. EE for my area is dreadful whilst 3 is great, unlimited internet, and no issues with customer service at all.
I ordered blue and just paid for standard delivery estimated 18th so can't complain.
While three gives free data/voice/text roaming in the USA and other countries (EE only offers this to EU countries) I'll be sticking with three.
Just moved to EE yesterday from O2, was on a SIM only 1 month rolling with O2, £25/month unltd texts and mins and 5GB 4G Data, however O2 don't offer 4G in Norwich, so switched to the same with EE, but for £21.99 a month and 4GB instead and I get 4G all over my house and I'm 5 miles from the centre of Norwich so I'm pretty happy with that. Number ports over Tuesday and EE provide Visual Voicemail unlike Three which was a thing I really need for work purposes.
No, that's Applecare which Apple have discontinued.
They now only offer Applecare+ which is Applecare but with accidental damage coverage (like insurance)
From the date you receive your iPhone, you have 60 days to purchase Applecare+. After that period, you cannot buy Applecare+ or extend your Apple warranty at all.
You can use your EU rights to make a claim under warranty for 2 years though.
I am currently on EE (3G only) with a SIM only deal but lately the EE 3G has been crappy round my way (Kent / SE London). So tomorrow I am going to call EE tell them I'm ending the contract (it's been 12 months), and get my PAC code. Then I will go to a Three shop and get their SIM only deal of unlimited 4G data (including tethering), unlimited texts and 600 minsfor £18 per month, and get my current number ported over to Three. Hope to have this all sorted by Friday!
The worst case scenario for people who ordered with Phones4U? Probably have to wait for your money back, and wait longer for the iPhone.
I feel a lot more sorry for the thousands of people who may loose their jobs!

Hey guys! Does anyone know what time the delivery process will start on 19/9? What time normally the couriers starts in the UK?
8am until 8pm i'd guess.
Yup me - sorry
64GB slate grey 6 plus - got confirmation email at 8.09am and it's due to come Friday. I got very lucky though! Realised app wasn't working so hopped to website before other people realised I think?!
Last year the website would't work and the app was definitely the way to go!
Managed to get a 64GB 6 direct from Apple so instead of taking out my usual 2 year contract, I was in virgin SIM only territory.
When I requested a PAC code from Orange they offered me a "Super Sim" which was £19 per month for 2000 mins, unlimited texts and 5GB data. The hook for me was 6 months half price on a 12 month deal.
Great for me as 3G & 4G is scarce in North Wales but EE reception is always spot on.

Generally after 9am for non business deliveries (some couriers actually offer a more expensive before 9am delivery to business customers). Could be up to to 9pm or even later if they are really busy.
Just a heads up to those who are without a preorder but still want it at launch.
EE's online inventory is different to their store inventory. We went to the store today to take out a contract for the iPhone 6 with the expectation of having to wait for stock post launch. However to our surprise we were told that they still had inventory available for friday.
For point of reference, the EE store was Stockport, and they had only taken 60 pre-orders since friday. I have no doubt the likes of the Manchester centre and Trafford Centre stores have probably reached their launch stock limit, but the smaller EE stores in crappy town centres may still have some in.
Managed to get 20gb data, unlimited minutes and texts, with the iPhone 6 16gb handset price of £100 at £38.99 a month, then a £6 per month share sim only plan bolt on. I think this was an upgrade and discounted price offered to us though, we've been with Tmobile/EE for around 15 years now and the person taking the lead contract had been due an upgrade for a long time but not taken up the option.
----------
Converting from 3 onto EE. 3 signal is adequate at best; It's tolerable for the price of their contracts and perhaps a trade off for some to have unlimited 4g data however don't strong fast signal, or signal at all, when you enter a places like the Trafford Centre or Tescos et al. The frequency some of their 3g spectrum runs at is notorious for not being great at penetration (lol).
Their 4g network, whilst free of charge, is still very weak compared to EE too. I often rarely get it despite being in areas advertised as 'strong signal' (i.e. Manchester city centre), and when I do its only 3mbps faster than 3g. A minor gripe too is that the signal constantly changes from 4g to 3g and vice versa, and for some apps which I may be using which needs a continuous connection, it will always disconnect as it changes between the two masts.
