UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Mine starts with a 309. How have you managed to track it? Can't seem to find where you can see it online, :/
I can only remember UKMail delivering my Apple stuff. Got UPS this time! I usually get launch day items at around 11am, so hopefully UPS will be fairly early too.
Just called EE (for the second time since my pre order), as I was starting to get a little frustrated that people who had ordered a few days after me were getting confirmed Friday delivery.
I was put through to a very nice person this time, she completely understood why I was calling and didn't get annoyed with me at all. I mentioned the early time that I ordered my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Grey and was told that it will definitely be here on Friday, she said it was currently being picked and processed and will be dispatched with DPD tomorrow. She even re-emailed my confirmation so that it says the correct delivery date rather than the 17th October that it said before. I mentioned to her that people on Twitter were saying that they had ordered after me and received different texts, she put that down to there systems crashing on the Friday and reiterated that there shouldn't be any reason for the early callers not to get their iPhones!
Phew... sorry for the essay, but I thought I would let those of us in the same situation know that we (hopefully) don't need to worry.
Fingers crossed, but I have my doubts. I ordered same model as you, at 10 with them on Friday morning. I got the 21 day text. Been communicating with a chap on twitter who also ordered the same model the day after mine and he has a this Friday text confirmation. It's a tad annoying
UPS has been around for years. They delivered my iPads and Macbooks a few times.
That sucks that its UK Mail, they aren't very good in my area. Maybe I'll get lucky and the delivery van will arrive at 0900 at my door
Doubts are setting back in for me now haha It's like a roller coaster
We'll just have to wait and see if we get the DPD texts tomorrow then I guess.
What company then? As stated above, I am afraid that tracking codes are not yet active, so you wont get any further informations from neither UKMail nor others.
Spoke to Three.
Despatch notifications should go out tomorrow evening, and a DPD email confirming delivery time to follow in the morning.
I'm relieved its DPD handling things. Excellent courier.

Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed we'll get the texts tomorrow night then!
Work is going to drag tomorrow

I hope I receive some sort of email or text tomorrow as other than verbal confirmation I have had nothing from three. My online account just shows I have requested an upgrade and that's it.
There will be hell on if I don't get my delivery on Friday.

I got the 21 day text. I ordered a shared sim with an iPhone 64gb plus at about 4pm on Friday. So I called EE and they said the texts are slightly messed due to the amount of sales they had and he checked and said that mine is out for Friday and should receive a text from DPD tomorrow for delivery on Friday. I won't hold my breath, however it would be nice.
Got my UPS tracking number, tracking number doesn't work yet though, probably being picked up tomorrow so I presume it will work soon. Weird that it shows 12 September as the delivery creation date on the tracking number though (on the apple website).
Anyone here tried to replace their sim from Micro to Nano and asked to pay £5.xx for replacement from Three? its ridiculous!!!
I hangup on the person I spoke with then called back and I got another person through, and they said they'll send it to me for Free, WTF?

, WTF?Syncreaon are a distributor not a delivery service (the middle man as such) it will be passed by them on to a courier whether it be UPS, UK Mail, DPD etc. I'm sure we'll get further confirmation tomorrow who's delivering it, but in the past for me in the Midlands it's always been UPS.
Any Three customers had any updates today? Noticed that EE customers are getting texts to inform of them dispatch/upcoming DPD texts.
Three use DPD as well so hopefully they'll make contact tomorrow or something.
I ordered an upgrade with Three and was told I'd get a text on the day. Guy on the phone said I was the 2nd person to order the iPhone 6 from them so I definitely expect no issues! It is a shame the My3 webpage gives absolutely no information on your orders.
They didn't send out confirmation which was annoying but having received the text alert stating Friday delivery with DPD, makes up for it now. DPD rock.
Here's my summary:
EE
Phoned up at 13:30 12th.
iPhone 6 16GB Silver
DPD 1hr timeslot on 19th
Confirmation received by text today at 18:30.

I simply went into the local 3Store and they gave me an activated nano-sim (with adapter to use in current old phone), completely free.
New SIM worked literally straight away.
Also requested a new SIM for another number but they say "We'll charge you £5.11". the way to get around it is "But I have been a customer for years/months. Is it possible for you to ask your supervisor or something to waive the fee". After that, they usually come back from hold "Ok sir/Madam, we have waived the charge"
Another excuse to use is "I've only ever done this very rarely, and don't feel comfortable paying £5.11 replacement fee when my 'old' network did this for free".
That above method also works.
