UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[Sheza]

My Syncreon has a delivery date/time of 19/9 @ 18:00.

Are these delivery times accurate? If so, I won't bother getting up at 7am!

No, that is their 'end of day' time. It can be any time before then.

Parcel App UK Mail status

My Parcel App on OSX shows the consignment as generated with UK Mail and lists it as a valuable item, I can't imagine them leaving the package without a signature, I will be waiting impatiently all day tomorrow, #GettinExcited

 

[Hustle]

Heard absolutely nothing from EE or Three regarding pre-orders - both expected delivery tomorrow.

I live in Norn Iron too, have you ever had anything delivered by UK Mail? Apparently they don't have any depots here, so I'm assuming they'll drop the phones off at the local Post Office and have Royal Mail deliver them.

They have a depot in Mallusk close to the Royal Mail sorting centre.

I don't know if they have their own delivery staff though, you could be right about passing things over to Royal Mail for delivery but I've definitely seen a UKMail depot when I've been picking up parcels from Royal Mail.

Never had anything delivered with them so not sure who they will use. What time did you get yours ordered at and what is your expected date?

Ordered from the Apple Store online at 08:22 on the 12th, it's getting delivered tomorrow.

Damn. Ok, thanks. I'll set the alarm clock

 

[Furzul]

What time have you made the order? I've made mine at 8:44 but it's still saying Preparing for dispatch Delivery 30th Sept 3rd Oct

The confirmation email is 0853. iPhone 64GB Silver.

I would hope that if stock was really that stupidly low for the +, apple would have admitted so to prevent people queueing for no reason.

I know it's going to be low, but surely not that low?

i wouldn't bet on it mate, when i queued last year they did nothing to say how low stock was, they could have saved the 200 people behind me the trouble of waiting.

obviously this is all in my opinion, I'm just saying that if anyone plans on queuing you may want to go tonight. I walked past covent garden on monday and there were 4 people camping out already

I tracked using my shipping label 1ZW********* on UPS.
It says:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

Thats about it.... till now...

Same here! It's almost 11am :/

Damn, can't be bothered driving all the way to Mallusk if I somehow miss the delivery... Hopefully they do use Royal Mail and I can collect it from the Post Office if I manage to miss the courier.

Oh right, mine is a 6+ Damned short supplies!

@ Mike Wilson

Hi, did your Apple order page say dispatched and then from there you got the info on your screen shot?

Ordered mine from UK and just missed the 19/9 and got 7 to 10 delivery @ 30/9 to 3/10. Now here in Portugal it seems we may get them on 26th so in a right quandary as to which way to go!

That's right.

On Friday it said;

Dispatched: 7- 10 business days
Delivery: 29 Sep, 2014 - 02 Oct, 2014 by Standard Shipping

On Monday on the Apple Orders page it updated to;

Dispatched: Delivers 18/09/2014 by Postal Delivery.

Now it says;

Shipped on September 18, 2014

What time did you get yours ordered at? Mine was ordered at 9:45am and is a7-10 day dispatch. I live in N.I though#

09:29am on a 7-10 day dispatch. I live in the IOM now, so not actually in the UK but probably the same shipping time as you.

Just had a look. Mine is on its way too. The original delivery date was 29/9-2/10. Though at the moment I don't seem to be able to track it.

Dispatched or Shipped?

As far as I can tell, Dispatched = consignment leaves Factory/Shenzen, Shipped = arrived with carrier.

Just spoke to EE again,

They are apparently getting their first batch of 128gb SG +'s in tomorrow so delivery should be Monday

It is being done based on when people ordered.

If that's the case then it's insane.

How could EE, the largest 4G network and Apples launch partner for WiFi calling not have any of the highest end phones in the range for launch day? EE seem to be sending out lots of different messages. I called them earlier this morning and they told me even though I have heard nothing my 128gb SP + should be on track to arrive tomorrow and to just wait on DPD.

Feel like every time I read something new I have to call them for clarification!

 

[Themacdaddyios]

I was thinking about it last week, but I got a pre-order in for delivery tomorrow. Good luck!

I am thinking about doing that too as they seem to be the only store likely to still have stock by the time I get there even though I've preordered. Do you guys have a 3-4 week wait as well ?

 

[Ergates-thi-Ant]

Phone might come with Royal Mail, despite saying Synchreon/UK Mail? Tracking my AppleCare+ order shows that UK Mail passed it onto Royal Mail with their Packet+ service. I wonder whether Royal Mail won't be helping with some of the phone deliveries?

 

[sb22]

For those that have UPS as the courier, you don't need to worry if you can't track it yet.

For large companies, the UPS tracking codes are generated first through the UPS Worldship software. Then once they print the label it will show on the UPS website. Since they will probably be processing the shipping labels all day, it will show up at some point.

UPS normally only do only one pickup in the day (typically in the evening), when all of the phones will show as collected by UPS together.

Basically, if your order says 19/9, it will be delivered tomorrow regardless of the current status.

Should've read this before i panicked , thanks!

 

[evans1978]

Need a camera to watch my front door. I'm thinking of using iStopMotion on my iPad at my desk and leaving an iPhone running iStopCamera. I really am far too excited!

Use Manything, install on both and it will use motion detection and alert your phone with a push message whenever someone comes near the door...

 

[Ergates-thi-Ant]

No wait for me, I hope. Delivery of my phones is scheduled for tomorrow sometime via courier.

To be honest, im at the point where i am going to just wait for that DPD message.

Me, yourself, and EWaldram (thinks thats his name) are all being fed different information

All with same spec too i believe

 

[sim667]

Well I guess there might be some more stock floating around as phones4u wont be needing there's anymore.

Yeah, planning on spending one very boring day in the hotel I've had them send it to - it's a tiny place but I hope I don't miss the UKmail guy. Fortunately, I can work from my room, though.

 

[epicdrunk-gamer]

Same here! It's almost 11am :/

Same **** for me as well...dont know why does Apple does this all so freakin secretly always. If they behave normal like others Samsung, HTC...we would still be buying Iphones. Not that all this hype has boosted sales. One who has to buy will always buy & vice versa.

I am sure there weren't so many posts when a a rocket was being launched in space compared to iphone launch frenzy.....

 

[gal24]

I have to understand something, everyone who comes his iPhone after the 9/19 sent from China?
