Yup! I've had UPS parcels from Amazon China - dispatched Tuesday, delivered Thursday.
Just had a lengthy chat with one of the store leaders for a central London Apple store. Basically, 6 stock for queueing and walk in customers will be "plentiful" but 6 Plus stock is "severely restricted" across all stores and only very small quantities of each 6 Plus phone.
I tried to push him on stock numbers or rough numbers but he wouldn't say unsuprisingly. I asked him how early I should be queueing to ensure I get a 6 Plus. He basically said if I wasn't out there queueing now it was extremely unlikely I would get the 6 Plus I want, but that if I wanted a 6 then it shouldn't really matter but I might have a long wait to be served.

ALSO...
On a positive - for the UK, the reserve to collect system is here to stay. He said they may get new/more stock over the coming days and to check the reserve to collect system as they will get more 6/6 Plus delivered and you will be able to reserve them.

the next stop from china is amsterdam, as thats the only other destination the airport flies to apart from domestically and anchorage USA. doubt it'll go to the US. next flight is in around 3 hours! phones should be in amsterdam early tomorrow morning if my theory is correct, might be wrong though as it says the airline is china cargo, couldn't find a UPS flight from zhengzhou. i guess it'll go to the UK late friday and sit in the warehouses on saturday and sunday, dispatched locally to us on monday! *fingers crossed*

Mine is due for delivery 26/9-2/10 from Apple.
Thanks to whoever highlighted the tracking by reference by UPS. A shipping label has been created, that's a far as i am at the moment.
Weekend of tracking coming up lol

As somebody who works for O2 if you are picking up from store you shouldn't have anything to worry about. We received our stock on Wednesday. It's just been sitting there, taunting me.Just called O2 for an update on my iP6+ 64gb in Grey and I may as well of spoke to a tree.
Said she couldn't tell me anything about my order until tomorrow morning, so I'll call back later on.
Has nothing to do with it I'm afraid. They are all in Hinckley, it's the national UPS depot.
I called them, they said it'll come tomorrow if you booked the silver 16gb before Monday 4pm (which I did)
I sold my 64gb Gold yesterday for £430. So i imagine you would be looking at £330 maybe? You can do an advanced search on eBay for listings that have Sold. That should give you a decent clue as to what to expect.
Anyone else not as hyped for this version. For the iPhone 4 and 5, the week leading up has been a slow burner. For this release though, it's glided by.
I will say that I've been a student for those phones, therefore little else to focus on.

I've never had the best experience with UPS in my area.
Whenever they deliver to me they never arrive until 4:00-5:00pm. On one occasion they didn't even turn up at all despite it being my scheduled delivery day and the online tracker saying that my package was out for delivery, it then changed to delayed and they delivered the next day around 5:00pm.
Needless to say I was relived when I found out UKmail will be delivering my iPhone tomorrow. Not sure I've dealt with them before but I'm certainly hoping they are better then UPS in my area.

Yes, you add it in the second of the two available boxes, along with your postcode.
Ooh, just had a status update for the leather cover I ordered yesterday on 5-7 day shipping. It'll be delivered by UPS tomorrow. Awesome.
I know that feeling with the couriers, I'm also located in a small village in Buckinghamshire.

I've got nothing, which leads me to believe there must be a problem.
There are other options (apple store) but id rather three actually let me know sooner rather than last min
