Well, this is it.
My parcel arrived literally seconds ago. The parcel tracker said to expect a 6PM delivery slot so this is a pleasant surprise. So very excited.
The parcel box is so much bigger than I remember my iPhone 4S arriving in. Guess that's a good sign.
6 p.m. is what they write when they don't have a slot yet
Out for delivery as of 20 minutes ago! (Edinburgh depot)
Was getting very anxious since it seemed to take a while
No timeframe as of yet
Stickin' wi u pal!
You ukmail?Do you think those of us who don't currently have a time slot are going to get ours really late?
Liverpool ONE iPhone 6 launch
Arrived just before 8am to a good size crowd. Lots of duvets and pillows so seems plenty of overnighters.
I wasn't going to get one as I could afford to buy outright this time but walking past o2 shop at 8.15 and only 4 people in store. Straight in and 5 min later a new shiny 128gb Space Grey was born!
On Refresh, last phone was 4S so this was a nice treat!

A lot of these people probably won't end up getting anything or at least not what they wanted, I always feel kinda bad for them
I was able to hold the stores only 6+ today and it is massive, it's really is too big for most people. I was the first person to get mine from the store this morning.
I'm happy with my choice of the gold colour (4.7 64GB gold), it looks great. It feels different with the different size and the lock button on the right, but even though it is slightly heavier it feels lighter because it is spread over a larger area. I didn't understand what people meant by swiping is much more smooth thanks to the curved screen until I experienced. It now really feels like the phone is 1 piece and their isn't just a screen plonked on top of it. You can swipe your finger from the metal siding over the screen without noticing the join which makes the swiping feel much better.

No, as far as I can surmise from the tracking info UK Mail don't have their own drivers over here, so they can't provide time slots.
I'm in Aylesbury, but so is the person in post #7813.... who's down to get it a few hours later.
Just called Three again and cancelled my upgrade.
Pretty annoyed to say the least - wish they just could have been straight from the get-go, I've basically wasted today for no reason.
I now have two options.
1) Buy outright from Apple, it'll take 3-4 weeks at least but it does give me the flexibility of not being tied down to Three anymore other than the SIM-only contract I'll be looking into (£15 p/m)
2) ...not buy the 6 and stick with my 5. Sounds crazy I know, but, rational thinking has kind of got the better of me recently, I dont really need to be dropping £££ on a new phone I dont need!
Good luck everyone though! Hope you all get what you want

Anyone know how to ring UPS to find out what time it might get here or is it not possible with them?
