Quick Question - does anyone know the situation with Apple Leather cases at the Apple stores ? Are they also out of stock ? or do they seem to be in free supply ?

When I was in store yesterday they only had Green,White and Red silicone cases left and the nasty pink leather ones left. This was for the 6's though, the 6+ leather cases were in abundance.
 
this is what it looks like to be stuck in Korea and have the email from Apple saying delivery today!

Although it UPS website now shows no schduled delivery date available, but before the apple email it showed Monday delivery.

Im assuming the Apple Stores are out of stock of the Apple cases?

Wish i picked one up now, as they seem to look quite nice.
 
So I'm one of the 30-3 lot. Ordered a 16GB 6 on the 14th.

I got a dispatch email from Apple last night with an estimated delivery for the 25th. When I tracked it on the UPS site it was in China and said 22nd.

This morning: On the Apple site, it shows an est delivery of the 22nd. But when I track through UPS it just states 'rescheduled delivery' with the latest update showing as: Shenzhen, China 20/09/2014 10:08 Pkg shipped; delivery being scheduled.

Anybody else getting this?

Worst comes to worse it arrives a little late, the email from Apple said the 25th so that's the latest it'll arrive I guess. Still 5 days earlier than my original estimate so I can't complain.

Not sure why everyones getting so agro over 'shipping incompitencies', it seems very few, if any, are receiving their iPhones late. :confused:
 
Good news - mine has arrived with UPS just now.

I had the Apple email yesterday to say it was being changed to Saturday, but my UPS tracking did not update after the Depot Arrival scan before delivery. The UPS site just updated to 'Delivered' but the Apple order page has not changed from Monday yet.

The phone took the China / Dubai / Cologne route & arrived in Castle Donnington at 0530 today, then on to Leeds at 0700.

I'd expected it to stay there until Monday, but I expect UPS are just as keen to get them cleared out so they can get on with business-as-usual, I bet their other business customers are playing Hell. I hope this is useful for those waiting, all the best. :D

Can you send a print screen of the tracking page?

Mine is exactly the same apart from mines in Shanghai apparently and has been since 1:33pm UK time yesterday.

My Apple order status still says delivery on 22nd but on UPS it's saying delivery date not available at the moment.

It's getting frustrating cos my iPhone has been in the same place for 24 hours!!

Is anyone else stuck in Shanghai with a delivery date of 22nd?

Out of curiosity. Where in China has your shipment originated?

I'm hoping UPS are just pushing things through fast and forgetting about tracking for now just to get them delivered fast.

I tried calling UPS, to see my progress. I had received the email from apple saying it would deliver today, it has arrived in chelmsford (my closest depot) but UPS said on an automated line a 23rd delivery date. Anyone else getting this??:(:confused:
 
Ok 30-3 Korea 19:10 gang.....just got off the phone to UPs and they are adamant that it's gonna be delivered Monday.....they reckon mine is still in transit and the next scan will be at my exeter depot.....I asked them about the Apple email and they don't know cos it isn't in UK yet but apparently is moving, so Monday is best bet.



I'm giving up hope of today and will be pleasantly surprised if it does come. If I'm in i will be happy but if not then at worst I can collect Monday.



Please anyone else in same boat as me let me know if any of you get yours today.


Thanks. I had to hang up on the phone queue with Apple in the end as I had to leave the house. Monday it is!
 
Its not really forgivable, they could update their flipping order status! Or even better send out a correction email.

The order status on the Apple website is correct - it doesn't need to be updated.

The errant email also directs you to the order status - "on Saturday morning you will be able to track your order by visiting Order Status".

Same boat has you but got
20/09/2014 8:51 Your package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.
And a Exception status but like you said but the estimates dates and 25th is still early. Would be lovely to come on the 22nd I got that day off

Where was your last scan on the UPS website as my local depot is also Chelmsford.
 
Only way we can know for sure is if 1 of us 30-3 stuck in Korea people actually get there's today.....surely everyone will if 1 does. But I'm giving up hope until someone on here may get there's, but Monday looks realistic....that's still ok for me, just wish I knew 100% either way!! Hate being on edge lol


We need a whatsapp group!
 
hopefully mine is out for delivery now :)
top tip::
if you go to the US UPS site, then track your parcel, then click contact -> live chat, you will see a more uptodate track. The main page says mine is scanned out of Castle Don, but the live chatt says its in reading, confirmed by the lady at UPS i just spoke to :)

But my order status shows me nothing, other than it has been dispatch not an expected delivery date. So yes it does need to be updated, they have two items valued at £1400 I don't care when it gets delivered as long as I can be here to sign for them.
