Nope, gave up on today this morning after UPS on the phone told me Monday.....I'm just hoping that THAT'S accurate....cos nothing else so far has been!
They could be messing with us and we are actually still on for our 30-3 dates
Yeah I agree
if our phones leave within the next 4 or 5 hours a Monday delivery is possible. They could be in the UK by this time tomorrow. If we don't see anything by 10pm I won't hold out much hope.Picked up my 6+ 64gb silver from touchwood store earlier today after reserving at midnight. I was told there was a glitch and too much stock was reserved last night meaning they had to disappoint people. The phone they gave me was actually one they had set aside for exchanges, and apparently was the very last 6+ in store.
Yeah, if you look here http://www.vodafone.co.uk/iphone/pay-monthly-iphone/index.htm it gives you the details. Problem is they don't have stock, if you're desperate to get the phone.
Carphone Warehouse are also selling these plans and they appear to have stock available.
Can you take out a Vodafone contract at an Apple Retail store? If so, I may go down the route of trying to secure a reservation at midnight.
Since I set up the stock checker (http://iphone6stockchecker.com), I've been keeping an eye on levels. They're literally varying by the minute if not seconds! So, I'm not surprised that these slip ups happen. Good job you managed to get one though!

To be honest I wouldn't mind as long as I knew for sure where the hell my phone was, and what date it's coming! I hate the unknown, and the lack of movement on UPS site is worrying me, lost shipment?
Well, just back from Meadowhall having reserved a 6 just this morning. They were down to just a couple dozen 6's when i got there all reserved.
Sold the iPhone 6+ en route to a friend for cost-price ... she loves it
Bitter sweet losing the resolution and the OIS but it just wasn't for me... too tall
Had it been skinny top & bottom bezels like Android phones tend to be i'd love it... maybe if they did a 5.3 and shrunk the bezel that'd be a sweet spot for me

Finally just been put through to Apple after an hour and a quarter on hold and he said if I got an email it's with a driver and will definitely be with me today. I mentioned that I'd checked Apple's own order status page, but specifically didn't mention anything whatsoever about Korea, and he said there's been a problem with tracking and "it's saying something about being stuck in Korea, but if you got the email it'll definitely be with you today".
I should mention (again) that my original order confirmation said 30/09 - 03/10 and I got my email yesterday around 3pm. I did ring this morning and was informed the email was sent in error and to expect it by Monday (the date specified on my dispatch notice and on Apple's own order status page), but this bloke who I've just spoken to at Apple CS independently said there's a problem with tracking and it's saying it's in Korea, but will definitely be with me today.
UPS's tracker still says I'm stuck in Korea (metaphorically, of course!).
Something to this, or a load of bunkum? I guess only time will tell...!

"Lost shipment"? Again?!
I'm getting a strong feeling that you might be better off reserving from an Apple store instead. lol
Trust me, your phone won't be lost. The fact that nobody seems to be getting up-to-date tracking would suggest that its not being updated. Apple would soon be on the case if a shipment of phones vanished. I called apple today and they actually said that UPS had stopped realtime tracking and it should update tonight.. lets see. If only Apple had not sent out the silly email.
Keep the faith

Lots of us here with the same estimates/delivery stuck in Korea, not one of us has had it delivered... if at least 1 of us had it then it proves the shipment is definitely not in Korea but I think it probably got held up for whatever reason.

Ahhh you still needing a distraction from your work? Feel free to come do my washing and ironing. However, despite what we all read and think people are entitled to post how they feel and their frustration. And it does seem reading post that Apple have not been able to get personal pick up working in some cases. Maybe we could make a new app for apple called the raffle ticket or take your chances
All the Korea ppl. Where about are you in the UK? It might be that we are all in the southeast.
I'm just upset because I had to take a day off at work and now I have to work on Monday and I won't be able to stay at home to wait for the phone to arrive!
If you're not 100% sure that you will be delivering tomorrow, why would you send me an email saing so?
I've never had such a bad service from Apple! Out of this world!

I think we should all just have a wee drink instead (I know I have). The sun is well beyond the yardarm and it might just help to settle some jangling nerves.
Don't get me wrong, I know that some people are prone to worry - me being very much among them - but fretting about lost shipments is definitely a worry too far.
As you said, we should all just keep the faith. It will all work out OK in the end!
Cheers
PS I've just done the washing here - all done with that for today, thanks.
If there was any chance of today delivery someone from the Korea gang would have had their delivery by now....it's not gonna happen today, I was resigned to that this morning.....right now I'm just hoping for Monday, or any movement whatsoever really lol

Telling people with OCD to just "calm down" is a bit moronic....you must be the kind of person who would have told Robin Williams to "cheer up".
I apologise if I'm annoying you on this thread but with the statement I'm getting back from you it seems like I must have shagged your missus or something lol
I spoke to our daily UPS driver on Friday morning, and he said he only had four iPhones on the van. That was 8:45 am. I was a bit suprised. Mine was delivered by UK Mail. Despite the tracking not working for me, I have no complaints. Hope you guys get your deliveries soon. Nothing more frustrating than waiting in for an expected delivery. Everytime you need to use the loo and here a truck, you have to rush to the window. Fortunately I'm a bit more chilled about these things at my age. At least you get tomorrow off the waiting game.

Oh dear.
I can only apologise, as you have clearly become upset.
The "calm down, dear" was a paraphrase intended for comic effect (Michael Winner, esure - Google it if not familiar).
I am more than passingly familiar with mental health issues and intended no offence to you or anyone else.
PS Your OCD comment came after, not before, my comment.
My estimated delivery is 15th - 22nd of October
Mines 10 to 17th October. People are getting theirs earlier though so there is hope
