OMG that is good news it seems your Shanghai Pilot found his/her way to the plane... now only if the pilot for Korea could find his/her plane and start to fly hahaha! Oh well we should have an update tomorrow morning (I hope) *fingers crossed*
Fingers crossed for you
mine had been sitting in Shanghai since Thurs lunch time. There are a few flights throughout the night from Incheon to Shanghai and Shenzen/Hong Kong.
Cool, thanks for the replies Gonna try that then! If my local-ish store has one then I'll pop in and grab it / cancel the online order

Cancel once you've got the phone, there's been a few people who have actually missed out so just be careful first.
It is defiantly worth staying up till midnight to try the reserve and pick up in store. Using the link:
https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/GB/en_GB/reserve/iPhone/availability
I did it last night at exactly midnight and by 12:04am I had a iPhone 6 SG 128gb reserved for me at Westfield Stratford City for pick up between 11-12 perfectly selected during my lunch break at work.
Got to the store at 11:10 went to the reservation line outside the store waited 3 seconds, checked in and was taken inside where the guy went to the back collected my reserved phone then asked if I wanted any accessories. Only thing I was after was applecare+ so added that. Even traded in my iPhone 5s then and there to bring the cost down some.
In and out in 15 minutes with plenty of chit chat in between. No crazy lines that wrap around small villages, no camping for hours\days outside.
When I managed to get a reservation last night my exact words where "It couldn't have really just been that easy, could it?"
It really was for me and I'm still a little taken back.
Have read of some posts on here that some have gone to their reservation only to be told that there was a glitch and an overbooking. I really do sympathies with those as thats gutting to say the least.
Fingers crossed they have sorted that out. Other way to prevent it I suppose is book and early slot if your day allows for that.
tl;dr: yes it was totally worth it, got myself a iPhone 6 SG 128gb which is exactly what I was after.

When I did pick it up there was a guy opposite the table when I was paying asking if there are any left as I'm buying one.
They just replied pretty sternly I'm sorry they are all reserved It's best to try returning again tomorrow as there are constant deliveries.
He just replies oh I can't I'm flying back home tomorrow...........
:cough: scalper :cough:
Even carried on to pester her and ask if there is any chance he can just have a missed reservation right at the end of the day. Still a firm NO.

Not working for me
was like that this morning at 6 ,keep trying for about 15 mins
I will, but probably cos its sunday and there's limited deliveries on sundays I assume.
----------
Yeah I'm bummed but at least I have a online order that should move soon
Bullring this morning said that they will be getting no more deliveries this weekend - if that is true or not i don't know...

It is probably true, I was hoping Leeds or Meadowhall might have had some deliveries tomorrow.
That maybe true, but I can't believe all four stores in London and not a single one is going to get a delivery. Here is hoping.
I would like to warn people about the Black Silicone Apple cases, they are not black at all, they are a middling grey, not even close to black. And yes looking at the case on the Apple website now I can see it's grey, but the thing is called black, its even on the box.
Just a heads up for people.

It will be down till Monday. They won't have any new deliveries on a Sunday will they!? Saturday would have been reservations that were returned or not picked up by people on launch day etc.
Yeah its Apple, they messed up the pre order launch so im not surprised but thats life.
