I'm hoping they do go to Stansted and not just to East Midlands otherwise my phone will have a 3 - 4 hour lorry journey before it even gets to my local depot!

Let's hope everyone in the South gets movement on there UPS Tracker within the next hour or so then! :)

Is this plane due to leave Cologne tonight?

Normally go via Tamworth. It's naff tnt at stansted. Although I hear all phones Essex bound are taking an extra few days vacation in Europe :)

Not so sure Jinjin! Last year it said it was at the local hub, then by 9am (I had left the house) the tracker told me it had been out for delivery since 7am! Hope we get the scans appear on our tracking info quickly this time! :D

Ahh fair enough! That would explain why I can never find them :rolleyes: if you have any flight numbers that you wouldn't mind sharing? ;)

its pretty much random googling and looking at past shipments people have commented on and routed planes have taken..


e.g. these flights are ups ones from cologne to stansted, you can see a pattern with its timings..

if your delivery date shows 22nd then id says its safe to assume it will turn up..

I was pissed last friday morning missing the initial batch of preorders by minutes, but great work by apple to get us our phones by the next working day.

Yea, I know ups are always pretty accurate and as you say the next working day after launch was pretty impressive considering the estimate of 30-03!

Thanks! :D
 
I hope you all get your phones soon so then maybe my time bracket can finally see some movement!
 
I'm quite annoyed overall with this, wish I'd not let myself get eaten up by the hype of the phone, normally I've waited a few weeks, then got one, but I really wanted the 6+, I ordered it as soon as the apple store online was working, in my basket it said delivery on Friday, great!

Then I got the email and it'd been changed to 28th Sep - 3rd Oct :( Not so great.

Get email on Friday 19th saying GOOD NEWS your phone is coming tomorrow, Saturday, the UPS tracking said it was still in Korea so I didn't believe them for a minute that it would turn up, and I was right, it didn't. I've called Apple and told them to stop messing me about. He told me that it *should* come on Monday, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Yeah yeah I know, First world problems. I see people are paying stupid money for them on ebay, I feel so let down by them I might try making a few quid and stick with my 5 until they become available. It's a gold 6+ 64 that's supposed to be coming, saw one go for £850!

Dude chill.....it's literally the next working day.....a lot of us just missed out on pre order day......we were all probably trying from 8am but couldn't connect.....finally did at 8.42 and just missed out.....initially said 7-10 working days, so 1 working day is pretty darn good.

I am really impressed with Apple and UPS. Tried to get in for launch day but got an email stating 1st - 6th Oct. Mine left China this morning at 5AM, went to Dubai and is now waiting for its last flight from Germany > UK :)
