I'm in Hull so a bit closer than you 😉 I'll be upset if you get yours first. And AmberLeigh as well think we all have the same model ordered.
Got a tip for us?

Sounds promising but maybe I should put a "phantom meeting" in the diary at 2 to justify leaving the office early. lol

Yours is taking a different route than mine. Mine originated from Shenzhen and is now in Hong Kong.
----------
Mine is in the same place right now. Chek Lap Kok is the Chinese name for the area that the airport is in.
Kinda wish I was still living in Hong Kong... could have just seen if I could have gone to pick it up myself! haha

pop your UPs tracking number in there. Tells you how far it's travelled, how long it's been travelling and it's average speed 😛 (as well as route etc...)
Mine: Distance: 3136.83miles - Time: 26hrs 44mins 0secs - Avg Speed: 117.34mph

Ok so i ordered a iPhone 6+ last Saturday (19th September) my delivery date is 16th-23rd October. Has anyone else recently ordered? and how long does it usually take to go from "processing" to "preparing for dispatch"?
My blue silicone Apple case arrived yesterday, now i'm just waiting for the phone 😎

My shipping date is 13th-20th october, so I'm guessing you will be slightly after me. My order is still processing 🙁

I was in the Regent Street store last night to get an issue with my 5 checked by the Geniuses (aside: fantastic service, got a replacement refurb handset even though my 5 is from launch and therefore out of warranty coverage with no AppleCare - thank you beardy hipster-ish Genius guy!). People still queueing with a staff member who was standing by a sign saying this is where to come if you have a phone reservation. Looks like it's still a way off from being able to walk in and buy one.

I reserved a 64GB 6+ at Buchanan Street Glasgow yesterday and queue was 50 deep - all scalper walk-ins and I had to wait in the same queue. Not good.
They had just got an unexpected large stock of 6's. All sizes but mostly space grey.

So probably the next batch after yours. Mine is still stuck on processing, so not long after your's changes mine should also change to "preparing for dispatch" 😎

I hope so! I'm hoping it will change today or tomorrow. As most phones have been arriving 10 days early... and in order for mine to arrive 10 (3rd october) days early then it should be dispatched any day now 😎

That would be good, i was quoted 3-4 weeks on Apple's website when i ordered, so if there sending them out 10 days early, that would be great 😀

I believe its 7-10 days... So perhaps I'm being a little optimistic. I just want to be able to track it more thank anything

Funny as I checked out Portugal and Spain and both the 6 and 6+ are delivered in 5-7 days..
That'll surely annoy a few people.

Just giving everyone a heads up, I haven't read the threads recent pages so sorry if this has been mentioned already, but I managed to snare a 6+ 64gb space grey on Tesco Mobile as a new customer, any time upgrade £50 a month no up front fee. Delivery between 3-5 days. Time to return the normal 6, 128gb which I managed to reserve yesterday at the Bullring Apple Store, which coincidentally had a dead pixel in the centre of the screen.

I had some screen protectors arrive today from eBay. At first they looked promising until fitting the protector ends about two millimeters from the edge of the screen which leaves a very noticeable line down the side of the phone.
I do have a glass protector on its way however in the meantime has anyone received plastic protectors that fit well as I'd like to order some?

For people that are waiting for their online order status to change, mine has just changed to preparing to dispatch -- SG 6, 64GB, ordered Sep 15th. Delivery date still estimated at Oct 7th to 10th.
So if yours was ordered around the same date, it *should* be getting processed/updated soon...depending on the model I guess.

Hi guys
I got my phone through mindnight reservation, pick it up on wednesday and only just now checked the screen for deal pixel and with my best of luck i have one ( kicking myself for not checking sooner), just wondering if i would need to book an apt for tomorrow or would i just be able to turn up.

You never know, it could be sooner considering a lot of people have reserved and bought in store, then cancelled their online order.
