Looks like everything's ok.I just had a "moment"...
We're on holiday at the mo and just left the beach (don't hate!) and all of a sudden I had a notification on my Apple Watch that a payment on my First Direct credit card had been declined!
Got back to our apartment and immediately logged in and changed it to my Amex card.
I don't know why FD declined it, I guess they suspected fraud, but it was easier to just change it to my Amex card as the Apple website said they'd keep trying to charge.
Fingers crossed...
Well I was worried about mine not going through but it went through without any problems somehow.
Like many others, my 6S Space Gray 64GB has switched to Preparing for Dispatch. What a bright spot on this dreary London day
+1 for Anker cables (and chargers and batteries). I have replaced all of my Apple cables with the Anker ones, they're excellent, and the 6-foot ones are particularly helpful.

https://uk.flightaware.com/live/fleet/UPS is the nicest place to track the UPS planes that are currently in the air, but I think it's a bit soon to be deploying that. If we see things moving to Dispatched in the next day or so, then we should know what's going on, because we'll see UPS tracking numbers, and correlate those with flights.
My space grey 64GB Plus has also gone onto preparing for shipment!
Was a little anxious HSBC would decline the payment, but it must have gone through fine. I guess I've spent so much money on the Apple Store they know it must be me by now

I've had launch day phones for everything since the 4 and as far as I can recall, not a single one has come directly from China, they've all been Syncreon.
Agree 100%. Can not fault Anker and their braided lightning cables - they are amazing and a fraction of the price of original Apple ones!
No, they normally arrive locally in the UK and are then shipped out from Apple's (Syncreon) distribution centre.
The exception was the 5s which came direct from China, but there weren't any pre-orders for them.
not the slightest and we wont usually until the night before from UKMail
Synchreon are the central holding hub.
From here they are collected by UPS, UKMail, FedEx et al ready for delivery.
Wonder when we will see tracking from the final carrier (ups or ukmail probably)? I would have guessed Thursday but since they have gone to preparing so soon I think it's anyone's guess! And this is definitely long enough for them to ship direct from China if they want to.
The past four Apple online deliveries were from UPS...I hate UPS because all my deliveries from them were late in the day. 5pm-6pm we are talking here.
If I get UPS again, 90% chance I won't get my phone until 5pm onwards.
