I'm cool with UPS, tracking usually works reasonably well. And every year I've received my new iDevice before 12am.
Either way I'm talking the day off work just to give me time to get setup, exciting times ahead
Got a tip for us?

Is the Moshi iVisor a recommended screen protector - it seems to be a rare-breed in that it covers the whole front of the phone?
I'm getting mine delivered to work, I am at work on Friday 7am-3pm so if it doesn't turn up by then I will have to sit at work!
I also have the weekend off to play and setup the phone though
Me too. Up, go for paper, shower, (before 8) then watch my driveway until it comes!
Am getting tempted by the watch now too! Will have a look when I pick up 6s in store next week and maybe put a request into Santa
Really jealous that UK don't have the iPhone upgrade program yet
I suspect January after the Christmas 'rush'.
Unless you want 128gb.......
Mine has been fairly fast - probably because of the added excitement of Muse tour fan resale yesterday - managed to get 2 standing tickets for Glasgow
. Got to say logging into the ticketmaster presale did even less for my nerves and blood pressure than the iPhone pre order and constant refreshing of the 
store app Was all logged in to TM but didn't realise I should have gone via the Muse site to TM. Thankfully I realised in time. Much stress!! Has anyone else not had their money taken yet? Using a Lloyds AMEX.
Take my money and give me my air miles
SNAP! The full amount is now pending on my TSB Avios card but it will be getting transferred to a 0% credit card so I can take a few months to pay.

Those are my work hours. I can work till 7 but on a Friday? No thanks! I was lucky to be able to book the day off.
Doesn't take that much longer than having to pack and post for eBay
.Always a MacD's, KFC or Starbucks in the neighbourhood, arrange to meet there and have a coffee while they check the phone (also plenty of cctv so they won't try anything silly).
Wasn't impressed with the UPS tracking when I was waiting for my 5S. The tracking page said it was at local depot until I signed for my phone then changed to out for delivery after I had been using for a few hours. Finally was marked as delivered late that evening.
I'm guessing the sheer number of deliveries they will have that day causes delays with tracking updates.
Can anyone tell me. So my existing and very close contact texts me and it doesn't come up with the name just the +44 number? I had my phone unlocked tonight by o2?
It's already listed on AVForums as I have sold on there before, but I haven't even had any offers.

I've never had any issues with Gumtree or eBay, but have found in general high ticket items sell quicker on eBay
But then again on eBay you do occasionally get the odd 'Nigerian priest' bidding on your MacBook
I'll come and help you make sure it gets delivered
(I can't promise that I will be there when you come back tho)
Did this occur just after you restarted your phone/switched your phone on? iOS 9 has made it that when your phone switches on but hasn't been unlocked yet that it doesn't show contact information for messages, just the number/apple ID it came from, I believe in an attempt to up privacy!
AVF seems to be saturated with iPhones, even worse if it's a space grey from what I've seen the last few times I've visited.
It's the same for me, no charges showing yet even though my order is preparing for despatch.Has anyone else not had their money taken yet? Using a Lloyds AMEX.

Tried restarting and it's still doing it. Do you think this is from unlocking?Did this occur just after you restarted your phone/switched your phone on? iOS 9 has made it that when your phone switches on but hasn't been unlocked yet that it doesn't show contact information for messages, just the number/apple ID it came from, I believe in an attempt to up privacy!
Ah I'm not sure then? I had my iPhone 6 unlocked last week by O2 and had no problems with it? Seems very odd, have you tried deleting the contact and readding it if its just that one, or is it other contacts too?
Try deleting the number in your phone book and then store the number again from the call history.
I can't tell yet it's only that one contact as my others are iPhone so iMessage and they have been fine?
Oh wow! Such a generous offer! And you'd do that for free?!?I'll come and help you make sure it gets delivered
(I can't promise that I will be there when you come back tho)
Apple paid for standard UPS shipping, which means you get basic updates. You'll know it's "Out for Delivery" and you'll get it "By the end of day" but that doesn't mean much at all. You'll get the Out for Delivery update at 8am, and you don't know what time they'll arrive at your house. You could wait until 7pm before they deliver the phone which is torture. Okay it's fine by me if they sent me a text saying they will deliver at 7pm but you don't even get that.
