No - too many horror stories of being ripped off and scammed by buyers on here! :(

I guess I'm used to Amazon next day delivery....

Me too. Am so impatient but sometimes I take advantage of Amazon's £1 digital credit of not in a hurry. It usually still arrives pretty quick if they don't dilly dally on the dispatching.

Strangely a couple of phones have bids for more than they cost in retail. An example is a 128GB 6s in gold. Current bid of £720 for a £700 phone which you can still pre-order for release day delivery. But they are zero rating bidders :) plus fees it will mean they actually loose money. Rose gold is going for a few quid more.

I notes a few going for £1200 with a note saying they wont be dispatched until 25th - what is that all about?? Do these winning bidders really have any intention of paying this or are they just completely uninformed??

Potentially serious problem here, everyone with two on order check your support profile? One of mine has vanished but it is still in the order section. I logged both serial numbers just in case I needed them. Anybody else heard of this type of thing?

One of mine has disappeared too! :(

Whoa! iPhone 4!! I assume you're using that as a backup phone after selling off your 6/6+ like me (my backup is still a 5c). If not, I won't even pretend to say I understand how you feel :)...because I can't. I've been on 5S and 6 Plus since my days with the 4. That must be one hell of a leap for you from 4 to 6s/6s+.

Haha no this is primary device! I've never been massively into having the latest phone - I picked up a rMBP last year and I love it so I figure I may as well upgrade my phone instead of putting up with day-to-day minor frustrations :mad:. Aha quite a while since your days with a 4 then! I'm guessing the screen looks really small to you now :p

Getting a bit anxious guys ... iPhone 6s still in preparing for shipment status .. Should it not be dispatched by now if it's coming from China? I've taken day off on Friday and everything

Oh my! And I was complaining about my issues with the 6+..do ignore them.

My sis is like that..she doesn't understand why I want the latest technology always. And my iPhone 4 is with her (she didn't want my 5s or 6+ handed down to her because of her destructive kid). When I meet her and she asks me to help something with her settings, I do find it hard to believe I had used it for around 3 years...it looks so so tiny. But I know I loved it...was my first iPhone.
 
Just checked - I received a dispatch notification for my iPhone 6 on Wednesday 17th September 2014 at 19:51:47. It was delivered on Friday 19th September. I guess it will be similar this year, so dispatched on Wednesday, delivery on Friday.

The problem I see with this case is there is no front protection, like there doesn't seem to be any sort of lip that could protect a drop on the face. This has come in handy in the past!

Well due to the sides if you put it flat it won't damage the screen but sure if you drop it face down it could but depends how likely you are to drop it. Maybe buy a sleeve if you are worried? I'm using this case without apple care as I know I won't drop it. Never dropped any phone

The phones are most likely sitting in the Syncreon warehouse near Coventry already, launch day phones haven't come from China directly for a few years now.

Someone from Spain bought my 64GB 6s+ for £800 because he can't preorder it in his country yet.
It's mostly foreign buyers.
 
Has anyone on here heard anything from EE? I'v had nothing since I preordered last Saturday. Just seen someone on Twitter say they'd received an email from EE saying to track their order (with no tracking details)
 
I have a plan for iPhone 7! Hubby who has a 5c :)p) has just been told he is getting a phone through work soon (prob a 6s or 6s+). So we'll keep the 5c as a backup and I can trade in a couple of week before launch next year and use the 5c in the meantime. It's currently locked to EE so only worth £35 on a trade in at the moment. Seems crazy given Apple store is offering £25 gift card on a 16gb iPhone 4!! Going to use that to knock another £25 off the 6s on Friday.

In other news I won a iPhone 6 case on eBay last night for 15p!! Even with 99p postage it's not a bad deal :D

That's me up to 4 cases for Friday. 2 x 99p Spigen cases on Amazon plus this from eBay

I have a really cool case for 5s that has a chain so I can wear around my neck for takign fast photos. I love it for going to concerts or parties or sightseeing so this is to replace that dearly loved case.

My 6 came from China last year. Dispatched on Wednesday.

Fear not people. You can get a not day delivery from China.

I'm still on a 4 too. Finally upgrading after 5 years to a 6S. Will be good to have a working home button again!

Will be a little sad to say goodbye to the 4 though. Was my first iPhone as well and has stood up pretty well considering. Hope I'll get the same from the 6S as I can't afford to upgrade every year, or even every other year.

Order page says it was dispatched yesterday but DPD, say they are waiting in the parcel. I reckon they just created a load of delivery notes ready for sticking on the packages!

i have been told by O2 they are using UK Mail for delivery :( sooo confused. Also getting "This information is not available at the moment. Please try again later."

It says parceline on the order page, but the link takes you to DPD who recognise the tracking number O2 have given me.

I'm just glad it's not UK Mail as I had a nightmare with them when it came to my watch!!
 
Ordered 6s 64GB Space Gray from Carphone Warehouse and got a "We're dispatching your phone soon" email!

Tracking number doesn't work yet but I'll keep checking. Exciting times!
 
It's still grating me that some people on o2 have an update on the order and the rest don't. i.e. me.

It probably doesn't matter but it's a nice way of confirming there isn't a glitch or something equally negative.
 
Status for the phone I don't want coming from Vodafone hasn't changed from order confirmed yet

Phone I do want coming from Vodafone still says we've accepted your pre-order. Won't be seeing that one for weeks
