Yes it was for a previous iPhone 6 order that I showed the DPD tracking info for, just go into orders and click on 'track order' brings up the information!
 
There is true but mostly the driver will know a better route and they can't stray from a route done by a computer.

This is why UKMail is also a decent carrier, they can do what ever route the driver likes
I can't even remember who did my delivery last few years, think it was DPD but not sure, even when we get the tracking information I think everyone is going to be keeping a very good eye at the window
 
Hey guys, been following these forums for the last few days, so figured I would jump in and join the hype. Just to keep everyone uptodate, I ordered through apple directly sep 12th, 8:05am, iphone 6s 64gb in silver. Still on preparing for dispatch! Just have a few questions, I have a colleague at work who wants to buy my iphone 6 16gb off me, just wanted to know what would be a decent price without fobbing him off. Also, I am on the look out for a decent folio/wallet style iphone 6s cover, any thoughts or recommendations?
 
Also with DPD if you live at the edge of their delivery area as I do, they can on occasion skip your delivery. I get a lot of stuff delivered and twice DPD have said they were too busy to make my stop even though their driver tracker showed the guy was less than a mile away. They have delivered about 50 other times within the slot though which is better than TNT and UPS.

Your probably tracking some other order now cause they reuse the tracking numbers you do realise...
 
Couriers aren't allowed to hand over the parcel until it's officially the start time they're given

Normally deliveries are from 08:00 - 17:00 for business and 18:00 for residential, this is also depends on the courier company. You wouldn't get them earlier then that to be honest as the chances are, there at the warehouse loading and or in transit for the 1st delivery

The tracking number I showed is for an iPhone 6 which I ordered as a birthday present for my other half and it was delivered last week. I'll screen grab the whole order if you still don't believe me. Give me a minute!
 
Here is the whole order showing an iPhone 6 was delivered by DPD just last week!

The BookBook is the best quality leather ever used.

guys i've got the spigen ultra hybrid case - the transparent one .. just saw this .. too good to be

true? http://www.spigen.co.uk/cell-phone/...s-case-tough-armor-volt-4-7.html#.VgJOr9VVhBd

Maybe if it were a nicer looking case and pad but at £50 for both the case and the charging unit I think I can make do with plugging in the lightning cable! Besides I charge my phone in multiple places - by bed, in kitchen, at work and I couldn't have everywhere so why bother anywhere.

Still no movement. What I find weird is the status keeps changing from Preparing for Dispatch and Preparing for Shipment.

Probably just a language bug in the load balancer setup, but weird none the less.

Are you flipping between apple.com and apple.com/uk?
 
Not even sure which courier will be delivering my iPhone yet, in the past Apple have used either DPD where you get a one hour time slot or UPS where it can land any time through the day (normally between 2-3pm with UPS)

My last 2 iPhones were delivered via UPS and always after 4pm. Not ideal for me as I'm at work at the time. Hopefully it's via DPD or UKMail. As they show one hour time slots. Here's hoping..

Mines now been assigned a consignment number from DPD, wasn't there late last night. No movement in terms of locations however!

Got my consignment no. added on Tuesday. All that means is DPD have accepted the collection request and allocated a number for it.

Paid the £5 upgrade fee to get delivery today, was accepted by Carphone Warehouse but still no collection or delivery slot. Worth a punt! Guess I'll have to ring up later though.

If you visit https://secure2.store.apple.com/order/list (US Site) tracking details will say 'Shipment'. And yes, UK orders will still show up on the US order page - just wording is different.
If you visit https://secure2.store.apple.com/uk/order/list (UK Site - note the slight addition of '/uk' in the url) then you'll get 'Dispatch' as the wording.

so if you go apple.com, you'll see the US order page. If you go apple.com/uk, you'll see the UK order page.
