UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

Azzin said:
Sorry to be pedantic, but it doesn't say it will be delivered on launch day.

It says "Delivers 25/9 in most areas by Standard Shipping".

Thats Apple's get out clause.

That's just if you're in one of the select post codes which Apple then lists if you open up the further info, and for those post codes it'll give you a revised date. For the majority of the UK, and probably for all of us in this thread, it'll mean launch day delivery.

DPD have come a long way in the last 12 months, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to bid on an Apple contract for iPhone delivery. They handle most of Amazons orders with ease.

Lucky! I always get Amazon Logistics delivering mine and it comes any time between 10am and 10pm :/

Azzin said:
It never ceases to amaze me how great DPD are and how wrong most other couriers get it.

The thing is, DPD are relatively new/young and if they can offer 1 hour time slots, why the hell don't the likes of UPS? :confused:

UPS have started giving 4 hour time slots now, or at least my latest UPS order did have one. I am on UPS My Choice though.

hop said:
Anyone else signed up for UPS My Choice? I'm not holding out too much hope it'll actually work as it utterly failed to advise me of my watch delivery last time, though it'd be interesting to see if anyone else gets a heads up from them.

I'm on it and I've been checking to see if any deliveries are scheduled to my address, but nope! Makes sense now that someone explained it'll all be handled by Syncreon until they delegate it to one of the three couriers, probably tomorrow.

This is very cool way of using 3|D Touch not seen shown before

Yeah I think that'll be very useful! I like the 2 finger gesture that allows you to do that on iPad.

Quick question to those in the know... If I'm not around tomorrow when the delivery comes, can a family member sign for it on my behalf?
Click to expand...

If the family member was my mum, she would not sign just to p*** me off as "changing my devices so often is a waste of money". But she's pretty happy when I pass the 'old' ones to her
 
The only reason I contacted Live chat was to see could I change the delivery address, so please no hate about having no patience. This is what they said:

  • We anticipate this happening tomorrow in preparation for the delivery on Friday.

    These orders are going out at the highest priority, this is the biggest launch we’ve ever done. I can’t be clear enough, if we’ve given you the date of the 25th and you’re not in a really hard to get to, outlying area, it’s the 25th.

So no need to worry!

If it's from Apple they tend to be fussy about it but if they're in your home I think anyone who opens the door can sign.
I'm going to be out on Friday and we want a friend down the road to sign, I'm going to put a begging letter on the door with our contact number in but not convinced they'll allow it!
 
Damn it! Just found out I've got to work on Friday now. One question, does anyone know if you can request that they don't deliver and leave it at the depot, then I could pick it up after work on Friday?
If not my only hope of getting it on Friday is that it comes after 4:30 and my wife is home from work!
If that doesn't work I'll just have to wait until Saturday to get it, as I'm still on a 4! one more day won't make to much of a difference.

Guys what can I do about missing a delivery :( really worried I will miss it
Click to expand...

1) Don't miss it. I suggest sitting outside your house just in case you get one of those delivery folk that don't even knock the door.

2) Panic

3) rearrange delivery or go to the depot to pick it up.

Basically its being delivered to my parents work as thats the best option however no one is there till 9:30am onwards then they close from 2-4pm AHHHHHH
 
Added this to the OP:

[Last Updated: Wednesday 23rd at 4:30pm BST] Nobody who has ordered from Apple has received a dispatch notification yet. Don't worry, if your order states "Delivers 25/9 in most areas" and you do not live in one of these post codes then you should receive your order on launch day. Dispatch emails are likely to be sent within the next 24 hours.

Will anybody that is panicking about not having a dispatch email yet read it? Probably not, but it's worth a try to get people to calm down. :D

Ouch. This is why I store reserve now. Less worrying about dispatch dates / delivery times etc. Can you not ask them to deliver to your work / home instead?

I tried that, apple said the delivery addresses are locked in now. However they said if it wasn't delivered to the first address for any reason that they would then use the second address BUT that wouldn't be until tuesday as they would have to relabel it.
Hope that help!
 
If you have ordered through apple directly, then there is no need to panic as there isn't a single person on this forum that has ordered through apple and gone beyond 'preparing for dispatch', so everyone just relax, finish work, go back home, put on the rugby world cup, have a beer or a glass of wine and wait for the dispatch notices to come through tomorrow. In the past when I have pre-ordered my iphone through apple, I have always had an hour slot, i simply go home from work for that hour slot and come back into work after, done!
