wait nearly over..
our DPD driver Shaun will deliver your order today 12:52-13:52.

Can you get live tracking with dpd (not that I want to stalk the driver at all) if your order is through apple? the docs seem to suggest its dependant on what the sender has paid for?
 
UKMAIL 1535-1635 delivery slot I'm stop 117 yikes! What's a bit concerning is as per the tracking the drivers been on his way to stop 1 since 7 am
 
My UKMail Driver is at stop 1 of 91 ! Hope it doesn't take too long - although to be fair I think he's covering Canary Wharf and ALL those offices there - eeek!
 
Anyone else still waiting on timeslot from UKMail? See people mentioning driver acceptance status, mine just went straight to out for delivery.
using the ukmail site is only shows the next track as out for delivery.. mine has just gone to that. its the business-post site which had a bit more info
 
YESSSSS! UPS status changed to: Held for customer collection!
UPS are now in my good books

So did mine. It took about 30 minutes or so after that until the timeslot appeared. It's now an hour later and the driver still hasn't begun deliveries, but I suspect the online tracking is a tad slow at updating.
 
My driver just went from stop 1 to 21 in 2 minuets! 14 more to go.

He'd get here a lot quicker if just went in a straight line rather than in zigzags!

Mine showing as delayed on ukmail website now. Dunno what's going on.
They did that for me 2 years ago with a laptop delivery but it still ended up arriving on the same day. Hopefully your phone does too!
No update from DPD yet, but their drivers seem to do shorter rounds down here and the depot is only half an hour away, so not particularly concerned. Probably get a text in the next hour or so.
I usually get the time slot just after 9am.
 
Norwich Apple Store
Walked past on my way to work out of curiosity, around 7.50, no more than 20 people in the queue...
Reservation slot for lunch time, so I'm hoping it will be equally quiet!!
 
And me. So much for DPD being the best courier!
DPD are an excellent courier. They are extremely reliable, give accurate delivery timing estimates, allow you to ask for parcel to be delivered to safeplace just hours before delivery, and actually turn up.

But they do sometimes seem to start deliveries a little later than other couriers. Coming to work in Crawley, I regularly see UPS vans leaving depot at 7:45-8am when I get to work, whereas DPD sometimes only start around 9am-10am.
 
Yes even with the business-post site tracking mine doesn't mention driver acceptance
you're is out for delivery so its fine..

no detailed tracking on timeslot or route yet.. seems it takes a little while for UKmail site to show that level of info once its marked out for delivery
 
Oooh delivery slot of 2.41 - 3.41. Suits me as people in the house are out this morning and was worried about finding a neighbor that's in!
