[phetherweyt]

I wonder if there's anyone in the 24 - 29 still waiting.

 

[mooo]

Which group are you in? I assume 24 - 29.

edit ... just reviewed your messages and you're in the 29-06 group... hooray

No

Im its the 29th Sept - 6th October

24 - 29 person who received theirs on 25/09.

At the upper end of the estimate, but later than I expected!

Weird. I sent my watch on on Monday, I think.. got the confirmation of refund yesterday and got the credit note last night.

You should track the package and see whether it was received or not. Did you have the tracking number?

Royal Mail cocked up so the tracking only shows for when the trade in box was delivered to me. I can’t track it to the trade in inspection place 😞 I only know it’s on the way because of the Apple Store app! 😖

Not UK but Skandinavia. Still waiting for my iphone pro silver. Ordered it via one of the phone carriers here. Was 4-6 delivery date estimation when I placed the order (14 sep). Now its 3-5 weeks estimation. It really sucks, apparently this happens every release for the pros. Apple for sure keeps us waiting to build hype is my conspiracy theory atleast

Apple does not artificially constrain supply, that is completely counter-intuitive.

What happens is the carriers over-promise, get you to sign up to a multi-year contract, and then fail to deliver on time - by which point most people suck it up and wait.

I haven't had a carrier-provided phone for many years and never will, for this reason. They are all incompetent and sleazy when it comes to delivery promises.

I took a photo of the return label so I have record of the return tracking number for the Royal Mail website. I also requested a Certificate of Posting when I dropped it off.

I wouldn’t worry to much, it can take a few days for them to process trade-ins and I believe as it is Apple who supply the returns postage they take responsibly for any potential losses.

Apple trade in in the UK is limited to £100 - regardless of the amount of items in the box.

I found out to my loss when an apple watch went missing via Royal Mail. Likewize (the company who deals with the trade ins) only coughed up £100 compensation.

So for future trade-ins I purchase my own shipping + insurance.

Yikes, that's a little "high risk" for high-value items if that's the only insurance/compensation they offer. Do they state this anywhere (is it buried in the T&C's), as it seems a little underhand not to make more of this?

I used Timpsons / music magpie for mine this year. Money was in my account less than 15 mins from leaving the shop. Costs £10 but saves paying for special delivery. Topcashback should pay £20 too.
