Europe - iPhone X/8/8+ ''processing, dispatched, shipped, received'' Thread

[servalpe]

Just letting you guys know: I was a bale to order one this morning right at 6 am in the Apple Store Berlin. 256 in white. Will pick it up at 18:00. Super hyped!

Good Luck for people in Italy, France,Germany and NL. No stock in the rest of Europe ;(

You really just have to be fast. They might get in like 4 units each day or something like that so stock is gone within seconds once online at 6 am.

Unbelievable! I set my alarm to 5:55 but somehow slept through to 6:01 by then there were a few 64GBs left to reserve but if there were any 256GB models, it was too late. Did anyone by chance reserve a 256GB model in NL or Brussels, Düsseldorf or Oberhausen today?

There is nothing in Spain since Monday, I just saw then a SG 64 GB in Valencia and around 6:20 a.m

64GB X is available for pickup in many german apple stores right now.
But I want 256...

 

[jimmyX]

Nobody want them. 64GB available in three stores since one hour or two. (Germany)

 

[Anekdote]

I would take it, but too far away.

My carrier still has no clue when they get the next shipment.

On the bright side, let’s all be thankful Apple isn’t managing our food supplies.

Update: originally I hade a delivery window from Nov 13 to Nov 20. Today my order registered as "shipped", with delivery tomorrow, the 9th. Very happy now

When did your order change to preparing to ship?

When did your order change to preparing to ship?

Yesterday around 6 PM. At 10 this morning it changed to "shipped" with new delivery date.

Mine also changed at the same time but I still have preparing to ship. I hope it’ll change today.

It probably will. On all the previous occasions when I've ordered from Apple, "preparing to ship" has never lasted longer than 24 hours before changing to "shipped". Good luck!

Thanks, fingers crossed!

[g3nu1n3]

What are you doing? Did you contact Apple about it or just decided to return it?

If it’s defective in the first 14 days Apple sends you out a new retail unit, and then you send back your old one when you get the new one.

If it was not a huge defect (only camera or dead pixel): Why did you send it? I would wait 14 days and trigger then the return. After triggering the return you have again more than a week as deadline to send it back......

 

[geekiemac]

I have an unusual delivery timeframe: 24 Nov - 01 Dec (it was 29 Nov - 5 Dec but changed beginning of Nov).
I keep checking it every day but it doesn't move. I expect to see some movement by the end of next week.

Hi guys,

I’ve spend about 3,5 hours (!) on the phone with Apple care. Both tier 1 as senior advisors... but they keep saying it is not possible to bump up the delivery date of the new device.

I also spend about 6 hours (no joke) to get the device working again.

It’s not a minor issue, after two days the phone stopped working, continues boot loops.
Clean install through iTunes is not possible, entering DFU mode only worked once but again, not possible to recover/install the device in iTunes.

Apple send me to a service provider, they also didn’t get it to work.

Seems there is only special stock for people with AppleCare+ to get a advanced replacement. For the advice was:

- wait till 6-13 December
- get a refund and try to get it somewhere else

Apple Stores are a two hour drive for me at minimum, and Apple can’t guarantee me there will be a device available for me, so that’s also not an option.

I bad for me ... expected a better custom care experience, but maybe that’s only in the US ;-)

Shipped to Poland, delivery 13th. UPS tracking still unavailable though.

Wow that sucks! I always thought people were weird for saying Apple got AMAZING support... They try to screw us over regarding legal warranty (pretending we can only get 1 year while EU law states 2) etc...
