Anyone ordered through O2 for launch day delivery? Was hoping to wake up to a dispatch email but nothing sadly.
If its any consolation I've had despatch confirmation emails from O2 as late (early) as 6am on the actual day of delivery. I upgrade my phone every year with them. When there is a major launch they seem to work through model by model - with no particular logic.
If you happen to be an early model they are processing you might hear by the afternoon before launch day. If you are a late model it could be tomorrow morning.
There are still no guarantees though, they do seem to be very cautious, and have told me in the past its because they dont know what stock allocation they are going to get from apple until it arrives. Sometimes its different to their expectations, so there does seem to be some luck involved.
Fingers crossed for all of us aboard the good ship iPad for tomorrow.

The debacle is sucking all the excitement out of this launch and makes me wish I’d never bothered.

Nothing from O2 and being held to ransom with no idea when I’ll get any dispatch notification, if at all. They seem to forget some of us have work and lives to live !!
Which, lets be honest are both much more important. See my post above - it might help your expectations.

Cheers Mark. Will just hope for the best. If I haven’t received a dispatch email by tomorrow morning, do you think I’m okay to go off to the office? Or do you think it could turn up without an email being sent?

Luckily with the work I do I can work around this - but only to an extent!
 
What model you order?

64gb Space Grey 12.9"

I just rang for an update, the reason being that I thought 28 days expected delivery from the second they went live always seemed a bit odd to me, especially when Sky can deliver tomorrow (for example).

Anyway she just stated that it would be up to 28 days. I am now in a bit of a pickle, I sent my old iPad off to Music Magpie (as I had a price locked in until Friday) HOPING they would go out on launch date but it don't seem like this will happen.

I know its not EE's fault but still, but I am a little disappointed at 28 days

What I also dont get is my Very order for WiFi version is due for delivery tomorrow!

Well I was told on the phone, when I ordered that I would be getting mine on Thursday. So if they dont deliver, its totally their fault and I'll just cancel the order and my contract with them on the iPad.

This happened back when the iPhone 6s came out, I called them on launch Friday to pay a bill and enquired if they had stock of the new iPhone. They said id get it on the Monday, so I ordered. It didnt arrive for a month. On that Monday I went to their website and they where still showing as in stock, ended up filing a complaint with the Advertisement Standards agency, after a few month I got correspondence from EE and they refunded me the upfront cost I paid for the handset.
 
I have literally just had a dispatch email from Very for my 64gb Space Gray WiFi only

I've never had anything later than early in the morning of delivery personally. At the end of the day, if you do miss a delivery you will be able to collect or re-arrange very quickly.
[doublepost=1541516050][/doublepost]My O2 order for 12.9" 512GB Space Grey is now showing a DPD tracking number and that it was despatched today. Nothing by email, but that will do for me.
Sometimes this only shows on the website. not the app.

Thanks for the reply! Was that a new connection or an upgrade?

Nothing other than WiFi account showing on website yet for me :(

1TB space grey on a new customer connection.
 
I've had an email from o2 advising me that mine will be available for collection tomorrow.

I've ordered the 11" 64GB Space Grey model. I'm not sure whether I need the 256GB model now I've been thinking about it.
 
Does anyone know if the Ipad Pro 2018 3rd gen has an Esim in UK and if so can I choose a carrier on the ipad?
 
New connection but I am an existing customer with my iPhone X. I don't think that helped though.
Same situation as me exactly.

What time did you get your email through on the day saying “you’re all set”, out of interest?
 
Thanks for the reply! Was that a new connection or an upgrade?
It was an upgrade on refresh, so I paid off the remaining balance on my old 10.5 pro and switched to the 12.9/

Without double checking, I think it has dual sim, including an Esim. I don think its enabled by Apple yet though, and Im not sure which carriers are ready to support it either. Im 99.9999999% certain O2 don't - as its the EXCUSE they give for not supporting the cellular Apple Watch.
 
Do you have the link for the Very iPad Pro? I can’t find them anywhere on their site. Thanks

They have made them 'unavailable' - as opposed to 'sold out' - so you are unable to search them, but if you have the item code you can search that and they still show up

TBH i have ordered a wifi from Apple, whilst i wait to see what the Vodafone deals are (we get 15% discount from work).

I want one tomorrow. I may or may not stick with the wifi only version depending on pricing, but to be honest with the price that Apple are charging for repairs and thus applecare, i really dont care if they have to foot the restocking fee if i return the WiFi one in 14days.
