HomePod Pre-ordered HomePod mini, delivery date 17th?

[ryantbfh]

How come the free delivery option is the 17th, yet the £4.80 express option is the 16th (release day) such a con.

 

[Melmanoh]

I agree !!! and you can't do a in store pick up in the US.

 

[yegon]

Haha, yeah, crazy.

Mine due 17th-19th. I’d rather burn a five pound note than give them the extra £4.80.

 

[Neil Harrison]

Ordered mine. The intercom feature is good. Used it on my homepod

 

[yegon]

The Mini is going in my bedroom, perfect for that.

Had my second HomePod in there for a while, but it was overkill and I missed having a stereo pair.

Just so we can be pissed at the poster who on 10/16 says ”I tripped and fell into an apple store and came home with 2 HomePod Mini’s!“ while we keep refreshing FedEx for 10/17+ delivery

8 bucks for express delivery in the US and it said delivery on the 16th or 17th. Only saved a day, so not worth it. I guess for $99 they are not going to do day of release delivery like they do for the phones.

It maybe where they are shipping from and airspace available. I bet we get them on 10/16 w free shipping. Under promise sort of thing.

thats what I thought too but I was a sucker and got the expressed shipping maybe I can try to get it refunded. I don't think these things will sell out.

Delivery date has already slipped to January now...

I just checked in the US and it's Nov 18-23rd for Space Grey.

Ah, yeah, I'm not in the US.

 

[MDePew24]

Yeah, mine is scheduled for the 17th too. Can’t wait to get them.

 

[ID_Field_Blank]

Just ordered two in the UK for delivery on 17-18th.
First HomePod devices so looking forward to testing them out

 

[Feek]

Yeah, my UK order shows 17th to 19th November. I wasn't paying a fiver for delivery on the 16th, especially as my entire order was almost £1,300. Sod that.

 

[ID_Field_Blank]

They’ve now slipped to mid December in the Uk

 

[yegon]

Glad I got my order in.

Part of me thought, it’s HomePod, no one buys them (relatively, and I already own two to be clear), I’ll order it later when the store will have calmed down.

The diehard launch day, refresh-refresh-refresh part of me won the argument though thankfully 😅


It’s not surprising given the price of entry is acceptable for the masses now.

 

[D3ggy]

Ordered and looking at 19th earliest.

 

[caligurl]

ordered 2. one for the master bath and another for hubby's workshop (i stole the regular home pod we got for out there and brought it in the office to make a stereo pair and "home theater" the tv in there!) got 17-19 free delivery.

Literally me too 😂 The deciding factor was they were still available for launch day(week?) delivery when I woke up, didn’t set an alarm for this one.

What’s with the two HomePod Mini cap limit? I wanted to order four 🤬. Wouldn’t even let me do two Space Gray and two White.

Can you order more through Best Buy?

Probably but I have the 10% veteran’s discount at Apple so try to get everything through there. Actually I just tried again and was able to order two more. Of course delivery dates slipped a couple weeks but no biggie. At launch time (~0810 EST), it kept saying I exceeded my maximum allowable amount.

Oh wow awesome I didn’t know they offered that! Hmm maybe they thought they’d sell better earlier today 🤔

Best Buy let’s you buy more. I put 4 in a cart and all would to be delivered on 11/16. Whether you get them on time though...
