Yeah I probably shouldn’t of mentioned what happened but If it makes people think then it can save a lot of heartache
I remember for Apple Watch 0 launch someone shared their tracking by accident and someone set a new delivery take for ages from release - pretty crappy!
Had a text from AO.com confirming I’ll get delivery of my Pro Max 128GB Graphite with a delivery time slot given to me by the morning.
Also had dispatch email from Apple for my partner’s Pro Max 128GB Silver (decided she didn’t want the Pro 128GB Pacific Blue off of me in the end - will be returning to Apple) for delivery tomorrow with DHL.

It shouldn't be something we have to say. But unfortunately even someone you are friendly with on the forum may do it just for a laugh...
I've got a delivery coming via DPD today and they've given a 18:30 to 19:30 delivery slot
, so I'm hoping DHL is an improvement on that tomorrow!fingers crossed we get some confirmation shortly and our iphones tomorrow MORNING! lol
I love a joke but messing with a mans iPhone delivery bring back hanging 😂😉
My O2 order updated about an hour ago and I've now got DPD tracking for tomorrow, keep checking!
My order still says:
no sign of any emails or tracking yet!
Arrives Tomorrow and Preparing to Ship
no sign of any emails or tracking yet!
Very good! The best option in fact.
Edit: Just noticed your lol. You were obviously joking.
From memory if you click the tracking number in the top right it should take you to DHL's tracking page
Hi all,
I got an Apple store email, with a DISPATCH notification.
I haven't got any emails from DPD or text regarding the delivery?
Could someone post the DPD email address they received, regarding the delivery, please? So I can search all my Junk mail just in case.
Thanks 😊

I understand that Currys have a reputation that's probably well earned (they've let me down enough in the past!)... But I think there's a lot of (currently) unwarranted worry about the iPhone 12 Pro Max's for tomorrow...
There seems to be this Tweet ( ) tagging Currys, accusing Apple of "really hating them" and saying that they had iPhone 12 Pro Max's for delivery on the 13th, and now they're saying they have none...
Despite there being no evidence of Currys not delivering tomorrow other than one potential DM which could be in reply to this Tweet, which was then subsequently sending another DM to retract that... There's been no other statements, no e-mails going out, phone lines aren't saying they won't be delivered tomorrow, web chat aren't saying they won't be delivered tomorrow. If there was an issue, I'd expect Currys to be getting on top of expectation management early for a launch this big...
Looking at Currys website, some SKUs (like the 512GB Gold here: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/phone...hone-12-pro-max-512-gb-gold-10215626-pdt.html) are still showing delivery tomorrow if you place an order now... Others like the 128GB Graphite were available for delivery tomorrow earlier, but now aren't.
The simple explanation would be that Currys ordered and have an allocation... Some are no longer showing on the website, because that initial allocation has sold out. That's not the same as them not receiving stock for tomorrow's deliveries.
That online chat says that your delivery date is still tomorrow. You may not believe them, and I understand your concern because they said that their stock is arriving tomorrow... So logic would raise the question of how can they deliver if they don't receive them until tomorrow... But when you pressed them, they told you not to worry and you would get your delivery tomorrow...
Most likely, they have stock arriving today or in the early hours of tomorrow... And they haven't filled all of their pre-orders (512GB Gold linked above proves they haven't sold all of their pre-order allocation), and the stock will be being despatched to fulfil orders to arrive tomorrow, and the remaining stock will then be "received" into Currys standard stock systems to be managed and sold for new orders...
I would expect that with a massive launch like this, that phones will be received centrally and they'll be a massive operation bagging up and shipping these phones, with couriers on standby. In the past few years, a lot of us have probably seen courier tracking start at 10pm, 11pm, even 1am or 2am and still reach us the following day.
O2 even have a standard "last order time of midnight for next day delivery" if they have them in stock and ordered Monday to Friday. That's their standard delivery policy... I've ordered a phone from O2 at 23:47 and had it delivered next day. I genuinely didn't think it would work... But it did.
So, at the moment, I think that we probably should all keep our fingers crossed and hope our 12 Pro Max's from Currys will be delivered tomorrow. I have mine and the better half's (256GB Graphite and 128GB Graphite) so I really hope I'm right here... And I want to get our old phones shipped off for recycle payments...
I do reserve the right to be proven wrong here... And Currys have screwed things up before so deserve our caution... But I'd be really interested to know how/where this rumour or knowledge started from in the first place... Because Currys didn't just send a random DM on Twitter to one customer unprompted about there being no 12 Pro Max's being received to be delivered for tomorrow, and there has to be a reason behind the rumour starting... Although at the moment, the caution seems more feelings based than fact based, but willing to revise that if there's more information to understand!

this is annoying, i ordered my phone exactly 1pm when it went live, while all my colleagues at work getting the phone on friday I'm getting it saturday.....
I am in the same boat, received email from Apple but nothing from DPD yet.
Feeling relaxed about it as its DPD and they will come through - likely just updating systems their side.
Would love to see the shipping process in the handling of so many packages for the same day delivery slot!
