Other UK iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max (2020) Orders and Dispatch Thread

[dbrose]

Same here. People says going south.
In my case, totally goes north. I am just few hours away from Hickney and not sure why Ryton though!

Am sure that is one of the old UK Mail and now DHL main sorting hub. Mine has arrived there and now waiting for it to make its way to Middleton.

Mine says 1137 which is when it arrived in Ryton - the second step on the Syncreon website

pretty poor service from DHL

 

[Stote1]

Managed to buy one one hour ago and delivered tomorrow

This can’t be right... Syncreon is saying 16th delivery date but DHL have sent me a text saying it’s due tomorrow and apple also states it’s due tomorrow. I pre ordered with the 13th delivery date so why’s it saying this..

Mine says 13th, but my order status says ARRIVE TERMINAL.
It’s probably systems still catching up, as if DHL have text you, they have your parcel and I wouldn’t worry.

I've harassed the poor curry's CS again and they say my order is now coming on Monday. Makes sense as I haven't heard a thing from DPD yet.

Just received my dpd for tomorrow there’s plenty time yet

not to far from me, I am Abbey Hey / Gorton

I’m still waiting. Mine still says “arriving Saturday”. Surely they can it deliver first day like many other retailers?

They probably only get the stock themselves tomorrow from Apple/Syncreon then they will despatch through their own network. The likes EE, Curry’s, Very will leave it to Syncreon to sort.

749? Edu pricing?

That’s before VAT but yeah I did get education pricing (wife and I both work in education).

Yeah they did send a text and on their website it does say delivery for tomorrow, so here’s hoping it comes.

Anyone know if you have to unpair the Apple watch before you migrate to your new phone or if it switches to the new phone automatically when you restore from iCloud?

 

[IlikeTeaMe]

When would you say is a good time to tell your other half you've dropped more than a grand on a phone you don't really need? Any suggestions?

It’s automatic now. You’ll get a notification on your watch asking if you want to use it with your new iPhone. It’s seamless.

New Years Eve when they’re completely drunk. Or any time when they’re drunk. Or when you’re drunk

I’ll be in all day. I’m one of the sad ones who booked the day off. I’ll be up and ready before 8am sitting by the front door.

That must make me sad too 😆

Never! 🙃

 

[Browno01]

Just upgraded my EE Delivery from DPD for 08:30-10:30 delivery 😊

 

[dbrose]

Tracking on both added to Parcel - same device. Not two separate phones.

 

[Polaroid]

Having the worst luck... no handset from O2 tomorrow... It’s the plug accessory I added to cart.. FML. I hate life.

 

[markhort]

Anyone receiving a delivery from EE tomorrow via DPD? Seeing that we need to provide ID? Anyone know if this is the case as it weren't mentioned when ordering over the phone on Friday!

I myself aint home when delivery arrives.. I've rang EE who say that its correct ID will need to be presented.. Anyone really know if this is the case?

Yeah this is normal. However from my passed deliveries, they don't always ask for it unless it's on the delivery documentation.

Here's your options... Use one or more of these tips to solve the problem.

1. Stick to the same size iPhone when you upgrade, and updgrade every year or two. Unless your other half loves iPhones as much as you, they're probably not going to notice you've had a new phone... And if they love iPhones as much as you, you should both upgrade and then that solves the problem...

2. Get the same case as your old case for your old iPhone. Further stealthiness...

3. Say work got you a new phone...

4. Buy them a new iPhone, too... As their main Christmas present. Two birds, one stone, and all that. Get a monthly (ideally interest free) payment scheme of some kind if you need to spread the cost. Multiple iPhones gets expensive.

Good luck!

Thank you - I remember it being a pain a few times with my Series 3 but got the new watch a couple of months ago and first time using it with the iPhone 11 but haven't done an upgrade cycle yet with it.

There is never a good time in my experience

 

[marlman]

Not looking good for me still nothing from Curry’s do you think there is still time?
