It’s petty, but if they’ve actually delayed delivery the day before it should have been delivered I might just cancel.

I definitely wouldn’t have ordered and paid a premium to Vodafone if it wasn’t going to be a launch day delivery. Feel a bit conned.

I’ve messaged support to see if it’s actually true or a mistake

What time did you put in your preorder on the 13th?

 

[y.pencil]

Has anybody been charged for their preorder yet? Mine is to be delivered 25-30th but nothing taken yet. No hold on the money either.

Same here, not even processed/charged yet, via Apple.

The link in the 'useful (ha!) information about your delivery' email.

I’m incredibly dubious. But support says this

About quarter past one it finally went through after the transaction kept failing for some reason

Doesn’t look as if they can confirm anything

No DPD or DHL notifications for me… hopefully won’t be long though!

Do the people who seem to like upgrading annually actually enjoy this process? Seems like a complete faff and an inconvenience and so glad I only have to do it every couple of years.

It’s like Father Christmas is real and sends push notifications. I both love and hate it.

I’m going to guess those who took the chance with Very like myself aren’t seeing any movement on the tracking? Usually would have seen some movement overnight last night. Guess the 11th of October date going to be accurate!

I have 2 DPD notifications in the DPD app (2 phone orders both Pro) now.

Love the hype but also a lot of hassle lol, I always sell my phone couple weeks before the new one is announced so am using an SE 2 until Saturday 🤣

Best time of year lol

Now I have just got 2nd DPD notification now. So means both iPhone and watch be delivered by them.

I love the highs and the lows of the whole thing. It’s like the best time of the year ever.

 

[chillip]

DPD notification!

 

[Ossyref]

For the first time in a long time I’m not upgrading on launch day this year, I just don’t feel like it’s a big enough upgrade from my 15P. I love this thread every year though and I so excited for you all. Will probably end up with FOMO tomorrow seeing all your pictures and try to pick one up 😂

 

[chillip]

Shame you can’t VIP the DPD parcel

 

[planetf1]

I’m 25-30th window, no movement yet. Hoping for an early delivery!

Same here. No sign of any change beyond processing for 16pm

Ordered at 1310 .. I was ready before 1300 but couldn’t get in annoyingly!

 

[jbuk72]

Shame you can’t VIP the DPD parcel

So many parcels all with excited customers wanting it VIP… it would never work lol.

Classic Vodaclone responses - I’d rather pluck my eyelashes one by one than ever have to deal with their CS

 

[byron_hinson]

EDIT - actually I forgot there is actually an option when setting up your new phone, if your old phone is next to the new one, there will be a popup message asking if you want to transfer the eSIM from the old to new. It's really easy.

Yeah just from all the past upgrades they wipe the old phone before allowing the new one to be setup. I guess I’ll ask before it happens!

My apple watch 10 (42mm) and iPhone Pro (256gb) are both 'Preparing to Ship' and 'Arrives Tomorrow' on the Order page. No messages from DPD yet though.

 

[Macsidia]

I've gotten my information for my new contract with EE, however one thing I've noticed it's showing as the full price rather than the discount that I negotiated last week when I mentioned Three's tariffs, surely that only because it's a new contract and their system has to update. Anyone else have a similar update?

I've also got a message that it's also with DPD which is good. But if my discount doesn't get applied then I'll be returning the phone. Not paying £90 a month for a plan with no extras.
