Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread
- Thread starter Jinjin

I really doubt it, they’re never normally in store until the actual release date. (I realise the X launch is a bit non standard but don’t see why they’d change this aspect of the launch - they still want to sell iPhone 8’s this week!)
My case is now also preparing for dispatch. I think it’s coming via Royal Mail and due for delivery on Wednesday 1st Nov.
Any reason you're not going for IUP? I'm wondering wether to buy outright or go for IUP
My silicon case is preparing for dispatch too. Just wish my 13-20th delivery date on the X would update itself, gonna be a long wait I suspect...
CPW Sim free order ... still taking this with a barrel load of salt but customer service this morning confirmed my order and stated that it should be in store for the 3rd November. Not cancelling Apple order (13-20th November) until I actually have CPW phone in hand!
Vodafone still doing silver iPhone X 64GB for 3rd Delivery or 256GB 1-2 weeks delivery.
I called them and the phone isn't branded and lock is removed after 3 months payment.

You will need to call them when the phone arrives as they will need to test the device. Sounds silly I know but if bought separately (like I did last year) they will run a quick test on the phone.

Exact same situation with dates and a CPW order as this. Not cancelling either order until I know ones on the way! What time did you order with CPW/recieve the second email off them? 256 silver also here.
Funny you should say that, now I know why the son and daughter's iPhone's don't come off.....

I ordered around 8:05 got a confirmation email at 8:14 but haven’t had an estimated delivery date, nothing is showing on in orders on My O2 either. So frustrating because I have 0 idea of how long it will take to be delivered
You can’t trust what EE say. I placed a business order yesterday and have confirmation via email from my account manager it’s guaranteed delivered for Friday. Called them today to place another order for something else and they said, they can see the order in the account. No orders are actually placed or processed until stock comes in. So if your allocated a iPhone vs order than your have your allocation.
Honestly lad, no one know what there doing over there!
But did you have it on your order tracker that it's down to be delivered? as thats what the process goes by. If you only order online and have no tracking info it's not gone through. just an e-mail doesn't seem to be enough. You need to have a tracking number confirmed.

More Carphone Warehouse confusion! Had to ring them as my payment was blocked. Sorted that out and then asked the girl if their phones still locked to the first sim put in. She didn’t really understand what I was on about but went away, asked someone, then came back and said yes, they do lock to the first sim inserted! Need 100% clarification on this. Anyone?
Can I ask how do you know the payment was blocked? Mines showing as being in holding in my bank but not left it if you get what I mean
That's the nature of the beast though, it's "insurance"
You never need it, until you need it....
I’ve just had the one email with order number .. maybe because it’s going to store? No clue! That’s partly why I phoned to confirm and I’ve had four emails from them since yesterday asking if I’d like to proceed with my order which was left in my basket!!
Apple confirmation was 8.10 and CPW was 8.20
Time will tell! Hope the CPW is easy to cancel when/if I need to!
Can’t remember when I ordered but my first email came through 07:53 yesterday, and I received the second 'processing' email at 10:10am yesterday. In theory for collection in store on the 3rd
My preferred one is a CPW 'contract' which is actually sim free discounted with a 12 month VF 20GB plan for £20pm. That should be delivered on the 3rd too, and if so I’ll cancel the other three. Apple order is the slowest at 2-3 weeks but I can trust them. The others are with CPW and VF so who knows if they actually will deliver..
Mine looks like this. You sure you're looking at the right section?
