If we’re lucky it will be Friday/Saturday things start to move
I got a message in Apple store app for an unsuccessful transaction regarding my order for pickup on Friday 3/11. Tried 2 cards but both failed, hope that they won’t cancel my order till tomorrow morning :/
That would be awesome, I’m also in the 13th-20th delivery window. Hopefully they will be dispatched sooner than expected, but I’m still glad we are able to get them in November.
Weekends never go slow even when waiting for new iPhones! Only consolation is that weeks seem to go quick as well so the next weekend usually arrives quite quickly too!
Thanks to person above who posted the O2 code. Just got £451 locked in on my 256gb 7+. Anyone recent experience with them? Last couple of years I've used Envirofone with no issue. O2 price is nearly another £10 on pice I have locked in on Envirofone.
That said I got an email to extend Envirofone order by 7 days today. When I clicked to accept extension it Saul I now had til 27/10 to send my phone. Unfortunately I don't time travel so will contact them double check it worked.
In other news I ordered a Spigen matt gold case from Amazon today and it arrived this evening. Am pleased with the size as doesn't feel radically different to the plus (though the real test will be seeing the screen side by side). And it fits in a small bag that was too small for the 7+. Happy days. It's the same case that I have on my 7+ but different colour. Currently using the jet black version and hoping that comes out for the X as really liked it.
No because with IUP you’re not paying up front for Apple care. You pay monthly 1/20 a time
I'm bummed we don't get to join in the fun China-tracking game like the US orders! I go to Rome on the 4th so I'm hoping it gets delivered on the Friday
That’s saved for us 2-3 weekers! I’ll happily swap your 3rd delivery for mine if you want to track from China

Wouldn’t worry too much about this. Think it’s a quirk in their system and that date refers to the trade date. Assume you originally locked in on the 20th? In which case it’s this date that has been rolled forward by +7. Had the same thing happen to me before

You pay off the full loan, then trade your phone in to get the better value than the remaining payments being written off would be. This also means you have paid for the full applecare period so you do get that rebated too.

Correct, but the question I was relying to was asking if they upgraded yearly.. assuming that means using IUP as Apple intended

Just tracked down my crazy UPS route from last year.. first scan 27th sept, delivered 3rd Oct - via 7 countries!
Based on this assumption of 6 days transit and a best estimate of apple hitting the 13th from the 13-20 delivery estimate, I could say it leaves China on the 7th. Say it went ‘preparing for dispatch’ 2 days before then it gets me to my guess of seeing order updates around the 5th. Worst case is the come in the 20th which means no update on orders until 12th or so

Sender tendered the shipment to UPS after the latest pickup time for the requested service. A day delay is likely.

And I called Lloyd’s and confirmed that they didn’t decline it. Need to contact Apple tomorrow....
Similar experience with me by DHL last year. Apple uses the slowest service, I assume because they ship in bulk. Because the normal service speed is literally 1-2 days according to UPS Time and Cost/DHL Capability Calculator data.Just tracked down my crazy UPS route from last year.. first scan 27th sept, delivered 3rd Oct - via 7 countries!

Mine declined and then they retried an hour after and it worked - Santander knew nothing about it and I didn’t receive anything from Apple, suggest they have something odd happening!
Are all these for lauch/pickup? I’ve got the pending transaction on my Paypal but not the actual holding charge
But they give you the option to do this? With a 7+ the trade in value is about £70 more than my remaining payments. So on Friday I could ask to trade up and they’d give me £70 plus any Apple care unused rebate? Seems too good to be true!
[doublepost=1509318065][/doublepost]
Me too. 8.02 email. I have a 12pm hoping that any Barclays issues have been resolved by then. Last year I was there all morning and ended up buying my phone outright and coming back the next day and refunded and bought again with iUP.
But you’d then be responsible to close of your account with Barclays for the IUP and then speak to Apple care about refunding the pro rata rate for the unused Apple care minus the cancellation charge.
You pay off the full loan, then trade your phone in to get the better value than the remaining payments being written off would be. This also means you have paid for the full applecare period so you do get that rebated too.

Ok seems like it's a no brainer then.
Another question I have is, if I pay off the loan this week, do you think it'll show on my credit report by Friday? Bit worried than when I go and take out the fresh iUP loan they'll still see the £300 odd loan I already have on there and then refuse me...
