Looks like I'm another one screwed by the Argos debacle. Any changes of JL stores getting stock?

The twitter feed suggest stores would have ‘some’ stock but weren’t giving indecision or stock levels. Just said to go in and try
 
Also stung by Argos. No sign of JL 256GB stock. Hopefully the 13-20 Nov orders will begin to move soon. Even PFD would be nice to see!!
 
I have spoken to Argos across three platforms - Twitter, Live Chat and Phone. Now awaiting the managers call to discuss these problems.
 
Now my JL has been dispatched there’s no more tracking events to obsessively following until they next tell me it’s ready to collect. I’m hoping they make it to the store earlier than 2pm!

Queried with JL chat - no nearby stores have stock either.. Dammit I should have just gone there this morning.
 
Still waiting on UKMail. Great use of a day off...
Me too; any tracking detail has disappeared from their site now too.

Still, I've made good use of my day, so don't see it as a wasted day (I'd have wasted more of it if my phone had bene delivered at 9 this morning, that's for sure).

Glad we switched to 300mbps cable broadband last month too; will just set up as a new phone from scratch.

Well so far I have had a nightmare trying to secure one of these phones.

I was ready and waiting for the Apple pre-order launch but the store failed to load for me until approx 08:10 at which point I managed to order a 256gb SG but not until the 13-20 Nov.

I then ordered another from CPW as they were stating launch day delivery however i was later advised I would not be getting it on launch day (i think it had moved to the 10th, if i recall correctly) so cancelled the order.

Very early this morning I ordered one from Argos as they were stating delivery tomorrow, I also confirmed with one of their advisors that the order had gone through and I would receive tomorrow with Yodel, sadly this afternoon I had an email to say that wasnt going to happen, slipped to the 8th - 24th. So another order cancelled.

I then checked back with JL and noticed 256gb SG was back in stock so managed to order one, checks have gone through and money taken. I have spoken with an advisor who has told me that its been picked, so I think its all good for a for a store collection tomorrow (I HOPE).

I have never had to fight so hard to spend so much on a phone hahahaha.

Hope you are all enjoying your shiney new toys!! (well those that have managed to grab one).

At least you managed to bag one! what time did you place your JL order?
 
Killing myself that I missed the extra stock over on JL. I was bloody mowing the lawn.
 
For some reason I can't track the driver with DPD for this order? Any one know why? All I can see is the scheduled delivery timeframe.
Me too. I've spoken with DPD again though who have spoke with the local depot. Turns out the wife is also due a parcel and they're together on the same van, so I'm going by the delivery estimate for her (non iphone) package...
