Cracking website, and really helps us poor souls trying to find stock! One question, on the main page it gives an activity log, and is currently updating with Argos stores all round where I live, although Argos dont have stock. Can you just give me a brief explanation as to what that activity page means! I might be misunderstanding it!

We just enabled Argos tracking for the X, online and stores.
Online, Argos gives a positive on one model :(

You're 100% sures the listed Argos stores have no stock right now ?

Also in the 13-20 camp here.

I was hoping for a slight improvement as I'm off to the US on holiday on 11th for 5 weeks! Still, at least the trip will take my mind off it!

Unless I can get something at 6am tomorrow..!

(In hindsight I could probably have waited and got one in the US, but wasn't sure if I could get SIM free over there!?)
 
Ok I just saw this somewhere so hopefully not the dire 6 days: "Yeah I think it's around 24hrs or less. I originally had the 26-28 delivery estimate, but then it went to preparing shipment yesterday and now today it is scheduled to arrive the 19th (with tracking info and everything from ups)"

Yea I got all excited and spoke to Argos on live chat, and they said they won't have anything til the 20th November.

I went on the website, and couldn't find anyway to reserve them! When I saw my local stores appear I was very giddy
 
How certain are you the JL Stock listed is not a display model? Looking at Oxford street as it’s a bit of a hike but I could do it!

We're absolutely not certain that's available, this is what their system is listing as "available".
But would it be a display model, probably most of the stores would be listed.

I would not rush the store based on this, but could walk in and see.
 
Wonder if it’s any chance to get iPhone from closest JL but probably not

Based on my shipping last year it took a week from doing PFD to getting my hands on it
Yeah got some more data on shipping time frames:

For my friend:
Her estimate was 4-10 Oct
Preparing for dispatch on 23 Sep (Still said 4-10 Oct est.)
Dispatched 24 Sep (Updated to say 4 Oct)
27 Sep got UK tracking (Updated to say 28 Sep)
Arrived 28 Sep

For me last year:
My estimate was 27-29 Sep
Preparing for despatch 16 Sep (Updated to say 20-22 Sep)
19th Sep got UK tracking (Updated to say 20 Sep)
Arrived 20 Sep

Hope that help some people on forum who've been asking about shortened deliveries and time frames.

If they were the same as last year we 13-20 people would be getting it tomorrow :( :(

Did anyone order from Virgin Media? Their order tracking is the dirt worst, in that it just doesn’t exist! My order said it would arrive on 11/11 but I have absolutely no way of checking of that date has changed.

I’ll be checking Apple at 6am everyday anyway, just in case
 
Is that what it says on his Yodel tracking system?

This is what he got

That’s what happened to me last year. I was hoping the same would happen this year. I think we’ll get them during next week though.
 
I mean I do have my Yodel tracking number - they gave it to me. It still says the iPhone is with Argos.
