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

[Vindallo1]

So do you think tomorrow (6am) will be a higher chance of reserving a device?

 

[Jinjin]

My Watch 3 order made that same journey from China, via Korea etc etc as I missed the launch day stock.

It’s been the standard route/pattern in my mind for a number of years. The below is the crazy tracking for my 7+

If you manage to get a reservation do they give you a time to come or can you pick a time?

You pick a slot when you reserve

Exactly the same as mine. Remember panicking as on the 2nd it was still in Germany but got flown over to uk on third, visited 3 uk airports and was with me by 1pm

 

[RupertBear]

Awesome stuff! Where did you find yours this morning, on the IUP reservations or the normal reservations?

I went through the IUP tab in the Apple store app. I think I was just very very lucky to find one in my city. I was speaking the guy in the Apple shop, I don’t know if he was techincally allowed to say this but he said they expecting a lot of stock this week. God knows how he knew but maybe that’s good jews for the people still waiting for movement or looking to reserve.

 

[CJM]

When you reserve can you pre-pay?

 

[Jinjin]

No not for the IUP link.

Thanks for the heads up! I just need to remember to check it tomorrow

I’m sure it’s been mentioned many times... but can I reserve two phones for IUP?

It didn’t give me an option to reserve two, I think if you want two you have to go back through and do it again.

So very lucky, I'm jealous! Tomorrow is the day for me now I have my head round the whole IUP system Thanks for passing on the news! Did they even ask you if you wanted to pay using IUP or did they just process it like a normal transaction?

I was worried you’d say that, but suspected that would be the case

Good stuff, tallies up with what mine told me!

 

[Alware]

Hey

Ordered last Friday and CPW did not send any email updates at all. In fact, I phoned nd they told me estimated delivery was 17th of November so I told them to cancel the order. Somehow it got dispatched and arrived today! Cancelled my apple order and CPW didn’t bother to cancel this order which arrived out of nowhere.

Thanks for getting back to me! This sounds promising for my order. I ordered on Saturday with an estimated delivery of the 10th! Looks like there's a slim chance it will arrive on time, or maybe even early!

Did you get a text from DPD or anything?

 

[stringyb92]

Just read that the 17 - 24 shipments are starting to move.

Pretty sure you can, I think there’s a quantity option somewhere

 

[Jinjin]

Just read that the 17 - 24 shipments are starting to move.

Which ones?

 

[Hermes Monster]

If you can find it, please let me know

If I get one and my wife doesn’t... then she’ll have one and I won’t

 

[azing]

I’m in the same boat. I need to reserve a silver for her and space grey for me.

Thought I’d seen it. Just looked in the IUP reservation for the 8 and it’s there after you select a model and colour.

It becomes a total nightmare when you need to get two.

I actually have two on order with Virgin Mobile, which are supposed to come on Saturday, but having spoken to them they aren’t confident at all. It’s actually not a bad deal compared to some of the crazy tariffs out there, it i’d prefer to get it on the Payments plan and get a SIMO

Ahh excellent, looks like we’re both getting silver then!

Just read that the 17 - 24 shipments are starting to move.

17-24 are the US though. Half of them already got bumped to receive it launch day, today or Wednesday. The rest are just going through now.

IMHO given the amount of stock in the US currently this means nothing for us. I expected some movement for us back when the 17-24 original got bumped but nothing happened, I see no reason why now would be any different :/

He just asked how I would like to pay. No issue at all.
