I was once told by an Apple employee that they don’t get deliveries on Tuesdays which would tie in with this morning’s availablility.
Looks like one bloke in Birmingham neglected to pick up his 64gb SG yesterday but that’s about it.
Hopefully a better haul tomorrow to make up for it

I tried the app today and didn’t get a sniff of anything.
All denominations were greyed out all of the time!?
Ah well at least I’m part of the UK 6am wide awake club with you guys!

Yup, I checked with Apple live chat too and they said that would be fine.
One bit of advice I read was to go through the paperwork first (in case you don’t get accepted) then refund and complete
I have been hoping the same since Saturday. even Sunday was better than todays lot
Oh, really?
You’ve probably told me this before - does it technically get refunded first and then the stock they use for the iUP is the one they refunded? I think we had some discussion about whether you’d lose the phone for good if you happened to fail the credit check
Someone had said to do it the other way around, start the paperwork and if your accepted, refund and use the handset for IUP
So one thing I’ve learned is not to trust anything sketchy from customer service...
So they can do the check before allocating you the phone? Given that, at that point, they'd have no stock in... I wonder if the POS device would let them?
Yesterday at Superdrug I had a coupon for £5 off and they wouldn't let me use it because the item I was buying was £4.99 and the cash register said it was 'over tender'.
If you’ve already ordered from them then you should receive it on the date received on the confirmation email but I wouldn’t bother asking customer services as you’ll be told one thing one day and another by someone else. I was told mine would come on the 3rd then the 10th and the 17th but it turned up on the 3rd so they don’t have a clue when your order will come.
FWIW this morning was going to be slim pickings. Assuming most stores are the same then anything available would be left over from the launch allocation that had either been cancelled or not picked up. The store I worked at previously never got deliveries Sunday’s/Monday’s.
Even if a big delivery came in today, it wouldn’t be for another few hours meaning it wouldn’t have made the 6am cut. Fingers crossed for tomorrow eh?

General Apple refunds are 14 days even if it’s open. I’m not going to open it myself just to keep it simple
Indeed, I’ll have to pop in to store and triple check but I’ve not so far heard a comment saying they couldn’t do this, so sounds positive
That was based on a comment here of someone who went through the process. Will try dig out the post here... tricky to find given the ~12k comments
Argos still reckon they will be delivering my X on Saturday the 4th when you check their systems....
I doubt we will see anything this week.
Most people pre orders were for the 23th onwards. Haven’t seen anyone say they have a pre order for this week. So I don’t believe any stick will be coming into the country.
