An extract from the UFD (Thread I found immensely funny and enjoyable; but was disliked by our overlords)

PROCESSING HELL, THE: Time between a pre order of a device where we have no useful information other than "processing items" which aggravates many users of this forum to breaking point. Usually includes the "Shut up and take my money" meme.
 
I doubt we will see anything this week. I have not seen anyone say they have a pre order delivery for this week. The bulk of people start from the 13th. Could be a case were no stock is going into the country this week.

I have “confirmation” from John Lewis systems (JLS) that 767 units from memory are being delivered on the 10th.
 
Sorry to be a pain but didn’t you have information from inside Apple yesterday that a big delivery was coming for Tuesday. CS will tell you anything to get you off the phone.
Perhaps I trust people too easily, I hope I’m right to do so and would consider mass availability tomorrow possibly from the same delivery to my nearest store. Will try the same questions again for comparison!

As for JLS, again - friendly rep so hopeful the news I want is the truth we get.

Do you know what time orders starts on Friday?
 
I don’t hold out any hope for this, but the Argos app just let me place an order for an SG 256 for delivery tomorrow...

I’m not able to do this, fingers crossed for you!

No, but there is a handy notification tool called iStock linked to in this thread - and you can set up stock notifications on JL website (active for > either 50 or 100 units I believe) it could be any time, or even phased in as done on launch day.

Perhaps if this is genuine could contribute to shipping delays

The scalpers have a decent business plan, buy masses if a product available in limited quantities, but with unlimited demand, sell for a premium of your choice. Doesn’t make them any less of a **** though.

Birmingham is gone. Don't expect something really available with a stock level of 1.
 
It should happen at some point.

But as you speak about it, we're testing something, check you pm.

I’ve had this with JL before and a dishwasher. They showed one in stock but it was the display. Their system used to, not sure if it still does, could display models as stock.

All these stock websites are absolute rubbish imo
