DPD say my drivers GPS is switched off. Thats annoying, maybe the drivers dont like being tracked.
 
anyone know when Apples holiday returns policy kicks in? (i.e where you have until early Jan to return items)
 
Has anyone in the 13-20 club had 2 devices on one order successfully move to dispatched?

Mine is still on Order in Progress but Apple has put hold of £2,298 on my account. So I expect it to change to dispatched by the end of today
 
To those of you who have had phone delivered by UKMail, on the morning of delivery - what options are you given as to changing delivery time/deliver to a specified ‘drop-off’ shop etc?

Thanks
 
I ordered at 09.29 on 27/10.... I initially had a Dec 4 date, been pushed forward to Nov 24th - Dec 1st - Too optimistic to expect this next week (By 17th Nov) quite possibly one week in advance of the 24th Nov date they have provided? SG 64GB...09.29 surely can't be in the same bucket as orders two days later, or maybe they are...
 
How does it take for DPD to take control of the delivery?
12:14 I got the shipment is underway email but nothing on DPD app or apple link as yet to confirm DPD have it & more importantly when they are going to deliver tomorrow! inpatient!! :)
From past experience working with DPD, apple generates the labels first, and when DPD picks up the shipment and scan it, this is when it will show in their systems
 
Same here, except mine was 08:11 and got dispatch email at 10:11 - so looks like they were waiting for 256gb silvers..

Got crappy UKMail tho!

Seems like a few people are now in the same situation. Although mine isn’t a 256GB so maybe the 64GB are shipping after, money taken and I’m on preparing for shipment, not sure how long it’s been on this tho as i didn’t check early this morning.

how long (on average) does it take to go from preparing to dispatch (and taking out the money) to it being dispatched? I'm guessing tomorrow, if that's the case i don't think i will get it Monday (my estimated was 13th-20th) as it will be Friday tomorrow.
got my PFD at 17:20 yesterday - went to dispatched at 11 today - expected delivery tomorrow. So all in all, and from others i have read approximately 48 hours from PFD to delivered.

Wow that’s quick, when I’ve ordered iPhone’s in the past it’s taken a few days with tracking and stuff. If that’s what happens with mine I might get it on Monday then after all.

This year they phones have shipped and become trackable from within the uk. We’ve all be holding on the previous few days wondering when they were going to ship from China, looks like they did just that but not direct to us via UPS as in previous years.

How long before you can track orders via Syncreon?

There’s not much to track with syncreon. That’s just the central depot in hinkey where apple’s shipments from China arrive. From there they’ll get allocated a courier ( this point you’ll get a ‘dispatched’) and then later collected and at this point you should be able to track with your courier.

Anyone rocking no case or screen protector? I’m thinking about doing it as I’ve chipped the InvisiGlass Ultra already in a freak accident...
 
I have an 8:20 confirmation. 64GB Silver. Still says Order In Progress.
Originally had 27th-4th Delivery, which changed to 24th-1st.

Looks like 8:15 phones are preparing for delivery. Hopefully less than 1 week wait for me!

I am in same dates and same status no changes he at all. Ordered silver 256 though
 
Can someone help me please?

Got an email to say my phone was available (upgrading though the iup)

I booked a reservation in store to collect for tomorrow and stupidly I’ve not realised I can’t make the time I booked.

If I just turn up later this evening and explain the situation will they give it to me?


Anyone else advise with this ^
