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

Any 13-20’s have their phone still at PFD? I’m 8:15 256GB SG, went to PFD yesterday at 11AM and still stuck there. I’m worried I won’t get it until Monday, unless will be able to pick it up on Saturday from depot UKMail/DPD. What do you guys think?

Almost same as you, except I was 8:16. So annoyed it has been in PFD so long. I don’t expect to see it until Monday.

In the same boat.
Email confirmation 08:15 27 Nov.
PFD since 11AM yesterday.
Money taken from AMEX

 

[owaint]

Yep, same for me PFD since just before lunchtime yesterday on a silver 256 ordered at about 0815

 

[Benny_G]

GG man. Silver 256 is like ****ing gold dust. I've had opportunities to bag other models every morning this week but I'm determined not to spend that much money on the one that I don't really want. Here's hoping another one appears somewhere soon.

Another has just shown up in Manchester! Get it quick

Starting to think about an 8 Plus...

Same. Apparently they don’t do Saturday deliveries so if it dispatches today it’ll be Monday at the earliest.

As I said before, I don’t think they should take money from people’s cards in the morning if they’re not planning to send items till the next day.

Went quicker than a cake at a Slimmers world buffet.

I was just messaged by a new member called fillit who offered to cancel their reservation, having jumped the gun and reserved a 256gb silver when they really wanted a SG. So they offered to cancel their order at a specific time so I could jump on it, that's what that was and it was gone within seconds. Can't actually believe how fast it went. I got all the way to the confirm reservation screen and when it asked for TouchID it failed so I had to manually enter my password and it was probably those vital milliseconds that lost me the phone. Goddamit. Still, there is a moral here about the kindness of strangers, what a good egg!

256 SG in Edinburgh

 

[greentoo]

Mine arrived at the DPD Bournemouth depot at 4:02 this morning. Anyone else the same?

 

[Jinjin]

Not had a chance to catch up with this thread. Did any of that stock materialise based on what the woman at my Apple store told me yesterday?

Indeed what a good egg!! Nice to hear but a shame for you. Should have arranged to do it later in the day when not many constantly refreshing the page...

Good news for iUP customers placed "by 18th November".

I woke up this morning and realised that Apple notification was in my email box (sent yesterday 22:17). My wife and I reserved 64GB Silver and both are ready to be picked up at Bentall Store. Sweeeeet!!

From "2nd December" to "10th November" is a big jump, and I am more than happy.
Our screen protectors and cases will be delivered today, so even better!

See you next year, guys!

Order finally dispatched by UK Mail.
13-20 Nov member, 08:15 order.
Will arrive Monday.

Looks like some of us will actually receive our orders in the stated time frame, so I actually shouldn’t be disappointed!

 

[mac2thefuture]

Does anyone know if UK Mail offer timed deliveries?
Can you track your vehicle throughout the day?
With the info given from Apple, which is the consignment number used by UK Mail (as I can't get any to work).

Thanks

 

[sadsmileyface]

This stock level is nuts. I do not understand how stores are getting 1 phone per day to sell. How is that even working logistically?

Nope. Just the usual stores again

Probably cancellations rather than deliveries.

 

[Sheza]

I don’t suppose anyone knows the answer to this but may as well ask. The following scenario:

Person A picks up iUP reservation but fails the credit check and buys outright.

Person B agrees with Person A later on to pay the monthly iUP fee for Person A.

Person A goes back to the Appl Store within 14 days, refunds the phone, and Person B then goes through the iUP process anew for that Phone.

Is this possible, or just a pipe dream? Does it make a difference if the phone is still sealed or not?

Yep. 4:07 to Durham depot

 

[Jaymd1970]

iStockNow was showing 3 at Cheadle this afternoon so I called them to check and they didn't have any, must have been display devices. Again though, the fella on the phone reiterated about their 1000+ delivery tomorrow and recommended furiously refreshing the website all day. Like I haven't been all week!

I still have a SG 256Gb that I don’t need as wife doesn’t like,if you are still stuck.

Where are you quoting “by 18th November” from?

I’m still sat on a Dec 1st expected date and ordered around 8:10

Thanks mate but I'm after a silver. I know it's only a colour and only superficial but I think I'm done with incremental upgrades and going to keep my X for a few years (at least until the next redesign) so I'm adamant on holding out for the specific one I want so that I don't go through all of this again next year haha. Cheers though!
[doublepost=1510300783][/doublepost]Holy ****, I just got a reservation at Manchester Arndale!!! All hail iStockNow. You guys are invaluable.
