Ipad UK Stock

Hi,
Not sure how many people from the UK use this forum but would love to hear experiences from people who have been on Apples instore 'priority lists'.
I've been on the priority list (for a 3G 32GB) at Milton Keynes for about a week, how long has everyone else had to wait on the list before receiving the email?

Anybody on here managed to purchase one from PC World since the initial launch, was told to check their web page for stock but it appears all stores are showing out of stock, have a gift cert so waiting rather than the apple store, asked in store and was told no stock and not sure when (strange way to run a business!). Assume as apple store is showing 7-10 days the stock levels in the UK are low / nil?

Yes I managed to walk in and pick up a 16gb wi-fi a week after launch even though their online store stock checker said they didn't have any.

I returned it in a week as I really wanted a 3G so last week I called the Cambridge store and they'd just had a delivery of all versions so I just waltzed in again and picked up a 32GB 3G !

It seems stock is coming in and people are buying them before the website gets updated.

Your best bet is to get the number of the business (sayNoto870) section of your local store and just call them each day around 10am.

Do you mean to Currys/PCworld in Teesside park? You JUST missed out. I reserved one online on the 2nd of July (32gb WiFi) and waltzed in and was about to walk out of the shop with one in hand until my card was declined because Capital One are RUBBISH! After sorting the issues out with them, I returned later in the day but by then they were all out of stock.

Unfortunately a reservation doesn't last if you try to buy it and get declined, so my reserved iPad was sold sometime on Thursday afternoon. By Friday they must have been out of stock completely!!

Bad times.

Maybe I'm just lucky. I reserved one at Apple Exeter, but googled 'PCWorld iPad' and went through their in stock pages. Found one at Weston Super Mare (50 miles) and checked via phone there was a real one in store. Picked it up (64gb) 2 hours later. Several 'local' PCW stores were out, but keeping an eye on PCWorlds 'collect in store' page helped. The W-S-M guys were surprised there was a stock problem, they had 10 or 11 in!. Mine' in Exeter will be free for somebody when they come in, enjoy it.

PS It is worth a long wait, and my daughter agrees with me!
