iPhone 4S UK Delivery

I have read they had 2 dates to ship out the phone one of them was Tusday and the other one is this Thursday. so I am guessing we will not see any change till tomorrow.

I am guessing if they are going to ship them on thursday the phone must be shipped from within the UK to get to us in time for friday.

Hi all,

Same situation where my credit limit is reduced for the amount that the phone cost - so that is positive.

On a slightly more negative note, I've just spoken to Apple directly as I was worried about the phone being delivered to my work over the weekend (office is closed)

They said that the phone is being shipped from overseas, and hasn't been dispatched yet. As it is coming from overseas, it will take 5-6 days usually

Also, they don't deliver over weekends. So, my office delivery problem is sorted but it looks very unlikely that I'll be getting this by friday as my order still says "shipped by 14th October"

A bit annoying actually because if I had known that I wouldn't get it on the 14th, I may have tried my luck at an Apple Store on the highstreet!

Hi all,

My experience with Apple's shipping is that it only takes a couple of days to arrive from China. I ordered an iPad 2 and the delivery estimate reduced by quite a few days, and it took a lot less time to reach me than I originally expected.

Perhaps we might still get ours by Friday, though with the comments on other threads, this looks unlikely.

Still can't get how the Germans got theirs today, when I ordered mine before 10.00am last Friday. I'd have ordered it much earlier, but the website was 'undergoing maintenance' and I couldn't get through on the phone as there was a fault.

No UK orders shipped before 14th. Told this morning off Apple rep to expect delivery Tuesday or Wednesday.

Regretting your purchae before it arrives doesn't bode well.

Yet again, us on our relatively small island are having to wait for a new product, when the big boys (US, Germany etc) get theirs before us.

We can always console ourselves a little by downloading ios 5 for our existing products from tonight onwards!

wonder if this mean the apple stores will have there iphone4s if it takes extra time to get the phones in the UK 😉

I can't realistically see that the UK stores WON'T have stock for Friday, or just think of the adverse publicity that Apple would receive! As far as those, like us, who have ordered online, well, we're money in the bank for Apple and it won't really matter if our deliveries are late - the queues outside the stores is what they want to see and what they want others to see. The hundreds of thousands of people who have handed over their hard-earned money EARLY so they can get their hands on the latest iteration of their product as close as possible to when it's launched, aren't really going to make the headlines on Saturday morning.

You never know. It could be that our phones are on their way, and Apple are keeping the shipping and delivery information secret to give us a lovely surprise on Friday!

I guess if u realy want a Iphone on the 14th. you can always pop down to the shop try and get one. the min you do u can cancel your order. that if they have not already taken the money of you or shipped out the phone by then.

OMG my friend just called me up saying there is a small package here for you. (i got my iphone delivered to his business address). of cource it was him messing with me. he got me good. even tho deep down i already new he was lieing to me.

just been on the apple website and went thought the process for ordering up an Iphone4s and this is what i got

Dispatched — 1 - 2 Weeks

Delivery — 20 Oct, 2011 - 27 Oct, 2011 by Standard Shipping.

I dont remmeber seeing this when i orderd my phone up.(the delivery dates)

I really don't have the time or inclination to travel to Manchester (my nearest store) and queue up for who knows how long, just to get my hands on one on the launch day. However, I assumed (shouldn't have done so!) that by preordering a couple of hours after the shop opened, that I would have received mine on the 14th. It seems that I'm going to have to be patient.

Just seen your edit. So at least you would expect that those of us who ordered on the first pre-order day, should receive them early next week, like other posters have indicated.
