I ordered 64GB Gold within first 30 secs but no update. Still showing processing. I think UK online orders are given lower priority by Apple.

I live in the UK and ordered via the apple website literally at 12am when the online store opened. I had completed my order and had an email confirmation by 0004hrs.


Straight away the dispatch date was 7-10day and delivery time by 7th-10th October! That indicates that apple don't even have any stock at thier distribution centre. I'm not sure if they have a distribution centre in the UK but I'm guessing this order is coming from abroad somewhere since the delivery time is so long.


I am dissapointed with how apple have released the iPhone. Either they have had supply problems, or, they have delibrately done it this way to build up a sense of hype.


I have several friends who have switched to the darkside picking up Samsungs Galaxy S4. I must admit I have looked at them and seriously considering cancelling a switch myself.


Anyone else from the UK heard anymore on thier order?

A long story...

Logged into AT&T about 15 minutes before midnight. At about 12:03, when the website updated, put the iPhone 5s, Silver 32gb into the cart. The monthly plan defaulted to the prepayment plan which was not what I wanted. Went 'back' in the Safari browser and selected the regular 2 yr commitment plan and into the cart. I submitted the order at about 12:15. I then noticed the phone had defaulted to a gray 16gb 5s which would not make the wife happy. Of course, there was no way to do anything about it at that time.


Next morning I call AT&T, on hold for about 20 minutes.Finally a nice fellow with an accent comes online. I explain, he says we need to delete the order then I can re-order. He was able to delete the order, evidently without any issue.


I go back on to the AT&T site and order the correct phone and plan. BAM. DONE. Get an email saying the rder was accepted. 1 minute later I get an email the order WAS CANCELLED!


Placed the order again with a different credit card. Order accepted. Order CANCELLED 2 minutes later.


Tried a 3rd time. Same result. Went to the AT&T website where an erro showed saying I had already placed an order and couldn't place another.


Called AT&T (another 20 minute hold) and got another nice person who was unable to figure out what was happening. He suggested I wait a few days to see if the problem cleared up. I told him NO because the wife's power button on her phone no longer was functional and if it died she's be out of a phone. He said he would escalate the problem. I'm then placed on HOLD for 20 minutes. April answered the phone who evidently works in an Apple facility. She couldn't figure out what was causing the emails, but pushed an order with priority through the system.


After talking with her, I received an email confirming th eorder. I went back to the AT&T website and the order was there along with 2 cancelled orders and THE ORIGINAL ORDER STILL SHOWING ACTIVE!


I decided to wait. The next day I got an email that the phone had shipped. 2 minutes later I got an email the order was cancelled! I followed the tracking of the shipment and it looked like it was working out.


Got the phone yesterday despite the emails, despite the multiple cancels. If you're having an issue, ask for the problem to be escalated.
