I ordered mine around 12:10am so basically as soon as they went on sale. I've a gold 32gb ordered though and there is a little delay. Originally it said expected delivery 7th to 10th October so 8th is pretty spot on, hopefully earlier. It also said info may take 48hrs to update.

I was really, really tempted to buy the gold 32GB 5S online via the UK store as soon as it was released. I had it in the basket about 3 minutes after launch. However, I was too much of a fraidy cat to use Parcel Motel for such a high value item. I've used them for lots of other things but the insurance limit of €100 put me off. I'd be really interested to know if it all works out okay for those of you choosing this method of shipping. Gah, I wish PM had a higher insurance limit - I'd have no problem paying for it when necessary. In the meantime, I'll just observe from chicken corner here.

Same here and apple site says Preparing for Dispatch

Happy to see that the Parcel Motel is going well, it would not be in their interest to 'misplace' any apple package, apple have tracking for it and its signed for by parcel motel so we would know that they have it. Parcel Motel also know what driver has the package and what van its in. It would be very easy to track down a 'lost' package it it came down to it.

It would also really hurt their business as if it happened to me everyone that would listen (newspapers,radio etc) wound hear my story

Parcel Motel is a new and very profitable system and they would not want to hurt that in any way

Can I ask what size iPhone people on here have ordered I'm in the market for

32gb space grey but wonder would I get a 16gb faster.

I know that rationally and that I'm being a total chicken. My loss, I suppose. I'll still use PM for pretty much everything else I get online - they've saved me a *fortune* in P&P.

Good to hear you got your phone Captain Morgan. Enjoy the new-fangled goodness.

They've taken my money anyway so hopefully it's dispatching over the next few days!

Ordered on the 21 of September still no word from apple you think they are made with solid gold.
At this stage I might spray paint my 5 gold.

Mine was out for delivery on Thursday and Friday, but there was a mess up on the Irish fone number that I supplied , as the courier was trying to contact my friends house in NI
with a Irish contact number...been put back out for delivery next mon/tues

As for PM........I use them a LOT.....
Never had anything go missing....but as A lot of guys say here Apple only guarantee up to delivery of 1st address after that PM has the package insured only to 100euro....

I was going to use PM for delivery of my fone , but went with my m8ts sisters address in NI.....

Mine seems to be stuck in Germany at the moment. Delivery date has been pushed from Friday to Wednesday now. Strange.

There is a warning on the apple website that due to the change in camera the iPhone 5 covers may affect taking pictures.

Jofspring

First time using parcel motel so wondering how long is there usually between them receiving your package and notifying you they have it?

Mine was scanned at the same time
They must be together

The apple site for me has an ETA of the 11th OCT
UPS has an ETA of the 8th OCT
Looking at the map the UPS center in 20 mins drive from PM, so there is a chance they may get it today
Depending on the time PM get it you may have yours tomorrow and I may have mine tonight (Dublin)

But as apple and UPS have dates from tomorrow onwards, getting it today would be a big bonus

The Ayatolla

Yeah same ETA here. Ups for me have always been a day quick though a

Jofspring

Mine showing the same times as above do ours must be in a batch together. I'd say most of us outside of Dublin will get them tomorrow.
