There's a lot I can't do with my work MacBook. Not my decision!

Besides I promised my fiancee I'd keep this pixel for a few years...

Mine was already in Auckland when I got the shipped info. Getting it today instead of Monday. DHL seem very efficient.

Well that was a lovely surprise, the NZ Post courier just showed up with my One NZ order — even though I'm yet to receive any sort of tracking info from One!

Also interesting that he beat the DHL guy with my backup order direct from Apple…

Weird - a little worrying if you had any issues with the order that there was no tracking or proof, but alls well that ends well I guess!

I wonder if I will get the same nice surprise here - I placed my One NZ order in the wee small hours of 13th (Pro Max, Orange, 1Tb) and like you, didn't get a tracking number yet.

My wife ordered her 512Gb Pro direct from Apple (in the boring colour) and got hers DHL first thing this morning.

Got the text message from 2 degrees store this morning so all collected now.
Will put the screen protector on later today and start the migration process, which I'm hoping is pretty honed in these days.
Used to suck and take a day or so to re establish everything.
See whatsapp has a direct migration option without icloud now for iphone and android too.
At least not changing numbers, that always added another iphone day delay until the number ported properly.

Anyone had trouble with the Spark App ordering system. I ordered the 17 pro max on the 14th through the app on our account, and paid the $99 deposit through the link on the app. Gave my work address for delivery. Got an email back within 15 min, order received but need to confirm address as it is different to our home address. I confirmed it's work, then they wanted confirmation of payment, which I sent. Now nothing back since then. Sent wo follow up emails and still no confirmation. Currently on the app waiting 30 min for a response. Will need to go into a store I think lol.

Grabbed a 17 Pro from Übertec this morning with no pre-order. It’s a beast of a phone, upgrading from a 13.
Automatic transfer eSIM (Rocket mobile) didn’t work, solution was just to delete the eSIM off the 13 and load onto the 17 using the QR code (screenshotted) from the Rocket app. Once I had the right process it took 10 seconds.
Grabbed the tech woven case and it’s very nice.
Cheers,
Joseph

...aaand yes, exactly the same for me!

Just arrived - no tracking or even confirmation it had been shipped and no signature demanded either!

Still can't say that I am not happy to have got it, when I was expecting a delay.

I had the same issue with the Spark ordering system. It kept thinking I was a bot and then rejecting human verification, managed to order it with no deposit somehow. Eventually sorted via chat on the Sunday but then issues again on Tuesday which turned out to be because I used my work address. Eagerly waiting to see if it might arrive today!

Lol I had the same issue with it thinking I was a bot. An hour on the app and still no response. I guess they would be busy today, but they have had almost a week to sort this. Maybe I will get a surprise and it will just turn up like it has for some others on here haha
