it can now be pre-ordered from swisscom

These are the prices that swisscom suggests to me

Apple is in maintenance mode because the new iPads are being presented at today’s conference… As far as I’m informed, as well as on Apple.com, the iPhones won’t be available to order until the day they go on sale…

Does it actually make a difference whether I order it here online or at my local Swisscom shop. I was in a branch today and ordered the iPhone 5S there and the nice lady told me that I was the first to reserve one of the new iPhones and would therefore be the first to be included in the first delivery.

Will iPhones ordered online be shipped first?

Thanks and greetings

Hello SuisseP

We will deliver orders according to the first-in-first-out principle, and we do not differentiate as to which channel the devices are ordered through.

Best regards

If you ordered it in the shop, you probably need to pick it up?

I have already ordered twice from the online shop. And every time the iPhone arrived 2-3 days late.

That’s why I’m going to go to the Swisscom shop in person on Friday and buy one directly.

Yes, I was in the shop today. However, I asked specifically and the very friendly lady told me that she only found out from the shop the day before when the delivery would arrive. And she made the following example:

If the iPhones hit stores on October 25th, they would receive a notification from the store on October 24th. On the night of October 24th to 25th, at 00:00 a.m. an email will automatically be sent to everyone who has ordered an iPhone from this shop that it is ready for pickup.

I had to give my email address and what surprised me a bit is that she said I was the first to order the iPhone from this shop. So in the best case scenario I could go by on Friday and pick it up…

Addendum:
I don’t assume that the new iPhones will be in the shops on the 25th…

Then I’ll better order one from the Swisscom shop tomorrow. I also hope I can pick it up directly on the 25th

However, it may also be the case that a lot of orders have already been placed in the shop of your preferred shop and then the rule is “the faster it is faster” and you may only be taken into account for the second delivery…

My iPhone 5s 16 GB was just sent by post 😉

Please avoid unnecessary status/shipping messages here!

I have to admit, it had a certain entertainment value for me… I watched in fascination as people almost despaired when nothing changed on the delivery status display for a few hours…;-)

I’m sorry. I guess I hit a sensitive nerve there:smileytongue:

It’s a shame, I would have liked to see reports like this 😉

This is about the new iPhones, why shouldn’t we be allowed to make reports like that? It’s clear that not everyone should post their status, but it’s interesting for others to know that apparently the first iPhones were sent… Or when the first people received their piece of jewelry.

And otherwise you could open a new topic “My order status”. 😉

Last year the forum was completely trashed by the new iPhone and that’s certainly not the idea since the forum was actually created for those looking for help with problems.:smileywink:

In my opinion it’s ok if it’s only in 1 thread. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to open a thread for spontaneous questions and chatting like in other forums!

If a special section “Discussions about the iPhone” has already been created here in the forum, you will probably also be able to discuss orders and delivery times in a thread!

Little note:

Also take a look at the iOS app “My Swisscom”.

The Android version is spared from this and cannot benefit from it.

Aporpo: I got it on September 10th. Pre-ordered a 5S from Mz and can pick it up tomorrow.:smileywink:

Why shouldn’t we be able to discuss delivery times, this thread is exactly for that! If you don’t want to read along, you won’t be forced to.

A new thread can and should be opened for specific problems.

So:
I got it on October 23rd. ordered 5s gray 64GB, so far there isn’t even a delivery date given.

Has anyone had more success?

Yes, me 🙂

I ordered on October 22nd - 64 GB, silver, I got the device delivered yesterday at 8 a.m.
