The Nice Man at UPS says a note in the window should do it provided the wool shop is not too far away. He also said My Mo will arrive today. And I have to go to work. :(

Mine is due today, the van is on it's way. but I have to go to work ;-(
on the plus side my local UPS depot thing, is just the other side of town. I only hope that they have a sensible collection window at the end of the day.

I am putting something in the window. Apparently it depends how far away the wool shop is. They have a limit how far the drivers are willing to walk. Especially carrying something as big and heavy as an n900!

Hi L11 I am in exactly the same boat my order was placed 20/10/09.
No Email, package not on UPS. Guess they just didn't get around to mine.
I am sure it will go out this morning. Fingers crossed I might get it before the weekend, but I am on standard delivery so probably not much chance.

Oh that must be frustating! Mine has a long way to travel since it left East Mids. Assuming it does that bit by road, we're talking 6-7 hours at least. I don't expect it to reach Bodmin before lunchtime. Then I may be near enough to a computer to check every half hour and quit work early once it gets a 'departure' scan.

I'm miles away this morning, but this afternoon am at base only a mile away. :)

Same boat guys. Had notification email, but no shipping email. I do have std delivery and have ordered extra battery. Nothing come out of my CC though either. Called yesterday and asked about status they said it should have shipped last night. I will call later today (10 am UK) and ask again. If you guys get any info please post.

To the people who have just got or about to get N900 in the UK, photo or it didn't happen. If you can pull the same smug expression as convulted then you will get extra karma. If you are camera shy then simply a photo of your N900 unboxing would be awesome.

Thanks and good luck ;)

Mine is stuck on the M42 in the Rush hour. It had it's 'departure scan' from East Mids at 5:35. Allowing that it left shortly after that, it'll be lucky to make UPS Bodmin by lunch time. Though it's only got about 45 mins once it gets there.

I'm going to print out a page using the UPS logo to stick in the window telling the delivery driver to take it to the WOOL SHOP and not the charity shop. There'a already a notice on the door, but they seem able to ignore that. I might also drop a note through the charity shop door, asking them to tell any deliveries to go to the wool shop. ;)

Isn't it a shame they can't activate the GPS so we could watch our n900s actually travelling!

There is a freight route by air from East Midlands to Exeter you know - might just hop over that hurdle!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Mine has shipped! In retrospect I should have paid for speedy delivery because now I'm not banking on getting it until next week. Ha! Bumhug!

Oh, and one for the conspiracy theorists: I had a 30% discount. I guess you just have your banks and, to some extent, the delay between Nokia taking your information and payment to blame. Plain old boring Incompetence rather than exciting maliciousness, sorry.

ALL THOSE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM MPD, I HAVE ONE

Here is a chat log message when I contacted them today at 9:20amGMT

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly.
Webshop Customer Help says:

Lee Johnson says:

Webshop Customer Help says:

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
A freight route to Exeter? The question being then whether UPS actually use it. If so, there's still a few hours to lose with loading and unloading. I'll worry when it reaches the Bodmin depot: then it's a-comin' home.

Tick Tock - Tick Tock - Tick Tock

Spoke to UPS and they are not able to narrow down the delivery time ...... Gotta sit here and wait .... and wait .... Hope it not near the 7PM side of life.

But on the positive side I should have it today, within the next 9.5 hours !

I just got a shipment email at 9:14am!
Guess they just didn't get around to it last night.
UPS doesn't have the information on it yet.
I suspect it will wait till the end of the day for a flight.
Then be with me tomorrow or friday.
Sadly I probably won't be at home to recieve it.
Tell me what methods were succesful in getting UPS to leave the parcel.

Not sure if they do another delivery in the afternoon like Royal Mail in my area.
