I'm waiting too. Perhaps there are no pre-orders?
Ah yes that might explain it. Could have been misreported as being preorder from 24th when it’s really just launched on 28th.. will keep an eye out over the day!

I saw on twitter from Beats UK that it will be released at 3pm GMT. I'm assuming Apple will have it at the same time? But i'm also going to check at 1pm, from memory some stuff has recently released at that time.

Got a Friday delivery here too. Surprised myself by how much I’m looking forward to these. Will eBay the Powerbeats Pro and AirPods 2 next but really hoping for a little upgrade on sound quality. I know I’ll love the ANC and Transparency cos I’ve tried the AirPods Pro and it’s brilliant!

Oh no it was free, but at the start when it auto assumed my postcode before signing in it gave an option for a paid Friday delivery or free Saturday delivery.

Think it guessed a postcode beginning with ‘MU’ and would have been maybe £2.99.

Nor did I — paid the £4 because I'm very impatient! Although I did notice when I accidentally added two pairs to my basket, express delivery on Friday was free.

figured most times apple always delivers next day on items.
Fingers crossed for a speedy delivery!

I've had a few Apple orders arrive on launch day even though the delivery date was the next week. IME they tend to play it safe but if stocks lands in the warehouse it's out for next day delivery, so fingers crossed for everyone too :)

Am I right in thinking the store pick up option will be available on Friday? My wife’s looking to get a pair and we will be in Birmingham on Saturday

Would be very surprised if you couldn't. Apple usually pretty good with launch day stock except for a few exceptions from recent memory.

agh! Hope that changes for you. I still think it will be tomorrow for you. I cancelled my original order on Wednesday and made a new one getting delivered to a store down my street because it was free express delivery. hopefully we’ll both have them tomorrow!

You were right! They did come today after all. Good luck with yours, loving these already!
