How long does the apple store take to deliver? UK?

How long does the apple store take to deliver, i want to order an iphone 5 but it says delivered in 3-4 weeks, but thats a long time to wait with no phone because i will have to cancel my cirrent pay monthly sim, but is it really 3-4 weeks? Or is that a safe estimate?

It's a new model and demand currently far exceeds supply.

Many sheep, sorry, people, are having to wait around 5 weeks for their latest overpriced slice of slightly improved Apple.

  • Why is iMessage taking so long to deliver? I've got an iPhone 4s running on ios6. I'm with Vodafone. Recently iMessages have been taking anywhere from 5-20 mins to deliver. They send fine but donets deliver for ages! Also some contact have said I come up as an email address in their phone even though I'm saved as a contact. Why is this?
