Sounds like yours is a day or so behind mine. If you check now I wouldn't be surprised if it's sitting with mine at 'released to carrier'

I take it you don't know what's going on with yours now? That's nearly a week it's been in the UK isn't it?

Yeah. From what I saw on the forums it seems it's normal to be at port of entry/awaiting dispatch to dealer for up to a week.
