One the track your order you can change your delivery day/window to suit. Some of them come with a charge, eg. you can have it before 10:30am but it will cost you £10.

Ah right I need it in the afternoon really, I don’t mind paying if I have to just don’t really fancy leaving it with a neighbour.

There was an afternoon option, maybe 12:30-4:30, for £5 on mine. I remember when I preordered the 6s direct from Apple though, the DPD delivery couldn’t be upgraded at all.

Yeah didnt want to that just yet incase my slot is in the afternoon anyway but if I can change after I get the one slot that’s okay
Oh, I don’t think you can do it after you’re given your slot

Ah damn :/
 
For everyone who ordered through O2, what colour did you order?
I was on the O2 website from 7:30 last Friday and Space Grey was showing 3 weeks delivery.
The website wouldn’t accept my card, so I’ve had to order through the shop but it doesn’t get delivered to the 4th October!
 
Just had my email to say my iPhone 8 Plus and watch are ready for collection tomorrow.

iPhone is between 9-9.30, watch between 10-10.30. I'm planning to arrive to store for 9.15 and hoping they'll let me get both at the same time.
 
Anyone actually going to the Apple Store Bromley?!!! My Reservation is between 9-9:30am tomorrow - hopefully there won't be stupid queues there!!!!?

I worked in Bromley when the 6 was released. I remember the queue going from the front doors to Intu across the pedestrian space and then down the road towards what used to be the sneaker store. The line was so long that I missed out on getting one from the store and paid £50 in overs to some dude who managed to buy bags of them! (think he was paying people to queue for him)

I'm collecting from Kingston and I'm hoping that my pre-order and the fact that I'm meeting my business account manager will mean I won't have to join any silly lines!!

I have a 64GB Space grey iPhone 8 Plus IUP reservation if anyone wants it? Cambridge store collection tomorrow 2pm.

Changed my mind, waiting for a X
 
Where did you see that? I’m going tomorrow evening for mine!
On the Order check page on the apple.co.uk site.

Ready for Pickup Check-in window: Tomorrow,

I'm picking it up after work so will have to wait until the end of the day, looking forward to it. But it does 'look' like its ready now. I'm sure they wouldn't give it to me today but hey another sleep until I get an update toy. Not bothered its not an X I will let everyone else iron out the bugs for me.

So I’m on the DPD website as I’d like them to deliver to one of their pickup locations as I won’t be in when they deliver.
However my only options are to deliver to a neighbour or upgrade my deliver, neither of which offer the chance to use one of these locations.
Any suggestions please?
 
Got my 8 plus being delivered tomorrow; first launch date iPhone I've had since the 6.

Just wondering, does anyone still use a screen protector?

I stopped using one half way through using my 6, and never used on on my 6S (which was a brand new refurb from my bank insurance because they screwed up a battery replacement).

Is there a separate line for pickups?

I've been wondering this as well?! No doubt they'll be a queue for people who have just turned up, however, there must also be a queue for people with reservations? And in any case - are people who have reservations for say 10am, expected to queue up from 9am?

That’s my local store, might see you there for the X after you change your mind about the 8+

LOL!!!! I may see you there tomorrow then seeing that you're unlikely to get your X til next year!!!

I ordered an 8+ for my wife from O2 and she’s in no rush for it but haven’t heard a thing from them. Judging by Twitter no one else has either!

I’m guessing they’ll send dispatch emails out tonight at some point, but it’s no wonder people get frustrated and end up ordering multiple phones when there’s no communication or updates at all.
