In practice you could collect any time on the day of the reservation. It will be cancelled only if you haven't collected by the time the store closes, and it will then be able for anyone to reserve the following morning at 6.
Got a tip for us?

SG 64GB. I have 128GB now and I have 80GB free because all my photos are on iCloud and I normally get a good data cap so I can stream all my music. 256Gb would’ve been overkill for me. I have a SB Watch so I wanted it to match, the silver looks beautiful but I’ve always gone for the black option.
I keep telling myself, maybe next year for the silver but I never do (I did for the 6S plus but I swapped it back). Haha.
Two more nights sleep after tonight.
Like a small child at Christmas.
My local delivery drivers who I say hello to all year long are all usually really good about dropping my iPhone deliveries in early, UK Mail primed, UPS only issue is DPD has only recently put a new driver on my round.

Not According to this

Unlike the standard in-store pickup option offered during the checkout process on Apple's website, which requires paying upfront for the device, the Reserve and Pickup system lets customers pay for the device in store upon pickup.
Reserve and Pickup also lets customers bypass the current 5-6 weeks shipping estimate of pre-ordering with in-store pickup.
The pickup generally must be completed within a 30-minute window selected, or else the reservation may be canceled. A valid government-issued photo ID must be shown at the store, and there's a max of two reservations per customer.

I am aware of what you quoted, but, with respect, I know more than the person who wrote that article.
My case has shipped too. "Delivers 02 November 2017"
Same here, relieved with that as the estimate was 3rd-7th
If I have no movement by Saturday I might have a crack at reserving one from Bromley or Lakeside - I’m not desperate so not gonna line up, too far away with a risk of coming home empty handed!
Hopefully your's comes on time. They will be processing a huge batch i expect. I was almost tempted to cancel the order and gamble getting one in my local store on Friday when I go to get the screen protector fitted.
Its exactly the same colour as my RED iPad Pro leather case. Which is what I hoped for.
Apart from the limited stock, if you get the order in, there's no reason it won't be at the store the next day.
You have a good chance. Main sticking points with John Lewis: getting a confirmed order when they are actually sold out (because their stock counter is very laggy), and having your order subjected to extra security checks, which usually means you miss out.
Should be fine though.
Did you buy from the Apple store? I got a mophie pad yesterday and it was delivered today even though it said 2nd.. really quick!My case has shipped too. "Delivers 02 November 2017"
My case has shipped!!
What time is John Lewis selling the phones? My mates gonna try get one as he missed launch day delivery.

I’m going to try for a Next day pickup or delivery if possible, let’s hope that the 900 odd stock levels don’t sell out within the first 30s! Good luck
Wasn’t gonna bite but might have a look if there’s no movement, and I don’t meant my ligaments...
That’s the worry if everyone who missed out on launch day think the same. At least there will be some cancelled Apple orders to improve deliveries for other I guess.
