Just a heads up that the Apple Cases that were previously showing as not available to pickup at stores until a few days into November are now showing as available for pickup tomorrow if you order via the app.

So my phone has gone from Hinckley, past my house and to Ryton where its been most of the day. That’s around 90 miles away.
It’s so close yet so far.

In the past each day it just shows availability for that day, so you have to check each day 0600 onwards.
Surely if there is new stock coming in or becoming available due to non-collection it should be offered to those in queue first?

NB: Collection/iUP queue not online delivery queue.

Yeah same as the Nike Apple Watch series 3

Picking up tomorrow

As with many companies I believe that Apple allocates stock to different channels and online comes through Apple in Ireland, whereas Apple Stores comes through a different channel. They are likely different legal entities which makes it difficult to move stock easily between channels.

I’m a 13/20 but tempted to have a look in Stratford tomorrow morning just before 8 to see what the queue is like.

Sorry I’m talking about those in queue for in store collection vs those chancing an instore collection at 6:00am every day.

Nothing to do with delivery style online orders.
 
Tried to get mine in the EE store after I got an email saying it had been delivered. They told me it was an “error” :(
Error because it's available tomorrow to pickup or error that it's not there today nor is it going to be there tomorrow?
 
Can i just ask why people are ‘upgrading’ their orders for delivery before 10.30am?

What is the point exactly. Your original order may be scheduled before this time (you will find out when in the morning) - you are effecively flushing £10 down the toilet. Bizarre.
 
So, is the concensus better to restore from backup, or just start a new phone and login from the iCloud backup? What iOS version are the phones coming in with?

In for a grand, in for a tenner...?

Oh now I get you. I have only used it a few days after day 1 when there is no queue. In the past they haven’t opened up the on day reservations until the queue has been fulfilled. Perhaps that’s why it isn’t being opened up in US on Saturday. Perhaps they think that they have enough stock in UK to cover the day 1 queue?
 
7th in the queue at Apple Store Leeds... probably about 15 or so in total

Watch out for scalpers - I would strongly suggest you speak to everyone in the queue and ask if they are expecting anyone to join and how many people. Be prepared. You don't want 20 people to jump the line at 7am.
 
Does anyone here have their phone delivered by DHL?
If so, does anyone know whether it is possible to track when DHL flights leave a specific location?

Thanks in advance!
