Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[sparkie1984]

Stock doesn’t appear to be an issue!

I’m not ordering but had a little nose on the website anyway

So you can do it online?

No. You still have to go in-Store to sign up/renew. But you obviously reserve your device online, which is what I’m talking about.

Ahh contract prices are going to be scary for the X.

So you can do it online?

Yea but its effectively making a reservation for pickup. You can tell them you want to join the upgrade programme when you go to collect.

256Gb with Applecare + reserved for instore pickup.

That was painless-apart from my Amex card that got declined because I lost my wallet recently and had my cards replaced and the one site I hadn't amended all my card details was Apple...

Amen for 1Password.

Yep, forgot to do this and just went into the pre-order bit of the app. Kicked myself thinking I'd blown it but no - still managed to reserve for the iUP Looks like there's plenty of stock at the moment...

Did you go into that then click next? What happens next?

 

[Jinjin]

Wow it's quiet in here!

Well done to everyone so far. Got a feeling that getting an X won't be quite so easy...

this time last year the 7+ stock had already dropped to 7-10 days for the jet black! the X is going to be a nightmare

 

[The Game 161]

So you can do it online?

And on the app

DONE - 8 Plus, 64gb, for pick up at Bromley!

All done via the app! No option to choose iPhone Payments though, only IUP, but I guess I can swap over in store next week.

yup should be the case!

Ordered 64gb plus for 8 am pickup in Leeds!

Never been one for all the whooping and hollaring but at least I’ll avoid the dispatch email/tracking anxiety. I once took a full day off work only for the phone to arrive after 5pm so I’m over all that

8 Plus, 256 GB in space grey ordered at 8.02am (using the iPhone app). Estimated delivery 22nd.

 

[mrklaw]

For collections, do you pay online, or do they complete the transaction when you pick it up in Store? I didn’t see any options for IUP or payments.

 

[zombierunner]

For some reason apple pay didn't work due to billing address issue although it's the same as always, chose other payment options instead and went through

 

[OllyW]

Quick question- I'm after a leather case from Apple too, but gather that it can slow down my order, so I didn't include it in the phone order. If I order one separately now, will they "bundle" the package, possibly slowing it? Considering doing it in a day or two.

I had a look yesterday and the leather cases for the 8+ were down for delivery on Monday. They shouldn't bundle separate orders.

Managed store pick up but there charging my card

 

[troubleonline]

Got my Watch but had to go via safari to get PayPal finance option! Couldn't do that on the app. Delivery Fri 22nd!

 

[Azzin]

For collections, do you pay online, or do they complete the transaction when you pick it up in Store?

In store, as you still have the option for iUP or 0% finance I think.

 

[missl46]

Ordered an 8 Space Grey 64Gb for Mum. Her 6s is getting slower by the day plus it fell in the loo few months ago so deserved upgrade!!

worth adding an option for 'none - sticking with my current phone'?

 

[Azzin]

Easiest (apart from my credit card **** up) iPhone pre order.

EVER!

 

[r1biker]

If you go for store delivery, do you get given a time or can you turn up at opening time and get in the queue?

8plus 256 space grey now showing 25th sept - 2nd october! stocks starting to go
edit- 8plus 256 gold also showing slippage

 

[Jamestm]

I wanted home delivery and it kept saying in store pick up in the basket. I'm glad there was so much stock left, because I deleted it and started my basket 3 times! Then I noticed the 'check availability' link for deliveries where I have to enter a postcode; why would it not remember my postcode and check automatically!

Anyway, panic over, 64gb plus ordered. Had a 6 plus on day one but returned it after a week for the regular size, it's time to try the big one again.
