if you order at 12am cali time and reserve for in store pickup, you can then go to the store at 8am and pick it up
Welcome to the 21st century.
On Monday Sept 23 I ordered an iphone 5s online for in-store pickup and had my "it's ready" soon thereafter. I went after work, two hours later, and picked it up.
No reason they can't do the same with an eight hour window.
Jet airplanes fly faster these days.
I'd recommend flying to Utah as the one our time difference means you will pick up your iPad Air 60 minutes ahead of all the fools in California.
When you do, please post here your successful results.
I don't know about the 8am p/u time. I've read p/u will not be available until noon. Info is still sketchy. Could be we won't know for sure until ordering actually starts.
Nobody knows 100% for sure.
But, if you until REAL early Friday morning (not Thursday) - like 12:01 am, you can order it and they will either tell you it is available for Friday pickup, or they will say they are sold out.
Simple stuff.
As others have said above, this does work, even for NEW devices.

But not on the very first day for the iPhone 5S (20th Sept). The online in store pick up was not even shown on the first day, so I do think it will not show up at Midnight tonight either, and the OP wants to know about that. Just a guess so we shall see..
Did not start until the 23rd not on launch day. Read below link

With Personal Pickup, prospective buyers can reserve an iPad Air online beginning at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time and pick it up at a nearby Apple retail location later that same day without waiting in line.

First, I clearly stated that what I did was on the 23rd; my point was that they handled the online order within a couple hours, so they clearly could handle it within eight hours or so.
As for iPad Air launch day availability of in-store pickup, perhaps you missed this front page news:
iPad Air Supplies Expected to Be Plentiful at Launch With In-Store Pickup Available
Wrong
You can do it. Trust me
My God do your homework
Do your own homework. Apple has NOT said you can do this. Other, THIRD-party sites have said you'll be able to.
Until 12:01am, I'm not betting my life on it. Is it likely? Yes. But that doesn't mean it's 100% guaranteed at this point.
yeah- I just spoke with Apple again and they are being very vague and not really committing to the in store pick option. Typical Apple.
without store pick- the lines here in NYC can get insane.
I don't mind the line waiting as long as the item is reserved and will be available when I get to the front of the line. Would be a major bummer to wait how ever long it takes only to be told- "sorry- sold out".

i just spoke to my local apple store and they confirmed that you will be able to reserve for in store pickup on friday. they also said online orders start at 12:01 no matter what time zone you are in

Its "ought"...thought you aught to know.
It's, not "its".
If you're going to correct another, you should do so properly.
Yes, that's what I meant. He said at 12:01 PST, they'll go up for sale, and in-store pickup for tomorrow will be an option. As long as there is stock in the store at the time that you buy online, you are guaranteed an iPad in-store on Friday.
Does anyone know if the order online at 12:01 on Friday and pick up in store is available in the UK?
Many thanks
Many thanks
That person was dead wrong. Its 3 AM Eastern Time here in Florida. Site still down until that time. Not 12:01 no matter what time zone you are in.

What? Do you realize just how much this does not make sense?
This entire thread is giving me a giant headache.
Just completed my order, pickup in store option was avaiable, I picked a store near my work, I got a message saying "we'll email you when your order is ready, items are usually ready for pickup within an hour of your order." Now waiting for the email!
yes it was 3:01 eastern just like it should be. took 2 minutes to reserve for in store pick up
