I will give you my experience from the Iphone8 launch with Eaton Centre pickup. My phone stayed in processing status right until the phone arrived at store. I had a 6pm pick up time scheduled, I happened to end up with the day off, so I went in the morning to try and get it earlier. Low and behold no phone. They actually get another shipment mid day, I think I got the email around 2-3pm that it was now ready for pickup. If you have a morning appointment I imagine you will get notification after the store closes for business tonight.

Awesome post! Very helpful first hand experience for us in store pick up guys. Thank you!
