Well yesterday all the new stock started to appear at around 11am but did appear to start in London stores and filter out to the rest of the UK throughout the day. But it really was a case of being lucky looking at the right store at the right time. I missed the black 7+ appearing at Southampton literally by 2 mins. But fortunately i saw one appear at Basingstoke and managed to bag it, another person on here got lucky too but equally another person just missed out. So no real pattern.

It saves you the trouble of having to refresh the page every 5 seconds, but you can't really take your eyes off it
Same issue here too, just thought it was me being half asleep. Will try again once in the office and also hook pushbullet up to my order status checker app which currently sends me a text and email when my order moves from 'processing'.

Need to see if I can get it to post on here too so I can claim bragging rights for first 4-10er to move

Anyone just gone with a normal 7 instead of waiting? I've been tempted a few times

I was getting to this stage yesterday but i just knew i wanted the 7+. If that is what you really want then maybe best to just wait it out. I brought a gold 7+ at the weekend but i really wanted a black one so was worth the few extra days wait.
 
Folks, it's been emotional as always, but as my phone turned up yesterday it's time for me to bow out of this thread.

Good luck to everyone that's checking stock and waiting for a delivery, it will be worth the wait if that's any consolation.
Haha it's. The first time in YEARS I've still been here so late in the game after launch
 
Looks like my 7, matte black 128GB will be delivered at some point today. Was dispatched yesterday/overnight - Original ship date was anywhere from yesterday to Thursday.

I've bitten the bullet and order online 7+ 128gb matte black. This IUP thing is a shambles in the UK and mark my words it will be worse next year. Looking at 2-3 weeks but who knows it might ship before then. If Apple sorts their stock out then i'll reserve and cancel my online order.

On a small positive note I have noticed that Apple now lets you choose local UPS stops (corner stores, small supermarkets) for your iPhone to be shipped to. Saves me from having to wait at home or day.

It's the same every time there's reservations though.

I don't think it will be a shambles for the iUP next year, since they will have learnt their lesson this year from the US balls up.
 
So tempted by the 256GB MB+ at Eldon Square. Got a 4-10th Jet Black on order but don't know whether to wait So unsure on the 2 black colours I can't pick
 
Quite a few people on here were saying that the original launch date was probably supposed to be this Friday (but moved forward a week because of Note7 Fiasco) and that stores would get proper delivery mid-week in time for what would have been the original date. However stores appeared to only get a handful of 128Gb MB 7+ and that is it, sigh

To be honest, that's more people guessing, no hint of any truth to it.

I've got the script working but notifications for the Pushbullet app just don't work on my phone? They work OK on the desktop app. Anyone have a similar issue?

Yes same issue with the app. Open it and I see stuff but otherwise I get no notifications. Friend has a similar issue

I had to remove the iOS app and reinstall it, then notifications started working.
 
Managed to find a 128g MB 7+ in Bristol late last night - taking this afternoon off to pick it up. Sim only will save me approx £400 over 2 years so ded worth it.
 
I'm so desperate I even considered getting to Newcastle from Suffolk, for the black plus 256 they have. If I didn't have Wednesdays off to look after my 18 month old, I may have gone. I'm not sure my wife would accept me dragging him on an all day iPhone hunt!
 
Roll on finishing time :D:D

Cheers. My O2 collect in store (Silver 256GB Plus) is supposed to be available on Friday, but not holding my breath

My push notifications are for 128Gb in black, but they seem to have one of those at least when a store gets plus stock for reservations. For the rest of today, it's reservation page refresh lottery

Have you got the link? And what stores are you looking at for yours?

It's the code that l3uddz posted yesterday, you need to run it via python and customise it to what you need and have pushbullet installed. Mines set to look for matte black plus 128Gb in Reading, Basingstoke and the London stores.

is the script if anyone wants to run it themselves. It uses same method as RazorD so may not be 1000% accurate but worked great for me today and got me reservation i was after. maybe will help some others
