Is it possible to add Leeds and the Manchester stores to your script? I would really appreciate it and send you some money on PayPal if you want

As I said, I don't know how. It's not my script and I'm not that techie.

pushbullet notifications don't seem to work on iPhone. you have to have the app open so it can refresh, which is pretty crap.

It works for me after removing the iOS app and reinstalling.

I had to delete and reinstall the iOS app.

tried a couple of time with no luck

I've finally done it - registered for the forum after being a lurker for many years!

Last night, I was lucky enough to secure an iPhone 7 Plus 128GB in Black for collection from Buchanan Street this afternoon. Istocknow showed that there was available stock, however, the upgrade program was closed until 6AM. I went through the motions to purchase the iPhone online and it gave me the option to collect from Buchanan Street and that exactly what I am doing this afternoon!

For those desperate for a Black Plus, it might be worth checking the site at night and going through the collect in store option as opposed to the upgrade program!

I was the exact same last night !

Collecting the same phone from Braehead this afternoon

Because store stock is separate to online order stock.

Another reinstall then sign out seems to have giving it the kick it needed. Time to integrate this bad boy into my order status checker app

I couldn't believe my eyes when that little green tick was showing at the Black Plus! Straight upstairs for my credit card! Obviously the black cat that walked in front of the car brought me luck!!! Enjoy your new iPhone! Can't wait to finish work now!

Yes, you can

I wonder how they will handle the process next year? You will have hundreds of thousands of people on the upgrade programme - all clamouring for iphone 8 upon release. And apple would need to be undertaking detailed checks on all the iphone 7's being handed back in..... (checking for damage, confirming serial numbers, ensuring activation lock is off etc...

the logistics will be insane!

'In theory' it will be better, apple know when people entered the programme, they will do an estimate of those wishing to upgrade (most) and allocate stock, it's in speech marks because that's probably not how it'll work!!!

Bearing in mind that they have already been thru that this year and Apple will learn from that and it should be better for us when we hit it next year.

Thanks. Working for me now too.

Southampton has some plus models

Come on Reading, you're the one of the only stores that haven't had the bumper stock slot....

 

[Dino F]

I have the DPD app and it says I'm stop 19 and he's on his way to stop 2. Also says a time frame in which I expect to receive my phone!!!

...it must just be the DPD app then, which shows the route and the 'Stop' number as DPD's website shows none of this?!!!!

I picked up my phone yesterday (128gb 7+ Black), and paid using the IUP. What's your general thoughts on the IUP? I'm not sure whether to return and buy outright on interest free credit card or stick with IUP....

To be honest, each to their own with their needs and preferences. I am going for the iUP as it's easier for me all round.
