It's brilliant. I parked on the roof, lift straight down into the centre. Nice place.
Can I arrive early for my reservation? I've got mine reserved for 8pm-8:15pm because I'm working until 6pm tonight and will be setting off straight after i finish work. Will likely arrive at the store around 7:15ish..
[doublepost=1474521986][/doublepost]Also crossing my fingers that I'm accepted for the iUp program finance wise. Really panicking about it.

Managed to get a 7± gold although I originally wanted rose gold (but not even one appeared around Manchester!). What should I do?
Wait for the rose gold, I'm sure they'll be some stock this afternoon.
Arrggh. Managed to get a plus/128/black in the reserve page only to get an error on next click - someone else beat me to it. :-( Time to setup pushbullet
Yes you did and I'm eternally grateful!! Picking it up this afternoon. Gutted you didn't get one this morning pal.
Quick PushBullet question. The wonderful script is running fine (on raspberry pi). I get notifications (like the script's startup message) on my desktop pc, yet annoyingly I'm not seeing any on iOS or laptop. Any ideas? Reinstall log out/in didn't help?
On iOS I can send/receive PB, but not see any notifications (which are enabled in ios). On the laptop I don't even get the messages, and trying to send sticks on "sendign". Off to the PB forum I guess!
Update: Deleted all devices in PB, readded/logged in. Now have desktop and iOS working. Still nothing on desktop . gr but iOS most important
Updated #2: After the it crowd approach I finally have all 3 devices alerting. Phew. Now to sit back and wait. What are the odds of stock arriving when in meeting etc. High!

I got the Rosegold 7 plus and it's worth waiting for. Wait for the one you really want.
I would anyway, i picked mine up yesterday and appointment slot time made no difference. First come first served, was there over an hour!
Thought I'd chime in and say thanks to the help on this thread I'v reserved a 7+ Black 256GB on the IUP at the Trafford Centre this evening. By sheer chance I woke up at 5.59am and managed to bag one. Cheers everyone!
Last year I turned up a 1:30pm for a 5:30pm reservation, there was no queue and they served me immediately and weren't worried about the reservation time. Year before that I got there early in the morning and there was a queue and once I got to the front they sent me back behind the people who had an earlier reservation. You will get seen but they might serve people with an earlier time first.
Without question this iPhone 7 is the worst Apple ordering process I have ever experienced. I have purchased almost every other Apple product and had it delivered within one or two days of launch.
This week I have been up at 5:30 AM every single day trying to order an iPhone 7 like many others here. This is in addition ordering within 10 seconds of it going live on pre-order day but receiving a delivery date of mid October.
I can't explain the frustration of having the product in your shopping bag completing the overly complex checkout process only to get to the very end when your card authorises for it to fail because there is suddenly no stock.
Why the product can't stay in your shopping basket for at least a couple of minutes to allow you to complete the process instead of allowing other people to steal the product from you at the very last hurdle is such a poorly thought out system.
I've probably wasted 20 hours of my life so for doing this monotonous, repetitive sequence.
Like many others have found this entire process has really left a sour taste.
Good luck to everybody getting your phones today, tomorrow, next week or whenever.

I'm feeling the same as you. Been up early every single morning and nothing. I've managed to get the model that I want onto my basket multiple times but when I come to checkout, they're gone.
And then throughout the day I work and can't check my phone.
Just getting a bit fed up of the process now.
Heading to Covent Garden for 10 this morning. Any idea what the queues will be like? Could do without being there for hours.
Also, does anyone have any experience with converting a pre paid reservation into the AUP?
