Just picked my iPhone up from Stratford. Very busy, waited in the queue for about 25 minutes. After that was seen and out in 5.

Not a bad experiance I don't mind waiting, feel for the staff working there today.

Anyone who has ordered the 7 plus 128GB in black received it yet. Considering doing that but don't know if i can wait 2 weeks.
Get online at 10 tonight and select store pickup (assuming black rather than her black).

Last night there was loads of availability for lots of stores around the Uk for quite a while.
 
Has anyone with a JB Plus in the Oct 4th - 10th window had any progress yet?
Cancelled ours and ordered last night for store pickup of the matte black. I'd been having remorse ever since I'd put the order in having seen further pictures of it rather than the apple pics.

Having seen it (JB) in the flesh in the store tonight we did the right thing. Was a bit underwhelmed tbh with how it looked.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Store pickup? Is this is different from IUP reservation?

Nope nothing yet! Still in processing I'm assuming we won't see any movement until next week now! Ordered 128gb JB+, CE 8:11, 09/09.

In saying this I'm getting closer and closer each day to changing to matte black... but something stops me just before I do it! I had the good fortune of having a really good look at my friends JB + and it is really lovely! I'm so undecided!
 
If I order to pick up from a store even though I paid in full online can I still return it to the shop I picked up from?
 
Online orders seem to be running a couple of days early. Best bet is to get to a store where stock has improved massively the past few days. Wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere!
Order online then try to get one in store and cancel online order :)
I collected a same day order yesterday, a 7+ Black, 128 -- thing is I have a JB due on 4th - 10th and not sure if can wait that long (do love the JB).
 
What's this store pickup thing? Is it different from the IUP Reservation page?? Anyone know?
Yes it is .... just go online via the usual store and if there is stock at your store you get the option purchase and pick up tomorrow... if you can't get in at the allotted time they keep it for 20 days. Keep an eye at 10pm on the stock checker (the rest of the EU has lit up green with lots of stock at 10pm CET)

Right, thanks! So I guess I can collect anytime tomorrow, also can I pay at the store or is it online purchase?
 
Do you need to pay in advance if you reserve through store pick up?
They make an authorisation on your card.

It's an online purchase .... you can go in anytime after your slot .... if you miss the slot you will likely need to queue so best go at a quiet time (if there is such a thing at the moment)

This process is the same that they run all the time for store pick ups but adding in the time slot to ease queues at the moment.

I ordered one last night for my son but can't go until Sunday to collect .... because they verify your funds they keep for up to 20 days (I confirmed this with the store by phone) you get a text reminder after 5 days.

Cheers man. I'll have a look in a while to see if it's in stock.

Okay thanks, when you checked online last night for store pickup, was there many stores with stock of the iPhone 7 Plus?

Yes lots and the stock lasted a fair while
Only one I'm not sure about is JB .... but plenty of Black ... I bought a black 256 for my son from one of the London stores
 
I know this has probably been asked before but at 10pm, assuming stock does come up, is it just a case of selecting the phone and adding to the basket as normal at which point we attempt to select a story for collection if available? Was just incase I was missing a quicker route!

That's exactly what I did and it worked fine ... you can select your store once it's in the basket.
