iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

Would get the Liverpool one but it's just too difficult to get to compared to Trafford Centre even though they're roughly the same distance away.

Liverpool just charge a fortune for parking plus I don't know it like TC which is a doddle.

Ah well. 🙁

I picked mine up at Liverpool yesterday. You can park in multi-storey next to John Lewis and Apple for £2.50 for an hour. Worth it to get a 7 Plus!

That's pretty good!
It's just getting there!

Both TC and L1 would be a nightmare but TC is definitely the easier option.
I'll be up early in the morning walking the dogs, so I'll hop on and see if I have any luck.

Doubtful, but we'll see!

Is the return policy in store 14 days?

If you do return a used phone in that window is it no questions asked providing the phone isnt smashed up? Do they issue the refund right away?
 
hey guys, if i want to use the 0% finance from apple is my only option to check the reserve in store link every day at 6AM? I want a 7 Plus and there is never any!

Cheers
 
This thread seems to have gone quieter this evening or it just a coincidence?

People seem to be getting their desired iPhones one way or another as the days tick by.

You have to reserve online but it doesn't have to be just at 6am. I checked (like mad!) yesterday morning. Nothing. Then at around midday was able to reserve and pickup! Went down and set up the iUP there and then. Made up. Ended up with the 256GB Plus and AppleCare plus for £49 a month instead of a whopping £1000+ on my credit card (plus interest!).
 
I didn't collect the 7+ 128 in gold I managed to reserve last night as rose gold is the one I really want so will see you at 6am again guys!

0% spending card? If so, me and the wife are doing the exact same thing. Buy them outright, pay off any money we get from our old phones and then pay off the rest over the next 12 months.

Yes, a 0% purchase card. I'm doing the exact same 🙂

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.

It's not an authorisation it's the full payment.

I returned a closed box 128gb 7+ in black at about 7.30/7.45 tonight ( I purchased 2 last night but only wanted one in the end). Thought it would have shown up tonight as doubt there was time for anyone in store to buy before closing. No sign as I was refreshing at 10pm to see if any JB's! Maybe it will up show up at 6am for reservation.

Took over 2 hours in store tonight to exchange. Waited over an hour to get served even though had slot but because I bought original on the payment plan and wanted to refund the one I bought online last night and exchange for the one the payment plan it was all a bit of a faff! And not quite as straight forward or quick as I thought it might be. I had to do a whole credit application again (that part was quite quick but I was concerned that Barclays might not like 2 applications so close to each other). Anyway all done and am happy to have a black 7+. Think I would have regretted keeping the gold.

Next year I'll just stick on my 0% credit card for a couple of months. I think its easier for exchanges!

Another pile of crap night stock-wise.

How on earth did the whole of England south of Manchester get only TWO Jet Black Pluses today, and Glasgow alone get four.

Where did you see that? I was checking at 22:00 and didn't see any Jet Black Pluses in the UK for pickup tomorrow.

Exactly what I did when a 256GB Silver Plus appeared for reservation in Basingstoke at 10:30am
Got fed up of all the BS from O2 so decided to jump on the iUP
 
You're right .... the cupboard is now bare ...... I'm fairly sure this will continue seems like stock is trickling through to stores

Was there definitely one? Are you sure you didn't get confused with the 4.7" (which is still available)? 🙂
