Ahem, he stated he ordered his other one through the finance online. It's different to the iUP but still finance.

Thats it though my online order shipping to home address is through the barclays finance option
Oh I see. Credit checks are strange things and some checks are more stringent than others.
I remember when three first started in the U.K. I was still a student but I got accepted for a contract but many people I knew who worked failed the credit check. Some of them asked them to run it again and they were successful on the second occasion.
Barclays will have seen on your credit file for the finance option and will have dismissed the iup programme - Due to recent issues with lending too much to people who cannot afford to pay back the debt it has become more difficult and stringent, i'm not saying you've got bad credit or anything it just may be that, if you had cancelled the finance option it MAY have gone through ok.
Preparing to dispatch shouldn't be a long process should it? Surely thats just picking the correct model from the 'shelf' and sending it to the correct country....that can't take more than 3 days can it?
I did think that, but I wasn't willing to take the risk to cancel before I had the phone in my hand
Mine was in preparing to dispatch for 6 days but that was because it was being delivered on launch day and obviously couldn't arrive before the 16th. Now that the phones are on general sale they should all be getting dispatched quickly.
Update on the Jet Black 7 ordered at 08:07. Changed to DHL carrier this Tuesday and displayed a delivery date of 28-Sep but has just arrived, quite a nice surprise!
At least you're still getting the phone one way or another. Just a shame you have to wait longer for it.
have you tried game, they quoted 230 Quid for my 16gb 6 - They graded it as "C" although there are no scratches etc
Lol CPW didn't even check that my phone was unlocked he just took my word for it.
You will have likely failed the credit as you already have one outstanding with Barclays Finance.
Same thing happened to me with an Apple Watch last year. Bought one and wanted to cancel but couldn't so placed a second order for a CHEAPER model and got failed. It'll go on the fact you're taking 2 loans out (effectively) within the space of such a short amount of time. If it were 2 differenet companies you might be ok, but the fact it's the same they probably don't like it.
I am going to try and get mine on the Upgrade Program when I eventually (IF I eventually) get to reserve one.
But if I fail I'll just buy it outright. I don't expect to pass as I have a bit of credit already, smaller amounts but a few that need getting rid of. I'm also still paying off said Apple Watch, so chances are low.
Worth a shot all the same.

True, hey at least I got to see the sights of Manchester
It will have been on his system when he put it through. I work in CPW on a Saturday and it tells us the network status.
She put the imei into their system, that's how it came up. I said it says £390 online, she looked and showed me the unknown price and that's what it is for mine and can't change it.
I bought it from apple last year, so I know it's unlocked. Is there any way round it? She said I should just send off instead.
I'm such a hypocrite. After going on a rant about Apple increasing their prices I still bought the 7 plus. Then I bought a watch band on Wednesday and now I've just ordered another one 
Well I'm new to CPW I just got it as a second job a few weeks ago due to buying my first house and wanting some extra pocket money (for things like iPhone 7 Pluses haha
) so it's a question I'd be asking a colleague... Sorry I can't help. All I could suggest is trying a different store.
Alternatively, I can ask tomorrow and see what the guys say and post back?
Oh I used to do bank shifts at work for extra pocket money but now I'm on maternity leave I can't do them.Well I'm new to CPW I just got it as a second job a few weeks ago due to buying my first house and wanting some extra pocket money (for things like iPhone 7 Pluses haha

I remember last year I did 2 night shifts and bought my iPhone 6S plus. It stopped the OH from moaning. He has an idea how much iPhones cost but he doesn't know how much Michael Kors bags cost
I wonder how many bought the 7 and decided it wasnt for them to then have placed orders for the 7+ which has pushed orders even further out.

I'll try and go to Reading tomorrow and try my luck there. If no joy, I'll post it via online, but makes me worry it'll arrive and they'll say it's unknown too.
