I plan on either going right at 8 or noon time when all the campers are gone. Either way I don't expect a tough time considering in store pickup will have a different line.
Picking up at the Apple Store, Soho in NYC. 64GB Silver/White iPhone 6 with Verizon.
Gonna try to get there by 8 too!

I was going to go with TMobile but it wasn't an option when I was ordering so I stuck with AT&T. Plust AT&T announced they would be implementing the Wifi calling option.
I think the pick up time window is only UK. Seems like USA buyers can come in anytime throughout the day. In fact, I bet you can pick it up in the following days as well.
They tell you in the email you have 24 hours here in the USA. That's what I had done in the past. They'll even call you to make sure you know yours is ready.

I'm going at 8am. I don't want to take a whole day off. I will be camped out with everyone else for at least an hour or two depending on what I see going on the night before. I usually go out on thursdays so by 4am I may as well stick around for a few more hours...
That's excellent! The "pick up time window" seems ridiculous. What if you literally can't make it at a certain time. Do they really not save the phone for you because you came an hour late?
This will be my first time in store pickup so we'll see how the experience goes..
One of my orders still hasn't been charged at all, not even a hold. Anyone else?
My other order has three $0 charges. Different card.
I've tried to call Apple four times now, but gave up after being on hold for so long. I'm currently on hold again, for 50 minute so far this time.

Hopefully. Most people are saying they've been charged something, be it $0, $1, or the full amount. I think we'll be ok though.
I did the in store pick-up for the iPad Air the day it was released (Stanford shopping center store). There was a roped-off line along the back of the main store area. Although there were fewer than 10 people in line ahead of me, it took over an hour to get my ipad (pick up and pay..no set up needed).
It was painful. Luckily, the other people in line were funny and good company. The problem was the store didn't have a system for when the one (maybe two) apple people assigned to the ipad pickup line got involved with questions/set up.
They surely will have lots more staff working on iphone launch date.
Crap.. that sounds horrible! I would hope they have more than 2 people working the iPhone pickup line..
When I did it... they moved all the in store pick up people to the front of the line 3 and we all got our iPads first then they took everyone else after. I was in and out within minutes. I had such a good experience with it on both occasions that I've used it that it's my preference. I used it for the last iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
If I recall correctly, the Stanford shopping center store where I had such a long wait was brand new. That could help explain why it was messy. So just avoid newly opened apple stores on product launch days
I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray from Apple.com to be picked up at the Lake Grove, NY Apple Store.
My order is still at "Processing Items". No charge on my Chase Credit Card.
Anyone else?
