It seems all the Apple Store pick-ups are in slots of 15 mins - mine is between 09:45 and 10:00am on Friday so your post makes perfect sense.
So I’ve got a iPhone 12 pro on Barclays finance, picking it up on Friday.
But I’m having second thoughts about maybe getting the Max 😭
If I decided to return my pro and go for the max, considering it’s on finance, would I have to cancel the finance and reapply? Or could they refund onto a gift card and I just pay the difference.
Anyone have experience doing this with finance?

It does state that but don't expect them to be much, do you know how much I'd be expecting to pay?
I’m guessing you would have to take out a new loan for it because of the price difference and due to the fact it’s a different model
Yes please let me know how you get one. Mine is going off today. Out of curiosity, does the driver let you bring the box in to package it in or does he do it for you?
ah that’s annoying. I thought because the loan was just for an amount, not model specific, that I could just pay the difference. I don’t want to have applied for 2 loans in a month
I cancelled my order for my 12 yesterday, and as far as i'm aware Apple cancel the loan with Barclays when you cancel the order so there's no need to worry.
When I ordered my 12 Pro yesterday I had to re-apply for the finance loan. But it got approved straight away.
Website states £135, but as its going via Netherlands I am not sure how this works as they are in the EU, but they may have different import taxes etc..
Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad
VAT, duty and customs declarations for goods received by post or courier - paying, collecting your goods, getting a refund and documents.
Let's hope they can get people in and out in under 15 mins.
...feck - really???!
That sounds like a very strict area.......
We’ve had a local lockdown for the past 4 weeks and a national firebreak coming in on Friday. We’ve had a lot of cases and now Manchester and Yorkshire look like they are experiencing similar. I know people who have been fined, some argued they had legitimate reasons though. I doubt visiting an Apple store to pick up an iPhone 12 would get you out of a £60 fine though lol.
Was is it not $20. I recently purchased Zugu case for ipad via Amazon and they charged me duty in final total order value.
It’s not us who need to make our minds up.
There is an important difference between rules and guidelines.
Rules, are contained in legislation. There will be statutory instruments that lay them out.
Guidance is just that - suggestions put out on gov.uk.
The government doesn’t make it crystal clear what is a rule and what is a guide, because they’d rather you followed both types. But they know they cannot enforce guidance.
Pleas note the words “we are advising”
This actually means that it is advice or guidance, not forbidden. It can only be legally enforceable if a Statutory Instrument makes it so.
EDIT: Sorry, I was catching up and didn’t realise that @Sheza had already pointed this out.
Also please note, I am not advocating that people go against Government advice, just clarifying the legal position.

It’s actually £135 now, used to be £90.
I’d be claiming your duty back unless it was a very expensive iPad case lol.
Duty + VAT + Handling Charges its scandalous lol. Hence i always buy via Amazon if i want something from US or just contact seller and tell them to declare as gift with almost zero value.

Thats nice i can order dbrand skins now
they usually work at a snail's pace anyway so i wouldn't hold out too much hope
I don’t know why you guys put yourself through the torture of an Apple Store lol. One positive of this pandemic is it’s meant quiet stores. Slow service and a system more difficult to book into than a GP lol.
