I would avoid it if I could, but iUP can only be done in store.
Got a tip for us?

The Meadowhall Apple store is in am awkward place so that's probably the reason.
I ordered via Carphone Warehouse! But tempted to cancel it now and rely on that Amazon order coming through.. (could otherwise preorder from JL hopefully)
Seriously? You’re glad about the misfortunes of those in England?
That’s not quite right with respect. Only people in Tier 1 can visit from England for holidays.
“As of 6pm on Friday 16 October, people who live in areas of high coronavirus infection rates across the UK are not allowed to travel to Wales unless it is for work, education or other essential purpose (a reasonable excuse). The areas this applies to are: Tier 2 areas in England. Tier 3 areas in England.”
It’s not against the law to go into a tier 3 area. Just not “recommended”.
....last word from me on C-19 as this isn't the right place.
Tier 1, 2 and 3, AND levels High, Very High and Extremely High - its no wonder why this country is confused.

Because of Covid I can't see any way Apple would be allowed to have the queues build up as they usually do during a product launch.
No you read that wrong mate.
Nobody can leave their local areas from 6pm on Friday as we are in a full national firebreak lockdown. I doubt anybody regardless of tier from England will be allowed to travel in for 2 weeks.
Just making the point and keeping it on topic that travelling to an Apple store here to collect preorders will be illegal after Friday unless you live in Cardiff or other parts with official Apple stores.
My local gym had to close last week due to tier 3 restrictions from today they are allowed to be opened back up....what a mess no one has a clue on what is going...
My only escape from Covid was this forum, now we are discussing Covid 
Got the iPhone 12 Pro in silver ordered from Apple (£999, 9th Nov) and Amazon (£849, 24th Oct) If Amazon honour that then Apple have given me plenty of time to cancel their order. Fingers crossed
Well... I think a round of applause is needed for the great people of Newcastle and Gateshead. A couple of weeks ago we were in the same position as Liverpool and looking certain for a full lock down. It would seem all Geordies have collectively seen the real danger... that is, they may not be able to pick up their new phones and have collectively brought down the infection rates...
Flatten those curves lads and lasses, flatten those curves and have a canny iPhone release day 🤪 👍

I would imagine someone at Amazon has lost their job over that pricing error. They must have lost thousands over that. Poor Jeff Bazos has probably lost about 15 seconds of his personal daily profit over this
Yep Pro 128GB Gold. Processing since 13:04 when I got the order email. Delivery 23rd.
My local store is always heaving. I went the other day to collect my watch. The store itself is empty but there is always about 4 massive queues outside for various things. The queues were worse than for the 11 launch!
