Happy with that delivery slot, looking forward to seeing you Hristo
 
Morning all! Trying to decide between a guaranteed pickup from my nearest Apple Store tomorrow (35 miles away), or chance it with John Lewis for either delivery or local pickup tomorrow...

Pick up from store as long as you are not in tier 3 area.

Mine’s out for delivery with DHL already but it has no time slot! It’s being delivered to my office so i’m slightly concerned if it comes before I get there I’ll miss it!

Could always order the pickup tomorrow, scout John Lewis stores/online - maybe get a pickup and if you secure it today great, but if not at least you’ve got tomorrow as a pose to next week!

Yep, that’s why I’m checking. I think it may be best if I wait until actually in store doing my upgrade before cancelling.

Does really provide a very small refund window, doesn’t it.

If you’re handing your phone back to Apple as a part of the IUP you can’t claim an AppleCare refund.

This will only work if you are selling your phone privately and paying off Barclays yourself.

Yeah that sounds like the best idea, no stress about trying to order from John Lewis, whenever it is they open up orders.

Done and done, collecting my Pacific Blue Pro tomorrow!

My partner’s Graphite Pro is being delivered by DPD today, so I’ll at least have some experience with one in the meantime. Genuinely think I’m more excited than her for it to arrive 😂
 
Happy Christmas morning everyone!

DHL tracking is trash. Mine's only just gone to "at the delivery depot". Where? Where is the depot? Will I get a slot?
Oh the stress.

If anyone knows, let me know? How embarrassing for them to be so pathetic compared to DPD!

Good question. I suspect that under current circumstances that Apple will not want people just turning up to queue at their stores. I think that they have been operating a booking system just to browse. But on the other hand, I'm sure that Apple would not want to be turning customers away.

I had to book an in store slot at the store just to buy a charger... they said at the time, they aren't accepting anyone without a booking. Also, when you look at the booking availability for Friday and Saturday, they are greyed out as special event. So, I'd say there is little point in turning up without a booking / slot by the looks of things!
