I’m going to chance John Lewis tomorrow too. Hopefully they go live online at midnight.
My experience with Amazon is the dispatch notification usually doesn’t come until quite later as they use their own logistics.I was just about to post that I've seen no Amazon movement yet. There's still time but I could do with it hurrying up...
Last pickup I did was for the 12 Pro and it was crazy busy. It was also during peak COVID season, so there was a long queue set up outside the Regent Street store.Off topic (slightly)… Londoners… how is the city with crowds?
I’m heading over tomorrow for the weekend (it’s been planned and booked since April 🙄) and I am dreading it.
Picking my phone up at regent street in the morning
I’m gonna try and also check my two local Apple stores (Eldon Square and Metro Centre) for stock.Many people going to try and get an order in with JL tomorrow morning?
Obviously the area around Westminster will be the busiest, but other parts of central London will be affected too, with road closures. Keep an eye on Transport for London's website for updates.Off topic (slightly)… Londoners… how is the city with crowds?

I meant with the royal activities 😂Last pickup I did was for the 12 Pro and it was crazy busy. It was also during peak COVID season, so there was a long queue set up outside the Regent Street store.
However, it didn’t take that long to actually get inside. They’ve done many launches and have it well organised!
Stay hydrated and fed, and try to enjoy the buzzing atmosphere!

Ooof with some price inflation though!
£1300 for the 128gb - con artists
I’m glad I’m having mine delivered to home. I’ll be nesting in comfort for the whole long weekend!Obviously the area around Westminster will be the busiest, but other parts of central London will be affected too, with road closures. Keep an eye on Transport for London's website for updates.

'Unprecedented disruption' expected for travel on Monday for Queen's funeral
London Underground, National Rail and bus services in and around London are expected to be severely impacted by the procession of the Queen's coffin and the funeral on Mondaywww.mirror.co.uk
yeah, its a real bored when collecting from store! you just have to watch us all suffer
I’m not sure any of the couriers offer that service…![]()
Feel a bit left out of the fun as I have mine scheduled for pick up tomorrow from Apple - think I have the first slot, a 9:15-9:30am for my local store, so only 22 hours or so to go until it’s new phone time!
....so no annual photo of the Bromley store from you then this year.
.....you must literally be round the corner from me - I'm down in Lower Thames Street.
I can see the end of the queue (for the Queen) from my building (The Halkin) as we have a balcony overlooking the Thames (HMS Belfast is in clear site!).
How dare you?! She is a glowing beacon of innocent joy! 🥰IJustine might!!!
Isn’t Sky that don’t do annual CPI/RPI increases though? Most other networks do, so over 24 months it might be the same. 0% from Apple most likely cheaper though
Ah of course... I was looking at the standard opening hours. Must've been too slow to get an 8am appointment (which would have been preferable) - I suppose there's little point in showing up before my slot?Most Apple stores will open at 8am tomorrow. I am scheduled for 8.15.
Remind me, when should we expect movement on Apple Store orders?
We then have to track via syncreon iirc? Then DPD/DHL later?
Same here! I shall try John Lewis tomorrow if no update and you can call them or live chat to cancel order.Still no movement on my curry’s order. Does anyone know how long it take them to refund the money? I might cancel and go for John Lewis.
