Reserved Silver 256gb for pickup 8am release day. Supposed to be signing up for IUP but I'll just buy it outright when i get there.

I pre-ordered a sim-free one in CPW store this morning and choose to collect it in store itself. Now i am doubtful if it will be available to collect on 3rd itself but can i walk in on 3rd nov in same store and take any available iphone X? ANy guesses? Will anyway ask in the store itself tomorrow.
I bought one with an HSBC Visa card which shows a £1175 transaction in the Apple store and one on my master card Halifax clarity card which shows a transaction of £0.00.
Halifax said they approved the payment to Apple so I’m not panicking yet, I think the payment will come out in the next few weeks and it was just a test.
I’ve got a confirmation email for both orders.
Oh right. I didn’t realise that. Thanks! I might pick up the Tozo from Amazon
For info, my order was placed at 8.03 for launch day delivery. Apple store app on my iPhone. No issues at all with the app.
I asked them and they said some of their stores will have stock, but they cannot confirm which ones. I'll call my local store on 2nd Nov to ask if they will be having any stock the next day (3rd Nov) and if they do I'll pick it up
I can't find any information on CPW website about not locking it. How do you know?
Some of these bank accounts that include mobile insurance, have a £1000 limit on the coverage.
If you’ve bought a 256GB model it’s worth checking your specific account policy.

Yup. Thats what i plan to do too. My local store is a small one so lets see how it goes.
Apparently they lock to the first UK SIM : https://twitter.com/wiredfire/status/859862873631318016

If only that would happen to some of us here 😵

Yeah people who got T-Mobile X with 1-2 week estimate are being moved up to 3rd Nov. I wish my estimate of 2-3 weeks (13 - 20 Nov) gets moved up as well!
This is a good idea.
I mentioned it earlier today (about 40 pages back!) - but people could put their purchasing details (NB: NOT ORDER REFERENCES, but specification, time of email etc) in their signature so that there can be some information when the dispatching happens later next week...
This topic was covered in some depth early on in this thread. CPW no longer sim lock to the first sim. It was a practise they did in the past but no longer do.
This is from their website and from the numerous staff and agents I spoke to personally.

Has anyone here had their delivery dates improve?
Many are reporting that their orders which had delivery scheduled for November 10th-17th have now been brought forward to launch day.

Any reason why not doing IUP? I have option of IUP (1st time), or straight sale
Boy that’s taken a while to catch up on this thread from this morning. The most interesting take I see is that the reservation link may have been a quicker way in to the store.
I also now put my hand up to not having the foggiest on what makes the App Store appear for some an not others. I didn’t get in until 8.08 and in the 2-3 week window. Second year in a row I’ve been late getting in. 2 macs (2 different browsers (safari and chrome), cache cleared on each refresh), iPad with app and phone with app on 4G. None of the buggers worked!
On a separate note, my silicone case has a delay which means it will probably arrive at the same time as the phone!
On the bright side I get to watch United beat spurs tomorrow (even though it took nearly 8 hours to get from London to Manchester due to issues at Euston)
Day of delays all round

I think Harry Kane has got an estimated shipping 5-6 weeks. He's ruled himself out of the game as he's sulking in bed
Most likely the initial batch of shipping improvements are because of cancellations being released back into the pool and Apples back-end systems being allowed to reallocate them to people next in line. It's unlikely to be because more stock is arriving: Apple would have known what stock to expect for launch day when pre-orders went live and it wont have changed under a day (especially with China having been asleep for most of the launch aftermath).
If they do start to get better yields in production then that wont hit for another few days.

How did you cancel your CPW order as I need to cancel mine and wait for Apple delivery on the 13th to 20th November
