If it's an order from Apple online store, just phone them and they'll arrange collection at no cost to you.
White 32GB with 3 just delivered by DPD... He had 60 of them to deliver so anyone in the Guildford area, they're coming your way 
Give it a go any try it. I'm on the £12.90 plan from 3 and it doesnt include tethering. But I can tether just fine.
I totally try and play it cool when they arrive.

I don't know why orange and the likes don't do a delivery to a store option if you order online or by phone.
Still waiting for ukmail, paisley pa2

I wish apples tracking would say "Will dispatch on" rather than "Dispatched"! every time I go on the page I'm overjoyed for a split second, then I realise... every time...
After the iPhone delivery I had a wasted trip to Canary Wharf to ask Orange if they had any Nano SIMs for mid contract customers... if you're planning the same, they don't have any but will happily order over the phone for you...
Anyway, I was disheartened but returned home to find that in a rather late post, my Nano SIM I ordered last Tuesday over the phone had arrived!! Getting everything set up now. Thrilled.
BTW... not sure if it's been mentioned (or even expected) but hopefulness that Apple may have included the 'advertised' adapter with the delivery have been dashed. Not surprised, but was hopeful on the basis that they may have recognised an obligation. It was clearly there when I pre-ordered at 08.15 and still there in the afternoon when I checked (app store on the phone), so technically it WAS part of my order even if it was their mistake... Never mind eh

Does the iPhone 5 let you rotate to landscape mode on the home screen? This is my first iPhone, and I'm used to being able to do it on the iPad!
The guy in store said they had run out earlier and closed the line then they found some more stock so opened the line again! Maybe I got there at just the right time? They were handing out cards to people in line relating to the model you wanted, if you got a card then you were guaranteed a phone. They had LOADS of cards, but whether they will last through the afternoon is anyones guess.
