Collecting from Apple Store?

In a few days time I'll be collecting my new iMac from my nearest Apple Store. I have received my invoice by email and wondered if I need to take this with me as proof of purchase as I'm not sure about what I need to take. I did make the purchase using the iPad app if this helps.

I'm guessing you should be fine taking the invoice and something like photo ID to prove it's the person who purchased it that is picking it up.

Never collected from store before, only reserved? (might be lying here, can't completely remember) and purchased on the day.

You need to take id. I took my drivers license and the card i used to pay for my iMac.

i didn't get an invoice until after i had paid for it in store.

I've collected twice and they only wanted ID that matched my online payment.

EDIT: Actually I don't remember if they were reservations or collections. Either way, take ID and the card you paid with and proof of purchase just in case.

Thanks everyone, the online payment was made using the wife's debit card so I'll drag her along with me just in case lol.

I've just had the email saying it's ready to collect and it explains I will need a valid photo ID, it also says they will help me set it up. Does that mean it's going to be unboxed in the store and set up or is that a general thing that applies to iPhones etc?

They ask when you collect if you need assistance to get up and running - the item you pickup will be sealed.

Can confirm what Alpherah said. They're always sealed but they can help you set it up and will obviously unbox it.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll do it myself anyway. I'm out of the country at the moment so will be picking it up on Saturday.

Ok so I've now collected it and next job will no to order 32gb of 2133mhz ram from the bay at a cost of £199.00 a god bit cheaper than the option on the Apple Store app as they want £480.00 for the 1867mhz ram.
