Hi, I'm going to pre-order the iPhone 8 and I would like to know if I pre-order as soon as it opens will I receive the product on the release date? This is my first time pre-ordering an iPhone and I'm not sure whether its best to have it delivered or pick up in store as I'm betting there will be a massive queue. Thanks in advanced

Generally Pre-Orders are not received on the release date. iPhone 7 pre-orders started to be delivered a week after general release date.
Also Delivery is tied to many factors. Including availability and weather. The iPhone 7 was delayed due to severe weather in the pacific last year. And a severe lack of availability of the Jet Black color.
Pre-Orders are just a way to secure the item, not the delivery date.
Shipping to store will cause you to wait in a queue as they get to you yes and are generally known to be very long. But still guarantees you'll get your product.
Generally expect 1 to 2 weeks of delivery time after pre-ordering.

That's up to the store, how they manage it. Generally Pre-Orders get told when and at what time to be at the store, and will get called eventually.
People without a pre-order are first come first serve.
Even if you ship to store, Pre-Orders many not be delivered to the store on release date, depending on demand.
The only way to guarantee you get in on release date is to get to the store super early on release day and get in the queue.
With that said, I doubt its worth all that trouble to get it on release date.
That's great thank you. In that case as I want the product on the release date I think I'll have to queue! Do you know if they have a separate line for pre-orders?
A new phone hasn't even been announced yet. What makes you think anyone here can tell you when you'll get it?
