The lineup will be stupid. Here's the really crazy thing - the one here in Waterloo, you can't line up outside of - it's in a mall. So, guessing that means there's a stampede once they open the mall doors???
Got a tip for us?

Same thing happened to me, except i got an immediate confirmation of Nov 3rd, but when the email came it said 2-3 weeks.
Nice call using your wife's iPhone.
So in store pickup was an option very early. When I got in I didn't see it anywhere.
Usually they line up somewhere outside the mall like we use to do in Burlington at Mapleview. Then they take small groups in to create the line inside the mall in the AM.The lineup will be stupid.

It pops down from the top when you select pre-order. It’s tiny writing and I honestly missed it last year for the 7 Plus.

The Apple Store close to me is in burlington at Mapleview Mall. Every year the mall has been opened pretty early and a line forms inside. And few times I've been there very early a line forms outside the entrance closest to the the store. Always been pretty orderly.
Yep,it looks like people in Canada were able to order quickly though there IPhone.Was that through wifi or LTE on your wife’s iPhone?
I got an email and a text from Apple about authorization issue with my CC. Called the CC company and they unblocked the transaction. Followed Apple's instruction to reauthorized while the CC agent is on the phone and everything is cleared up. She confirmed to me that Apple resent the authorization and she approved it right away. So definitely call you CC company to authorize the transaction from Apple and reauthorize your card following Apple's instruction. Now patiently waiting for Nov 3 to come...woohoo!
We have probably been in the same line together in past years LoL
Yes! I remember that in the past few years too. I was trying that but it showed zero availability at all stores. May have been that those ones went quick. It just confused me at the time as I saw people who had grabbed reservations, but at the same time I thought it was odd that there was absolutely none available at any stores at 3:07/08.
Hah! My favourite line (by favourite I mean the worst) was at Square One in 2010 for the iPhone 4. Lined up early, like 3-4am, store opened at 8, and systems for carrier upgrades were taking forever. Not a massive line in front of me, but didn't get into the store until 1pm. 2011 is when the store opened in Mapleview from what I remember.
I have been going to Mapleview since the 4S I believe. I have my two in-store pickups at Mapleview for 5pm on Friday

Nice. I remember the 4S launch there. Those were the good old days. Stuck lining up before we had online pre-orders or reservations in Canada.
No doubt! I think the 6 Plus @ Mapleview was my most dedicated wait
I believe I got to Mapleview at 5pm the prior day! :/ Not something I’m proud of. But knew most of the people that were first in the line. I have done the in-store pickup since.I'm in Ottawa. Woke up at 2:40 and got my browser and CC ready. Promptly fell asleep and woke up at 3:15. 2-3 week delay (Space Goat, 256). That'll learn me.
What time is the best time to line up in either Burlington or Square? and which doors are closest in the burlington apple store?

After reading your post, i tried ordering one through Rogers and got 3-5 business days. Not sure if that means 3-5 business days from Nov 3?
If your going to Mapleview. It would be the entrance nearest to The Bay on Maple Ave. I would most definitely line up before midnight.

damn.... not sure if it's worth doing for a couple of weeks of waiting.... thanks though!
Wow Just got another automated call from the CC fraud squad. Called them back and all is good. Either getting that warm feeling that I am well protected or am getting annoyed. Maybe I should have payed cash.
Still on track for a 3/11 delivery.
Other option will be the daily reservations that open 8am each day beginning Nov 4.
Exactly what I was going to mention. This is how I got my 7 Plus last year. Checked the reserve for in-store pickup on the morning of the 4th. They could have another shipment come in. I’d check through the night as well.
I remember doing this daily for the 6 Plus as well (was getting them for many family members and colleagues at the time).
Good that we have a few options at least.
Yeah, was able to at 3:06 right as I finally got into the site for Nov 3 (app didn’t work for a long time, got into the website). Tried a second one immediately after for the wife and between main site and adding to cart the delivery jumped from Nov 3 to 2-3 weeks. Few friends of mine couldn’t get into the site or app at all for 5-10 minutes and got 2-3 weeks. Going to try helping them look for same day reservations when they open.
