For pickup orders, pretty sure your status won't change to "Ready for Pickup" until your phone is scanned into store inventory. They won't do that until Thursday night/Friday morning.
No updates, still preparing to ship. I’m in the Ottawa region and ups my choice shows nothing.
I really think all phones are at UPS already sitting there. They will only do next day shipping so it won't be shipped until tomorrow. for people that live in GTA, it could be shipped Friday.
It’s possible of course, but last year for my iPhone 7 Plus order there was definitely tracking from China. Has this happened before? Where most of the launch day stock has actually been in Canada since pre-orders?
Canada probably doesn't have that much stock, so it is possible most were sent already.
I don't recall that happening before, but we also know Foxconn was producing and shipping iPhoneX's for a few weeks now (before pre-order began). I know some already shipped to Europe (that was in an earlier MR article). I figured most of that would be for store stock and possibly seeding carriers...but we've seen a bunch of the Americans tracking their phones (like we normally do) from China.
I've got an in-store pickup Friday evening; still showing processing as well. This will be a first (previous pre-orders I was always able to get launch day delivery) so glad I'm not the only one in this boat.
Yep, we've seen that. Some of the Verizon orders had origin scans at Apple's distribution centre in Harrisburg, PA. Concord is UPS main hub in the east...shipments usually come from Harrisburg or Louisville through Mount Hope (Hamilton) to Concord, then split up to regional shipments (or put on local delivery trucks for the GTA crowd).
Don't see a lot of people freaking out over here...on the American thread however...
Or maybe people realized that Fido won't just let you buy a new phone "full pop" without signing up for a new contract? (and cancelled)
