MTL here.

- Apple website says delivery Nov. 3 - "preparing to ship"
- Still unable to track anything through UPS as of 5:25pm
- CC charge hold disappeared yesterday evening

I have a second one coming in the nov 21-28 window - "order in progress"
- No signs of anything CC-wise
 
I am able to plug in my phone number and I get departed Concord, ON today set for delivery tomorrow. Before I get too excited, I am betting it’s my case

Edit: shipment one is my case. Shipment two says a UPS shipping label was created today. So I’m betting it will leave Concord tomorrow and arrive in Winnipeg Friday
 
Just saw ups created the label by using phone number, november 3rd delivery date at 3:05- to mississauga

btw shippments coming from Burlington

Same, MTL here as well...

Nov 3, unable to track anything on UPS. Tried my phone number with a 1 in front of it, tried Order number.. nothing works for now.
CC charge appears to still be there.
 
8 am same here. Ah i thought we could run from the mall door to the apple store door. i could probably be first.
Heh. I wondered what the deal would be, so I called mine. They don't allow any running to the door. :) (my guess is, things probably got ugly at one or two of these in the past and things were rectified pretty quickly) :) Would have made it more interesting, that's for sure!! :)

I called my Apple Store too, guess what they said, oh yea we can't guarantee there's any iPhone for those doing walk-ins without pre-order. Ya f u too, f liar . . .

Also said reservation starts at 8:00 am instead of 6 AM, lies

He had no idea when the mall opened, said it was a good question.

Well, I called the mall first to see what they said about opening the doors early....they were completely oblivious that there was an iPhone launch Friday. The Apple Store said the main doors and their store would both be opening at 8...and we'd be escorted to preserve the order. Heh. I wonder if they'll go through the line outside in advance and hand out chits, so there's no chance of any changes.

Looking at the weather...it's supposed to be cold (2 degrees) and rainy all night...good...that should keep the university students away!!! :D
 
Found my shipment as well by using my phone number. Anyone else get a estimated delivery time? Mine says 13:15 to 17:15

The one time I went, they already took your order before entering the mall. They came out and processed “reservations” in the order we were standing. Then there was a slow procession inside the mall to the store doors. Very organized.

It would be nothing short of a gong show if they allowed a mad dash to the door. Getting trampled would be the least of your problems. ;)

I hope they do that - ask people which phones that you want and give you a chit...then when the chits are gone, send the rest of the line home (heh...or try to sell them iPhone 8's) :)

Not chits. It was an “e reservation”. They took your name, phone number, and what phone you wanted. An order is created and they text/email you a qr code. Then you entered the mall.

When you’re brought into the store, the employee will scan the code. Then your order is brought out.

At least that’s how it was done at the 6 & 6+ launch.

I'm a university student planning on heading to the mall at about 7:30 with a few friends. I know many other students planning to do the same as well!
 
Where are you entering phone number ? I see no field on ups
You have to use a desktop browser. Neither the app nor the mobile version give you the option to search by reference number. If you can force the browser to load the full desktop version, you could do it.

Edit: Just got it to work on the iPad. Yep, works on the iPad, but not on the iPhone browser.
 
If you go to the tracking page on the mobile site and then request the desktop site you’ll get the full web page
Ok. I was using my computer anyways. I tracked by reference and put my phone number in the reference but only found the package which was delivered today - my leather case.

The only time I lined up for an iPhone was for the 5s.Arrived outside the mall at around 3:30 and the line at that time wasn’t organized by Apple.At around 6:00am they organized the line and asked what model everyone wanted.I don’t remember if they gave out chits.They did escort us into the mall in specific groups,people that were buying unlocked phones were in one line inside the mall and upgrade people in the other line.I never asked when I was inside the store,how many people would end up getting a phone.

I am in the Nov 21-27 shipping group,so I will probably line up again.I just hope getting there by 3:00 to 4:00 am is going to be early enough to get a phone.I had about 30 people in front of me when I arrived at the mall for the 5s.
 
What???? They're lined up two days in advance?! That's just nuts!!! Guessing this Apple store is outside? (I don't think any mall's going to let people stay in after closing).

Nuts. And tomorrow looks like significant rain and cold temperatures for southern Ontario too.
