Has anyone’s cc been charged yet? I had a pending charge, which disappeared a few days later. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow but surprised to still see no charge. Is this normal?
 
In line at Masonville. They came out and told the first person in line that it would be “extremely difficult” even for him to secure a 256. I guess we are all going to be leaving with 64’s.

How many are at Masonville? Also where does the line up start?

Does... that mean they have none? Seems weird to tell the very 1st person it would be difficult; but I'm assuming that's just them being cryptic instead of saying they don't have any?

I’m not sure. I’m #11, and he asked what I was waiting for. Uptown telling him that I wanted a 256 Black, he said that he wanted to be up front - he didn’t want me to have a long disappointing night.

I asked if I should just go home, he said that he couldn’t tell me that but didn’t want me to be disappointed in the morning.

So - I take that to say they don’t have any. I drove 2 hours to be here though so I’m going to stick it out and see. Might grab a 64 if they don’t have 256.

Check your remaining credit amount. Mine did the same thing but my remaining credit balance is lower by the cost of the phone amount. Sometimes it takes a couple days for the transaction to show up.
 
It looks like Apple forgot to look at the exchange rate lately, the Canadian dollar has been going up.

999$ US = 1216$ CAD at today's rate

So we get to pay an extra 100$ for nothing.

With the whole month of October the Canadian dollar has been dropping against the US dollar:

9AM tomorrow I'm ready to make a bit of Money along with Apple. I'll join in on the Apple X fun later this year or maybe next years model ... the current price and exchange rate is just disgusting. caching!
 
It seems the 256 model is in short supply. I preordered a 64GB at 2:05 AM CDT and had no problems getting a Nov 3 delivery. Everyone who ordered 256 models around the same time were pushed out 3-4 weeks.

Doesn’t surprise me that stores received 64GB exclusively. Maybe Apple figured they wouldn’t sell many due to the high price.
 
at the risk of sounding like im rubbing it in....im really not.... but it seems so weird to me that you guys found it so difficult to get one for nov 3.

it was super smooth sailing for me. I ordered 3 phones, with three different configurations, from 3 different devices one after another and had minutes to spare to instagram the results before i saw the shipping estimate move up from Nov 3.

Must be the geography? (im on the west coast).
Internet service levels have absolutely nothing to do with geography. It's all about the latency you have via your ISP to the internet backbones.

Or, in this case specifically, what Apple did - Servers serving the order interface vs their Inktomi (akamai) web caching pool.
 
Just noticed that the pending charge for my phone has disappeared from my Amex transaction list. My order still exists though, for Nov 21-28.

Any one have any idea why?
 
I recived a contract email but no tracking number when is yours arriving?

Mine updated now. It has left Calgary. It doesn't have an expected delivery date listed and doesn't tell me if it's XpressPost or Expedited Parcel.

"TELUS Customer Agreement"

I definitely did not get that email.

Doesn't Telus ship with UPS? I thought I saw that on their website.

Not sure. I just know my tracking number is Canada Post and says it's on its way. Maybe depends where it's being delivered to?

You guys should actually say where your are in your posts? (otherwise there's not a lot of value for anyone else)

I was thinking of coming out since mine is a nov 20-27 order. But if there is no chance for a 256 I won't bother. I'll try the reservation system through out the week and see if that can get me one sooner.
 
here’s the line at markville
