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.

Yeah I’m in the same boat, I have a nov 20-27 ship date. So I figured I would give it a try. If I get it great, if not oh well.

As horrible as it is to say guys, we all know that the 256GB models are the most popular due to the polls done here on MR. We also know that the silver is more popular than the space gray. (so, the 64GB space grey was only liked by about 16% of people).

By all appearances, the Carriers, Best Buy, Walmart and Target (in the US) were seeded in advance - I'd offer that the stock for the stores was as well.

The US is Apple's favourite child. They have many, many more opportunities to get what they want.

We really should expect the stock at the stores to be the luck of the draw. Many will be disappointed. But, DO keep to your heart's desire - appears more shipments are in the offing....delays aren't what was slated.

If you don't see what you seek, best you await a better opportunity.

(and, yes, I've been drinking....makes the wait FAR more tolerable!!!) :) Cheers!

Happy hunting everyone!!!!
 
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.
apple doesn’t like to set expectations so they always under promise and over deliver. it’s a rule where u never set any sort of high expectation just in case
 
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.



I definitely did not get that email.



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?

Where abouts are you? I am south of Calgary. Still no tracking number! Status still says Order approved and shipping Nov 2. Charged to my credit card and everything.

That’s my general feeling as well. He seemed quite genuine in the fact that we shouldn’t wait all night if we wanted a 256.

Anyone else have stock reports to share? I wonder what the stores in AU had?
 
I stopped by Yorkdale earlier this evening (7-ish), and there was no line.

They did confirm there will be a stock for non-Pre-Order, but won't say how many.

ya they never say how many they have, not allowed. (for everything in the store)
 
In Ottawa it's freezing rain , I'm just going hope I can reserve one on Saturday..

Huh, is there another Ottawa somewhere else in Canada? It’s currently 13 degrees C in the capital, with an overnight low of 10C. Hardly freezing.

For the record I called Upper Canada earlier and they said they have some but very limited quantity. I asked what’s considered very limited..under 20? And she said “yes”.
 
Weird... my tracking just updated from Concord, ON to Mount Hope, ON.

Not sure why it’s routed there when in needs to get to Winnipeg.

If I remember right it will fly out of mount hope to Winnipeg.

I live in Windsor and I had a couple packages come opposite (fly out of Winnipeg into mount hope and then concord)

Which is interesting as in other polls ou there Space Grey 256gb, followed by Space Grey 64gb, were the most popular picks and in some cases (ie Telus) all models except Silver 256gb were 1-2+ weeks out soon after preorders went up. There were STILL Silver 256gb’s available shipping out Nov 2 Monday night/Tuesday morning.
