I'm gonna wake up for this store pick up thing but it better work for unlocked phones and better not be instantly sold out. Nobody else wake up. I'll let you know.

The entire preorder was a debacle for me and a mess. The first confirmation email I received was at 3:09, then the next at 3:12 and lastly 3:17. I had first gotten in late with the Apple store app not “opening” the preorder until late and off the hop my window was 2-3 weeks.
I ordered Silver 256, SG 64 then SG256. I’m in London, ON. I don’t recall my order time but I do remember receiving my confirmation emails very quickly. I paid with Apple Pay, which itself was fine but the app was a mess. All were ordered through the app as my MBP did not load the store even after my last preorder.
All three were listed as November 20-27 until 8:49pm tonight, when one went straight to “shipped - signature not required.” The last two remain at November 20-27.
I spoke with some employees I know well at the Apple store today, I think everyone should be trying the reserve for in store pickup. I was told that all shipments that come throughout any given day (at London store at least) are set aside for reserve and pickup the next morning and not put out for sale that same day. I was also told that a shipment comes every night, so the possibility exists that there will be hopefully good inventory for pickup. Remember, when you are going through the store reserve it’ll show you inventory for your 12 closest Apple store locations - at least for me that is the case. Maybe it goes by distance.
Hope that helps ! I’ll answer whatever else I can.

Just FYI, all iPhones reserved for in store pickup are unlocked, despite it being labeled as for carrier upgrades. When you arrive for your pickup they will ask you if it’s for purchase or with your carrier.

it doesn't help that the link says "Reserve iPhone X with a contract. Reserve now"
but I hope you're right. And I hope there's actually stock. Again, leave it to me guys I'll report back if it works out and then everyone else can try. No need to waste your time.
Yea I know it’s terribly labeled. Trust me, it’s how I got my 7 and 6S the year before. You’ll be good!
Just picked up my silver 256GB from the post office! I opened the shipping box but have been staring at the iPhone box, too scared to open it yet! LOL
if we were all at a restaurant and you got your food first would you go to town? didn't think so. You'd wait 2-3 weeks for the rest of us.
ROTFLMAO You make an interesting point! It is too bad that DiveKitty got to me before I read your message!
Done! Starting to set it up! and I had no idea by silver they meant "chrome". I LOVE it!
WOW!I got a notification from Telus that my phone has been shipped!I just have to survive the weekend. Crazy since I preordered just 2 days ago haha! Wasn't expecting that!
I was ready to wait. It said 2 weeks when I ordered. I feel sorry for you guys who ordered on the 27th and are stuck with November 21-28
It's pretty frustrating seeing all these people in the US threads talking about how they were able to walk in after work to certain Apple stores and pick one up, and yet it sounds like almost every store in Canada was sold out very early in the morning. This combined with US preorders getting bumped up while we see no movement.....I know it's common for the US to get more stock but it seems a lot more unbalanced this time around than previous launches.
I hope this works because I don't want to wake up at 6am for nothing.
I actually just walked in to a Telus store in Winnipeg, and they had stocks of all iPhone X's in both colours and capacities. The Apple Store down the mall was all sold out, and here, a lonely Telus store had some stock. Picked up a 64gb White X ! Loving it so far. Face ID is terrific !
Reservation is live earlier.... And no silver available, and nothing available at local store.
