CANADA — iPhone X — Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

joech said:
I tried the last three mornings and it is impossible to get a reservation in Calgary. Saw a SG 64G available in West Edmonton for a few seconds this morning, but I am not willing to drive 5 plus hours to get the phone.

My ordered changed from PFS to shipped and I got the tracking number. I hope UPS is not going to leave the package at the door step as my order details say NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED.

At least your phone is in the mail! Mine is still on the flippin' Order In Progress stage!!!

It's strange how Apple is hit and miss on requiring the signature.
As they've stated that, it's really at your driver's discretion whether they want to leave it at the door or not. How far away is your UPS Customer Centre? (the hub that your UPS trucks are loaded at each morning).
Me, I'd have it held at the hub and pick it up, so it doesn't go missing.

The UPS customer centre is only 15 minutes from my house. I might give them a call and try to hold it at the center. Last I used UPS for my order from Europe, UPS told me they have to make one attempt to deliver before I can make any changes.

Yeah, I've heard them say that before. Usually, if you're adamant with them, they'll cave and hold it there for you. Stress to them that you need to get it that morning....you could always fib and say that you're travelling, leaving later in the day. 🙂

After using the phone since Friday, I think I might be returning it and getting the 8 Plus instead. I really don’t like how the screen is taller but skinnier than the Plus. Feels like a downgrade to me.

I'm still getting used to it (coming from a 6+ myself), but like the overall feel of the phone. Didn't like the 7 last year I had/returned. I almost went with an 8 Plus (purely based on cost) but wanted to see how I felt using this phone and so far, so good.
 
Anyone else iPhone dropping wifi connection? All my other devices work perfectly fine , even my 7 plus doesn’t drop connection. So not sure what’s going on.
 
my phone is scheduled to arrive on next Monday, is it possible to call UPS to pick up by myself on Saturday?

Yes. It comes up throughout the day. I saw the one I want but I was too late because I enter in my password incorrectly a few times.
 
Anyone who's had a phone delivered that shipped from China, what was the tracking pattern like? Mine shipped Sunday night (as several others have also mentioned), but ETA lists Friday. It's currently in Incheon, Korea Wondering if there's any chance it might arrive to Vancouver sooner than Friday.

Not sure this works out west but in the GTA UPS is very inflexible and won't leave an iPhone at the door without signature even if you specifically ask them. They say it's Apple that has set this policy and they have to go along. For smaller stuff like a case or something they don't require a signature so they'll leave it. They have told me in the past that they have to attempt one delivery to your door. After that, I have had them go to the nearest UPS Store where I've picked it up. IF you want it on the 1st attempted delivery you'll most likely have to be there or have someone else be there and sign for it.

Reserved a Space Grey 256 in Vancouver. If I hadn't been sitting here at the computer there is no way I would have got it.

Judging by how very fast they are going they are either reservation cancellations or a very small trickle of new stock.
 
Oh crap my pre-order for 21-28 just now went preparing to ship.

I will be cancelling my Pacific Centre reservation at 11:30 so be on the look out for it.

The only way to receive it before they deliver it to your home is to have it held at the UPS Customer Centre. You can use their site to do a search to see where your closest CC is. You can then sign up with UPS My Choice or call them to have it held at the UPS CC rather than delivered to your home. That will allow you to grab it as soon as it arrives (provided they're open - check their hours before doing this).
The hub is where it's routed to before loaded onto a truck for delivery....you're saving them that last step.

I always call rather than using My Choice to hold it at the CC - to make sure there's no hiccups.

I’ve had the phone since Sunday and haven’t experienced that problem.

I’ve been watching British Columbia. It’s like they opened the flood gate today. New stock (escpecially 256 gb) has been flowing in all day.

I had an Apple Case UPS “attempt deliver” yesterday. I was home but I digress. When the attempt delivery was not made the delivery was routed to a nearby UPS pickup location 4 hours later

Mine is at the same location. I'm wondering if it made today's flight leaving Korea for Anchorage... My tracking shows arrival in Incheon at 19:52 and Flightaware shows UPS099 departed at 23:15 local. *fingers crossed*
 
My order, made 10 minutes after the store opened, and which was scheduled for Nov 20 - Nov 27, has just now changed to preparing for shipment.

I’m on that same path. Hope it made into UPS099, lands in an hour...
 
Lol mine Nov 21-28 somehow changed to Nov 22-29 on order status page, I dont know since when, located in GTA.
Still in Progress and email received 3:10AM.
 
Just got my iPhone X in the mail from Telus (just switched over from Rogers!)

Absolutely beautiful device, and very content with it. Learning the new gestures is cool, I enjoy the new interface and whole screen display and how everything can be done with the touch screen.
