Ok, so I have a question... my order is still processing BUT i was able to reserve in store for pickup this afternoon!!! As crazy as it sounds, Ive never bought an iphone in store... always online. will the one i get in store be unlocked? and can i just buy the phone and do the set up at home? the email i got from apple regarding pickup says to make sure i already backed up my phone, but ill be at work all day and cant backup my phone until after i pickup my new one. will there be any issues with doing that?? thanks!!!
 
Mine too!!

If it shipped today I would imagine it will be here before the 5th.

You're fine. Unlocked (unless you want a contract). Exact same as getting one in the mail.
[doublepost=1475076115][/doublepost]I called UPS to ask when I should expect my phone... it shipped today and they said I'll have it by end of day Friday.

I always bought all my iPhones at the Southgate Apple Store and when you buy them outright they are always unlocked. You have to tell them if you want it on a carrier subsidy plan. They will ask you if you want them to help you set it up and restore from iCloud etc I always tell them I like doing that on my own and will do it at home because I want first finger prints on it to be mine :)

You've given me hope! My order is 4-6 weeks (256gb jet black through telus).
 
Randomly received an Telus order. My mom's 128g jet black iPhone 7 plus came in today but Telus didn't send me any shipping email at all. It was a pleasant surprise for her.

Mine still says arrived in zhengzhou and delivery updated for Monday. It was set to deliver Friday...
 
Has anyone successfully been able to Track by Reference on UPS? I'm preparing for shipment and my credit card has been charged. I tried using my phone number and postal code in the reference section but no results.

Mine is "pfs"too its been a day now no update i tried to track through reference but just like u no results.Delivery estimated oct5th-12.
 
UPS said it's on track for delivery tomorrow, but I'm skeptical. Tracking says it's still in China, and I don't see an estimated delivery date down. Considering it has to make it's way to Victoria, I'll only believe it if it says it's made it to Richmond today. Otherwise it'll be Monday.
