Absolutely freaking ridiculous.. truck apparently came here and left because they didn't have the business name. They had the suite number but didn't even enter the building!!!!!!
Had to call and give the business name - which was provided to Apple but they apparently didn't list it with the shipment - so they'll be back tomorrow. I tried to get it ready for pick up at the depot but that would have taken an additional 5 days.

Well today was the end of the road for me! I have my new 5 burning a hole in my pocket waiting for my shift to end so I can zip into the city for a nano sim 
It's been a stressful week but thanks to everyone here we all had great support!
Enjoy your phone when you finally get it!

Just got mine.
UPS now has security guards guarding the vehicle while the other guy deliver. I think they did this after the several thefts that happened to the iphones.
That was hilarious. The security guard is a big tough guy wearing a sunglasses. And stand still firmly in the side of the vehicle.
Good luck everyone.

Shocked!
So I've been following all of the pre-order/order threads and finally bit the bullet and ordered my 5 last week (Wednesday). I've checked my status each day, knowing full well that many pre-orders haven't even been shipped..
Well, I go on to my account page and see that not only has my order been shipped, it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow (10/2). I had to refresh a few times to make sure I wasn't reading something wrong.
As happy as I am to get my phone, I'm upset for the folks who were up late or pre-ordered on the 14th - it doesn't seem fair.

Awesome, enjoy it! But apple's pre-order system is really, really strange. I don't get it.
Mine arrived with no status change other than "Delivered" when it was delivered. For those who are worried like I was about scratches, mine was flawless.
Just got mine 45 minutes ago and it has a dent. So still worry a little bit til you check it
No. Like many here, we were tracking our Canadian bound iPhones through UPS up until Friday evening. I was mentioning that my UPS status had not changed since Friday evening until it was delivered (normally it will say "Out for Delivery"). I should have been more clear for those who may have read this thread more recently and were not involved in previous posts.
FYI, we all had pre-ordered our phones through the online Apple store. I had preordered a 16GB Black phone on September 14 at 4:07 am EDT and just got it. I'm not familiar with what system your screenshot is from so I'm not sure where you preordered but I know the process is different if you did not order from the online Apple store.
Hope that helps.
Just arrived, very minor scratches but I had worse scuffing and more noticeable scratches on the iPhone 4
Ok. It just seems these spontaneous deliveries and moved forward deliveries happen a lot more in America and Canada. I'm from the UK, so less optimistic
OK, so something odd has happened. As posted before UPS lost my phone that was "out for delivery" since Sep. 26th. Apple sent a new one which is scheduled to be here tomorrow Oct. 2nd around 1030AM.
Well, when i got home i found a note from UPS that they attempted to deliver the original "lost" iPhone 5! I'm confused, and i guess they "found" it. I'll be asking personally what the he*l happened when i'm at the hub later picking it up tonight.
I'll let you know their excuse for this, so maybe other people having this issue will see what's going on too.
BTW I live outside of Philadelphia in NJ.

Mine was delivered about 2 PM Central time but I have to wait until 10 PM to get home and open it after class. And in my Marketing class right now we are talking about the affect of smartphones in Marketing through apps and such. It's killing me that people are talking about the i5!
Oh yeah . Same here. Finally received the iPhone. Now I can stop haunting the ups site.
Good luck to everyone who's still waiting.
Phone was shipped on the 23rd. Spent 2 days there, then a day Korea, then after another day a day in KY. a day there. Then to mount hope on Friday am. Sony tr weekend there.
Over te weekend got to LACHINE QC on Saturday an finally deliver today, Monday oct 1st at 530 pm.
A day early by apple estimate three days late by Ups estimate.

So my mother just text messaged me to let me know, my iPhone 5 has been delivered! When I get home form work I'll properly examine it for any scratches/dents or the yellow screen. Wish me luck guys! And good luck to all those still waiting!
My phone seems to be with your batch, but mine should have stopped in Mount Hope and Concord, ON, because it is for Toronto!! Don't know what happened.
Mine is stuck in Concord, ON too, just 15min from me. Still says Delivery by end of day today, which I highly doubt, it was already changed from last Friday to Today. Other packages that have arrived in Concord later than my shipment on Friday has been out for delivery and delivered. Called UPS, they said it will come when it comes. Thanks UPS.
Well finally home to examine this fancy new gadget more closely. All seems fine. The back apple logo looks to have faint scratches from one direction only. Not sure they were there at delivery. The lady at SaskTel was none too careful so perhaps they happened there. Or wherever it doesn't matter to me.
Ordered 9/14 at 1:53am MDT with estimate delivery 10/05 then 10/03. Traipsed all over Asia and USA and Canada. According to UPS it's in Regina with a Destination Scan yet!
16GB Black unlocked serial #DNQ...
