Wow, that's very good, which one did you order? I ordered on Friday afternoon and it says I'm spot #382. Do you think the business customers get their phones earlier/later/same as the non-business Rogers customers? Does it get shipped to Rogers first and they ship it to me, or does it get shipped straight from China to my house? I tried calling them but they weren't sure.Ordered through Rogers Business as soon as phones opened at the civilized time of 8 am EST (there is no online reservation for Business). I'm #5 in line.
I am just scared as I waited over a month to get my rMBP, and don't want the same thing to happen this time...
I just had a read through the past couple hours of @TELUSsupport Twitter feed - LOTS of folks badgering them over the lack of delivery and tracking emails.
Telus' consistent response is this:
"Hi, if you placed your order before 4pm PST on 14th of September, you can expect your device by the 21st. Thanks"
My order was placed at 12:20am, and I'm in Vancouver. Fingers crossed...

The few business customers are in the same situation I fear. I'll post if I hear anything at all...
Well that's pretty promising then. As much as I would like to have information now, I feel like they'll come through.
Excellent. I place my order 2:07AM Edmonton time, so I'm well ahead of that deadline. I'm just kind of irrationally worrying them, then. Good to know.
shipping date?
So I stayed up all night on the preorder date from 12 to 5 oclock.
I live in toronto canada so I heard it was at three when the phones were avb for preordering but i checked around 12 too just to be sure
I couldnt place an order untill 3:19 because the apple store kept saying be right back which was very annoying.
Anyways its wednesday left and my order just changed to preparing for shipping i think around monday or so. its still stuck under that as of now but Ive seen other people other threads mention that they ordered the same time as mine but they are getting shipped? what the helllll...
Anyways if anyone can share some of their knowledge and tell me if ill be able to get it on friday then please do so..

There 1000% right, everytime at launch when putting the upgrade through, the system crashes, either you stand in line and be one of the first ones to use the system, or bear for hours and hours of employees clicking lol
its crazy, you would think they would invest enought of the money they are stealing from us to keep their servers capable of handeling the load of a few more then normal activations.
how did they notify you? when you reserved did you do it online, and if so what number were you in line?
Still waiting on word from rogers on mine
is it possible to purchase a nano sim now, and call into the carrier by phone today or tomorrow and get my number transferred to it, as to avoid the "system crash" on Friday? I would just have to sacrifice a couple days of no phone usage. But I don't make or receive calls much anyway and I can still use my wifi for other social correspondences
That's why they should have started handing out the nano cards this week so customers can activate them themselves or via phone on Friday. All staff will so stressed friday that they don't want to worry about things that won't earn them a commission.
Rogers Waitlist Update
I waitlisted online with Rogers last Friday morning and started at 1000+ in the queue (Black 32GB). Went down to 300+ by Monday and for the last day or two the number disappeared and the status changed to "IN PROGRESS". About an hour ago I got an email saying that the phone was being shipped to my local store (see text below).
Hope that helps others.

oh dam, i waitlisted with rogers friday afternoon, after it came back up after crashing and i was 3500ish, im only down to 1900 now. Guess i have to wait until im 0 before they even ship to the store, bummer. Makes me wonder if I will get that 50$ credit for 2+ weeks.
I've got some Aladeen news for us waiting for 64GB models from Rogers...sources say that not one store has received any at this point and its unlikely that they will be until next week...YAY!
cc charged on 18th but apple says 25th deliver
my card was charged yesterday but when i called apple the rep said that they see mine as being delivere on the 25th and they do not know why on my end it says "holiday shipping" she said dont expect it until the 25th. i am in zone 1 for the delivery map in vancouver though

I have been charged by Apple, but no shipping notification or tracking from UPS or Fedex yet (ordered 12:03am PDT)
Same here! I'm pretty jealous of the US side, they found a way to track and all that!
