[Update] UPS Confirms Some iPhone 4S Shipments to Arrive Tomorrow
Update 2: Order status now reads a Monday delivery at noon (sad face; let’s hope this changes for the better):
Update 1: My order status now reads:
Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 10/14/2011, by 12:00
There is a god!
===
iPhone 4S orders from Apple have already shipped and tracking numbers have been emailed out. The question remains whether shipments will arrive by tomorrow for the iPhone 4S launch, or if Apple’s estimated arrival of October 19th is just an inflated date.
It now appears UPS is confirming to Canadian customers via twitter and email that iPhone 4S shipments will arrive by tomorrow, as seen below:
This will depend on how quickly UPS will be able to ship packages tomorrow. Hope you’ll be home to sign for it!

Anyone got better than this?
That’s exactly the same as what I am seeing for mine … unfortunately 🙁
Exact – from my experience however that a pretty quick move from Shenzhen to anchorage. Maybe ups is expediting these world ease orders since its launch day? I still don’t think we will be getting anything until at least Monday, in Ontario that is.
A number of Canadians in Ontario on MacRumors are posting pictures of UPS delivery dates scheduled for October 14-th by noon. So it looks like some will be delivered tomorrow.
Idem ;-$
Same. At least they are in North America now.
Just chatted with UPS support via Twitter and I can confirm: iPhones are scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day TOMORROW 14th-OCT-2011 !!!
And that’s in good old NS so, I think we got all of Canada covered tomorrow.
Now if it doesn’t show up i’ll be one pissed off SOB.
I really hope so, I’m in Toronto. Does your status say delivery for Monday by noon? And UPS told you tomorrow (Friday)?
My status has nothing listed right now, this is all from the rep. I think everyone’s iPhones right now are going to Alaska, won’t get any information now until they hit Canadian soil I think (that’s when the detailed tracking begins).
What also reassures me that she did check, is I sked her about delivery times for my area so I could have someone present to sign, and she stated there was no specific information for my area, so it worked out great.
Did you order from bell online?? I did and can’t find any proof they will be delivered in Ns tomorrow. I’m still waiting. Thanks CR
damn…
Scheduled Delivery:Monday, 10/17/2011, by 10:30Last Location:Arrived – Anchorage, AK, United States, Thursday, 10/13/2011
My order still shows “Processing”… Ont he apple site it says “Delivers: October 25th – November 1st” Is there any chance of an early delivery…?
No… Your availbility probably says 1-2 Weeks which means you missed the first wave of iPhones.
yea I guess I was around 24 hours late… :p I am not expecting my phone tomorrow… But any chance I could receive it by the 19th…?
I have:
Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 10/17/2011, by 12:00Currently: Anchorage, AK, United States 10/13/2011 12:37 Arrival ScanSo if it says Monday on UPS site, is it possible it arrives tomorrow? Man I’m so bummed. I really want it tomorrow. Maybe I’ll line up tonight… 🙁
Any word if Rogers has shipped any of their pre-orders yet ?
My Rogers has shown “shipping in progress” for a few days now. Should be able to pick it up tomorrow morning.
Same with mine…Unfortunately I think the “In progress” thing on mine means it hasnt been shipped yet.
Does anyone have ANY idea when the phones pre ordered through Telus are scheduled to be shipped? Has anyone recieved an email from them? On the FAQ site it says it will be recieved within two business days, but when I talked to someone on Monday, they said a couple of weeks?
no email yet, i was told i would get one once they were shipped which was to be sometime today, and arrival was anytime between oct 14-18. still waiting for my tracking number.
So can we assume they haven’t shipped yet then 🙁
I just called in and the guy just kept telling me he had no idea what’s going on with the shipments and that they are a call center, not a shipping center. Argh!!
Well I am on hold…we both had the same idea LOL
Ok well the person told me that they aren’t being shipped until tomorrow 🙁
Boo 🙁 our only hope is that they’re being shipped locally! Cross your fingers!
Well I am on hold…we both had the same idea LOL
I was told last night from a Telus rep that all the Telus iPhone 4S handsets were being shipped out to customers and stores today. He didn’t specify a time but said that it was being shipped on October 13th. He also said they were not coming from China but rather a distribution centre here in Canada. Hence why we haven’t been able to track it. In all likely hood they say customers should receive their iPhone 4S between October 14-18th. If you still haven’t received your phone by that time you should call Telus.
Mine says delivery by noon on Monday and I called UPS. They told me their system showed delivery on Tuesday!!! I asked if there was any chance on getting the package tomorrow and they wouldn’t answer this question. I’m in the GTA.
This is what I have…Scheduled Delivery:Friday, 10/14/2011, by 10:30

That UPS twitter guy said Im gettin it tomorrow. dont really believe this
Where are you guys getting Scheduled delivery times? I have tracked on UPS and there is no ETA yet. My last scan is an arrival scan into Anchorage at 12:37
I tend to see the Scheduled Delivery whenever it has arrived to a UPS location. I saw the Scheduled Delivery when it was in Hong Kong Airport, and when it left Scheduled Delivery disappeared.
Where are you shipping to?
Vancouver
Im getting a white 16gb delivered on monday 17th but no word on my black 64gb
Since mine’s in Alaska too, can I have Siri’s voice changed to Sarah Palin’s?
Me: “what’s my location Siri?”
Siri: “I can see Russia from my house.”
Mine just says it arrived in Alaska at 2:25pm. I live in Manitoba. What are the chances of it coming tomorrow? I ordered it the minute the site went live. I don’t understand why I don’t have an expected delivery date yet.
I don’t care about lines. The fucking Winnipeg apple store isn’t going to be packed. I’m almost thinking I should have taken my chances there. Dammit.
I live in Sask. and the UPS twitter account confirmed I’m suppose to receive mine tomorrow.
Anyone else pre-order from Bell? Bell’s website says that they begin shipping on Oct. 14th. I was told by the rep. who processed my order over the phone that they would likely arrive on Tues. or Wed. next week.
I’ve called four times to get a tracking number but the only number they’re able to give me seems to be an internal warehousing number or something. They ship via Canada Post and the number doesn’t work to track on their site.
I just got an email from bell with my tracking number, shipping thru canada post. my tracking number isnt working on the canada post site either yet, so u likely have the right number. said 2-5 days so tuesday-wedsday sounds right
I just got an email from bell with my tracking number, shipping thru canada post. my tracking number isnt working on the canada post site either yet, so u likely have the right number. said 2-5 days so tuesday-wedsday sounds right
Did you order over the phone or online? And, just out of curiosity, how many digits is your tracking number? Mine isn’t even enough to qualify as a Canada Post tracking number, which was why the rep. on the phone thought it must just be an internal tracking number for warehousing.
Maybe I’ll be getting an e-mail too?
I ordered online, new customer. 16 digit tracking number
Funny that my scheduled delivery is 10:30am and Gary’s is by noon. Assuming both are shipping to Vancouver.
By the way, saw FedEx delivering two huge cart of “boxes” to the Pacific Centre Apple Store at noon today. I wonder what they are 🙂
I got the call from Bell @ Richmond Center here in Vancouver, both of my iphone 4s (1 for the mrs) have arrived today!!!…Buta I cannot pick up until 0930 tommorow AM. Said they cannot release it to me until then :-O
Did you pre-order directly from a store, as opposed to over the phone or online?
Directly from the store. Both of our contracts with Rogers were up, so I spent a day at the mall and the phone shopping around for new contracts. Bell was way cheaper than what Rogers was charging me, so I left a deposit for the 2 phones and said I would switch. After talking to Rogers retentions I know I made tg right decision.

Are you a believer now Gary ?
Nice, wife’s order is in Alaska as well, but have never seen a scheduled delivery on it at any stage… Maybe I’ll give them a call.
As for my order, which was placed maybe 5 minutes later, still preparing for shipment according to Apple’s site and nothing in UPS yet.
Oh ya.. the Rogers store I used for the Rogers reservation (covering all my bases) is just closing and they did not receive any phones yet for either reserves or off the street.
Called them, she says the 18th is estimated delivery. Guess it comes from Alaska to Vancouver by Air and then ground to the East.
Shipments out east come from Alaska to Louisville, KY and then to Toronto or wherever. Mine is currently on flight UPS63 to Kentucky. Still hoping for tomorrow.
Funny, they are saying tomorrow for me and i’m on the east coast too.

Still nothing in UPS for my order of 32Gb. Hers was 64.
Mine is also on route..

Mine are scheduled to be delivered on Monday. I live in Toronto; perhaps it takes an extra business day to get them from the west coast over to this side of the country. Oh, well. I have other things to do this weekend, anyway. 🙂

Mine has departed Alaska as well. I haven’t been shown a delivery date as of yet. When I spoke with UPS earlier, they told me a delivery date of Tuesday the 18th… I am still holding out hope of it being delivered tomorrow. If it goes from Alaska to Vancouver, I only live 3 hours away from Vancouver, so it isn’t out of the realm of possibility of receiving it tomrorow.

Seems like Mississauga is Monday by noon. I would have loved tomorrow, but it’s better than spending 10 hours in line again.
It’ll make my monday brighter 🙂
Mine just departed Alaska but ups says Monday to coquitlam. Boo
My iPhone 4s just landed in Phoenix, Arizona from KY. Landed about 5 PM, hopefully they decide to make a quick shipment my way 🙂
In any case… Getting it tomorrow morning.

East coast sucks
$35 Hardware Upgrade Administration Fee???
anybody knows why there is this $35 Hardware Upgrade Administration Fee on top of the 3 year plan upgrade price fo ROGERS???
Monday for me three
Only 44 minutes left until UPS63 arrives in Louisville from Anchorage … Scheduled arrival time is at 12:23AM EDT and UPS474 is scheduled to depart from Louisville at 3:51AM EDT and arrive in Montreal-Mirabel at 5:43AM EDT, enough time for a Friday morning delivery!
I know the official ETA is Monday according to the tracking site, but what the heck … Steve Jobs taught us to have faith 🙂
How do you get arrival times
You can search for them on flightaware.com … for example the following link shows today’s flights between Louisville and Montreal (not sure if the phones will take this path though).
http://flightaware.com/live/findflight/KSDF/CYMX
I had Friday, then I had Monday delivery, now it doesn’t say anything! I guess I know if it says on truck for delivery tomorrow morning!
I had Friday – changed to Monday – changed to nothing – and now back to Monday! =(
Order status now reads: Last Location:Arrived – Ontario, CA, United States, Thursday, 10/13/2011, missing delivery date.Previously deliver by : Friday, Oct. 14 then Monday Oct 17, now nothing. From Alaska then Ontario? I’m in Burnaby, BC. Why go east? then West?
No shit, this is stupid UPS
It’s not Ontario Canada but Ontario California lol so still in the west 😉
Ontario is a city in California as well; the packages destined for western Canada were sent to the UPS depot there. It is kind of silly that it has to go that far south then back up to Canada though.
yeah you’re right. why they passed vancouver? they should stop at yvr first…:(
same problem here!!!! so stupid
Lol I swear Ups is screwing with us. Mine went from Alaska to Ontario, California and I’m in Saskatchewan. I still have a good feeling that sweet iPhone will be in my hands tomorrow!
No chance
They just left Louisville 10 minutes ago.
Promising update: Flight UPS474 from Louisville to Montreal-Mirabel was scheduled to depart at 3:51 AM but actually left at 5:03 AM. This kind of delay is rather unusual and the departure scan on the UPS tracking page shows 4:42 AM which looks about right.
Looks like with some luck we may be getting the phones today after all 🙂
It does not go straight to Montreal… It stops somewhere in Ontario…
Maybe you got the wrong flight…
Good point, it stopped at Mount Hope :

My Montreal-bound phone is now in Mount Hope, ON, Canada … Arrival scan on the tracking page is from 6:07, so I guess that means there is still hope 🙂
The delevery date was removed too… So like you said, there is still hope! 🙂
If it can get its way to Mirabel airport before 8h30 or 9h, we might get it today in Montreal… But for now, it does not look like its going to happen…
I live in Toronto. Mine just arrived at Mount Hope, Ontario (at Hamilton). Hopefully it will be delivered today
Mine is in Mount hope , Ontario (Hamilton) 6:07am
Mine too (same plane!). Import scan was 7:32am. No way we’re NOT getting it today. Sad thing is i’m working out of a different office than where it is being delivered today, and then heading straight out of town after work, knowing it’ll be sitting in my office for the entire weekend – how’s that for torture?
Mines in seattle wa, 4:37am pst……
Mine (heading to Winnipeg) just arrived in Seattle (4:37 their local)
Don’t think it’ll be a Friday delivery for me. Might as well head to work
BTW about 150 folk lined up in 2 groups (plan/no plan) at the apple store at 6:30.
Left Seatlle 6am local time, no idea where it’s going though.
Just arrived in Richmond BC (6:51 local time)

That’s a few hours away from Montreal! Hoping, wishing, crossing fingers.
Same here, good luck 😉 They can deliver until 7 PM i think, there’s hope !
19:00!!! I hope that you’re right. Really.
There’s likely a distribution centre that it will have to hit before your house, and that’ll have to be before the last trucks go out.
Mine arrived in Mount Hope the same time as yours, but hasn’t yet received an Import Scan. Headed to Toronto.

Mine arrived in Mount Hope the same time as yours, but hasn’t yet received an Import Scan. Headed to Toronto.
Also, it might go to Mississauga before going anywhere else…
Agreed. Mine will hit Mississauga then Vaughn likely.
Gosh, Canada! Release my iPhone from the customs already! Geez. It can’t take that long!
Hopefully the time lapse means its going through sorting at the warehouse, and will be going out today.
Exact same thing for me. I don’t expect it to get to Montreal and then out to the local delivery truck today. I’ll probably get in on monday if I am home when the UPS guy passe by. Then I also have to get to a Rogers store to get my sim exchanged for a micro-sim. Worse case I’ll get it tuesday/wednesday from the UPS depot.
I don’t expect any delivery today – mine still shows it’s in Louisville since a little after midnight last night. Monday is when I expect to see mine show up.
Mine was a pre-order on Apple.Ca around 3:30am on the 7th
Latest info on UPS.COM is “Import scan” at 7:36am today, 14th, at Fort Hope, Ont
The last time I saw an expected delivery was for Wednesday, 19th.
My latest is a location scan in Mount Hope, ON as well. I am literally 15 minutes from there. I called UPS and talked to them as the auto system only says it is on its way to me. She said it is on it’s way to the Brampton location and is due for delivery on the 18th!!! WTF! I asked if that is the case if I can have it held for pick up and she said no. What a joke UPS is.
YAY! Mine JUST arrived in Richmond!
I hope i get it today.
Nice mine just cleared customs and s being delivered today by noon in Coquitlam.
Lucky you. Hope you’ll get it today. Mine is still sitting at the customs. UPS is on my case. Waiting for see what they say. Nothing that I don’T already know, I believe.
I called UPS and they pretty much confirmed that it won’t be delivered before Monday 🙁
It amazes me that my 4s took only one day to travel from China to Mount Hope, ON. After speaking with ups, I’m being told it need to route to another sorting centre and not to expect delivery to Brampton, ON until Tuesday. Go figure
Mine’s been sitting at the local rural distribution depot since late Friday. I don’t fault UPS for the delay since, come on…. China to final delivery in less than 30 hours? Have we lost our sense of wonder? Given that the weekend has thrown 2 extra days into final delivery, and Apple is more than capable at being able to track overall trends in deliveries of past first day releases to individual Canadian addresses, Apple could have shipped at 12:09 am Wednesday instead of 12:09 am Thursday. instead, Apple chose to ship when they did, knowing individual pre-orders would arrive after the weekend. Not a bad move on their part considering how hammered their servers have been with everyone trying and mostly failing to update to iOS 5. (Hint: download the +700MB .ipsw upgrade file through your browser and then install from the downloaded file.). Besides…. I’ve come to realise this anticipation makes me feel like a kid again on a winter’s eve, wondering if I can stay awake long enough to hear hooves on the rooftop. 🙂
You can count on Brown FTW!!!
