Apple has started to send out UPS tracking numbers for the first wave of iPhone 6 pre-orders in Canada, set to arrive on Friday’s launch (for those in Zone 1 on the shipping estimate map; this is the original map the company posted with mixed up cities).
We just got a shipment notification email from Apple for our iPhone 6 Plus while others have told us initial iPhone 6 pre-orders have also received shipment notifications.
Right now, UPS shipping labels show UPS Express Saver as the method of shipment, so get ready for your phone to arrive on Friday.
Our orders went through at 1AM PDT last Friday and these shipping numbers just arrived 10 minutes ago. UPS is most likely again holding details of these shipments back until the last minute to ensure iPhone 6 units aren’t delivered early.
Have you received your shipping number yet from Apple for your iPhone 6 pre-order? Get ready to wait by the door on Friday!

I did! Can’t wait!! Friday can’t come any sooner! 😀
I got this too, but I realized that I forgot to write the buzzer code to my apartment in the info.
Does that mean they’re not going to buzz me and they’ll just stick a notice on the door, forcing me to wait a few days and pick it up from the UPS Store?
Rough situation! Is there any way they can identify your name on the buzzer; or is your name not associated with the buzzer?
I don’t imagine they’ll spend too much time with the delivery and would slap the ol’ notice at first chance to carry on with their busy scheduled day.
My name is listed there, but it’s an old building where all the names are just kind of thrown on the wall in small plastic letters. There’s no electronic directory. And knowing UPS, I doubt the driver will take the time to look through the list, find the buzzer number, and ring me up.
Bring your iPad and a lawn chair down to the lobby… 🙂
lol.
Sounds like a good idea, but I’m sure there’s already a lineup around the block. And Woz is probably hanging out there.
Oh I mean wait in the lobby of the apartment for the UPS guy. 🙂
I know. I was making a joke. 😉
Wherever Apple products go, there are lineups. If I go to set up a lawn chair in my apartment lobby, I have to get there at 4am or I’ll end up being 100th in line!
Here’s my head.. There goes your joke way over it.. lol. 😀
all you need is a postit note with your name and buzzer code and leave it at the buzzer panel 🙂
You can call ups and tell them your buzzer code now
I just called Apple to tell them to add that info. Hopefully it gets relayed to the UPS driver in time.
Got mines .. Ups saver shipment means it’s gonna be delivered before 12pm right
Do a track on it, where is it originating from? if its from the US, you will likely not see it tomorrow 🙁 UPS Express Saver is next day by 12noon in most cities.
We dislike using UPS here in a Vancouver suburb, because they are notoriously late (days). I was quite disappointed that Apple chose UPS over FedEx for the delivery of the iPhone. Especially considering they used FedEx to deliver my Leather Case yesterday. I will be very pleasantly surprised if it shows up tomorrow.
Same here, gotta wake up early on Friday!
I was without work for 6 months when my former Co-worker finally recommended me to start freelancing from home… It was only after I earned $5000 in my first month when I actually believed I could do this for a living! Now I am happier than ever… I work from home and I am my own boss now like I always wanted… I see a lot of unhappy people around me, working the same old boring job that’s sucking the life out of them day by day… Everytime I see someone like that I say START FREELANCING MAN! This is where I started
????????????? fav?.??/1p27o7U
Just got my ups email confirmation, iPhone 6 plus 64GB space grey arriving Friday night.
How do you know the time it will be delivered in your home?
He doesn’t. I’m assuming he wont’ be home until Friday night. I’m also hoping there is someone to sign for it, otherwise he may not get it until Monday….
Anyone from Rogers got email about shipment? I’m still waiting for email.
UPS Express Saver Delivery
Commitment: Next business day delivery by 12:00 noon to most metropolitan areas
Got my tracking number too. I’m upgrading from a 4s. Must go to Apple Store to get a free nano sim right after I receive my 6 plus.
You wouldn’t go to apple, you would go to whatever carrier you’re with to get their sim
My carrier Fido will charge me $10 for a nano sim. I asked Apple Store and they said they will offer me a Fido nano sim for free if I bring my 6 plus with me to the store…
I’ve heard of Apple Stores giving them out but I’d also tell FIDO that you aren’t paying for it and if you’re going to give your $10 to anyone, you’ll take your unlocked phone and pay someone else.
Same here. TELUS charges $10 for a SIM card also so I’m hoping when I pick up my phone tomorrow afternoon at the Apple Store that they will give me one.
I know it’s only ten bucks, but it just seems so chincy of carriers to charge for a SIM card that is required so that you can pay them hundreds of dollars a year.
With those new plans, hundreds of dollars a year is transforming into thousands of dollars a year….
If you ordered from telus, you’ll get a SIM with it. If you ordered from Apple, you will have to go get one at TELUS. Because there will be line-ups, try kiosks that don’t sell the iphone 6.
Thanks, but I did reserve and pick-up at the Apple Store so I’ll be in there to get my phone anyway.
I figure while the Apple employee is dinging my credit card for over $1,300 for the phone and Apple Care+, I’ll ask them to throw in a free SIM card that cost them nothing anyway. 🙂 Hopefully it won’t be an issue.
No, it won’t be an issue. That’s for sure. I had asked two apple stores and two of their staffs told me the nano sim is free. They don’t care about your invoice. They only care if you really have a 6 or 6 plus. So bring your iPhone.
Great, cheers! As I said, I’m picking up at the Apple Store so they should just give it to me during the checkout process.
You used the U corrected map
Yeap! same here received mine while I was sleeping.
I ordered mine on the 12th, but my delivery is estimated for mid October?? I’m in SW Ontario. Why?
Because the initial stock of 6+ sold out very quickly and you will be getting yours later (I’m in the same boat). Showed delivers 9/19-9/23 when I tried to add to cart, but by the time it actually got added and verified, the date had slipped to 3-4 weeks.
Aaaargh! Thanks Dave.
I was able to secure an in store pickup for a 6+ but only the 128gb version was available and I wanted 64. The extra $100 is a tough pill to swallow to get the phone tomorrow instead of mid October but patience is not a virtue I possess… 🙂
Cancel it and go line up tomorrow.
Got mine as well – Can’t wait!!
I ordered mine through a Bell Aliant Store in Halifax. Mine is still saying the standard can guarantee on the 19th. Bell Mobility confirmed that everyone who preordered gets this. But will I get it on Friday? or will I have to camp the dang store over night to get a retail phone instead? IMO if you preordered, you should be awarded a retail phone if its an upgrade and if it was paid in full.
I just called my local Bell Aliant Store and they told me they have iPhone 6 and 6+ on their purchase orders for today! Since I was the first one to preorder at this store, I am hoping I will get mine! I don’t want to jinx it so I am knocking on the virtual wood.
I ordered from a bell store in Halifax as well, still getting the same notification. Anything different for you yet?
Woke up this morning to see this notification on my iphone 5…very excited!
i get the email as well.. so excited :!)
Ordered the wrong colour of the iPhone 6+ 128GB in Montreal under my name as a reservation for in-store pickup… Ordered Space Grey instead of Silver… if anyone wants to swap reservations, let me know!
Looking for a swap too. I ordered the 6 plus would now prefer the 6. I’m in Southwestern Ontario, 64GB Slate. Pay me the difference between the two phones and we’ve got a deal!
Mine has shipped but my credit card hasn’t been charged yet….thinking there’s a delay. It was originally charged but the amount never showed up and my available balance has now been updated and my credit limit has been fully restored…..
I have the same situation, and I called Apple ask about this. They said some bank only hold the initial authorization for a few days, but once UPS took over your order, you credit card will be charged. Anyways, you are good, no need to worried.
Can’t say I was worried but if I didn’t get charged for some odd reason, I would have been put into an ethical dilemma.
Happy to get the UPS tracking but disappointed to find out that it’s expected to deliver to my home on Monday the 22nd even though I live downtown Toronto. 🙁
I’m willing to bet that they will be doing deliveries over the weekend. Or late into the evening past 6:00pm
Not necessarily. This is what they do. They can handle large volumes. This has nothing on a cyber monday sale.
UPS assumes they won’t get the package until tomorrow, hence the Monday delivery. Once they have the actual package later today, it will update itself to say that it’s going to be delivered tomorrow.
It ships via UPS Express Saver, which has a delivery committment of next day by noon.
Thanks for the info. The tracker updated and is expected to deliver Friday like you said.
Anyone get a shipped notice from Telus yet? Says it should ship today..
Nothing yet 🙁
Nothing here yet! So frustrating, My order number tracking doesn’t even work so I can’t check on the status!
Last year I didn’t get the ship notice until Friday morning with tracking but recall the shipping info showing it had shipped out Wednesday, and it did arrive Friday on time via Canada Post. Amazingly the tracking number still works from last year so I just edited my post.
me neither. god damned Telus….
Nothing here yet. Order still ‘approved’ and says will ship by the 18th (today). iPhone 6 16GB space gray.
Currently in Burlington ON according to packagemapping
Same. I called. Apparently unless they enter the updated tracking manually It won’t show its been picked up.
Anyone with Telus get their shipping info yet?
I ordered an iPhone 6 16GB SPACE GREY as soon as pre orders opened. They said it would ship by today (the 18th) but still nothing. My order is still ‘approved’ on the website, no tracking number.
Yeah, thats what I see also. I got iPhone 6 64GB SG which processed 10 minutes after pre-order opened. Hopefully well get some sort of tracking information today so we can make sure someone is home to sign for it tomorrow..
Yes exactly. I already made sure someone’s home tomorrow. Not missing an iPhone! 😉 I heard some people got them on the day of delivery last year (the tracking #) so we never know. Best of luck! 🙂
I order a 64GB iPhone 6 from Telus. I haven’t heard anything yet. They better not screw this up!
Mine still says the same thing since last Friday morning: order accepted, will ship by the 18th, allow 1-3 business days.”
It’s now 8:30pm on the 18th
mine says shipped.
yeap UPS has scanned the item and deliver before Noon Tomorrow… AWESOME
Got mine too! Now I just need to find a case somewhere. Last year, and the year before everyone sold out of them fast and no one will have them available today.
Do you have a 6 or a Plus? 6 cases (at least online) seem to be in stock, but most of the Plus cases aren’t even slated for release ’till end of the month. 🙁
The +
I had one ordered from Amazon that said “in stock”, most weren’t. But when I checked my order yesterday, it said “estimated shipping date October 16”. How is something “in stock” but not shipping for a month? I cancelled it because there’ll be some other options by then hopefully.
So I just checked my tracking and it sayd “Scheduled Delivery Updated To:Thursday, 09/18/2014, by 12:00″Does that mean i’ll be getting it today? That would be amazeballs!
Both of my phones say delivery today as well. But I seriously doubt it. The “last location” was not my local UPS depot.
I just called UPS and was told my package was with the driver and should be delivered by end of day today. Give them a call and see what they say.
I just refreshed the UPS tracking page and it got changed to tomorrow.
Damn, mine too.
They may well be ready to deliver today, but I’m sure Apple has given strict instructions not to deliver till tomorrow. That said, UPS screws up all the time, it’d be nice if they screwed up this time in a good way! 🙂
Mine shows that for one of my orders too. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but if it arrives today that would be a miracle.
MIne just updated back to the 19th by noon. Crap-o.
Yup, same here. No big surprise. It all comes down to how much your UPS driver loves you tomorrow!
Mine says by end of day, but express saver says items should be delivered by noon. Can anyone clarify?
Anyone getting shipping updates from phones ordered from the carriers on contract?
I preordered mine at a Wireless Wave last week (carrier is Fido). My friend works there and just sent me a message saying it has already arrived!
Seems like people who did in store preorders are getting them before people who did it online.
I didn’t even think I had a shot of getting one on launch day. I walked in at like 6pm on Saturday (SW Ontario) and put the $50 deposit down for a Space Grey 64gb iPhone 6. They had only done 8 preorders before me.
I kind of wish I had gone to a store instead of doing it through my carrier. But it was easy – that’s for sure.
I’m super excited, but am now worried about finding a case/screen protector for it so soon.
Who is your carrier?
Bell.
Scheduled Delivery Updated To:Friday, 09/19/2014, by 12:00
Mine says delivery date changed for 09/18 which is *TODAY*
Mine said that was well but the last location was in Ontario so I’m hopeful but skeptical as well.
It just updated for me:
Scheduled Delivery:Friday, 09/19/2014, By End of Day
yup, just updated to 09/19… lol
Mine just updated saying:
Scheduled Delivery Updated To:Thursday, 09/18/2014, by 12:00
I know it wont be today but that should at least mean tomorrow early. Not that I would complain about today mind you but considering it says it’s in Ontario and I’m in Vancouver I doubt it.
Call UPS. I did and they verified it was with a driver and would be here by the end of the day today.
UPS website just updated:
Scheduled Delivery:Friday, 09/19/2014, By End of Day
Crap, mine too.
Why do they feel the need to taunt us? 🙁
They’re all probably laughing their butts off right now. Well all but the phone operators who are probably getting a lot of calls.
Did anyone receive a notice from Bell of shipment?? My order is still being processed and it seems like I am not alone….. Upgrade
I went to the Bell Aliant store at 130p like they said and I was told they won’t know if they even will get any until tomorrow. What kind of BS is that? So I go to bed at 8 and get up a 5 to go to the store at its 8am opening and hopefully. Noone has cases anywhere though.
Mine was updated to say:
“Your iPhone is in the order queue. We expect to receive weekly shipments from Apple, so please check back regularly for updates. We will advise you as soon as your phone arrives.”
I am expecting it to not be there tomorrow.
Yup, exact same situation here. I can’t believe they aren’t able to update people on their order status. I’m even more shocked how out of the loop they keep their employees.
i called Lawrence ave bell they said they got a box from apple but its just the 6’s they think there 6+ should be in for the pre orders by early morning
Mine is still saying : A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our
facility, the tracking status–including the scheduled delivery
date–will be updated. Delivery is montreal
I did two separate orders through Apple. The first was for a 6+ which will be here tomorrow. Per UPS, it’s in Burlington and I’m in London so that is promising. The other was a regular 6 which was supposed to arrive between October 1st and 6th. Per Apple’s website, it has now gone “Preparing for Shipping”. Looks like it’s going to be early….
yeah my other one said “processing your order” Oct 2nd hopefully will arrive earlier 😉
I’m kinda disappointed my other one went Preparing for Shipping. I was going to pop into the Apple Store tomorrow and test my luck on getting a 64GB iPhone 6 for my wife and if successful just cancel the one I’d preordered. I can’t preorder now but I could still buy one tomorrow and return the preorder once it arrives.
but you probably have to line up now.. it will be crazy tomorrow ….
I’ll wait for it to come. It will probably be next week anyways
Mine is still saying : A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our
facility, the tracking status–including the scheduled delivery
date–will be updated. Delivery is montreal
Delivery was suppose to be 19/9 – 23/9
Anyone has the same information?
Mine says the same thing and I live an hour west of Toronto.
Just call and they also told me it will be deliverd today before end of day !
Updated information for UPS tracking: Was showing End of day today, but is now showing End of day Sept 19. I guess I got premature excited! 🙂
As long as that’s the only thing you premature about
Oh I’ll go premature on that white box when it gets here!! 🙂
I was going to say something nasty, but it’s likely better that I leave it. lol. Enjoy tomorrow…
Just called UPS too! Tomorrow (sept 19) by the end of the day!
UPS Updated for me, I am seeing “Scheduled Delivery: Friday, 09/19/2014, By End of Day” an hour east of TO.. Last location is Concord (Well only location so far). My stuff always seems to go to Belleville then back west to me so probably why I’m not getting by 12pm..?
UPS Express Saver is guaranteed next day and generally 12:00PM in Major Markets. Belleville is a mini-hub for UPS which explains why it goes there first. Someone isn’t going to get in a truck in Toronto and drive to you. I’m in London (which is considered a Major Market) and mine still says “end of day”. I start work at 8:30AM and the UPS guy is generally been here and left. I may see it first thing tomorrow morning, but then I may have to wait for round two in the afternoon.
I just got an email from rogers saying my device has been shipped and they also sent me a tracking #. I tried to track it and nothing came up lol. I ordered last friday at 5am. I hope I do get it tomorrow.
I just waited over an hour and a half on hold to get through to web orders on Telus…..the car told me there is no tracking number assigned to my device yet but that she believes my phone should be in the first batch?
Really confused as due to technical glitches I couldn’t even place my preorder until Monday afternoon!
They told me it would most likely arrive next week because it’s impossible tomorrow in 24 hours
When i preordered my 5 it arrived on time and I live far north, same with my iPhone 5s… Im hoping the 6 does the same
I sent them an email and they told me my order has been submitted for shipment and that it should be sent today. So I would hopefully get it tomorrow..
But if you only pre-ordered monday, I wouldnt expect to get it tomorrow..
Weird…I ordered mine on the 12th at 5AM EST and it says it should ship today. iPhone 6 16GB Space Grey. They confirmed it is coming from their Missisauga warehouse.
Any info for Fido, Reserve and Pick up option?
I also got the Shipment notification from apple and my carrier company is ups and earlier it showed me the was 18/9/14…. And i was amazed but after 5 minutes it showed a scheduled delivery for tomorrow 12 pm :(…… And i requested apple to give me a pre signature form so that the person at my building collects the package on my behalf ………..
My delivery time was “by noon” when I got the email this morning… I just tracked it again, and now it says “by end of day”… booo
I got mine last night around 11pm PST
where did you order from? and when? i preordered mine on the 12th 7:30am, and so far all i get is this:
By end of day 19th, in Montreal.
Can you confirm if you ordered from Apple or from a carrier?
From apple. last scan was today at 1pm in concord, on
Any one with Virgin Mobile hear anything? I can’t even check the website for an update 🙁
Bell has completely dropped the ball. No communication and their ‘iPhone status’ link does not work. They were happy to charge my credit card though. Not hopeful given how much more info others are receiving. Pre-ordered minutes after the on-line started. confirmation email minutes later. No other communcations since then.
Oh same, not happy at all!! however I did get a txt from bell thanking me for ordering an iphone 6 tonight. Nothing like rubbing it in, eh?
Received the same text. My fear is that is an indication that Bell only really started processing the online pre-orders yesterday. The Bell’s iPhone status website now recognized my order (via my mobilie number) but the message is “Your phone is in the oder queue. We expect to received weekly shipments from Apple…” Sounds like a stall tactic. Just some honest communications would be appreciated. The Live Chat agents were very vague at best. Disappointing.
Anyone get anything from Telus? Still nothing on my end. Still says it should have shipped today..
@DMan, I ordered the 12th at 5AM EST an iPhone 6 16GB Space Grey. Still no email. It says should ship today. I believe it has shipped but their email/inventory system didn’t update our order status. I’ve heard people only getting tracking numbers they day of the arrival of the phone…
Hmm, well I hope that we get information tomorrow. Its the worst part, not knowing that its even shipping on time. If it ends up that I would only get it Monday I could live with that, but Id like to at least have a heads up..
Anybody with anymore information about Bell’s iPhones? Last update I received still said it is in the order queue however the “we cannot guarantee delivery on the 19th” bit has been removed.
Same here with Bell. Horrible communication. I understand that demand is massive and is impacting their ability to service that demand but simply advising its customers with an accurate status would be appreciated. Called them as well. Nothing but crickets. They are missing an opportunity to impress and retain long-term cistomers. In reading the other posts it looks like Apple, Rogers, etc. have provided a much better customer experience. Oh well, its a smart phone – not the cure for the common cold.
I received emails stating they were shipped (ordered one for me and the wife) through Canada Post. They were shipped out of Mississauga around 10PM on the 18th and arrived in Calgary at 6AM today (19th)… but hasn’t updated since then with the tracking number. Bell didn’t state what priority it was shipped at and they still have it listed as in the order queue on the Bell tracking site. Not sure if I should get my hopes up that it will arrive today, or go with my original thoughts that it would be here sometime next week…
Mine still says Your iPhone is in the order queue. do u still have that message
Yes. Still in the order queue. I ordered it at 7:34am on Sept 12th. Brutal.
My order statsus changed today it says now. Based on the latest shipment information from Apple your phone is expected to ship within 4 Weeks. is that good news
Rogers definitely didn’t handle it better. No 6+ anywhere in Canada. Not even those who were in the top 5 reservations. Their system has been down for days for some customers. Rumor has it that they pissed off Apple somehow and are being punished.
Yep, the Rogers reservation system is a joke. I am position #13 and didn’t get anything and according to Rogers wireless I may not see my iPhone 6+ for up to 4 weeks.
I ordered at bell store & Mine still says Your iPhone is in the order queue. Does yours still say that Your iPhone is in the order queue, let me know please
Bell site still saying it is in queue, but I received an email with a Canadapost tracking number from them. It doesn’t appear that Bell has updated their website since about 7PM MST on the 18th… so they really aren’t offering much in the lines of support. I did find out (finally) that they are shipping xpress post, which is 1-2 business days… not looking good for today, so hopefully Monday. I work all weekend, so I guess I can wait 😛
When did u receive the Canada post tracking number and did u order at the Store like me and when did u pre order it at the sotre whitch date, & also are you goin for pick-up, please let me know
I ordered online the morning of the 12th. I got the email at 17:14 on the 18th with my tracking number. It will be delivered to my door, but when is still in question…
Sorry to be super picky, but what time on the 12th did you order? I put my order in at 5:45am on the 12th and haven’t heard anything yet… While my sister who ordered at 5pm on the 12th with telus will receive hers today!
Sorry, that is 5:45am mountain time…
I also did the same i ordered mine at the store at 9:00pm on September 12 but i didnt get a tracking number yet but mine is for pick-up
I live in a condo so I called UPS and asked if they can leave it with the front desk and have them sign on my behalf in case I’m not home but the person on the phone said I have to be the one to sign it. UPS expects the first attempt to be between 9am-7pm. I then asked will the second attempt be Saturday or Monday. He said Monday.
I asked if they could hold it at the depot and I pick it up instead. They said they have to make the first attempt first, and then I can request that I pick it up. But requesting them to hold it at the depot takes around 1-2 business days so I still cannot get it until next week unless I stay home all day on Friday.
Is this what it’s like before on launch day?
Still nothing from Telus here…I pre-ordered the iPhone 6 at 5AM EST and was guarantee it would ship on the 18th but order still shows ‘approved’… iPhone 6 16GB Space Grey. Anyone else not get their shipment emails yet? Think it has shipped anyway? I live in Montreal BTW. And Telus informed me my phone would be coming from the Mississauga warehouse. They also said I was part of batch 1 and all batch 1 phones were shipped. So very weird situation here…
I ordered mine the same time as you from Telus. I haven’t heard anything from them since I got the email saying the order was approved and that it would ship by sept 18. I ordered the 6 64 gb gold. No idea what batch my phone was shipped with, but I live in St. John’s, so I probably won’t get mine today.
I spoke to a person who said my order was submitted for shipping and that I should get it today. I’m in montreal also and I feel like they are shipping with canada post which is maybe why there is no tracking info yet. We *should* get our phone today but… Who knows… Sigh.
Out for delivery:) iPhone 6 plus
with what carrier? or from apple?
From Apple, southern Ontario
Anybody with Telus? Such a friggin piss off
Still no delivery notice from Telus. They said ship today though…..
Me, and nothing yet. Anyone Ive contacted with Telus has very minimal information. INFURIATING!
Apple has carrier partners that they have to provide phones to but they tend to serve their own stores first. I’ve tried both the carriers and Apple in the past and had always had more luck with Apple.
Got my telus tracking number. No email… Had follow the link from my receipt email to check the status.
