Well, I can't answer for him, but I have lived next to Canada for most of my life, and I totally read that as "Ontario, Canada."
But considering I could almost throw a baseball into Ontario, I guess it's not surprising.
Funny. For those of us here in SoCal it's a major airport w some sort of town around/under it. I immediately read the post as "his VZ iPhone is at the UPS hub at Ontario airport."
Canada has a town (or state-thingy) named after an airport in SoCal? Who'da guessed that.
Are the people that are receiving the tracking numbers/shipping confirmations only people that ordered their phone through Verizon? I ordered mine through Apple's website as I had gift cards to use, and my order just says "Prepared for Shipment"... and I'm in CA not too far from Ontario.

If you have the order location number and order number, you can create a reference number for FedEx shipments.
... weather might be an issue here in Oklahoma. No UPS deliveries for at least the past three days in my neighborhood. Several more inches of snow predicted on Super Bowl Sunday. Tracking info only says "A label for this shipment has been created, but UPS does not yet have possession of this shipment. Once we receive the shipment, the tracking status will be updated." That's as of 10:30 CST Friday night.
Why would you advertise a pre-order as "first come, first serve" and "ship on or before Feb 10" then hold the shipment? I checked my credit card and the charge for my iPhone 4 is still pending so my phone has not shipped. FedEx is saying "delivery by 3:00 PM Monday Feb. 7". If Apple holds shipments until Feb 10 they are just another "Big Brother" as Microsoft is.
My order was placed at 2:58AM on 2/3. Talked to UPS local facility and it should be out for delivery Monday morning before 10:30AM. Darn, but it is coming. I did ask if I could pick it up and I can't. The guy who took my call was nice and let me know he tried once to see if he could get something early but the packages are an pallets to be sorted. I can go an pick up Monday AM but at that point I'll just wait.
Hope everyone can get theirs soon.

I got somewhat of an explanation from a Verizon Wireless CSR.
Certain pre-orders were randomly selected to receive what he called a "beta" shipment, meaning if you already have a tracking number, you will receive your order BEFORE the 10th of February.
For those of you (and myself) who's order status shows shipped and you have been charged, but you have not received a tracking number you are in pre-shipping status. Their system charges your credit card when you package's shipping label is created and scanned. He said Verizon and Apple are holding those shipments until 1 or 2 days before the 10th of February, so they will be delivered ON the 10th of February.
He said so basically it is sitting in their other warehouse in a box, with a shipping label on it with thousands of other iPhones waiting for FedEx to pick them up.
Whether this is correct or not, it makes some sense.

I guess the most important thing here is that they are finally on the way!

What if the speculation is true, and 1,000,000 iPhones were sold on Thursday. It would be possible that UPS and FedEx would randomly spread out delivery rather than being saddled with 1,000,000 iPhones dropped into their overnight supply channel in the same day.

They never advertised that. It was always going to ship on February 10. So per the agreement you made with them by buying the phone, the soonest you could expect it to ship was next Thursday. If they get it to you earlier that is a bonus, not something they told you they would do or that you should expect. How shipping it when they told you it would ship makes Apple like Big Brother or Microsoft isn't clear to me. On a related note, Apple fans will really find anything to bitch about, won't they.
I've been lurking here long enough so I finally decided to sign up.
I received a call from my wife informing me that my Verizon iphone has just been delivered. I guess it will be a long afternoon at work waiting to get home.
Good luck to everyone else waiting for their new iphones to arrive.

Can anyone confirm...

I don't see anything labeled "order location number" in the email I received, I just see the order number.
Don't forget, that already happened in the movie South Park - we declared war on Canada - funny stuff.
Good lord, does no one study history anymore? It already happened in South Park?
That's where the iPhone is, not where it is going. ^^ Not sure why it is coming from Canada though!
Ordered mine at 4am and got my tracking number around noon.
It's Ontario, CA, that's where mine shipped from also.

To be fair, it was still part of the British Empire then, and it wasn't the only place the U.S. invaded.

I ordered mine through Verizon Wireless, since it was an upgrade for me.
Hope everyone can get theirs soon.

I believe we figured that out about 5 posts ago, nor have I ever been near the west coast
