Hey Everyone! 😀
Welcome back to my annual Apple Reservation thread! Once again Apple will announce their new iPhone 12 line up! Once they do, Rogers will Open up their reservations for the phones! I will do a life update to make sure everyone is up to date! This line up will Include the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max ( the Pro Max will be pre ordered and released in mid November as per many leaks).
Review the account information next to your selection.
The email address must be auto-populated in the right section of the reservation form. Otherwise, you can’t reserve a device.
If the email is not auto-populated, first add the email address in the appropriate field of your My Account profile. Then, log out and log back in.
Select a store to pick up your phone.
Review the reservation details and click I AGREE to accept the Terms and Conditions.
Click Reserve to complete the reservation. A store representative will call you when the device is ready for pick-up.
Make sure you understand that you will have to sign a new contract which now you have to pay taxes upfront for the device and pay monthly for it. This is the new way of getting a device.
How to reserve if you’re a new customer
Go to https://www.rogers.com/web/link/DeviceReservation?forwardTo=nrsRegisteredCustomer
Click Sign Up and enter your email address. ( It may tell you to also input all your info again.)
Under Phone Information, choose the device you want to reserve, and click Continue. Only devices available for reservation will appear.
Fill out the form under Personal Details and click Continue.
Fill out the Payment Details for the refundable $40 reservation fee and click Continue.
Select a store for device pick-up and click Continue.
Review the reservation details and click I AGREE to accept the Terms and Conditions.
Click Reserve to complete the reservation. A store representative will call you when the device is ready for pick-up.
Keeping you up posted along the way
You’ll receive the following confirmations:
An email after completing the reservation
Weekly status emails confirming you number in line on the waiting list
An email when the device has been shipped to the store. (Includes a delivery tracking number)
Phone call from a store representative when the device is ready for pick-up
Good things to know
Phone can only be reserved, not purchased ( The purchase of the device will be done in store)
You can change the pick-up location when the online order status is open. If the order status is in progress or shipped, the location cannot be changed
Shipments typically take up 4 days, and your device is held in store for 3 days ( The delivery can be next day in most cases)
If you don’t pick up your phone within 3 days, the reservation will be cancelled and be sold to a walk in customer. You can make alternate arrangements with the store manager if need be.
Only the account holder or an authorized level 1 user (someone authorized to make changes on the account) can pick up the phone. Photo ID is required when picking up the phone.
If a reservation was made to a location that is now closed, We’ll send the device to the closest Rogers store or authorized dealer in the area. The new store will contact you when the device arrives and is ready for pick up.
Reservation Fee
“What about this $40 reservation fee? Will it be returned to me?” You betcha. You’ll get a credit of $40 (+ taxes) for the reservation fee on your account if you reserved as an existing customer or to the original credit card if you reserved to activate a new line. Your reservation fee will be credited when:
Your phone ships from our warehouse or
You cancel your reservation online.
Before you go to the store to pick up your new phone, why not get a quote for your old phone and trade it in for a credit!
Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse, goes to the store & they call you.
For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confuses about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.
I know its alot to read at the moment but i am trying to cover all the bases for everyone so everyone knows how the reservation works and what they need to know! as always do not be afraid to ask any question you have as I or any other member will answer it for you. I will do my best and answer all questions 😺

I've been looking at the Shaw service here in BC, looks like a great deal and we are already using Shaw. I'm going to stop in tomorrow to talk to them, get away from this Rogers nonsense once and for all.

Yeah I agree Rogers is a little confused, I got my phone on Sunday and they just send me an email saying that I won’t receive it for another 2-3 weeks.

Nov 07 - Order two new lines + 2 Pro Max 256gb
Nov 25 - Received email that my lines are activated and I was able to see them added to my account
* 2 hours later received an email, saying the device order got delayed, will be delivered within 1-2 weeks. wth? Didn't they activate lines once they got devices in the warehouse?

Same question. I just received an e-mail stating that there are changes on my account. That the new phone is already activated and that I have to pay for it starting today November 25, the wireless agreement attached also has the IMEI but there is no update when I will be getting the phones. What does that mean? I am already getting charged even if I do not have the phone yet? I am trying to reach an agent right now.
I ordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB Gold on November 11, 2020. (phone upgrade, ship to home option)
Today, November 25, 2020. I received an e-mail that the phone was added to the account and the wireless agreement with the IMEI.
Update:
I spoke to an agent, the phone has already been picked up by courier but no tracking number has been provided yet. Agent said I will receive the phone within 2 business days.

Phone Ordered: iPhone 12 Pro Max, 256GB, Gold
Date Ordered: 11th of November, 2020
Delivery Option: Ship to Home (Scarborough, Ontario)
On the day I placed the order, I only received the order confirmation e-mail and that's it.
Not a single update received until 25th of November, 2020, where they sent me the e-mail of the changes on my account - Wireless Service Agreement, Rogers Terms of Service and Other Service Agreement, Critical Information Summary and Financing Agreement. -- although, I have contacted Rogers support team because I did not even know the phone was backordered when I placed the preorder. After 2 and a half hours, I received the shipment confirmation e-mail with the tracking number.
I got the device on 26th of November, 2020, 10 hours after the shipment confirmation.
The package was shipped thru Purolator from Oakville, Ontario.

I've contacted Rogers twice and they've confirmed my order still exists. It was even suggested that if I could find the the phone elsewhere, they would still honor my retention bonus. I know it's been said in this forum that it's really an Apple problem but I don't think that's completely true. Something has gone wrong with Rogers' ordering system.
