Which version of the iPhone? I know the higher end 6+'s (64GB, 128GB) have had a lot of delays from Apple themselves. Even Apple's website lists all the 6+ models as having a 4 week delay still. The regular 6 has a 7-10 day wait.

Regular 6, space gray, 64GB.
I haven't heard of any other retailer taking months to ship a regular 6. I ordered on the first day of preorders.

For a regular 6 that is a bit weird. When you call Telus, what do they say about it? And is the corporate retailer Telus themselves or a third party company selling Telus devices and plans to corporate clients?

It's the latter, a third party retailer. I haven't contacted Telus directly, but a representative from the retailer recently informed me that they will be seeking assistance from Telus HQ. The problem seems to be that Apple would rather send inventory to retailers and international markets that they consider more important in order to keep up with their orders.

2 Months is highly unusual for a pre-order not being shipped, specially if it's not the iPhone 6 Plus. I would contact TELUS directly and have them either look into it. Alternatively, if they can cancel it, you could then get one from a store (pending inventory availability).

Canceling and buying elsewhere isn't an option if I want the phone on a corporate rate plan. I don't know that contacting Telus directly will help. The sales rep I've been in contact with says that they will be seeking help from Telus HQ, so I take it that they are or soon will be aware of the situation.

Is the corporate rate for your own small business or for your employer?

Corporate (employee) offers are at arm's length from Telus. Just about any support you need occurs through the dealer. Also, since many large corps are buying a generation back (at least ours is), and the dealer usually also has full price customers, the supply of the newest phones for corporate employee plans may be restricted.

NFtoBC,
Basically, you're saying that I'm lucky that they are offering the latest model at all?
Lol. I guess that's true.

@andrew7783 That's how it was for our 20,000 employee organization! The newest phones were (are) in short supply every year. I ( and colleagues ) find it often loosens up before December, so you should be able to gift yourself for Christmas. Frustrating as all he77, especially when salivating over the new release.
I take it you have chosen the 6 not the 6+? Let us know how much you enjoy it once you have it.
