Ordered iPhone 5

St3ven · Nov 12, 2012, 12:20 AM

Hi guys i know this is my first post here but i've been getting answers from this forum for quite some time now. Well let me cut to the chase. I could not find anywhere that had iPhone 5 in stock at the moment, so i went to the mall and went to my target store that just re-opened again. I went in and had asked a worker about the iPhone 5. She said she had the model i wanted for AT&T but i would have to order it and get it shipped to my house in two days time, priority overnight shipping. I was charged $799 + tax for a 32gb white iPhone 5 AT&T unactivated no contract. She gave me my receipt and told me i could check the status at this website:

http://www.targetmobileorderstatus.com/wirelessd2u/

I put in my phone number and it says no order was found, however it might just be that its the day i purchased it & i'll have to wait untill tomorrow or such for it to register. I have tried to researched Direct2U and i've found very little information. Never heard anything about it before. All this seems very concerning and shady to me. I've never bought a mobile phone or an iphone from target before. May someone shed some light on this situation please?

Thank you!

You think you got scammed by a giant big name box store? And you have proof of payment? You know it's a sunday too, right? You gotta chill out, I ordered my phone from a small carrier store THATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY over EMAIL, and I heard nothing about my order at all until the phone arrived after a month.

Hmm, i guess i am being a bit paranoid. I guess i just have to wait a little and see if it comes. It sucks that the apple store refuses to sell it off contract atm ( they were launch week and a few after that ) or else i could've got it up front in hand and for cheaper too.
