Any Best Buy orders updated?

[UntitledImage]

Mine got pushed back too- we had 2 42mm space gray sports on order. Ordered at 11am EST after stewing over missing out on the window at Apple. Luckily I did not cancel my Apple order that is expected 22nd-26th! I canceled best buys order for the watches though.

I'm not sure about the coupon usage, but I'm sure gonna try to use it!

Anyone that is using the 50 dollars to buy some sports bands,I found these bands on Amazon for 7.00 dollars. The reviews were great,I got mine today and you literally can't tell a difference between the apple bands and these. Maybe save you gift card for something else.

I have 2 on the way. I didn't pre-order from Best Buy but if I did there's no way I'd use my $50 certificate on something that probably cost $1.50 to make.

Is anyone going to try an Apple Store tomorrow as apposed to Best Buy?

 

[Bbafett]

I know it is unlikely but does anyone know if there is a possibility of Best Buy stores 'amazingly' having series 2 in stores tomorrow? And if so can you get one from the store and have them pair with the online order? I will probably go to ours b/c I will be in the area tomorrow anyway to look.

I am not as the closest Apple store is almost an hour away and I seriously doubt I would find one there anyway based on stock issues.

I would say tonight/early tomorrow morning..like after midnight..., Best Buy store inventory info changes. Meaning that its listed as preorder now, but overnight, you should have the option to pay online and pickup in store tomorrow. That is if your specific store has stock in.

That is EXACTLY what I'm going for. I believe the Apple Store updates the inventory just before midnight.

Keep in mind, if an item is listed as Coming Soon, that normally means their out of stock. However, if a price shows up...(depending on what the item is) , it should be available for in store pickup.

I think that BB and BB online operate as separate entities for the most part. The part where they meet up (online pickup and in-store returns) always feels very kludgy because of this.

The BB delay story just got weirder on my end. I paid via PayPal because I had a big PayPal balance that I used towards the watch. Even though I got the delay email, yesterday BB took the PayPal funds out of my account (and my bank account for the remainder). Not sure why they'd take the money now, knowing full well they won't get me the product for 2 weeks. So even if I manage to get my hands on 1 tomorrow, I'll have to cancel and wait for that refund now. Thanks, Best Buy.

Well that is strange. They haven't charged my card yet.

Did they refund (or not charge) your account before that? Why would you want a refund if you end up getting a watch tomorrow?

Bestbuy employee here. Don't hold your breath on finding a series 2 watch Friday. I do not believe bestbuy will turn on the online ordering tommrow either as Apple products sell so fast at launch,inventory is always off.

I would at least give it a shot at least. It may be active. If it is, put the order in and pick it up in store.

If its not available or it doesn't allow you to pick it up in store, then had to the store .... preferably before they open so that you can have somewhat of a good chance of grabbing one.

I work for best buy as well ☺

My best buy already has apple watch series 2 on hand ready for sale tomorrow. Manger said that starting early tomorrow morning you should be able to pay online for pickup in store.

Thanks for the info... do you know at exactly what time the status might change? Midnight eastern? Midnight Pacific?

I just called BB - They say their in-store Apple Watch 2 will be expected by first week of October.

I called two of my local Best Buys and one said they won't get any in store til the 28th and the other said they don't have any now and don't show any coming in tomorrow, but that the might get some shipped in overnight. I am calling both of them tomorrow to verify they don't have any. Are you sure your best buy will have Series 2 and not Series 1? Is it possible that person you spoke to had the wrong model and didn't realize they were different?

spoke to bestbuy online, they told me that Apple had delayed the launch...i asked...so u are saying there will be no watched available tomorrow right? she answered yes thats right. ****ing morons.

Lol how stupid do they think people are? Why don't they just tell the truth and say 'we messed up, we took your orders knowing fully that we wouldn't get the watches to us from Apple til sept 28th.'

I might be stupid..

Question - was promised 9/16 and email states new date of 9/28 just like pretty much everyone else who ordered from BB.

Question is: will they ship on 9/28 or will I receive it on 9/28?

I spoke directly to the store manager as he is a friend. I had him verify they were series 2. He even told me what colors they had but wouldn't tell me the quantities. So either he is completely mistaken or lying to me.

Okay. Well hopefully my stores get some stock. Did he say if it would be difficult to get the online purchase resolved at the store?

I did not ask him that specifically but he did specifically say that over night its very possible that the option for instore pick up would show up.

I'm a half hour away from midnight. I hope the website refreshes then!

Even if you're on the east coast the in store options don't change until midnight pacific time from my experience. So if it's even an option, it probably won't show until 3am.
