Anyone order Series 7 thru Best Buy?

Yep. Not sure if it was a glitch or what but ordered mine with them too. Delivery next Friday.
45 mm midnight. Was $399. But Best Buy also let me use a 10% off customer appreciation coupon. So it ended up being $359.10.
Yes got a midnight 45mm for $399 before my rewards. It looks like they fixed the pricing but better not screw us by cancelling because of a mistake they made.
How are they screwing you? I’m sure they’ll honor the price but if they cancel which they’ve done before with pricing mistakes how is that screwing you?
Because if they cancel my order that I completed in the first few minutes I would then need to reorder and then be backordered. Pretty simple.
I pre-ordered the 41mm Midnight GPS for $399. Email states the order will ship by 10/15, but when I click on “Make Shipping Changes”, it states it’ll ship by Monday Oct. 25…Confusing to say the least.
Has anyone ordered from Best Buy before and had their pre-orders ship/arrive on time? I guess by on-time I mean shipped/delivered on launch day like you’d order from Apple direct?

I ordered 45mm Midnight GPS from Best Buy within a minute once the pre-order began. It’s exactly the same thing with shipping dates for me as you mentioned above. And there are no shipping updates showing up on my UPS choice account as well. So I guess we may receive it later than those who pre-ordered directly from Apple.
I ended up cancelling my order. Will go to Best Buy this weekend to see them in person, try it out on my wrist and then get it. No point in waiting longer than necessary.
I just realized I may have ordered Starlight instead of Midnight. The Best Buy site shows a picture of the midnight watch but it says Starlight in the description, so I don’t know what’s coming
edit: I think Best Buy’s description must be wrong because I searched the model number and it’s the midnight case

Same here! I couldn't believe the coupon actually worked since Apple products are usually exempt. I also used $75 in rewards.
Has anyone's Best Buy order shipped yet? Mine is still just showing "pre-ordered" but no tracking information.
I ordered Series 4 watches from BBY and they did not deliver on launch day like they promised. In fact it said they were arriving on launch day until the day AFTER launch.
I ended up being able to find my wife’s watch about a week later at a local BBY and mine shipped a few days after that.
Needless to say, I’d only order from them if I didn’t care about launch day delivery or got a significant price savings by using them.
Just noticed some stainless steel’s aren’t available for pre order anymore. I hope this doesn’t mean they’re backordered more than we thought.
I see. I'm in no rush to get one; this would be my 1st watch so I can wait. Really, the only reason I'm purchasing through BBY is because Amex is giving extra points on my card. I'll wait till the weekend to see them in store, I guess.
I ordered a 41mm Starlight and my shipping status still says expected to ship by 10/15, so I don't think I am getting it on release day, but hopefully by Monday, which happens to be my birthday.
I too ordered from Best Buy for all of the above reasons, mine originally stated it would SHIP by October 25th when I ordered it last Saturday (canceled my Apple order) it still said Ship by October 25th as of Monday then yesterday changed to "we'll notify you when it will be ready to ship after a Release Day is announced" I have no idea what that means other than guessing they are back ordered and have no idea when they are coming, but I am guessing the SS gold and suspect there are none of these coming in so not worth a trip to the store on Friday to try to purchase one.
OK does not look like im getting my watch Friday as promised. BB said free two day shipping. Well I would have expected it to ship today. Still no word. However, I did check change shipping information and that says Monday the 25th… Ohh well…
That is weird bc my shipping information in the Change Shipping Options is still showing as ship by 10/15
I have a preorder through Best Buy (Red, 45, cellular) with an October 15 date in the original confirmation e-mail. No where in the status does it now state a date. The option to make shipping changes is grayed out, but I do still have the option to cancel, so we’ll see what happens.
If I hadn’t had the Best Buy rewards and card member bonus discounts I would have stuck with the more informative order status system you get with an Apple.com order. I preordered a 13 mini from Best Buy (in-store pickup) and it was available on launch day as promised. Good luck, everyone!
