and the back story is…? bad credit? wrong info sent to them? they don't cancel orders without a reason.
actually they do.. does no one remember the ATT order cancelling crisis that went on last year? their system cancelled hundreds of preorders for no apparent reason all across the country. i was one of those orders. the story broke on the internet first, so i called my ATT store and they told me everything looked fine with my order, then the next day, i receive the email saying my order had been cancelled. ATT had no excuses for it and basically told me i was SOL. they wouldnt even hold one of the extra phones they were receiving for first come basis, even though they knew i was one of the first preorders on the list at that store. terrible customer service. thats why i will never order another thing from them. half of the employees are morons too and dont have the slightest idea what they are talking about when it comes to iphones.
i ended up having to stand in line at the apple store to get it last year. this year decided to preorder on apples site. was hoping for an in store pickup though because it was actually pretty fun and entertaining being there for the release!
