Best Buy now letting you "Check Store" for iPP accessories

[ZombiePete]

Anyone with knowledge of Best Buy's procedures know when they tend to receive deliveries daily and when they get entered into inventory?

Generally you can start seeing their inventories get updated after the stores open (typically 10am), and then they'll be updated throughout the day. I think it depends on the store, but I have been told that they get deliveries throughout the day rather than one big delivery overnight, so you'll see inventory pop up sporadically throughout the day. I saw this a lot when I was hunting for the Pencil last week; it would appear at a store in Austin for maybe ten minutes or so and then disappear (I assume because someone had purchased it). The Pencil I ultimately bought appeared at a store in San Antonio at around 4pm.

So, bottom line, you have to keep watch all day or you can miss it if it's something people are after.

I just checked the bestbuy in store pickup and all the missouri stores said the pencil would be available on nov 28. Which was different from the none within 250 miles I was getting earlier.

just placed an order for pickup on dec 3 in san jose. any chances it will be available before that date? ie, if BB gets new shipments, would they honor reserved orders first before putting it on the shelves?

I just placed an order for a smart keyboard in the Chicago area, and it's supposed to be at the store (or delivered to your home if you'd rather) this Friday. It looks like A LOT of stores are supposedly getting stock of the keyboards, if the site is to be believed. Might be worth a shot!

ETA: looks like those times are slipping now too...back to December 3rd at the moment.

Just picked mine up in Dallas. Checked Best Buy inventory around 9:45 am, only one store in the entire area had pickup option -- so I immediately purchased and got the pickup e-mail within 15 minutes. The employee who helped me in the store pickup line wasn't even sure what the product was for.

Which Best Buy in Dallas? Is it the one on Midway and LBJ?
