Best Buy Pre-Order Availability

[jaseone]

Just keep in mind that a single store's inventory doesn't reflect all stores and also that the overwhelming majority of people that ordered at Best Buy wouldn't even know what Mac Rumors is.
[doublepost=1473976639][/doublepost]Best Buy just reversed their initial charge, which was for the sales tax plus the first month of AppleCare+ seeing how I went with AT&T Next and charged another amount just for the AppleCare+ first payment, because I'm guessing AT&T will charge me the tax after paying Best Buy it or however that works.

I wouldn't trust anything a customer service rep tells you especially phone or chat support even with a grain of salt.

I know well... just hoping for the best.

Do you have a link to this page? I don't have anything that says Chat with an Expert on my screen anywhere.

My phone has not changed status at all. My 128 GB Black Matte 7 Plus is still "In Process." Ordered at about 2:30 AM Central time on 9/9.

I still can't find it either. I'm on mobile though so maybe that's the reason.

Don't bother with the chat. They told me you have to call the main Customer Service number. The agent then disconnected the chat.

Just got the dreaded Best Buy order delay email. Ordered iPhone 7+ Black 128GB at 3:45AM shipping to my house.

BUT THEY GAVE ME A $100 GIFT CARD.

Still sucks and f*** BB for wasting my time but whatever.

Thank you for pre-ordering the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus with Best Buy.

Unfortunately, there's been a delay in getting you your device. We apologize for the inconvenience, as we know you are excited about your new phone.

Your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus is expected to arrive by Friday, Oct. 7, perhaps sooner depending on your location.

Also, we want to try and make up for the delay by offering you a $100 discount on your next purchase at Best Buy.

See.. that is all I want to know. Do I plan on driving over tomorrow or not? That is all I want to know. If they are processing the pre orders in store, I just want to see movement on my best buy order tracking page.

I HATE BEST BUY! SAME EMAIL HERE.....

 

[sealos]

wow... just got the same email.

At least the $100 gift card will soften the blow a bit. I have another iPhone 7 Plus arriving tomorrow from Apple. It isn't the color I wanted.

 

[stu00a]

Just got an email from Best Buy that my rder will be delivered by October 7 and also offered me $100 gift card!

 

[sealos]

FWIW i just stopped in to BBY (Apex, NC) to pick up a couple of accessories and chatted up the store manager. He said he did not get any 7+ in the 256 capacity in.... even for pre-orders. He mentioned a 10/7 fulfillment date.

Looks like it was a good idea to switch to ship to home instead of pick up. Hoping i get that shipment email soon.

Looks like the store manager gave me some good intel... 10/7 matches the date I just got from Best Buy.

 

[walt7788]

Yup, just got the email as well. Delayed until Oct 7, or sooner. $100 BB credit....

I'm not going to complain--I'm using 2 year contract extension to keep VZ UDP at $29, getting a subsidized phone, and going to use it on ATTso I don't lose UDP. Plus $100 credit now. So feels like a wash. I used to be crazy about getting the phone on launch day, not anymore, so that's good.

But if I were buying this phone outright, and was intent on getting it on launch day phone, I'd be upset.

3 week delay. Annoying, but I'll live.

 

[sealos]

So ... if we use the $100 to buy something before we get the actual 7 Plus is delivered on 10/7... will we still be able to return the iPhone?

 

[lyngo]

I received the same email. No big deal. That does soften the blow a TON actually. It will come when it comes.

 

[rohizzle121]

So how do we cancel our pre orders and get the free upgrade/subsidy from ATT?

 

[einmusiker]

Mine has shipped and will be here tomorrow. I can't believe it since I ordered so late. I guess sales are down?

 

[mikeb13]

I haven't received that email like you guys. Maybe there's still hope i will get mine tomorrow.

I haven't either.

Though mine is for in store pickup. I don't know what this means.

Just got an email says phone delayed till oct 7. BUT I got a 100 off coupon !
