Ordered a 7+ today, and it was shipped TODAY as well?! Go buy a lottery ticket now! You just jumped hundreds of people in line for a 7+!
Thats incorrect, there is an exception for mobile/things that come with a contract
Also, how are you ordering online from Best Buy? Every time I go to their site it says the iPhone 7 and 7+ are in stores only...
Pre-Ordered the IP 7+ Black 256gb last friday and still no movement. Still haven't gotten an email from them either.
i'm looking at BB's website and it has some IP7/7+ models available to purchase (they don't ship right away though).
However, for the ones i'm clicking on, the "Buy Device Without A Plan" option is $100 more than the MSRP of the phone.
i.e. - $1069.99 for the IP7+ 256gb instead of $969.99.
anyone seeing this error? (I'm assuming it's an error)

Well it was online this afternoon for me. Here's the shipping info from the site.

Today at 1:49pm I received two emails from BB – one with their device agreement and the other confirming that I could pick up today. Ordered a 7+ 256gb RG online on 9/10 at 11:45am. I live near the Seattle area.
[doublepost=1474065360][/doublepost]But...I will never order an iPhone from BB again. Their customer service is horrendous - email, twitter, etc.

Still no emails and changes in my BB account. I would like to get that $100 GC from best buy delayed email.
I got another upgrade from 1 of my line in my account. If I use 1 and buy from Apple.com can I cancel it when BB come through or whoever comes first? Apple is 2-3 weeks for 7+ 128 black. Please help. Thanks

I agree. I will never pre-order an iphone from Best Buy again.
[doublepost=1474068348][/doublepost]Just received an email from BB that my phone was delayed till 10/7. This sucks but i got the $100 gift card. This was for an in store pick up.
Got the email saying my pre-order for store pickup is delayed until Oct 7 as well, came with the $100 discount on next purchase. Nice gesture but there's nothing I want from them.
Anyone use the code to buy something and then cancel their pre-order afterwards? Do they just charge the full amount of whatever you bought to your credit card?

Why tell lies?
Best Buy does not mark them up.

Best Buy is the same price, NOT marked up.
Also they had iPhone 7 Plus models in stock this morning.
You know this is stuff you can look up right?
iPhone 7 32GB Rose Gold
Apple - $649
Best Buy - $699.99
Just a heads up. Best Buy does not accept cell phone returns past 14 days. For any reason, and it doesn't matter if you are elite or elite plus. Cell phones are an exception to the 30 and 45 day extended rules. The +$100 price you see is not a mistake, it is a markup.
The marked up price can only be matched if you ordered on the website by calling 1-888-237-8289.

Oh well the delayed email finally found my inbox with $100.
Just like almost everyone here can I use the GC and cancel? If not I'm ok waiting since it's about the same time frame with apple 2-3 weeks.

No, you cannot. You would be charged the $100 to your original form of payment.
