Thats what I am saying. they said at each store they will fill all preorders that they possibly can, and if they fill all of say iPhone 6s SG 64 gb and they have left over than they will sell the rest of that one to walk ins
But I'm looking for 6S Plus.. Anyone who wants a 6S tomorrow will get one. That's not the issue. If all 6S+ preorders, BUT mine, get filled tomorrow am.. then I certainly won't be able to get a 6S+ as a walkin either. (I'm preordered 6S+ w/BB).. So I'm wondering if I should go to Apple Store instead..

Thats what I was saying...I wouldn't go wait at a best buy store cause they will have limited to absolutely zero stock lol...I went to my at&t store and there is 1 lone sole already camping out, and she said they barely got any 6s + to begin with
 
But that would happen whether or not they had stock of the phone. That's not really telling us anything.
 
Just went to another best buy to look at stuff. They have an apple sales guy there. He told me I shouldn't worry too much and that best buy actually is getting a ton of them

The info I got last night from the nearby BB was very much the same.

well no I just wanted to see what yours was doing...my account was charged the night i ordered than went away and now is a pending charge for some reason? Just wanted to check if anybody else was the same way..

Everyone who got an email saying they can pickup their phone today is getting a $20 gift card from Best Buy. :)

Mistakes happen, they fixed it.
 
How and why is it that far away for delivery when it's being shipped today? What shipping method did you use?
 
I was first one in store the Saturday morning they started pre-orders. Ordered 64 GB Verizon 6s Plus Space Gray. Haven't heard anything. Just called the store and they said they haven't gotten their inventory in yet and had no idea what they'd actually be getting. Last few years I've done the pre-order only to not get a notification, but when I show up in store, they have stock available and I just buy it that way and cancel the pre-order. But I wasn't trying to get the Plus in years past. I'm hoping the plus is easier to come by now that they've got a bit more experience with making them and knowing how they'll sell.
 
Unbelievable! I just physical went to Best Buy and asked Assistant Manager about my order. He checked and said my order didn't come in. He said only 5 iPhone 6s Plus 64 gb Verizon came in. I highly doubt someone in my same area did it befor I did at 3:30 in the morning! Whatever. I know I'll never preorder here again after this!

I've gotta say, Best Buy always frustrates the hell out of me leading up to getting a new iPhone, but I have generally had an easy time of actually getting what I want on day one without having to wait in crazy lines at Apple Stores. That's why I keep going back. I'm just trying to keep cool and hope things work out. I would still show up first thing in the morning though if I were you. Like I said before, last few years I didn't get pickup confirmations despite them having what I want in store. I don't know if it's a mistake or they have shady practices, but I do know that when I show up, I typically get what I want.

I plan on running by before 8 when they open...and I swear if an att iPhone 6s+ space gray sells to a walk in customer I will flip my lid since I preordered
 
I'm just hoping the plus this year is like the gold was last year. Gold was impossible to find when it launched with 5s, but it was easy to pick up when the 6 hit.
 
Yeah I bet you anything there not doing who did preorders first! I bet you anything there all walk in people that preordered.
 
I received this email from the Best Buy gm after inquiring the status:

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to me. Currently, our team is sorting through the models we do have in store and we are still receiving units from Apple. However, I do not have information on your order specifically yet. We have a team that will be in the store very early tomorrow morning to sort and secure pre-orders. I will have a member of that team inform you ASAP tomorrow morning as to whether we will have your pre-ordered unit in store tomorrow. I'm sorry I can not provide an answer this evening, but will ensure that you are aware of the circumstances regarding your pre-order no later than 8am tomorrow. Also, we will open early at 8am for the launch. Stay tuned, and we'll be in touch as soon as we can! Thanks again for your patronage and Happy Apple launch day!
