Ouch, mine is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday. This is just the one I ordered for re-sale though. My order from Verizon will be delivered tomorrow.
On the phone with my store right now...he's trying to send me over to the 1888 best buy number to talk to someone. said he sees mine in the system and told me to call this other number for my confirmation email?
Assistant supervisor told me it still could come tonight or tomorrow morning or on the weekend. But as of right now they only had 5 of Verizon 64gb iPhone 6s+ in. He said there was a shortage of 6s+
Peeking at AT&T threads they still have yet to ship 2 or 3 different on the 6s+ nobody is getting confirmations for them, so just guessing they aren't available yet in some
Update on my pre-order AT&T full purchase 6s 64GB RG iPhone on the BB website last week. I talked to the person at Best Buy that is handling the pre-order list and who is calling to set apps tomorrow. He stated MY NAME WAS NOT ON THE PRE-ORDER LIST because I bought the phone outright and the phone is in a different location in the store to be picked up tomorrow. I have little faith in this, has anyone else heard this?
I believe there screwing over the people that bought it outright and giving the preorders to the contract people. Do they get profit if they sign someone up for a plan?
I just called to triple confirm my sister's iPhone will be in, with all of this fiasco. The person who answered was very nice, and offered to help if he could. He said he didn't see my preorder at all, but that was because I did it through the website. He can't see those until they are received from the warehouse.
He then asked which phone I wanted, and I said any 6S Plus for AT&T. He said, "Yea....we didn't get any 6S Plus models."
-_-

Yes...lol
They make NO money off of a full price phone, and that is why they bump up the price $50 to get the uneducated consumers. They get money for each contract/upgrade/or line added. The carrier then gives them money at the end of the month.
**** the way it looks like to me I was better off either preordering it in the store or shipping it to my house lol. I'm done sweating over this!
Well I just got off the phone with the 1888 my best buy number. He than called my local Best Buy store to cover the details.
The guy from my best buy told me to call the 188 number to speak with someone and this is what he told me:
He said that they are going through the phones now. When they do that they have to scan them in for each customer which will than send an email to each of us about getting them tomorrow. He also told me that even if we are not receiving one that we should than be receiving an email saying so..
The catch though: Apparently apple does now want them scanning anything before 12:00 tonight and letting customers know to pick it up (which I believe would be my store the only one following suit). So that being said he told me that he feels mine will be available tomorrow morning (after speaking with my store) and that I will not receive an email until after 12 tonight...

I can safely say I will never preorder from Best Buy again after all of these issues.
I will gladly pay full price from Apple then use an upgrade or Next through Best Buy. Although, I will enjoy my $200 gift card. lol
After working a few iPhone launches, I can safely say that this has never been the practice. At least the latter part.
Out of all of the issues going on so far, the biggest problem I have is that I was charged for my order as soon as I completed the preorder. The charge still hasn't dropped off. The charge should have dropped off, and then reinitiated when I picked up the phone. I find it super weird I have had this pending transaction for a week.
Only reason why I did it through Best Buy was because I had $315 worth of Best Buy gift cards. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't of preordered through them.
I would guess that this is due to the glitch that was seen earlier saying that people could pick up their iPhones today .
Well he told me they are switching it all up this year..?
Thats what I am thinking..
Switching it all up within five hours of the launch day is a good time to change things up. lol
Best Buy...
If it's there it's there. If not I have the entire day to do whatever, like watching unboxing videos and reading various threads about people choosing not to upgrade trying to justify their situation.
Good night all and hope it goes smoothly for everyone.

Yeah..lol
Regardless went to best buy and told me I should be fine. And he called them and apparently told him that I should be fine in getting one..
Well I won't be getting mine tomorrow, but I hope you enjoy yours! I will be watching my sister unbox hers, while I sit there very upset. lol
