Best Buy pre orders

Anyone that has preordered online for in-store pickup, has their order changed at all from processing?
Is there a link to check the status on bestbuy.com? I've been looking but couldn't find it. Thx
All options as of yesterday were available for preorder EXCEPT for the 128GB Rose Gold 6+.
My strong advice (Manager at Best Buy) is to preorder as I don't expect us to have a large inventory of 128GB models. If you want 16-64 and want to walk in then you should be ok, we will be opening at 8am that Friday.
The best bet for inventory is to go to a Stand Alone Best Buy Mobile if there is one located in a mall near where you live as they will get priority when it comes to inventory

Luckily the last few years my store has Only like 15 people in line since there is an Apple Store 500ft of my best buy
If you don't mind telling me which store do work you at?
And yes we have an Apple Store located in a Mall directly across from us but we are a high traffic location, last years iPhone 6 launch was INSANE we had about 20 people in line and stayed busy throughout the entire day.
Even people who went to the Apple Store and got a phone came to us for accessories. It'll be an 12 hour day for me both days as I'm a manager
91913 Chula Vista Ca luckily I preordered mine on Sunday when best put them on there site
Edit I don't work for bestbuy

My status still says "Preordered". Nothing has change yet. I expect it to change sometime in the middle of the week though.
I see a lot of the phones say "coming soon" with red "x's" near the shipping and in store pick up options. I guess Best Buy has hit the cap for some of those particular phones. Notably the Rose Gold and the higher capacity Plus Space Grey models on AT&T and Verizon.

Yea, I've worked two iPhone launches at Best Buy. I didn't work in mobile, but Magnolia, so I saw the people throughout the day. I preordered at the Moorestown, NJ Mall since that is on my way to work and I can scoop up some Chipotle before I leave.
I preordered an AT&T iPhone 6S Plus 128GB Gold (Not Rose Gold, I have a feeling that model won't be as popular for resale for some reason). I hope I get it!
Absolutely dreading Friday. I hate phone launches. Got to work all day oh well, atleast my phone comes in that day
