Nope. I checked with BB on that already and their store manager confirmed that BB is not doing att 2 years contract.
Got a tip for us?

I asked the rep in store the same question and he confirmed yes.
But, as some members mentioned, not all BB employees know what they are talking about. So, cross my fingers. I have an iphone 3gs to trade in. Worst case, I'll cancel the preorder.
So they'll price match if it's $150 less on Apple's site? The unactivated Verizon 64GB 6S is currently showing an $899 price tag (not including their always high sales taxes), and Apple lists it as $749.

Ahh, my bad, you're right about that being the 6S+. I'm interested in the 6S 64GB and it's $799 @ Best Buy (not $899). Still, with the $72 in sales tax I just saw via the screen shot someone posted in this thread, even with the price match, it's still not much of savings for me to get it there.
If you ordered for store pickup what will happen is that once we get the phones in inventory (which we have not yet. This will probably happen Thursday) an OMS ticket will print with your name on it. This OMS ticket means that a phone from that manifest has been assigned to you. Once the inventory team or a Manager gets the phone and puts the ticket on it then we will change the status in our system to "picked" and you will receive an email of confirmation that you can pick it up. The reason why your email hasn't changed is because we, quite obviously, do not have the phones yet and because if we did we don't want customers showing up 2-3 days early trying to claim the phones.
I am a Specialty Sales Manager, which means I am directly over phones. I ran my store's IPhone 6/6+, Samsung S6, and Note 5 launches so trust me when I tell you I know what I'm talking about.
Anyone know if their store is opening early on Friday?
My mobile store said no as they did not get lots of preorders to date but they may be forced to if all stores are opening early I'm assuming.

I work for Best Buy as well. I have preordered a 6S+ 64GB Gold last Friday at my store. So far my store has had about 20 preorders overall for the new phones. I'm off for the next two days, but when I go in on Thursday I work all day so I'm gonna check RSS and see what it shows we are receiving, or if we have already received it I'll see if my preorder has come in. I'd however really like to switch to a 6S+ 16 or 64 Rose Gold, so I'll see if that comes in as well. If they do I'll be the first in line at my store at 8am. If they don't come in Thursday before close, I'm driving directly after I get off work to wait all night at the Apple Store, lol.
It hasn't changed since I ordered it. It still says "processing". I just want to know generally if Best Buy gets pre-ordered phones delivered on launch day.
Did you order online? I ordered in the store and do not see an option to view. There is nothing under "orders". The pre-order can be seen under "purchases", but there is no link or anyway to see the status.

I found the one I want at a Best Buy in a mall close to where I live on their website and it's AT&T but I want to pay cash. It has the 'pre order' tab but I don't want a contract phone. Is there a way I can call the store and pre pay for the phone then pick it up Friday?
Thanks in advance.
I figured as much, the dude at BBM hates iPhones and probably does not want to come in early on Friday.
Is there a way to pre order from BB and pay in full without a contract? The BB close to me had the one I want and has the Pre Order tab but it's for contract and even if they do charge $50 more like everyone is saying, it would cost that much for gas to drive to the nearest Apple Store for me.
I went to the store and preordered it for full price, no contract. The receipt I got shows the full price.
Thank you for the information. I canceled my preorder through ATT and ordered from Best Buy for store pick up on launch day. I had the option for shipping on Oct. 2nd. I guess I'm surprised to see that BBY is stating that devices will be so much earlier at this point in the game. I really hope so!!
Oh cool! So I'm going to call as soon as they open in about 10 mins and if they still have that one for pre order, I'll just pay for it now. And do you think the chances of it being available to pick up on Friday are positive?
