Tomorrow we will start to see movement. Charges will hit and orders will goto preparing. In my experience Best Buy pre-orders always ship over night, hence the movement on Thursday.

Some people reported not receiving shipping emails until Friday morning. But apparently Best Buy ships Thursday overnight for Friday delivery.

Does anyone know what shipping service Best Buy uses?

Not to sure but a bestbuy employee said the shipments comes from Apple headquarters.
 
I'm one of the few who doesn't care if I get it the 3rd or the 10th of this month. As long as removing the $100 extra and paying installments has no bearing on my pre-order. Going to BB to ask about it 10am today once they open. Here's hoping that BB will have at least 20 this weekend since I'm #17. I hum Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" once they told me my pre-order #.

Oh baby oh said oh


I remember iPhone 4 was easy with the difference being I put $50 down on pre-order day and was #11. I don't recall getting an email but do remember setting an appointment to pick it up which I chose 9am. Then once I picked it up, had to sign up to extend my contract. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Easiest launch day ever for me.

I'm still with T-Mobile and don't have anymore balance with Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. Canceled Verizon only 32 days ago. My first mobile was on Verizon and you can say Verizon is my first love among carriers becoming the best once they made their 4G phones unlocked, iPhones get the Qualcomm modem, and it simply kicks the other three's butt in coverage/signal strength from my experience in my areas.

Neither the iPhones and Pixel have bloat on Verizon but Galaxies and LGs still do get them. Last night, my T-Mobile data speed was slow. I remember I rarely experienced slowness with Verizon data speeds. Stay assertive. Just don't want my pre-order # getting affected or canceled. Then once I do get an email or whatever, I will go there to sign up for Verizon just paying taxes and stuff. That's probably about $100, give or take. Better than having to pay $1200+ on the spot.

They ship exclusively with UPS.

I pre-ordered a Midnight Blue Apple leather case for the X from Best Buy and it was saying "pre-ordered" and it shipped yesterday with a delivery date of tomorrow (Thursday). So going off of that, maybe we should see some movement this afternoon on our phones or at the very latest, tomorrow morning.

How do you figure out which number in line you are?

both my pre-order pending charges just dropped off... RIP
 
Pre-ordered through BestBuy. Now... 5 days later... I... Lost hope. No phone calls for iPhone setup. BestBuy pre-authorization not posted yet. Still stuck in ore-ordered mode.

I've lost hope. How about you?

As soon as I ordered mine. The email, sales rep and printed copy all said 12/15. So I guess that’s when I’m getting mine. Even though I “pre-ordered”
 
I chatted with best buy and they assured me itll be ready by friday. But i still have doubts. I dont think they have any extra info than we do from checking the order status page.
