I ordered 14 bands total from Best Buy. 2 arrived safely on Saturday via USPS. 3 are out for delivery today via USPS. 5 are due tomorrow, Tues (4 by FedEx, 1 by USPS) 1 band is due on Wed via USPS and 3 are being delivered directly to BB for pick up (that was the only delivery option for those)
 
I got a shipping notice and a USPS tracking number on Tuesday of last week for my Pride Sport Loop from the Best Buy sale, but tracking still says it hasn't been picked up as of this morning. Supposed to be here by Wednesday, but I have my doubts. :(
USPS is a hot, hot mess right now with everyone shipping things for the holidays. I’ve pretty much added a week to any estimate I have received from them at this point.

I ordered a few things from BestBuy, and they took more time to arrive than the estimated delivery day. They came like 3-4 days after.
 
I certainly hope so. I ordered one as a Christmas present for my wife. It’s supposed to be ready for pickup at my local store on Wednesday. So, I guess I’ll know then.

That's what happened to me last time SisterBlue. My order was in "shipping soon" status for weeks. I ended up having to cancel it.

My 3 packages from AZ said shipped, sat at the post office for 14 days then finally moved yesterday. Except they landed in Washington state and I’m all the way across the United States in SC! lol

Yeah, I was supposed to get my Best Buy package yesterday, now all it says is "Arriving later than expected" with no actual date and the last update says it was in Iowa. 🤷‍♂️

I got my cape cod sport loop from Best Buy today and already called to complain about it. I don't trust these "PT" 'old stock' bands coming from Best Buy. They have a fake UPC sticker over the apple OEM barcode, and it seems these are returns from stores.

The one that I received today was destroyed, a hole in the box, and as if someone stepped all over it, crushing it. Their response? "oh well just return it, sorry 'bout that". At least with target their offer some sort of compensation for the nonsense of the situation.

Yeah, I received a few damaged and open box units and they wouldn't even adjust to match the open box price! I ended up sending them back.

A full 8 days after receiving the shipping notification with a tracking number for my $29 Best Buy Pride Sport Loop, USPS has finally picked it up and it's moving. Headed from Louisville to Phoenix hopefully by Monday. Originally it was supposed to arrive yesterday.

Oh no, That is the only band I ordered from Best Buy this go around.

I hate to hear this.
 
I received one of the three $29 bands that I ordered from Best Buy, and it was the last one I ordered -- 2 days after I ordered the first 2. So for the first two, it's now been 10 days since I ordered them.
I also ordered a 4th band for store pickup, and that one was available and picked up about 3 days later.
 
I’ve been waiting to see an unused Anchor Gray drop to some insanely low price point lol. An aggressively unexciting band but worth having all the same.

Anchor Gray Sport Loop 44mm $14
 
My $29 obsidian mist Nike sports loop was delayed but just now became available for pick up at Best Buy. After a long day of dealing with a snowstorm and work, I think I’ll wait until tomorrow to grab it ha

I'll never be able to reach for my Anchor Gray again without hearing/thinking "aggressively unexciting" in my head 😂
 
I ordered 5 of the BestBuy $29 bands for in-store pickup... Only one of the five are ready... All of them were supposed to be ready on Tuesday the 15th!

Three of them are Christmas gifts, so they better not cancel my order!

That’s a bummer. I only ordered one but it was ready for pickup right on time on the 16th. Shipping seems to be a mess everywhere right now. I have a couple of (non-watch band) items that are estimated for 12/21 delivery and I am really skeptical they are going to make it by Christmas.

Yup. Still waiting on the one that I ordered, it shipped out the 9th and then hasn't moved at all since the 10th. :(
