Got gold at BestBuy, in store availability works

[34 Volt]

Hopefully Apple's online store will bring back the in-store pick-up option soon, as that's how I got mine. But after the experience I had with BB screwing me over, never again will I do business with them.

At least you have a 5s to get by until you get the model you're after, I'm sure it'll work out just fine.

Good luck!

Thanks. Yeah what's screwing me over is the gift card from Apple. I would totally have bought it online and wait for it ship to me, but then I have a gift card i could have used it towards the phone.
