I've never done this before but my understanding is those buying online for in store pick-up are purchasing, not reserving. So you pay for what you are buying: IPad, case, Applecare+ (option to buy shows up during the order process), whatever, then pick it up when they notify you it's available.

Perfect. Thanks!
 
My only fear with tonight/ tomorrow morning is that I'm going to be camping out all night and then find out tomorrow morning that all of my stores stock has been sold to those people who reserved them at midnight pst. Thoughts?

I have the same concern. I plan to get to my Apple store at 7am. Just hope I don't discover everyone else has one reserved. Seem absurd not to, but I prefer making the purchase on the spot.
 
Just got back from my local Walmart. They have a couple 16GB black and only one 32GB in black, not sure about white. First they said they could sell them at 12:01 AM, but then the main manager said they wouldn't sell them until 8 AM sharp....:mad:
 
Best buy opens at 8am, I will show up at 8am, not waiting in line for this


I can't see the black $729 32gb LTE Verizon flying off the shelves
 
I'm hoping to order from TM online and have it shipped to me, if they have that option.

Otherwise I'll drive over the mountain to pick it up.

I just left my buddies at the bar and Im eating across the street from the apple store.
 
Sam's Club opens at 7 am for Plus members so I will walk in at 7 am, get the iPad Air and leave.

Last year when I got the iPad 3 on launch day there was no line at all at Sam's Club and I walked in at 10 am and out in less than ten minutes with an iPad in hand.

So I think it will be the same thing tomorrow.
