So how does one place an order? By phone,email or do I have to go in the store to do so in person? Thanks!

Went in with my girlfriend. She wanted the 38mm Space Gray Sport so she got that. I preordered the 42mm Space Gray Sport; let's see when they'll give me a call.
Yep but it doesn't really say what you actually ordered. That's just in their system.
If this latest news about two separate allotments is true and not just the ramblings of the confused clerk who answered the phone...honestly, I don't even know how to end that thought.
I ordered via Apple Store app on 4/10, 12:02am PST. The result? No movement with my 42mm Bright Blue Leather Loop. Waited in line at Maxfield for 7 hours on the 23rd and turned away with no more 42mm SS after the first 60 customers.
Went to Maxfield on Wednesday and preordered 42mm SS w/Milanese, overcharged $350 (they still haven't corrected their mistake) and now I hear inventory is not being immediately directed to those who have preordered.
As someone else has said, cluster**** it is.

Had a very kind friend (who deserves a promotion) just put in an order for me: 42mm SS WSB. Haven't seen anyone mention WSB yet for 42mm SS at Maxfields. He pre-ordered (pre-paid) around 6:40pm PST.
The rep who helped me specifically said they get a lot of SG bands and sports. He mentioned them getting white and green too but that SG is the most they've been getting.
It's been kinda sucky for anyone but Maxfield customers since SG is the most popular band.
They said they're getting the Editions, but you'd have to pre-order and they'll get it in fairly soon.
I had a follow up call before they closed earlier to find out why they handled the preorders this way. The rep I spoke to was very forthcoming and sheepishly said, "honestly, we kinda screwed up our shipment delivery today and didn't process the preorders."
So they basically took care of people who showed up to buy watches on the spot. The good news is that they had plenty of stock leftover well after they closed, likely watches for preorders that weren't processed. In addition, they are to receive a large shipment tomorrow, though she didn't know which models it would include. Finally, she was confident that they'd be able to cover a large amount of preorders tomorrow.
As someone had mentioned, it will be on an appointment basis. In other words, you have to line up (assuming there's a line) to set an appointment, at which time you will get to either buy (if in stock) or preorder (if unavailable).
That being said, good luck to everyone tomorrow and may the force be with you.

This past week that has been true. Earlier in the week it was 2 days but Wednesday to Friday at least it's been 1 day. Usually just a bit more than 12 hours.
My friend from Florida who preordered just after 12 got his the day before Maxfield came through. He was surprised that they came through and so fast!
I ordered one on Wednesday around 6pm and they called me on Friday at 10:15am letting me know it was in.
