reserve in store (WiFi) - wait time?

[c.s.]

Since iPads are out of stock everywhere in Dallas, I did a "reserve in store" at my local Apple store. Any experience with how long people have had to wait?

I just did the same thing here. Hopefully not too long.

For a 64GB I had to wait a whole 40 mins at the Florida Mall. I think this is the best way....

The wait isn't too bad.

Reserved a 32GB at 3 pm and had the email by 11 am the very next day.

At Memorial City Mall (Houston) I reserved a 64GB last Thursday and got it today.

At First Colony Mall (Sugarland) I reserved a 64GB last Friday and got it today as well.

I may be missing the obvious but where on the apple site is the reserve in store link? I can't seem to find how to put my name on the list on the site...

I can't seem to see it either. Can you order store pick-up online or do you have to order in the store?

Have to do it in-store.

Yeah, it's a little thing you log into w/your iTunes account on one of the concierge/activation zone machines. It seems to be a pretty quick process but you do have to do it in-store.

Typically the volcano does its bit to stop me from going to the US (last Saturday), the ash starts to clear and it looks like flights *may* restart and now Apple runs out of iPads in store. Things are not going right for me!

Maybe I'll have time to order when (if) I get there.

I just tried calling to see if I can do it over the phone, and was denied (they said it has to be in person).

Yes, this absolutely must be done in the store. Although I really don't know why. It takes all of 30 seconds if that. They just select the model type you want and you type in your .Mac ID and password. 🙄

My example:

I was in the Twin Cities (MN) for a meeting. When I called around Everyone was out. So I reserved a 32gig Friday late afternoon at the Southdale Apple store. They said, as well as the confirmation email, that they'd be contacting me "soon"

So nothing Saturday. I call about 3pm and they're "All Out". I finally leave on Sunday after calling again. Make the 4 hour drive home. Get to work on Monday. At 9am I get my "Your reserved 32 gig iPad is in waiting for you to pick up until 6 pm Tuesday"

I cancelled the reservation as I was not going to make the drive again.

I'll get my ordered iPad by the 27th...

By the way, the apple case if backordered like 3 weeks!

Reserved mine last Friday, got the confirmation that they had it waiting for me yesterday morning. I now own an iPad!! Three days seems to be norm for the reservations.

Hey after you guys reserved one I the store, did you get any confirmation email etc. ? Or did you just get the email notifying you when it arrived in the store?
