Err Best Buy. Mine went to processing yesterday and still stated delivery for today as of last night. Got email this morning its been delayed until Oct 22. WTF Best Buy. On top of it, won't let me cancel my order as it claims its in progress. At least Amazon and others will let you change your mind and cancel an order when an item is delayed. Not happy.
Sb ss 38mm att. My or says received. Now I didn’t place mine until sept 17th but Att wasn’t offering this model at the time. Now they are and it says delivers starting 10-5. Best Buy gave me oct 11. Wondering if I should order through att as I think they will fill their orders quicker. Only reason I did Best Buy was I had a gift card.
That was the only reason I used Best Buy - do you know if there is any way to check the expected pick up / delivery date online?
I don't think so. My order doesn't say when to expect it, its just what my original email said. I feel ATT will probably ship sooner (since it gives an earlier date). I'm good w/my s0 until then but ... I don't know. It'll come when it comes I suppose. I just hoped it'd come sooner since att didn't have it listed originally.
EDIT: I just checked best buy website and they have sport gps models in. A few stores in my area have the sport LTE models and when i check the 38mm ss it says by Oct 13th still. So maybe they just haven't received their allotment yet.
This thread gives me hope https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/wow-best-buy-shipping-way-ahead-of-schedule.2070831/
Yes.
Went to preparing today just as I wanted to cancel as I picked up one in the Apple store on launch day.
I’ll just return it when it arrives.
I ordered the silver SS w/Milanese 42mm
Grabbed a SB SS w/Milanese 42mm on launch day at the Apple store.
Still in box, still deciding which I prefer.
After speaking with 5 Best Buy reps between Thursday and Saturday, I’ve been able to piece together what happened to my wife’s Watch. The pre-authorization failed, so it had to be manually configured to work with AT&T. This meant it went into a queue with other Watches and iPhones that couldn’t be quickly programmed. This put it on a delay in their system, which means the delivery date automatically gets adjusted to a month out. In reality, it was about 36 hours, so her Watch was turned over to USPS for shipping and has a delivery date of tomorrow and has arrived at the local post office, so it looks much better than it did Friday.
I know, first world problems, but like I told a couple of Best Buy’s reps, since they’ve remodeled their stores and openened micro stores to be mobile centric, it looks like they could be a LOT better with explaining hiccups like mine, rather than just falling into whatever their system says. It’s not like they began selling cellular devices last week...

why i do agree that lack of knowledge as to what is happening sucks and is piss poor on any manufacturer, distributor, and service provider, unfortunately i have to disagree with the fact that they actually did only just start selling these watches last week, and don't necessarily have the trial and error experience to actually determine some of the issues that have been prevalent across the spectrum
I just got a shipment notice for my Series 3 LTE (Space Gray/Gray band). Had an original ship date of 10/6.
Has anyone else had any shipping notifications? My SS SB is scheduled for a 10/13 delivery but I'm expecting it sooner.
Nothing. It’s been silent and my date is 10-13 as well.
I picked up a space black on launch day by walking in though so I will be returning this silver SS when it eventually gets here.
sb s/s 38 ordered on the 17th for in store pick up. I haven't seen any movement yet but my expected date was 10/11 I believe. I am hoping by next weekend. I only ordered from best buy since I had a gift card and at the time att didn't initially offer this model/size. now they do.
Still nothing. And att orders are being filled. I figured they get more stock than best buy. I partially blame att. As they didn't initially have the 38 sb ss as an option to order when I ordered mine. Maybe it'll be here by race day sunday but I'm not planning on it. My hope now is it'll come after the 10/13 day they said and maybe I can get a gift card out of it.
