I pre-ordered two identical iPhone X models (one for me and one for my wife) to be shipped to me by 11/3. The first one that I purchased at 3:08am eastern has just moved into "Preparing". The second one that I purchased at 3:17am eastern is still sitting in "Pre-Ordered".

Good to know! I ordered at 3.09am Eastern. Hopefully it will move soon! It’s still sitting on Processing.

What carrier and model did you order? And for pick up for ship?
 
I knew mine had advanced in the shipping process as I received the return shipping label for my phone via email from Best Buy. As soon as I got that, I logged in and my order was updated to "Preparing". I was a bit worried about not getting it tomorrow, but now I know I'm good!

Those of you panicking - relax. Every year Best Buy has many customers who's orders don't show movement until the day of release, and they are still in the customers hand on launch day.

Show your email with the order # at Best Buy later today and ask what number are you in pre-orders and the chances you get it on Fri. I haven't got any notification asking me to pick mine up either.

In 2010, I remember they notified me and I asked for a 9am pickup at Cerritos. I was #11 in pre-orders. But I put $50 down about 10 days before in-person which was payment already for signing up. I don't know how much has changed? Just be assertive and go to BB and ask today and tomorrow whether they email you or not.

I don't mind if people go there earlier. I'm #17 and don't want to wait for the first sixteen to get their's since time is money for me. But BB will know how many they have in stock and just notify us. Hopefully, we can pick it up before they open at 10am.

Possible 2/2 Best Buy pre-orders launch day success rate and this one I had a completely blasé attitude getting the X.
Dude stop ****ing posting
 
My original date was 11/10, but when I called yesterday they said I should be able to get it tomorrow. However, I have yet to receive an email or update on it.

You should be able to get it tomorrow?

What do they mean by that... are they referring that your order get mysteriously updated and you’ll get tomorrow.

Or that they’ll have stock.

My order also says it's ready for pickup tomorrow. Thank goodness. Based on the comments and the history I know Best Buy has I was very worried. Looks like they got something right!

Mines updated last night to preparing. 256Gig Silver, Ship to home. I'm wondering upon receiving the iPhone should I take it to best buy before opening it to get the price match...? I didn't even realize they sold for $100 dollars more lol.

No carrier, I bought the full price unlocked for $100 more. White, 256GB @ 3:10AM
 
My order just switched to "preparing" about 15min ago. My order time was about 13min after midnight PST on pre-order day.

Anyone paid in full (not financed) had their status change to prepare?

UPDATE: mine just changed to preparing 1 minute ago!!!
 
Can someone confirm that this is the case (best buy models are carrier independent if you paid full price)?
My order is for an ATT Next plan iphone x through bestbuy but is also the MQA92LL/A model that they sell to verizon customers so I don't think paying full price or not makes the difference, I think all of them are the carrier independent model aka A1865 version
