Mine hasn’t moved to preparing yet, but that’s probably because I ordered it later than everyone in this thread. About 40 minutes after they went live. But I’m still hopeful. Got the rest of the day ahead of me! Silver 256 Sprint for what it’s worth
 
Can someone confirm that this is the case (best buy models are carrier independent if you paid full price)?

check your order status, does it say a carrier? Mine doesnt mention it at all, even though I ordered verizon. If you scroll down to specs it says CDMA, which is the qualcomm/universal model.
 
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

hearing a ton of changes on customers who have shipping showing their orders changing to preparing! We are getting closer to the fun beginning
 
Guys don't panic, everyone's status is slowly changing to "preparing" so just be patient and yours will too, good luck!
 
Anyone with Sprint got their order updated? Thanks
Thanks Leslie!

Also, for those interested, my order was for a 256GB Space Gray, full price purchase (although I specified AT&T in the options) for local store pickup, and I purchased about 10 minutes after the presale started (could not even get the Apple store site to load). Capital One blocked the charge on my card this morning as fraud prevention, so I had to update payment info on my order this morning. Even with all of that going on, my order updated to "Preparing" about 5 minutes ago.
 
My 64 GB Silver model just moved to 'Preparing' status, showing available Nov 3 for in store pickup. I ordered full price and got my confirmation at 3:36 EDT.

Sprint, Verizon and AT&T are all the same phone. Only ones different are T-Mobile and outside of US

You're right! Mine says this as well. Thanks for the info!
[doublepost=1509634934][/doublepost]One more bit of info. For those wondering about Best Buy's price matching on the full price phone, I just got this response from their customer service chat rep:

"Please be reminded that for price matching unlocked phones and phones with carrier, this can only be processed and checked in store. I would highly suggest you to visit your nearest Best Buy store to price match and please bring a proof of price from the competitor's site"

My Account just got charged and phone is preparing to ship! Ordered at 1:20AM MST. 256GB Silver.

EDIT: Should mention that I had the Failed Authorization issue and it is gone now. Must just be a bug on their end.
