Anyone else order from Best Buy? I ordered last Thursday 12/29. The initial status was backordered with a delivery date if 2/20. On Friday 12/30 it switched to preparing and the date bumped down to 1/10. It hasn't changed since then. Also, my card was charged immediately after placing the order on 12/29 but I'm not sure if that is standard practice for BB.
Got a tip for us?

Ordered from BB 12/28, quoted 2/19 shipping date at the time of order. I got a shipping notification about three hours ago.
I really can't decide if I want to pay for them now and wait 6 weeks for delivery or just wait 6 weeks and hopefully by then I can just walk in and get them at a store.
Best Buy seems to be shipping much faster then Apple. Also put the Target app on your phone and check there a few times a day for both online and in-store stock. I got lucky last Thursday and was able to order a pair from Target and had them shipped overnight. You can always place an order with Best Buy while still watching other sources, if you get them someplace else cancel any pending orders.
I ordered from Apple on 12/13 (release day) around 10:30pm EST. Just charged, and Preparing to ship. Haven't gotten an updated delivery date yet though weird.
So I have an order in at Apple with a delivery date of feb 16th. Everyone seems to be saying Best Buy is shipping faster though so I just ordered from them also and will cancel whichever doesn't ship.
Here is my question. After ordering my Best Buy order immediately went into back order. Did that happen to anyone else? Currently have a feb 22 ship date for Best Buy.

ATT seems like the go to place for these . Was able to place a order for 2nd pair this morning . The order I placed with them last Friday is out for delivery with them today.
My AT&T order from Friday 12/30 is out for delivery today. It was originally scheduled for tomorrow.
Not even a hour later it's preparing to ship . Idk know what's going on at Apple .
Thanks for the tip on AT&T. Just placed an order as well after the chat agent confirmed they are indeed in-stock and ready to ship...
Assuming true, this will be the second pre-order I placed early with directly with Apple and will have cancelled due to being able to get sooner elsewhere.
While I fully understand supply chain challenges, this is pretty bad.

I just ordered on AT&T's website with express shipping and they told me they should be in by the end of this week
Just ordered through AT&T as well with express shipping and the rep said I would have them within 2 business days. My order through Apple is for a February delivery as well.
I've been looking at AT&T for an Apple Watch and they don't show out of stock like other items on their site such as the AirPods. I grilled the agent on chat asking for a guarantee that the watch is in stock and she claims yes. I have an order for the Space Black with Apple, Best Buy, B&H so I'm skeptical of this but I took a screenshot of the chat if I have a problem with the order.
My card just showed up with a pending charge from Best Buy yesterday - does anyone know if they charge just before they ship like Apple does?
I know this is unrelated to AirPods - I bought mine in store and have stayed curiously plugged in since I am hunting for the watch. Good luck everyone.

When I got on their website it said out of stock after I searched for them, but then I clicked on the item and it let me add it to my cart and the agent assured me it was guaranteed delivery by the end of the week with express shipping!
They look available right now on ATT. The add to cart button is available for me.

apple is shipping mine by the end of the week, but AT&T STILL has stock right now. This is crazy!
