Best Buy Pre Order for Series 4 Apple Watch?

[tsduke]

So much for the chat rep and her “rest assured, the store will receive it today” response several times yesterday.

Mine was shipped "UPS Air saver" They should call it "The Weekend Ruiner" really from Ohio to Wisconsin by air and they still need 3 days to do that?? WTH

After we put on the watch and use it for a day, it’ll just be another toy we bought that we really don’t need anyway!

My SS 44mm that was ordered 9/14 will be here Monday. I am not upset because I was able to do an in store pickup for a SBSS at Best Buy yesterday morning.

My original order never had a promised delivery or ship date.

Interesting. I got a FedEx shipment coming from TX to WI. Seems I’m in the minority as everybody else seems to be riding with UPS.

Check your balance vs your limit and there's probably a hold on it for the purchase amount.

Nope, full amount is showing as available.

hey...just signed up quickly to let folks know some apple stores are now reserving pickup orders online...not all watches are available...I just reserved a 44mm SBSG aluminum (GPS only) @ the local apple store...once I pick it up I’ll cancel my preorder w/ bestbuy that was supposed to be available for pickup yesterday

just received pickup confirmation for today from apple...will end up cancelling my bestbuy pickup preorder...still have one coming via UPS that shipped yesterday from bestbuy as promised but it’s 40mm SLSG aluminum...after seeing some reviews yesterday I had doubts regarding the smaller size

I cancelled my BB order after they told me that even though it was promised I would get it on the 21 being yesterday that it would be delayed with no estimate of when. My apple order is already preparing to ship. Should get it this coming week. Never using BB to preorder anything again.

I ordered my series 4 right at midnight, received email will ship by 9/21, now I get a DELAYED email and if not received by 10/21 they will cancel my order.. wow really! This is nit best by really disappointed me.

My apple order was estimated to come in Oct 12 - 15. Always stick with ordering through apple.

Still waiting on watch preorders, meanwhile the apple store close to best buy has them for pick up today... too bad best buy already has my money.... infuriating

Yes true dat, but I live in the moment and in that moment I want my Toy!
[doublepost=1537631127][/doublepost]If there is a lesson to be learned it is if you must order online from BB then go for the Fed Ex delivery not the UPS.

 

[M5RahuL]

Oh you poor people.. Best Buy is the absolute lowest of retail scum in existence! Should’ve never placed your trust in that POS company!

 

[dyzfnctional]

well I got the email we'll cancel your order by 10/22...

 

[Wildgift]

Got an order delayed email. So annoyed. Will BB give any compensation for this?

From the latest chat:

There are times when the manufacturer provides the inventory days before the release date in which retailers will be able to ship these orders early. There are also times when manufacturers sends the inventory to retailers on the release date itself. That is why we encourage that you check the status of your order online to get updates and to know if there are any changes.

I feel very lucky. I got my Best Buy order yesterday. Aluminum gold in 44. Maybe it isn't a popular one.

My 9/28-10/2 Apple.com SBSS order will be delivered Monday and Best buy was saying they had no idea when they would get stock so I just got them to cancel through chat since the cancel button was greyed out on the site.

 

[kevjen888]

I was going to order one from apple but their shipping date has been pushed back to mid-late October, so I gave Best Buy a try and they can deliver by next week. Im kind of skeptical though given how in demand watch 4 are.

My 44 SS received a tracking number yesterday and shows out for delivery today. However, scheduled delivery is Monday by EOD. Does this mean that its delivering early, or that its just going to sit on the truck until Monday? I didn't even know UPS delivered on weekends.

 

[dacalo]

Wow. So I ordered a 40mm silver body with white band at BH Photo last Sunday but they couldn't give me an estimate date. I cancelled Friday (yesterday) morning and placed an order with BB. It got shipped yesterday and will be delivered today (thanks FedEx).

It means they will let it sit on it until Monday. Unless BB paid extra for Sat delivery which they did not. Next time use Fed Ex

Ended up going to the Apple Store in Palo Alto at 9:30am yesterday and walked out with my watch in 20 minutes, immediately cancelled Best Buy's order. I ordered 10 minutes after preorders went up with the assurance I would get my release day. Bunch of crap, never again Best Buy.
