Best Buy Pre Order for Series 4 Apple Watch?

wfischer said:
So, I did a preorder for pickup on Friday, and here it is Monday morning, 15 minutes after opening, and my store is still showing no inventory. Online says that I can get it shipped to me, arriving by Wednesday.

My question is, for people who have ordered online over the weekend, have they been getting shipping notifications confirming actual availability, or is it just more of the Best Buy mirage?

Mine said the same thing, so I switched it over the weekend (to shipping). Store showed "limited stock" today, probably my watch that I switched over. Unfortunately I couldn't cancel my shipped order as it was "preparing" -- arrives tomorrow so not too worried about it but should have been patient ;)

i ordered a wifi 44mm AW 4 space gray yesterday, Sunday, and it will arrive Wednesday.
Also did preorder it originally on release date, but i now want the bigger size. Apple still shows October shipments. Just an FYI, people can get them faster from BB than Apple.

Had the same experience, decided after seeing the models in the store I ordered the wrong one, canceled my Apple Order (Which was showing a mid October delivery) and ordered through Best Buy on Sunday. Didn’t believe it would actually arrive Wednesday until it shipped.

YMMV. Happy Hunting.
 
Called Best Buy again out of pure frustration and was told they were discounting both my orders by 10%. Said i would get an email within the hour regarding the refund. Big surprise that never happened.
 
My first preorder 44 aluminum with sport loop is shipped and will have it tomorrow. Need to cancel my other 2 orders. For all the headaches it really was only delayed by a day. Instead of shipping Friday it shipped Monday. Now to try and get a discount. . .
 
I just cancelled my order with BB and re-ordered an open-box excellent condition sport SG cellular with the same delivery date.
 
Ordered my SBSS five hours after launch (8:00am EST) and Friday I saw that my item was Shipped and waiting for Fedex to pickup item and we are now here Monday night and nothing has changed...the status is waiting for fedex to pick up item. I am getting a little pissed.

Could be worse. I ordered the same watch right at launch and I have nothing. Just a status of shipping delay. I’m going to call again tomorrow and give them another earful.

Last update. So the third watch I ordered which on their website said delivered by today, is now delayed! So basically, any shipping or available date on their website is worth garbage. Three different orders, three delays.

That’s what I don’t understand with Best Buy. Order placed later after launch are shipping and those placed right at or around launch are stalled.

Pre-ordered black 44 sport GPS on 9/14 for in-store pickup. Finally got it yesterday when they got their shipment :)
 
Still waiting for store pickup... ordered 2 silver aluminum 44mm, on 9:20. In a crazy twist, the apple store a few blocks from best buy? Got a shipment of my watch in today. I am so tempted to cancel...
 
My SBSS ordered at 8:15 on 9/14 was delivered yesterday. I've already forgotten the feeling of anticipation, same as every year.

Now the hunt for the perfect band begins.
 
SBSS ordered 5 minutes past 12AM (3EST), still sitting in Shipment Delay. Called in and was basically told not much they can do except issue a $20 gift card. Pretty unimpressed with their customer service on a nearly $800 item that they still have zero clue when they will be able to ship to me.

They can give 10% off the order like they supposedly did on my two orders. We will see.
 
Changed my store pick up preorder to delivery on Sunday, now I just received a shipped email with a tracking number
 
Called last night and they gave me the run around, and no 10% off!! My patience wore out this morning, I cancelled my order, and am in line now at the apple store for my 2 silver 44mm GPS watches!!! Best Buy SUCKS!
[doublepost=1537893606][/doublepost]Next in line!!!!!
 
Watches in hand, cabbing home!!! Good luck guys!!!!
[doublepost=1537895103][/doublepost]Ya they said the same bs to me. I told them apple doesnt have my money yet. I made agreement with Best Buy, so thats where my problem is. I told her that if I had preordered with Apple and it wasnt here, I would have been on the phone with them.... She was unmoved.

Same as me. I called yesterday again and they blamed Apple and offered me a $25 gift card. They were supposed to have a supervisor call me back but that didn’t happen. Quite the debacle and absolutely no concrete information or meaningful communication. Totally ridiculous.
 
What's confusing to me is I ordered 2 watches both immediately at 1201am on the 14th. One had to be delivered and that one is supposed to deliver today, the other was customer pickup and it's in a delayed status. On Monday if I added that watch to my cart it was available for pickup on 9/26 if I order it now its available for 9/28. I still have no idea when this watch comes in but I would guess 9/26?
 
I finally received mine today from BB. They called to let me know it was ready. Had a two long phone calls over the weekend with BB & ATT. I was told there was an issue obtaining new numbers through ATT. Kept reserving a number which ATT would eventually kick out due to volume of devices being processed. At least it’s here
