Best Buy Pre Order for Series 4 Apple Watch?

Looking through the series 4 options on their site it only shows one model that is available for in store pickup tomorrow. Gold gps + cellular. I wonder if they under estimated the demand and won't even have any in store tomorrow. Sucks!!! I wanted my watch faster than my phone 
If it says in store the 21st, you’ll probably get it. But about paypal, unlike a credit card most online sites put the charge on when you order instead of when it ships, ready for pickup, etc..
Just got off Best Buy Chat....some developments. My order still says will ship by 9/21..... (my name is Adam btw)
I talked to Steven, here is what he said about my order:
Adam, the apple watch will be shipped directly from your nearby store or warehouse due to which it has not been out for shipping yet.

You have nothing to worry about, the order will be shipped to you on the release date and you will have the watch in your hands on 21st September
20-Sep 10:24 AM
Which is tomorrow.
20-Sep 10:24 AM
You can be assured about this, you will have your order in your hands on September 21st (tomorrow).
20-Sep 10:24 AM
You will receive an email early in the morning tomorrow regarding the shipping and the tarcking number will be available in it.

that is great to hear Steven

He also guaranteed by watch would be in my hands tomorrow again later in the chat. We'll see... I am in the Nashville area so if it ships locally in the morning from a store, it could be here tomorrow

I can’t for the life of me find where to get in to Best Buy chat, can someone direct where I might find that to badger them with the same questions we’re all asking?
When I went to my order status and left it on there for a second, on the right side of the screen there was a small popup asking if I needed help and one of them was Chat with an Expert.
Go into your order.. and the contact bar should open on the right....I don't know if this works on mobile.
Look on the right side of the page when you go into order status. Click the 'help' question mark and then the chat option.
Shipped! I ordered 2 days ago. Language always stated "get it by 9/21". Coming tomorrow via UPS.
Nice I hope so too that i get my watch tomorrow im in west tennesseeJust got off Best Buy Chat....some developments. My order still says will ship by 9/21..... (my name is Adam btw)

IDK, I really hope it will be here by the promised 9/21 when I ordered or I'm gonna be pissed.
Ahhhh! Thanks! Been looking exclusively on mobile... switched to ‘request full site’ and found it... but the link doesn’t work on mobile it appears ah well.... just have to wait till I can get to a desktop... I put my order in as soon as the button showed ‘preorder available’ which would have been around 18 minutes after preorders were supposed to have started.
Getting tad bummed that I haven’t seen a status change yet, but not the end of the world.. we’ll just have to see how it goes. Sounds like there is still some chance mine is being processed and the status just hasn’t updated.
I ordered the space grey cellular 44 sport band.

SG w/ sport loop, ordered when it went live. Site has always said "Will ship by 9/21" for this model, AFAIK. Still says the same, and my order just states "Pre-ordered".
Hope I get it tomorrow!
Hope I get it tomorrow!
Still showing "In Progress"/"Pre-ordered" here. UPS and Fedex show no associated reference numbers for my BB order.
I’m in the same boat, I did get someone to chat with and they just told me data won’t show up until after the scheduled launch date and they couldn’t see any other details.
I ordered a SS watch as soon so they went live and my status says "pre-ordered". I also ordered an aluminum watch and it shipped today.
Is anyone who pre-ordered SS or BSS watches got shipping notifications?
