Anytime I try to check I keep getting a date range error, so I signed into My Sprint to see if it would allow me to upgrade my phone, it didn't give me the option to upgrade, just to purchase a phone at full price, so the order through Best Buy did go through to Sprint, so I believe we will be getting our phones on launch day. Just takes awhile for sprint to send Best Buy their tracking information and then Best Buy will email us the tracking info.

do they still take pick up option ???
how come when i place an order it show

unavailable pick up item >>

and i have to select delivery
 
For all my 2:55 peeps, my shipping just changed from “UPS World Ease” to “UPS Next Day Air”. No departure scan from ZZ yet but it’s progress!
 
I think they're an Apple.com order based off their forum posts. Looks like that was accidentally added to this thread.
 
Amazing that Best Buy is still showing 9/20 delivery dates for all models... as time goes on, makes me more and more nervous...
 
I was so disappointed with bestbuy, the day preorder 9/13 i made place an order it didn't have a pickup option and now the pickup popped up, but i can't change due in process >> they need to make up their mind or update final delivery/pickup function so people can choose easy way for them ,,,

last time order bestbuy and wont do again next yrs ~

Crap

I, too, have joined this roulette game. Ordered Saturday morning. Set for delivery by Friday, September 20th.

Their website STILL shows them available for launch day delivery so.....
 
I have actually ordered one through Apple and one through Best Buy.... They are both set as "upgrades" for my Verizon phone. Think this may cause an issue? I will only activate the one I get first and return the other (or cancel) the other order.
 
im surprised these are still showing friday delivery. Also, ATT doesn't offer the 24 month next plan on their site anymore but best buy does. Is this correct?
 
I pre-ordered through Best Buy and was told I'd be guaranteed to have my iPhone 11 Max on Friday.

When I told them I also wanted to trade in my current iPhone, they told me I had to cancel my order (which would put me to the back of the pre-order line), make a separate appointment to have my current iPhone evaluated, THEN pre-order my iPhone 11 Max, and THEN come to the store to pick it up and complete the trade-in of my current iPhone.

I said screw that and I ordered a fully unlocked from Apple directly. It should be here first week of October.
 
Best Buy is going to screw this up, guaranteed.

looking that way. I just read through some threads about past Best Buy iPhone preorders... Best Buy definitely has a history.

Not much I can do now, though. Can’t really cancel and order somewhere else. Guess I can only try my luck?

I just called Best Buy to see if they could confirm any of my details. They said that the “Get it by” dates are just estimates and that we will not likely see them delivered on launch day. Who knows. That’s just one call center employees opinion.

I’m considering cancelling my order and just going to ATT on Friday morning. So over this garbage. This kind of stuff happens every year.

WHAT? This is messed up. Now I don't know if I should cancel this order and try for in store on Friday or just hold out....

I guess I can wait until Thursday and if it doesn't change I'll cancel and hope for the best on Friday in store somewhere other than Best Buy.

Thanks for sharing.

Where did you find the chat link? I can do that while I am at work.
If you go to a product page like: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-iphone-11-pro-max-64gb-space-gray-at-t/6341313.p?skuId=6341313

You'll see a little "Help" blue box pop up on the right side of the screen. From there you can select "Chat with us" and then a new pop up window will open with a bot. At the bottom of that window there is "Live Chat" which will take you to a real person. Let us know if you get different information!
