So if I am trading in a phone do I need to take the old phone to Best Buy on Friday to turn it in or can I wait a few days? Do they need the original box and charger and everything?
I can no longer change my order from delivery to pick up. I was still able to make that change yesterday. Hopefully that's a good sign. I ordered this one for my daughter from Best Buy. I have not had a problem with BB in the past like some have had. I am going to try in person for myself on Friday. I am not in a huge hurry for myself so if I end up having to wait a couple weeks, it's fine.
The challenge will be 2-fold.
1- Once it ships, it cannot be cancelled and you are stuck waiting for however long it would take to receive.
2- if you are able to cancel, you have to wait for your upgrade eligibility to be reset. Assuming you’re upgrading. This shouldn’t take too long, but on the morning of? Who knows.
I had a pending charge without the apple care before now it actually charged me plus the $10 for applecare. I couldn’t do store pickup when I ordered so it’s set to deliver at my work

That's a good sign I guess! I cancelled my order with Sprint and got this one through on Sunday, so I am hoping someone sees more movement today, lol
My card was charged right away when I checked out.
Edit: Charged but still pending. Hopefully it will go through soon too. I can't change my order anymore either.

i would be cautiously optimistic that it actually happens...
Did you get a shipping confirmation or are you talking about what it says on the website? The problem is it says ALL of them are still available for release day.
Mine for verizon said 27th,ordered friday at 10:30am or so...still no movement as of today so i cancelled and reordered a gold ip11 max 256gb said here on 20th!
Best buy has a good track record I think of delivering on time
just don't see how they can possibly still be shipping release date for every single model when everyone else has run out.
For what it is worth if best buy is showing stock on every phone.......I can only assume that every Apple Store will have their fair share of stock for walk ins. Just a guess though. I have had nothing but horrible experiences with Best Buy rather wait a month.
we will be able to watch friday morning for the site to update with stock available for pickup right?

They oversold the preorders and most deliveries were pushed back 2-3 weeks. They sent out an email on Sep 15, 2016 which was the night before it was released. They did offer $100 off my next Best Buy purchase but that voucher was also a pain in the a** to use as I needed to call twice to get a new redemption code issued as they all were coming up as "invalid".
My phone was finally delivered on October 7th even though I was scheduled to get it on release day.
Last year I preordered the XS Max with them (reluctantly) and when it was delivered I got an email saying my order was cancelled. They then had to charge my card again after my order was "refunded" after it was delivered.
I'm just hoping this year it all goes well and Best Buy finally comes through for me. Hoping for the best!

Well, let's hope they've got it together this year. The only thing that makes that hard to belieive is all varieties still showing launch day availability.
That's the thing that's making me feel a little uneasy. Lol. I'm just keeping fingers crossed and hoping they somehow have a large inventory or didn't get very many preorders?
