I been trying to find some too. I've debated just "getting in line" but got lucky once and got a pair from BB & had I known wife was going to commandeer them I would've gone 2X on them.

Happy wife happy life right?? LOL. Did you at lest get to tinker with them bit? Also when did you get them, recently or back in December? Online/Walk-In?
I got them first week of January. Like 2nd I believe? Caught that window where BB had orders open and shipping next day right after Christmas. It closed/ended as quick as it came.
Yes I got to play with them for a bit. I really like them... so much that I wish they were still mine
Great news, she's happy LOL
In store availability seems to be a lot worse then a few weeks ago. I used the in stock alerts and was able to snag a pair and i never unsubscribed from the alerts and i haven't received one in at least a week or 2.
End of December and early January, I was getting alerts basically everyday, multiple times per day, of Apple stores near me getting stock.

What website did you use?
I personally used this website, https://www.machookup.com/ but this one might be limited to only Apple stock whereas the website posted above also includes Target, Best Buy, AT&T and Verizon.
Either way, I highly recommend subscribing using your cell providers email. This way you receive a text message instead of email which could be the difference in them being in stock or not when you read the email:
- To get a text use <10 digit cell>@<provider email>.
- AT&T: 1112223333@txt.att.net
- T-Mobile: 1112223333@tmomail.net
- Verizon: 1112223333@vtext.com
I got mine on launch day but have been able to go through cell providers (AT&T) to get others. Try chatting with an agent and see if they have them in stock. Most of the time, they have (for me), and they ship out in a day.
My local Apple Store has not gotten any in for quite awhile, slim pickings and all one can do is keep monitoring.
I don't think the Apple Store or any store for that matter has any or is receiving stock at the moment. Apple is probably rerouting everything to their own stores. 6 weeks it is! But hopefully far less than that.
I was wondering where they were all going, now that makes sense...satisfying pre-order demand. The ones that pop up at a store occasionally could just be pre-order cancellations.
I got an alert that Verizon had some in today and ordered a pair. Says shipping today so fingers crossed.
I gave up on the hunt after trying to use tracking sites for a couple weeks and just got "in line" at Best Buy. Says March 16th, but I have hopes they'll ship sooner. I suppose if I miraculously find some in stock around Los Angeles, I can cancel the Best Buy order and get my money back.
