I just ordered one. I went big, ultra 512 black. I was going to go thru Samsung, went thru the whole order process, chose Verizon device payment and they kept showing a balance of $700+ and wanted a credit card. I would have provided a credit card if the balance was showing tax and the $5 overage of promo items bought.
So went to Best buy, ordered, paid the taxes like it should have been on Samsung and done. Best buy was $50 cheaper making the difference going to the 512 $150, so went that route Yes, it only allowed in store pick up for me also, imagine because of the trade in. I'm not counting on getting this in on release date, hoping in time for the promo.
