I'm guessing those that are in store pickup will get there "Ready for pickup" status late thurs or Fri morning.

I was under the impression they are calling the day before to make "appointments" rather than just blast emails for people to come and get them.
I think that's only if you are activating in store.I heard the appointment thing too... But the girl saturday said I pick it up at the web orders desk along with an activation packet. Dont see why i need an appointment if they arent activating it.

We are doing appointments too,but only for in-store preorders.
But we're not scheduling appointments if you ordered online and just want to pick it up
I only ordered in-store because I first pre-ordered (online) the S8 and decided to change to the plus and went in so they can cancel the upgrade with Verizon and clear it to switch my order to the plus. I also wanted to confirm my VZ trade in offer for the S7E. They did the pre-order with me, I have a receipt, albeit under my wife's name and I can't see the order status online so it feels like just an IOU for a phone when they come in. No big deal, but I wish I had more than just a piece of paper and also realized I didn't have to do any of this in store.
So here's my question: will I be able to grab the phone and go or will I have to sit there while they open and activate it for me. I've heard about customers not able to leave until it's activated by the BB employees and to be honest, I'd feel better doing all the tech setup myself.
So with an online order with in store pick up, can we grab it and go?

Yup! Just wait for the email that says your order is ready for pickup. The man go up to the store, bring a valid photo ID and the Credit or Debit card u used to make the order.
They gonna enter the info off the card and then give you the phone and out the door you go
I've ordered three phones from best buy in the last couple of months, and they just hand it to me unopened after I sign for it at the pick up desk. Never had to activate it with them.
Well they're not supposed to. We're supposed to open and activate all new devices. Unless, they're paid for online, full price or prepaid devices.
But hey....good for u
I actually canceled an order at Best Buy one time because they wouldn't let me. It was for my daughter and I didn't want her to be without a cell phone all day. I went straight to Verizon and they handed me the box without activating.
