Any idea on when corporate stores get shipments?

[anon(590893)]

So, I didn't preorder my Note 2 and planned on walking in to a corporate store and purchase it. Problem is, THEY SOLD OUT TODAY (I don't exactly understand how... I get that it's a hot device, but I thought it was also a niche device...). Tomorrow, around opening time for my store (10 am) I will try to purchase it. But I won't know when they would receive a shipment. Any idea?

P.S: Is it possible to call the store ahead of time and "reserve" one as soon as it gets in stock?

None of the AT&T stores who had them for the brief time said they couldn't hold one for me. I was lucky to get the last one at a AT&T (parrot) authorized dealer store. I guess they are different from the AT&T Store. Weird. Good luck though!

Both of the stores local to me sold out basically the second they opened their doors. They weren't able to give me a date for the next shipment, but I think it's pretty safe to say it's not going to be on a Saturday.

I got the last one at my local store. They told me they wouldn't hold it for me, but I mentioned that a rep. i was working with said I could.
I had been there a few times asking about the phone and early upgrades, that the manager remembered me and saved 1 for me.

So, I did walk into a corporate store today. The rep told me that this specific store gets shipments on Monday. So, here's to Monday!

EDIT: Well, I answered my own question. Weird.
