Before switching to T-Mobile in December, my previous 4 or 5 phones had all been from Best Buy. However, those were all in store preorders and not online. Every time they were quick to point out that there was no guarantee my phone would arrive on launch day. Once I even asked if they had any other preorders when I was doing mine and they said I was the first. So how would I not get mine? Well, that was answered with the G4 order. To be fair, its not Best buys fault FedEx hadn't delivered and I was able to go to another store and get my phone. And FedEx did arrive later that day and the Best Buy store did call to tell me the phone was in.
I wouldn't get to worked up yet. You could still receive it on Friday no problem. Still plenty of time for them to ship tonight or tomorrow.
Some people getting phones early isn't always the norm and is almost always a carrier thing.
There are street date clauses built into the contracts between the stores and manufacturers. If a carrier has that clause or breaks it, it's not like LG can really do much. They need the carriers to sell phones. If Best Buy breaks the street date clause, LG could do something without really hurting themselves to much since there are plenty of other places to buy the phone.
