Best Buy Pre-Orders

[Starr Almighty]

Lets quickly do the math to vent out frustration...
3 colors (Black,Silver,Grey) on 2 models (S8,S8+) on 4 carriers (AT&T,Verizon,TMobile,Sprint)= 24 possible scenarios on the shift to 25th.
Why Why WHy???

All we have right now is a Sprint S8 Grey is supposedly on its way. I'll believe it when they ring my doorbell.

I wonder if it has to do with the 8+ being more popular and might have shortage issues?

Mine is the regular S8, and I'm seeing 4/25 right now, same as you.

Status did just change to "Preparing" though.

Bet it would be interesting to see the traffic counts on the Best Buy Order Status pages right now. hehe

In retrospect... Looking back at my posts in the past hour, I feel like reading some yuppie kid whining about not getting his toy as promised...
I guess next time I want to feel young or like a kid again, I'll just do another pre-order via BestBuy.

Chill out guys, once it ships the date will probably change! No need to worry yet.

My installment just went active on my ATT for my S8+ the other day showed inactive, so now that I'm actually paying for my 8+ it time to have it in my hands.

Same here. I ordered on the 4/10. Two S8s, one silver and one black. Orders were both charged to my credit card tonight, and the only change to my order status was the "deliver by 4/25."

My best buy order for the S8+ AT&T is showing an expected delivery date of tomorrow - shipping via UPS.

What color you go for on your S8+ and when did you pre-order it?

Well damn that's exactly the same as my order to the T. Hope I get updated like yours before the night is out.

So they have the audacity to send some phones early and give some us, who were promised phones on release date, late phones.....to the hotline I go!

 

[Jason Fournier1]

I don't think order date has anything to do with delivery date. It would only matter if it went backorder.

The hold wait time is 1 hr and 51 min lol

 

[Jason Fournier1]

For the record, S8+, midnight black, Verizon, 25th

I ordered midnight black (Sprint) and I haven't gotten any updates either.

And its trolling new buyer too...
If you go to ordering page, you'll see delivery method impacts when you will receive your phone, for mail to home, it defaults to 4/25, but for pick up in-store, it is still showing 4/21
So... lets refresh the math here...
3 colors (Black,Silver,Grey) on 2 models (S8,S8+) on 4 carriers (AT&T,Verizon,TMobile,Sprint) on 2 delivery methods (mail to home, pickup at store)= 48 possible scenarios on the shift to 25th.
Why Why WHy???
Inner baby crying and kicking ans screaming!
