Best Buy Pre-Orders

Finally received tracking... ETA Monday! I really hope that changes!
Well... I thought it might change when it started moving, but I was wrong. Went from Nebraska to now Kansas yesterday and won't be in Texas until MONDAY! What a crock!

I guess I won't order on April Fools Day again lol.
 
My status: ordered S8 (VZ) online (day 1) for delivery, wanted to switch to S8+ (orchid gray) so went into store to get it changed as they had to get Verizon to release my upgrade (for which I had to call BB from inside the store to do anyway). But since I was in store, I had to get in store pick up (with the dreaded sit and watch while they open and activate it). Bleh. Order date April 7.

I got the paper receipt with the "3..." order number which doesn't allow me to see any status online, even as a guest, etc. I do have faith however, that I will receive a call today to schedule a pickup tomorrow. I get out of work early tomorrow so I can be to the store around 2:30 so I hope it'll be a down time and can get done quickly (fingers crossed) because I have to get home shortly after and don't have time for a long wait.

In the meantime, my blue Alcantara case from Amazon UK is waiting at the post office for pickup today (good timing!)

Hope to pick up the phone tomorrow in my small window...

Now need to figure out how to set it all up since my wife just got off work tomorrow night and she won't be happy with me playing with my phone all night...
 
I preordered from Best Buy. But I didn't do it until yesterday (4/19). Website and confirmation email says available 4/21/estimated pick up 4/21. Status still says preordered. Originally ordered the s8, but cancelled it and preordered the s8+ instead. Holding up hopes I can picking it up tomorro like they say. Coming from and iPhone 7 plus. Things just getting old to me, as much as I love , I'm tired of pretty much the same exact design they have had for the last 3 years. Hoping this phone is as awesome as it looks!
 
Quick question...I keep seeing people saying Best Buy took the $100 off...is that only for the carrier pricing plans? I'm buying the phone out right (ouch) so I'm not sure if I should be getting the $100 off I'm hearing about

From what I've read, you should get the $$ off as long as you pre-order with bb..

If your buying it out right and from a carrier you should still get the 100$ off no matter if you have payments or pay in full.

You don't get the $100 off since you're paying full price unfortunately
 
I can only speak to the AT&T offer...My understanding was that the BB discount was only available when buying on NEXT. There isn't a discount for purchasing outright. The monthly NEXT price was $2 or $3 per month lower than buying throughout AT&T.

Maybe that changed?
 
Its on the price of the phone period. No unlocks are being sold yet, so you are just skipping the damned payment plans part. You should get 50 off the S8, or 100 off the S8+

He can still buy one of the carrier branded phones full price. If he does though, he will not get the $100 or $50 off the phone. That promotion is only if you finance the phone on lease or installments.
 
I'm not even going to torture myself by looking up my order status. I'm sure it's being prepared like everyone else's is. Just hoping I get that pick up email early tomorrow so I can get to the store when it first opens. Lol
 
I think you may be able to do the payment plan and make 3 or 4 payments then pay in full to get the discount. They apply it before financing, at least on verizon they do.
 
I sure do hope all the $99 bundles don't get claimed before I even get a chance to pick up my phone.... I guess if they do it saves me $100 I shouldn't be spending...LOL
