BestBuy: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

On verizonwirless.com the Blue 512 is on back order until October 15th or so IIRC... so I assume you guys that pre ordered will get yours before then... and that sucks.

They should update you when you order... they know how many they have coming in.
 
The product has to be produced in Asia to cover the under planning, shipped, received and bloated by carriers and then shipped to retailers. Not seeing how this is less than weeks for a lot of us.

Mine should be here today, but beyond UPS's site saying it shipped on the 24th, there has been no update for the tracking information.
 
Take it for what it's worth, but the Best Buy Mobile CSR I just talked to said that up to this point Best Buy had only received somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 Verizon 512GB phones for the entire United States.

Definitely good to know. I'm glad I was able to secure one.

That MAY have been just the blue model, but I'm not really sure, or like I said, even sure how accurate the statement was. Pretty sure he was just really trying to keep me from cancelling my preorder.

Was told that the worst offender was Verizon. Best Buy only controls delivery of unlocked phones.
 
Finally!!! Just got my Note 9 from BB. I ordered the Blue 128 from Verizon. For some reason Savannah, Ga BB was the black sheep of the family. If you did a store search, it was showing "Available in 1 hour" at least 50 miles or more out.

What's sad that today at 4pm showed the Savannah store giving the same pickup time in for 1 hour. I called to see what was going on about my pre-order for pickup. They kept telling me I was not on the list. I had to give my order number to prove it. Even thought they told me they had it and I come get it, they never updated my status through BB. I had to explain the whole situation to the store pickup employee to get it.

I hope everyone's gets there order soon as well.
 
Well my order just went from "in progress" to "preparing"... maybe I'll see it before the holiday weekend. fingers crossed

Mine has been "Preparing" since the 24th. It's basically a polite way of saying "backordered."

I called Best Buy Mobile about it. On their side they see it as "Preparing: Awaiting Inventory." Funny how they don't show the consumer that in the automated system.

That said, there may be other forms of "Preparing" so...hope your situation is different!
