If I may ask a question....

Those of you who are trading in a phone, do you prefer to back up your own data & take in the wiped device? Or...do you let Best Buy transfer your data & then wipe the device?

The Best Buy Employee said they would transfer the data & activate the new phone. However, my husband pre-ordered an unlocked phone. I was going to wipe his s9 trade-in & just pop his T-Mobile sim into the new s10+.

How do you folks handle a trade-in?

Thank You!

Now that's some funny crap. Pre ordered on the 21st and no call or email. But I can buy it on line and pick up today.

My preorder that I ordered in store still states it will be ready for pickup today. I was told when I ordered it that they would call yesterday to set up an appointment, but no call. I can actually still cancel if that means anything. If the phone is late it is not the end of the world for me so we will see.

Got 3 of the 4 pickup emails. Still didn't get the white one but she called me last night and said to come in at open. Plus online it says they have 2 left. So here's hoping!

Mine is in the same state.

I've given up at this point lol, if it comes today, that's great but I've got a feeling it's not gonna happen today. This is what I see when I go into Best Buy and check availability of the phone.

I ordered a few days ago and only black was available for pickup. Fingers crossed.

Same even if they have mine today, which I hope they do, this stress wasn't worth this.

Agreed, I did this also with the Note 9 and it was the same thing so after this, no more pre ordering from Best Buy, it's just no guarantee and they don't have a valid system in place for pre-orders.
