BestBuy S10/+: Pre-Order Thread

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!
 
They officially delayed my order. I'm pissed. If I can't get my earpods because of it...

As long as your pre-ordered before today, no matter when you receive the phone, you should still be eligible for the buds.
 
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.
 
Thanks. Can't take this LG phoenix 3 I'm using any longer. Lol.

I'm on my Pixel 3 XL so I'm not complaining too much. Just kicking myself in the butt because I should've went through VZW or Samsung and not Best Buy.

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

i only used best buy because of that juicy $650 off with qualifying trade in

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.
