Best Buy online - headed to retrieve it now.

Congrats! So even their online store is breaking street date but those who ordered for instore pickup get screwed.

So you went in store and they told you that?

Man that's stupid that they won't break the street date even having it 2 days early.... and that's REALLY stupid that you lose your wireless charger if you decide to switch (i'm not but still I've read people on this forum saying they were thinking about switching)

I'm never doing store pickup from Best Buy again for a preorder

Wonderful... Guess I'll be in there along with everyone else that just walks in of the street... /sigh. Well at least I get a free charger.

I pre-ordered very early on Mar 27 for home delivery and I haven't seen anything yet either. Called BB and all they could tell me was that delivery guaranteed by April 17th

WTF 17th no way and forget about wireless charger. Will cancel the order if I not get it by Monday.

This thread is going to get really ugly by Friday night.....

Here is a quick first look. Nice that there are no Sprint logos anywhere. Also note that the wireless charger is shipping later. Curious if everyone with in store pickup gets them Friday.

That's why I didn't preorder a S6, because I got burned once (my order didn't get shipped until after the phone was available at the local store). This time, I'm planning to pick one up live at the ATT store on Fri.

No. Release day is Friday the 10th. Pre orders should get filled on or before release date not a week later.

I understand that...but it seems to me that BB is not committing to even ship the phone until the 10th and that with standard shipping it will be there in 5 business days. Obviously hoping for a lot sooner. If it's not at least shipped on friday I will see if I can go to the store to get one.

Oh you're having them delivery it to your house not the store? Ah ok I guess that might be different. I plan on picking mine up at the store on Thursday, Friday or Sat. The sooner the better

Yeah, maybe that was a mistake on my part but live and learn. Obviously though many others on his thread have gotten them already but maybe the combination of BB and AT&T is slower for some reason. It's not like I ordered an uncommon version (regular S6 Black 64GB).

Correct me if I am wrong but the whole purpose of the pre-order was to guarantee a device on release date.

Maybe just me, but I always thought of it as "guarantee a device among the first batch(es) that arrives", not specifically a guarantee of launch day. Granted, that is more from the days when there was more demand than supply, which may or may not be the case here with the S6, as it sounds like there will be plenty of stock on day one. Both times I've pre-ordered through Best Buy, I was specifically told by them that I wasn't guaranteed a device on "launch day".

My local bb didn't even give me a release date. They just said "we don't have a release date, but we'll email you once we have a firm date". Fortunately, I already knew the date. Which means none of the BB employees lurk sites such as AC. They know nothing about technology.

I can't wait until they go out of business. They haven't anything to remedy the in-store experience. All of the BB stores in my area get bad reviews on yelp for customer service and my visit to preorder proved it. Having the loss prevention person greet you at the isn't good customer service - its a scare tactic.

Did you read that anywhere? Pre-order just means order before it's released. You can pre-order the 128gb or the gold but that just means that.....it was ordered before it was released.

If I don't get my GS6 on Friday, I wont preorder at Best Buy again unless the price or offer is so good that it would stupid to pass up.

If you don't get it, just go to your carrier store (JCP I believe you are also on AT&T) and pick one up there. We are not "locked" into purchasing from Best Buy. Seriously, if I get there and it looks like it's going to be a long drawn out process with no end in site, I will go across the street (literally) to the AT&T store and pick my 64GB Black Edge up there
