Samsung Galaxy S6 Best Buy Pre Order Deal and Dates.

[jcthorne#AC]

They had better not activate the device before I come to pick it up as they have no idea what phone number to assign it to. If they deactivate the wrong line I am gong to be pretty upset with them and they WILL be taking considerable time to make it right while I am there.

They won't activate the device before you get there. They won't even take it out of the box. I also had the receipt issue. I called bestbuy corporate and they confirmed it should be on the receipt. I called my local bestbuy where I pre ordered and they added the charger to my pre order. I received an emailed saying the charger was added and the price said gift.

Has anyone heard anything about the pre-orders arriving early? I never got a chance to ask the guy before i left on Saturday when i pre-ordered it. I'm hoping early next week because that would be amazing.

Take this with a huge grain of salt, but when I was ordering I asked the rep if it'd be here on the 10th, and he was like next Wednesday. Now I doubt they'll be here tomorrow, but it's possible he meant Wednesday the 8th. I don't know, that's just what he said. We all know how off reps can be.

Well both of you seem to line up, so that will be nice even 2 days early if it is true!

Two days makes it easier but TMO still got theirs way early.

Guys, I know there has been a lot of back and forth on this post, but I am getting ready to pre-order for Verizon S6 tomorrow from best buy online, and I really want to know will there be an option to ship to house instead of ship to store for it? I don't know why everyone is saying they had to pick up in store, why wouldn't you just choose ship to home?

From people who have preordered online with best buy can you please respond is there a ship to home option?

I believe that someone has already posted to that effect.

I can certainly understand shipping it home. For some, that's great. I like picking up in the store so whatever issues arise, they can dealt with quickly and a Samsung rep is there for questions. BB Mobile and Samsung reps are there any to make sure everything is going well before you leave. I rather pick it up in person and have this option.

jcp I understand your opinion but I am looking for someone to respond with proof that there is the option to ship to home. So since you are so involved in this site and other posts, did you pre order from best buy if so then you should be able to answer my question and not give just an opinion thanks!

I was told that there wasn't. I was planning on pre-ordering from best buy but the information I received from two different stores was all contradicting. They couldn't tell me when it would be in or how many pre-orders they have already made. I'm worried if they only get a few in I'm stuck waiting another week or so until more come in. Might just order through Verizon, In the past I always received phones the day of or one day after.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy last Friday afternoon. Verizon 64g black. I was told I had to come in and pick up in person, probably because I'm changing to the Edge program. Beat Buy employees were not well educated on the process at all and kept referring to a cheat sheet they had printed. Hopefully pick up day goes much better.

 

[briggy79]

Did it say when it ships? Does it ship on the 10th, or the 8th?

For those that might be wondering, I also just called the Best Buy customer service number and spoke to an agent about the process of in-store pickup for devices. She said that BEFORE I come into the store Best Buy will contact your carrier (in my case AT&T) and get the phone setup with my plan. She indicated all I should have to do is pick up the phone at the customer service line. I'm really hoping that is the case.....

Right now it indicates it will arrive at my house on Monday the 13th. I will repost if that changes to earlier.

Not opinion. Recollection. There is a post by someone who ordered via Best Buy and the device is shipping to their house.

You absolutely can have it shipped to home. The reason I chose in store pickup is even with the fastest ship to home delivery option BB said it wouldn't get to my house until Monday the 13th and it would have been an additional 18.99 for that shipping option. I just ended up going in store, price matching to AT&Ts price for the S6 edge 64GB and will pick it up on Friday the 10th

Hey everyone, I just got off the chat with a Verizon representative and I asked if there was any advantage to ordering with them instead of Verizon. I was basically seeing if they could throw anything in. What the rep did say was that you can not go on the Verizon Edge plan if you buy through Best Buy. Can anybody else confirm this? If so, that's a deal breaker for me.

If so its exclusively a Verizon thing. I'm on the Next program with AT&T and will be switching to the 12 month Next for the S6 and i pre-ordered at Best Buy.

This is not true. I have pre ordered through best buy and will be using the edge program.

I doubt that is true. I am starting new service with Verizon with the S6 and was upfront about that with Best Buy before I preordered with them, to make sure what I wanted to do was possible. When I told them I wanted to do it on two-year contract, they let me know I would have to port my number from existing Sprint account in order to do so, or they would HAVE to put my new account on Edge. Even quoted me Edge monthly pricing. Seems odd they would have Edge pricing or tell me they'd have to put me on Edge (if I didn't port number), if they weren't able to actually offer the Edge plan.
