Dear Scott,

Your reserved order will be ready for pickup on Friday, April 10, 2015 at
GREENVILLE SC.

To make sure everything gets to its rightful owner, we'll need to see:
1.Your state-issued photo ID
2.The order number listed below or a copy of this e-mail

When you come to pick up your order:
•Go to the Best Buy Mobile department.
•Plan for 30 minutes when picking up your mobile device, because we'll activate it and make sure you walk out with it working.
•If the mobile device is attached to a plan, the person named on the plan must be present at pickup.

*Also important: We'll have your order waiting for you until Saturday, April 11, 2015. After that, we will cancel your order.

Just got the same email (for my location) - was hoping I might be able to pick it up early. Oh well... I'll storm their doors in the morn.

Just got my Email to pickup phone Friday 4/10....Verizon, 64gb Black

So all carriers including verizon shipped at least a day early. What's more is other carriers (Sprint only?) have even shipped early from best buy. So its seems those who are last to get the phone are verizon best buy (and maybe others) purchasers who shipped to home......if shipment makes it monday earliest then thats 2 weeks after tmobile users got theirs. I don't understand why best buy uses the release date to signify when available to ship when everyone else uses the release date as a gauge as to when they should have it at our door. So much for pre ordering. Screw best buy and their bass akwards thinking, going somewhere, anywhere else next time.

Yeah at this point I am just hoping it ships tomorrow.

I pretty much only chose Best Buy for pre-order just so I could get the free wireless charging pad from Samsung. Otherwise I would've chosen to hit a Hate-T&T store. In the days of Circuit City, BB was awesome. Now they're pretty sad... like Radio Shack sad.

Has anyone who chose home delivery gotten any update from BB? The order details page online still says "Payment Validated" for the free wireless pad and the generic "We received your order. We'll e-mail you when this item is ready to ship or pick up." for the actual phone.

Same exact thing here. Some people earlier in this thread have received their devices already though

Just talk with bb and all the previous orders will arrive at 4/13th sorry guys but they said ups pickup is afternoons so 4/13th is the best they can do based on conversation with bb

I meant pre orders not previous

 

[speed13]

Can we call and change pickup in store instead delivery? Would they still honor free wireless charger

So the pickup email states to 'plan for 30 minutes' so they can set it all up for you. They don't actually make you sit around and wait for them to set it up do they? Do they give you the option of taking it home and setting it up yourself?

When I talked to AT&T they advised me to just pick the phone up at BB and then call them to activate it - especially if you are doing anything even remotely complicated like an early upgrade or transferring upgrade eligibilty between lines.

That 30 minutes is when they like to up sell you on accessories and all that fun stuff. The most they should have to do is activate it via their system and put the SIM card in the phone, and even that they don't necessarily have to do. Your mileage may vary in terms of getting them to stop there.

Try calling another Best Buy store, the one you called may get theirs later than other BB stores. You can probably ask to pick the phone up at another BB location
