Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

Aw yea, guess who is posting from their new phone?!

Since we are switching from Sprint to Verizon we also received a $200 gift card per line which I didn't know about. So we got $200, Gear VR, SD card and our phones 4 days early. How can you beat that?
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

I hope so, seeing all these pics of phones is making me extremely anxious LOL. I did a live chat and the guy told me all he can see is that it's to arrive today but no additional info, I'm going to wait a bit more, before I call the store.

Seems like Sprint is having issues too, wonder if it's for all carriers.
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

The ppl who are on AT&T and Sprint. Is ur box magnetic??

My verizon box has a little tab that goes in to a slot.
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

It's not the carrier's bestbuy failed to plan properly. Before releasing or shipping theyour a preactivation. My failed because they didn't have the acount password. I was told it will take a minimum of 24hrs to fix the problem then they will ship it.
I tried ship to home this time because of getting screwed with instore pickup of preorders in the past. Big freaking surprise it didn't make a difference. No more preorders from bestbuy for me no matter what the offers.
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

That sucks! Wth is wrong with them?! They definitely dropped the ball there. I called them and they told me that only a preorders came in, so I told him then why on earth did y'all change the expected delivery date? Of course no answer, so I guess I'll wait to pick up the other stuff that came in once the device comes in. First and last time I preorder anything. I would've preferred them leaving the release date to 3/11 to be honest. Oh well pfft!
 
Re: Best Buy sold out of ATT S7 edge silver titanium

Changed from preparing to out of stock... Called the number and they advised not to do anything with the order as it would push me to the end of the line. Bummer! Ordered it the first day on the 23rd. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.

I'm heading out of town next Monday. Does anyone have advice?

Verizon - Silver
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

So I got the gold S7 edge on Verizon from BB. The interesting thing is that I wanted to buy it outright but even after discussing with BB in advance when I went in they told me if I did that I couldn't get the goodies :(. Long story short The way I did it was to add a line temporarily, then bought using the edge program (Verizon). Then I'll be paying off the phone completely from Verizon within 3 days and then will cancel the line. By doing this I also qualified for the $200 gift card from BB (sweet :)) I'll need to sign up for Samsung Pay so I can get the free wireless charger. I also get $50 discount from Verizon. So I'll get all the goodies and a total of $250.00 discount off of the full purchase price of the phone. BB rep was very helpful.
 
Re: Best Buy sold out of ATT S7 edge silver titanium

After the activation error this morning I just got an email saying is ready to be picked up!
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

What I think is weird is that I have one phone being shipped and another one for store pick up. I got the email that the VR and SD card are ready for store up but not the phone. I went to the store at lunch and they told me the phone could be released any minute but wouldn't give me the VR or card (it's a package deal). The mobile manager was acting like there was some issue with releasing the phones. But on the phone that I have shipping to my house I got the tracking number for just the VR. The card and the phone have not shipped, still says Preparing your item for shipping. When I go to my order it does say 1 of 2 packages, the phone and SD card have not shipped. Why break them up when shipping to my house but can't pick them up from the store separate?

I ordered online (same: gold edge on Verizon) and got mine outright (unactivated) and I'm getting the goodies too. Wanted to keep my UDP. You $200 BB card was worth your method however.

Me and all my accessories are getting antsy...
Here's the latest I picked up today for the gear VR

I have UDP as well which is why I went this route. (Add-Payoff-Drop). Nice accessory. I ordered the iPEGA PG-9021 Bluetooth Wireless Game from Amazon for my VR. Enjoy :)
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

They should have shipped to coordinate with the store pickups arriving.
 
Re: Bestbuy Pre-order Status (Post Here)

Just got the email that the phone and SD card have shipped. Says Expected Delivery date is Tues March 8th. Signature is required but I have a UPS account and was able to do a Shipment Release Authorized form on line so they can leave it at my house.
