What is best buys problem they have our notes but wont sell them

Went to BestBuy.com and went to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 page
For Verizon is was always greyed out on preorder.
Now it says In Store Only.
When I click on the Check Stores under the Verizon Phone, it lists the Best Buy stores in my area and availability is "Pick it up in 3-5 days"
 
From my University :(







Heh had to mess with y'all today. Friday can't come soon enough.

One and a half more days. If they'd let me get the promo off contract I'd go for it. Probably gonna have to get a lil devious though...

On BestBuys website, look at Note 4 for Verizon.
It used to be Coming Soon.
Now it's In Store Only.
When you click: Check Shipping and Availability all the stores for my area displayed: Pick it up in 3-5 days
 
Are they gonna start shipping the phones out on friday?? That would suck I hope they would at least start shipping tomorrow

They're contractually not allowed to ship those early. Don't know why they put those locks into effect, but companies do. Why did T-Mo get special grants to ship early? Only Sammy and Legere know (OK, a bunch of other people probably know, too).

KICKBACKS

Did anyone pre-order from Best Buy for Verizon for Delivery?
I have to pick mine up at the store...which I hope is Friday.

I did not order for delivery, but I did do in-store pickup. I stopped by the store where I pre-ordered today to ask if they would have the Verizon version on Friday and he was adamant that they would have it that day. I asked him if they had happened to get them in already and he said no, but who knows? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. NEED to get rid of this SGS3 that I've had for two years. I can't even get the battery to last until lunchtime at this point. Carrying a charger with me everywhere I go!
 
I pre-ordered my N4 through BB for Verizon for in-store pickup and was initially told 10/17. Then they told me last Friday that it would be available on 10/23 or 10/24. I haven't gotten an email from BB yet (not that I expected to this early), but I'm assuming that I won't be able to pick it up until late next week. That doesn't stop me from hoping for an earlier release, however.

Verizon's model is the only one that's backordered right now. It will take an extra week for those to hit shelves and deliveries.
 
So no body has had any luck with BB? I am also anxiously waiting on my AT&Y Charcoal N4 :'(. I know some AT&T stores are already releasing the beast into the wild, but I am sticking with the $200 GC from BB :-$.
