Best Buy Pre-orders

who else did a best buy pre-order? i was going to do in store pickup, but then i saw a best buy faq page saying
"Q: I never received a notification that my Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up, even though I pre-ordered it?
A: If you haven't received notification that your Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up it means the store didn't receive enough of the model you pre-ordered to fulfill you pre-order at this time, or they haven't physically reserved your pre-order yet with the inventory they did receive."
and I def didn't wanna chance that..knowing my luck, they wouldn't get it. so i just did shipping.
it says it'll arrive BY release date of march 11th...anyone ever have any experience getting a best buy order before? i never used them for shipping before, so I'm wondering if i'll definitely get it ON march 11th.
pumped, though! played with one at best buy today and it's a nice phone. have my Moto X up for sale (since I use my note 4 so much more than the X) so i'm excited to get it!

I did bb pre order for an iPhone and hopefully Sammy is better. All stores get an allotment. Some for preorder and some walkin.
I cancelled and went to sprint that time. Some preorders were not filled for 5-7 weeks! Again that was an iPhone thing, hopefully Sammy sends out plenty!

Well the reason they didn't get a notification that it's ready to pick up is that it's not been released yet...

I'm also interested to know..if you buy online and ship to your home address will it be shipped on or before 11th? Or will it be after this date?

I mean when you click "when will I get it?" or whatever, it says on release date, 3/11 so I'm guessing they ship out prior..

Response from bestbuy cs said the 11th or the day after is *expected*. They dont know for sure or they cannot say, but most likely they just don't know at the rep level.

In the past, now get this, they have said the get it by date is not when you get it, but when they get it

I don't know if it means much, but T-mobile has started shipping pre-orders. Mine is scheduled for UPS Next Day Air delivery tomorrow. They don't have to wait to ship, but they won't give you a date before the release date until they actually ship it.

see, that's absolute bs. if you go to best buy right now on the website and check the phone, and clikc "see when you can get it" for shipping, it says:
Get it by:
Release Date, Fri, Mar 11 - FREE
Standard
See final shipping costs in checkout.
so that's plain english stating you WILL get it by release date, correct?
day after won't happen since it's saturday and they definitely aren't doing saturday shipping.
this is just annoying because it needs a signature they claim, so i need to know if i should take off that day or not, ya know?
*edit* FWIW, not that reps know too much, but i did the chat and this was the transcript:
Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Abraham. How may I assist you today?
28-Feb 03:39 PM
good afternoon, i've preordered a galaxy s7 for verizon, and the release date is march 11th. now, when you goto the device page and click "see what you can get it" it states you will have it on release date, march 11th.
28-Feb 03:40 PM
is this confirmed?
28-Feb 03:41 PM
Good afternoon! That is great that you pre-ordered the new Galaxy S7!
I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions. Yes, you will be able to receive it on the 11th of March.
28-Feb 03:42 PM
perfect, so since signature is required, i may have to take off that day as i don't know what time it will come
28-Feb 03:42 PM
so it's 100% safe to say that on march 11th, UPS will deliver my S7?
28-Feb 03:42 PM
That is correct, you will get on the release date.
28-Feb 03:43 PM
perfect! thanks for your help today, abraham
so who knows. maybe we'll be lucky!

tmobile is always awesome with shipping phones early. wish best buy would too lol. i'm buying full price, so i didn't bother with verizon...and i know verizon always gets it to you on release date, but i've never pre ordered from best buy.

The Note 5 was the first phone Verizon ever shipped early to most people.Got mine a week early.Hope that was the start of a trend of early shipping by them.

I preordered, then a day later canceled. I wanted the free VR wear and the SD card but I didn't want to get roped into the stupid AT&T's 2 year $26 a month deal

Why didn't you just order the AT&T "unactivated" S7? It still comes with the VR and SD card.

Hmm not sure I saw that. Must have missed it. Is that where you pay upfront full price? I think ultimately I want to see what the models are like when they come out. I currently have tmobile s5 with AT&T sim. May want to buy another tmobile if they're unlocked bootloader. The whole SIM locked phone idea has me wondering though. Ie first sim installed, locks phone to carrier.

Preordered mine thru bestbuy.com hopefully they ship early. T-Mobile is doing so. So anxious!

Best Buy Mobile employee here, the way pre orders are usually explained are that when you pre-order, there is a chance you won't get it on launch day but you WILL get it before someone that just walks in to buy it without one. I personally haven't seen many stores run out of pre-order stock.
Hope that helps!

I'm 99% sure (at least in my store) you can only do in store pick-up if pre-ordering in store. Haven't heard otherwise about online pre-ordering.
EDIT: The info I posted is for if you are doing it through a contract/installment billing. I think if you get an unlocked or T-Mobile (we don't carry T-Mobile contracted phones in most stores), it's different.

thanks for the insight. I didn't pre-order in store, though. I did online. I was contemplating in store pickup until I read that there's a chance they may not have stock for all pre-orders... so i just did shipping. so any idea whether buying full price and getting it shipped should be here early? the chat rep said we'll have it the 11th for sure.

I did the same as you. Paid full price and selected to have it shipped to my house. AT&T version. I went Best Buy over AT&T because Best Buy is typically better about returns and don't charge you any fee, Best Buy offered a free 64 GB microSD card, Best Buy is actually sending out the Gear VRs instead of just sending you a code to get one from Samsung, and finally, I had a $20 Best Buy gift card that I need to use lol. Best Buy is notorious for botching pre-orders, so I'll just be happy if we get it on or by the 11th. I doubt we'll get it early.

According to this, there are two versions of the Frontier, one with and one without LTE:
http://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8307&idPhone2=8308
It's very confusing. I've preordered too but can see nothing on the Samsung UK website to confirm whether their Frontiers are LTE models.

Hi guys, look at this:
http://es.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-gear-s3-frontier.html
Thats the real 4G frontier, I think samsung its scamming his costumers not telling that the version they are buying isnt 4G. The 4G LTE version it will be distributed by mobile companies not by classic retailers because needs E-sim. I really think samsung is scamming his costumers, people is buying frontier thinking its 4G and isnt!!!

I suspect so, if it is the case then i may return the watch. But to be honest being the the UK they never offered the S2 LTE version or others.
I doubt i will use the feature, moreso as it kills battery and i always carry my mobile.

I mailed Samsung UK asking if the Frontier watch I preordered came with LTE.

Amazon pre-orders to ship Sun Dec. 6
http://tinyurl.com/jd3mfns
Pre-ordered mine on Amazon this morning, but it already disappeared from existence on Amazon.com. Even when I click on my email order confirmation, I get taken to a "Sorry, we couldn't find that page" page. (And the "Buy it again" button takes gives me an "unavailable" pop-up)
Also interesting, supposedly mine will be delivered Wednesday the 9th, but then it says, "Release date: Tuesday, January 31st, 2017"?! Fingers crossed...

Ditto... I thought I was reading my post from another thread for a moment... lol
Ya, that whole disappearing thing and the 31st release date kind of makes me nervous. I emailed Amazon, but haven't heard back yet.

They've changed their minds. Reports now say everyone's getting it on Nov. 18 - but my Amazon order now says Feb 2, 2017!! Also, odd that it's going to be $350 everywhere else, but $382 on Amazon?! Guess I'll be canceling that order...
(They did send me an "order update" email saying I could refuse it or return it if it comes too late. Yeah, I HOPE to have one before February!)

Ordered mine from AT&T for $249 with 2 yr contract. To be delivered 11/18.

Looks like BestBuy USA is sold out. You can't pre order from there anymore. The Canadian site still shows it as available though.

If it cost $350 for the non LTE Frontier, that means it may cost $450 for the cellular enabled version. Guess we'll have to wait for the carriers to put up their preorder page.

The Best Buy Canada site shows a release date of November 18. Probably safe to expect that will be the US release date, too.

Tizen Experts posted on Twitter that Best Buy stopped the pre order because they ran out of stock.
Now, the good news is that Best Buy in the USA has started offering the next Tizen smartwatch for $349.99, that is for both the Gear S3 Classic and also the Gear S3 Frontier. We were overjoyed with this news as our American cousins do not like being left out when it comes to device launches. At that time the delivery date was rumoured to be around mid-November but it hadn’t been officially confirmed. Unfortunately all celebrations eventually have to come to an end and Best Buy now reports that the S3 has ran out of stock.

Best Buy pre-order waiting room

Rather than order direct from Verizon, I preordered the Verizon variant from Best Buy for the $50 off and geek squad protection. As there isn't a thread already started, and typically the shipping and receiving dates are sometimes different from the carriers, can we get a waiting room/order progress thread for Best Buy orders going? (Or is this now considered it)
Ordered this morning around 4:30, Orchid Gray, S8, expected 4/21

I was considering getting it either directly from AT&T or elsewhere, but went with Best Buy for the exact same reason you did -- to save up to $100 on the device, haha.
Ordered the S8 in Orchid Gray last night in-store, and expected on 4/21. The guy who helped me with the pre-order said that they'd call/e-mail me once the device arrived to the store. Anyone that pre-orders will get priority to those who simply walk in at launch, which is why they contact you, so you can pick it up ASAP.

Oddly Best Buy has the S8 retail price at 819.99 and Verizon list it at 720.00. But the monthly payments purchasing at Best Buy is 27.91, which is 2.09 less than Verizon's 30.00 monthly charge. Why does Best Buy list the phone a hundred dollars more retail than Verizon? I think maybe it has something to do with Geek Squad coverage. The service charge for phones over 800.00 is 199.99 and it's 149.99 for phones under 800.00.

Ordered mine for verizon from bestbuy. After I confirmed my verizon info it took the price of the S8 down from 27.91 a month to 23.91 a month stating some change from verizon. Probably a glitch but hopefully it holds true.

Any idea when best Buy is shipping? Seems like everywhere else will get it early incl Verizon direct now. Bummer...

When I ordered at my local bestbuy store the rep told me that last year they had galaxy s7s in stock for a week or 2 before release and word didnt come down to release them until the day of (which was a week early and a surprise to staff etc...according to him) so I'm sure we won't hear a word until at least Monday. Unless someone decides to call and harass customer service lol

Canadian Carriers Pre-Order Shipping and Waiting Room

Since there are a lot of American and Europe threads on pre-ordered waiting rooms, I've decided to create one for us Canadians who have Koodo, Telus, Rogers, Bell, etc.
For me, I have Koodo. I ordered the Midnight Black Samsung S8 on March 31st. My delivery date says April 17th which is four days earlier than the folks down south. It will be interesting if we do get it that early.
How is everyone's order going thus far? Koodo unfortunately, does not have any tracking system, so I have to wait for an email to popped up in my inbox saying it has shipped. Not being able to check what stage it's on sucks big time.
Feel free to post on how your process is going!

First time pre-ordering a phone from a carrier. I usually buy it straight from the company but Koodo has a neat Tab system. Paid $700 down and the remaining $350 gets spread out over two years ($15/Month). But then again, I can pay off that $350 anytime.

Rogers phoned me yesterday to let me know the store has received my device and I can pick it up on the 17th Monday morning.

Samsung Experience Store..my preorder ready for pickup on 17th
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I know people on Rogers and Fido who got their calls that the phone is in and can be picked up on Monday.
I opted for Rogers' "pay now and get it early" option and it looks like mine isn't even getting shipped out until Monday. That's the first and last time I go for that option.

Got my email confirmation! Doesn't say the delivery date yet but I'm sure it's Monday like the rest of you!

Ordered mine from samsung.com lets see if i'll get it this year... maybe i should of went to the store.

Who is excited to get their phones tomorrow/Tuesday! I know I am!

Canada confirmed Snapdragon 835

Damnit, the north american section of the dev forums will be dead.

It's super smooth and fast.
Let's see how it fairs over time knowing Samsungs history
Feels great in hand S8+
Seeing a little pink/purple tinge in panel which is normal just hope it doesn't get too bothersome...will vary device to device
Had read it had brightest screen of any phone ever...will have to see
Keen on seeing what screen on time I can get tomorrow during normal usage...setting it up as we speak
