Best Buy Pre-Order Update Thread

Did you Pre-Order the Galaxy S4 from Best Buy as per this link? Pre-Order in store like I did at 3:27PM on April 16th? Let's post the updates here as to when you pre-ordered and when you receive the device, hoping I get an email from BBY in the next few days since the AT&T stores are shipping out theirs to customers today!
Also, any discussion on pricing, discounts, price matching, Phone Freedom should go here as well.... I paid the $50 to pre-order, have the $50 off attached to my account for Phone Freedom, and will hopefully get some money off with price matching, despite the new wording that says they don't price match contract phones! They told me in store while pre-ordering that they would price match Amazon, Walmart, etc (full list on this page) when I came to pick up the phone, so post your feedback with that as well
S4 coming soon everyone!

I preordered mine through BBY. No news yet.

I pre-ordered in BBY yesterday. They told me they weren't sure when they would receive the devices, but that usually it's the same day as the in-store release. They also told me that pre-orders take priority over other customers BUT that the people who pre-ordered first would take priority over those who pre-ordered later. Basically if the store receives 10 phones, and you were number 11 to pre-order at that store, then you would have to wait until they received another batch of phones. They were unable to tell me how many phones they would be receiving. According to the BBY Mobile manager i spoke with, they usually receive the phones the same day as the carrier stores. So here's hoping for Friday/Saturday I get a call/email from my local BBY!
I was gonna pre-order from ATT, but when I spoke with a rep, they told me all orders after the 22nd would not ship until the 30th, all other orders are shipping today.

I just got back from visiting two BBY stores in my area, the one I had a pre-order at and a larger store that has a much larger inventory, in order to find out if they even received any in, and here's what I took away from the things both stores told me.... the STREET DATE for this phone is the 27th, Saturday, and even if they receive them in before then, they will not sell them early - if an employee is caught doing it, they will get fired, no questions asked.
When the HTC One released on that Friday, they received their inventory in on Wednesday, and emails went out on Wednesday telling people they could come pick up their pre-orders on Friday - the same should happen here, they should receive the pre-ordered S4's sometime before Saturday, and an email will go out, like bvic01 said, first come, first served, to those who pre-ordered.
I was first out of only two people who have pre-ordered at my local store, so they're all but guaranteeing that I'll get mine on Saturday, fingers crossed.....

I think I was only one of a handful that preordered in my store so I hope to get it on Sat.

When I pre-ordered mine, the manager told me that the day before the pre-order count for that store was 13. Im kinda nervous I wont get it the day it comes out. Worst case scenario, if I dont get an email/call by tomorrow, I may just try to get one from an ATT store and use the BBY $50 gift card for a case/screen protector or other accessories. I can always find an excuse to spend money at BBY

Exactly, don't know why people were hesitant to pre-order! Yeah, 13 is kinda high, don't want to crush your hopes or nothing, but if there isn't a large amount of phones getting shipped for launch date, sending more than 13 to one store is pushing it.... I HAD to order from BBY because I'm not going to say no to "free money" with the Phone Freedom $50 off deal, that's just crazy unless someone else had it for $50 off at the same time!

Who told you this?

OK, so now im a little pissed. I just found out that even pre-orders on the 23rd have been shipped out overnight by ATT and are being received today. I called ATT on the 23rd and was told if I preordered through them it wouldnt ship until the 30th, even though the other pre-orders were already shuipping. They said everything the 22nd and back would ship this week. Well looks like they lied, everyone is getting theirs and Im stuck waiting on my BBY pre-order.

Technically, they shipped out on Tuesday, they did not offer overnight shipping unless you upgraded to it, but rather free 2 day shipping.... but yeah, AT&T moved up their ship date to the 23rd even though their launch date is tomorrow with the retail store sales beginning on Saturday - don't know what the difference really is, but Saturday you should be able to get one in store or at BBY if you pre-ordered!

Actually, go read through the last few pages of the ATT pre-order thread. Orders on the 23rd were upgraded to overnight without charge and without request by customer. There's reports of people checking their tracking to find it on the truck for delivery today. So the difference is, if I had pre-ordered through ATT like I originally planned, I would be getting it today. Oh well, I like BBY's device protection plan alot more than ATT's due to the no deductable. I actually carry both, ATT's in event of theft or loss, and BBY's in case I break the damn thing. lol

Kryptos, just curious, are you paying full or upgrading? If upgrading, will BB honor the $168 price of Walmart? That with the discounts would make it an incredible deal!

i concur with you on the best buy protection plan. you pay $5.99/mon for it. if you do anything to your phone, you take it back to them and they ship you a new or refurbished one that day (as long as the claim was put in before 1pm). i have used this service twice and both times i got my replacement phone 2 days later. seems to me to be the best protection plan for phones.

Yeah, it's just another few days, I'm not too worried! That's interesting about the two protection plans, how much does the total of them come out to be? I decided when I bought the SIII not to put any protection on it, SquareTrade has just gotten out of control with their prices, and I'm SO careful with my phones and tablets, it's ridiculous - to date, I have never used a case or screen protector on my SIII after buying it at launch last year, and it still looks brand new!

I'm upgrading on contract, and also talked to the girls at BBY about this whole "end of showrooming / price match" thing I posted links for already, and they said that without a doubt, it does NOT apply to contract phones, so they will not honor the price match at Walmart (which, don't know if you saw, is over - Walmart changed the price back to $198 already)
I asked them what the price matching applies to, and they said "cases, accessories, stuff like that," yeah, like I'm going to go into a store and say "hey, I found this $2 cheaper on Amazon, price match it for me!" They said that so many people asking BBY to PM online retailers when they would never order a phone online, and it didn't make sense to give away money even though people wouldn't find another way to buy their phones - like myself, that's the main reason I buy in store is because I buy so many things online, but I won't have a phone shipped to me, I just don't like the idea all the way around....

Thanks, no I hadn't seen the Walmart change. Not really a big deal tho. I did the buyback thing with BB when I got my S3 last year. I don't know if that's the greatest deal or not but I'm thinking I'll just add another line then get the S4 at upgrade price. Sell them back my S3 and then next year upgrade the S3 line to an S5. Or maybe I'll just keep the S3 for backup.

If the staff won't waste their time with the buy back program, I don't think anyone else should either! I asked them about that too, as in "who in their right mind would give up their SIII for so little?" I was going through eBay to get my phone ready to sell my SIII once I've got a fully functional (read: rooted) S4, and it said this, no joke:
At this point in time, the lowest Buy It Now price from an eBay Top-rated seller for an item like yours in Used condition is $425.00.

Could not believe it, but that's the truth! If you don't want to be hassled for the time it takes to eBay that sucker, I'd give you more than BBY would for it! hahaha

VZW Note 3 @ Best Buy Oct 4th(?)

Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some potentially juicy info. I've been amped up about a potential early release of the VZW model from that last thread that got closed, so I've started my own sleuthing around.
I saw a thread somewhere that someone had heard from a Best Buy employee that the VZW version would be on sale on Friday, October 4th (that's this Friday!) As a result, I decided to call 4 of my local Best Buy stores (which included one specialty BB Mobile store) and check for myself. This is what they said
Store 1: "we don't have an exact date yet, but it should be within the next week" (this is unfortunate, because this is the closest store to my house)
Store 2: "our system says October 4th"
BB Mobile: "we haven't received any shipments yet, but the system says October 4th"
Store 3: "We haven't gotten a shipment yet, but if they arrive, they will go on sale on October 4th"
Things are beginning to look up again for the Verizon faithful. I encourage everybody give their local BB stores a call to see if you get similar responses. My only question now is if they'll price match VZW's $699 price if the corporate stores haven't started selling them yet (Best Buy currently lists full retail price for the VZW variant as $799)

And they said that this was for the VZW version? The only reason I want to verify, is that the AT&T version releases on Friday the 4th, so I hope they weren't looking at that.

One can only hope, ive called 5 stores in utah and 4 of 5 said the 4th?? but that's weird cause its friday and VZW usually likes thursdays???
i guess we shall wait and see....i'll know when/if i get my preorder email friday morning!

This is the Verizon version. I'm grasping at straws every chance I get, so I hope this Oct 4th date holds true. My heart's been broken once already with the original Sept 29 early shipment rumor (which I hold nothing against the EZ in his thread for), so I'm hoping this holds true.
And hopefully it's for both preorder and walk ins. I'm contemplating cancelling the VZW corporate preorder, and pre-ordering one with BB...

Honestly, if by some miracle BB gets it on 10/4 then I will be at the store asking them to hold one while I call Verizon and cancel my pre-order.

Just spoke to my local Verizon store and she said that they were actually supposed to have them in-store in the next few days, but that had been pushed back and that they don't have a definitive date at this time.

Just got back from BestBuy - pre-ordered there as well. If it's a waste then I just have a $50 gift card sitting around. At this point I cant tell if my pre-order from Verizon will arrive before or after BestBuy... Either way, hoping that one of these places gets it this week.

Hopefully it's the same as the S4 release from Verizon which shipped 8 days before it's expected ship date.
..Also the S3 pre-orders arrived several days before the ship date as well.
..Unfortunately it looks like they didn't start shipping the Note 2 until it's ship by date.
It's Verizon though, so of course we can't have a truly definitive ship date.. If they botch my order I'll ship the Note back and just wait until December to cancel and go to T-Mobile. I lover Verizon's service, but they make getting the latest greatest so damn difficult.

May I ask what makes you say that? I'm not disputing you (quite the opposite, judging how all these early release rumors are going), but maybe you know something that we don't.
I'm gonna call BB every day until we can get something more concrete, either from them or from VZW

youre fine i just say that knowing verizon and other people saying they would ship by now. verizon wont let bb beat them to the punch.

Called 2 best buys near me (Hershey, PA) as well as 2 verizon corporate stores. Best buy guaranteed the 4th - verizon reps said that is the tentative date if all goes well. Take that as you will, just thought I'd share

it will be nice if they do release it on the 4th but this sounds a lot like the AT&T thread that claimed a release on the 27th at best buy. I used to work at bb a few years ago and the release dates would change all the time until the day before something is supposed to release then they would put a notice on that product to start putting it out on the sales floor. Not sure if they still use this method but thats how it worked when I was there.

Went into my local BB today (Long Island, NY) and they said the 10th.

Well, I called the store closest to me again, came at them with "I've been hearing it'll release on Oct 4th for Verizon", and they told me "we won't know until the Oct 4th release date".
I'm considering just putting money down on a preorder at the store, then waiting to see if BB or VZW will sell one to me first. Does anyone know if BB will price match Verizon's retail price if it hasn't released yet?

My friend that works at Best Buy Mobile spoke with a rep who said it will be at Best Buy on the 10th. The phone will be out for every other carrier on the 4th; Verizon hasn't given an exact date yet which is why Best Buy employees are most likely saying the 4th since that's the day it will be released for every other carrier.

I second that. My friend is a manager at the Samsung department of BB mobile and he said 10th is when BB will have the GN3.

I was told via BB Wireless sales chat (3) different chat sessions and each one said Verizon Wireless, October 4th. I will stop into the store tomorrow, if its there great, if not, then next Thursday it is. But if you notice the BB website says "In Store Only" for Verizon and "Pre-Order" for all other carriers. So why would that be if there isn't something going on.

Anybody In The US Heard Anything Yet?

My pre-order from Samsung still shows preparing for shipment (as it has since Nov 6th when I ordered)
BestBuy still shows "Pre-Order"
Amazon shows "Temporarily Out of Stock"
Anybody actually gotten a tracking number or seen it in a store?

My order was confirmed this morning [LTE version from T-Mobile.] I'm expecting a tracking number before the end of the day.

My local best buy had 3 in stock. I've been trying to preorder through them for a week. Went this morning and just picked it up.

That's awesome. Just checked my local Best Buys, nothing here.

Nothing at my Bestbuy

Just picked mine up at my local Best Buy in Arlington, TX. There were still 2 left in the box when I left!

They had 5 in stock in the Woodlands, TX this morning when I picked mine up. Online they did not show anything so it would be best to just swing by.

Amazon telling me Tuesday 11/22 delivery

Just called Samsung. She said they were "processing" my pre-order today and I'd have it by next Wednesday at the latest.

if i cant get one today ill wait till the 20th and get it from samsung.com for $299 free ship and no tax

I just canceled my online order and picked one up from the AT&T store by my work

Cancelled my Macy's preorder. Called customer service and they said expected ship date was 12-12. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Verizon might have it before those guys. Plus, that was the wifi/bt only version....

Just picked up the only one available at the corporate store downtown Dallas AT&T. They only received one unit. I was there when the doors opened. Love it.

Who did you order it from?

I ordered mine from AT&T and is supposed to ship on 18th (today) , but still says "preparing to ship"

Just received a reply to the email I sent to Samsung on Monday.
It says:
"Hello,
I do see thatyour order is currently pending to be filled once it comes in stock on11/22/2016. Shipping status is early December, also I do see that you purchased the Gear S3 frontier directly from Samsung.com.We at Samsung appreciate your business, Have a great day!
Thank you,
Sayra|Samsung Ecommerce|855.726.8721|"
My reply wasn't very nice. Shipping status early December? When people are picking them up in stores now? And the highly publicized release date of the 18th.
After the Note fiasco, you'd think they would have been better prepared for upcoming releases of whatever device it may be.

Just picked up mine from at&t. They only had one and only the supply person new they had it. Just hooked it up to my lg v20. Everything seems to work as advertised. I do use the at&t service called numbersync so it does receive calls and texts from my lg v20's phone number.

My local BB price matched the Samsung.com black Friday deal

AT&T Pre-order and Shipping Room

I took advantage of the BOGO offer. Adding an additional line to get the free phone and will cancel my current line when the phone comes. My wife's will stay active. Don't care about losing my phone number.
Got Orchid Grey for my wife and Arctic Silver for me.
PS, I think today is the last day for the BOGO. The rumors I've heard is any future BOGO offers will require TV service through AT&T.

Wait so do I have to pay anything monthly for the free phone

You will see the regular Next Plan price for your phone on the bill, but will also see a credit for the same amount. The credits start after 3 months, but will be backdated to when you get the phone. If you cancel that line or upgrade the phone before the Next Plan is finished, you will lose the rest of the credits.

Damn, I wished I saw this before I pre-ordered my phone because I did order it before the 1st. I tried to go to Best Buy earlier today (April 2nd), and you do need to have DIRECTV to get the BOGO offer now for the S8 & S8+.

Pre-ordered the S8 in Arctic Silver... now we wait!

Pre-ordered in Black in store.
Tehy told me i should have it on the 19th or 20th Cant Wait.

Oh no, I hope mine doesn't say that! It still says in progress.
Delivery by date: April 21st

My Current Status
Order date: 03/30/2017 at 7:40:00 p.m. ET
Order status: Preparing to ship
We're getting your order ready to ship.
Estimated ship dates: April 19, 2017 - April 20, 2017

Verizon S9+

Anyone else preorder from Verizon? Anyone have any idea when they're shipping? Mine says on the 16th, which would be way later than every other carrier. Sucks because my HTC 10 is dying and I need a new phone pretty quick, being attached to a charger all the time blows.

Update: cc ran on Friday and got tracking Saturday. FedEx overnight showing delivery tomorrow Monday.
I pre ordered on the 2nd was told by the rep that if I signed up for the Verizon up program that the phone would ship earlier. I checked the status today and it has a 3/12 ship by date.

Delivery on Monday.

I did receive Friday (08/03), pre-order on 26/02
Verizon Ireland

Preordered both my Verizon s9+ and s9 from Best Buy on 3/2. They took the money Friday but the order still shows processing with an estimated delivery date of 3/16... No updates yet...

Mine says it shipped today and FedEx says it was actually picked up as well, expected delivery Wednesday

Mine shipped Friday, FedEx has Monday delivery before 5.

Best Buy will be Friday the 16th for any orders. Just a FYI from what I've been seeing. Unless your store breaks corporate policy and will allow you to get them early.

I reserved the past two galaxies (s7 and s8) from best buy and all received them exactly 4 days early. and that was store pickup also. so crossing my fingers it will be the same for the s9+

Least the stores I've been too that's what has been told to me. Maybe the peeps at my place are little more... strict with the timelines.
With shipping might get a day or so earlier but sadly I wouldn't expect unless you get a confirmation 1-2 days out.

That's what I've heard so was expecting that myself when I did the pre-order then found out after the main crazy calmed down that Friday would be the day :/ I mean great, least I'll have it for the weekend, sucks because was expecting it hopefully as early as tomorrow (Wednesday). So eager since I should of never given up my "personal mobile" 4-5 years ago (forgot which) and eager to get it back, let alone be back on android.
Don't get me wrong I want it earlier and hope it does and Best Buy isn't being a stickler for the street date of the 16th. I'd do it early so there isn't a potentially larger then necessary crowd trying to get their phones all on the same day (walkin's vs pre-orders) , but hey I'm just a customer and what would I know about logistics.

Best buy just charged me. So hopefully that means they got stock and will be releasing them soon.
