How many of us pre-ordered with Best Buy and got back ordered? I ordered a 32g White on the 8th.
I pre-ordered from BB as soon as it was available (32GB W). Got an email notice yesterday the device has shipped (from OH). This morning the device is in Buffalo.
Due to arrive on Tuesday, per UPS tracking.
Same thing. Shipped from OH and coming on Wednesday. If my preorder back from the 8th went to back order status I would go find a store that has the model you want and talk to the store manager. That's not right (don't care what or how it happened) thats not good customer service and last time I checked the majority of the US economy is what?.......a service economy.
bummed
Now I am bummed I found them at a Best Buy close to me and I called to have it transferred to store so I can get it now but now it says order being fulfilled now and they cannot transfer now. They said I should get it Thursday or Friday so much for pre-order.
it's ridiculous how pre-order is to be shipped after the retail store have it in stock. i've always thought pre-order is to be shipped out so that the buyer would have it on the same day it's available to consumers.
cancelled pre-order, pick 1 up this morning. i'd be surprise if they sell much @ my local best buy, no ads or any indication they have it in stock. no display unit. most reps don't know they have it other than mobile department reps.
Gosh, that really sucks guys. I pre-ordered mine on Amazon, got annoyed with the delayed shipping (and decided to upgrade to a larger capacity), and ended up walking into my local Best Buy and picking one up.
Why can't these companies do a pre-order right. It shouldn't be that hard. You don't even have to guess at the demand! There is no reason that I should have been able to walk into the store and buy one when you guys are stilling waiting to receive your pre-order.
Yup.
There's just no reason to pre-order these things. You know there won't be a stampede to get them and the pre-orders are always handled in some funky manner.
Either do it the Apple way where pre-orders are literally delivered to peoples' doors the day the product is released or at least make it so that people can pick up their device in-store on that date.
Pre-order actually worked out OK for me. My local BB, while it had >60 of these devices on 17th, 100% of them were 16GB devices - I want a 32GB device. Who know when this BB store will get 32GB in inventory?
I'll have my device on Tuesday - soon enough, I suppose.
At least you had the option / appearance of a preorder... My two closest stores didn't do them. They did tell me they had a 32GB physically in hand today so I drove 35 miles only to find out they won't get them til tuesday... Hopefully.
Spent an hour today getting F'd in the A by BB. Nice letter heading to corporate today after talking with 2 douche managers. Tips? Ideas?

Here are a few that could help them:
-Ship preorders early so they arrive on Launch Day. If not possible due to various reasons, clearly indicate that on the preorder information.
-Allow people that preordered and are on backorder to pickup their preordered model in the store.
-Dont wait until customer opinion surveys reach rock bottom before attempting to fix the problem. High end electronics retailing should equal good customer service. I dont care that you might only have 5-10% margin, to the customer they are still paying on average more than other items.
- Have an equal or slighly smaller quantity of device accessories along with the tablet.
Dang I am so jealous I am still waiting for my pre-order. Thursday is suppose to be my day.
I pre ordered on the 8th. When I found out they wouldn't start shipping them out until the 17th, I canceled my order. I ended up going to my local BestBuy on the 17th to pick one up.

Lets start a thread for those of use who preordered through Best Buy (regrettably) and post when we preordered, color, location and when we received our notices that our device is ready for pick up.
PS. I got BB to tell me what position in line I am for my preorder, the customer service rep I spoke with talked with the store that I preordered from and she said I was either #4 or #6, she couldn't remember which one it was.
Obviously I haven't received mine yet but will post on here the second I do.

I preordered 10/15, black N4, Maryland. TBD when I receive the notification. But I called last night and she said mine is in the system and will be ready in store the 22nd. Although she said most likely it will processed the 22nd and than ready for pickup the next morning. My main concern was since I preorderd so late, would that effect when I could get my phone. Seems it won't be an issue. I did enroll in text message notifications too. I'm ready!
Wow, that is good news for you. Hopefully it is true.
I'm going to call my store this morning when they open and see if they have any new information. I need to ask about my email address I gave them too because I never received a confirmation email from when I ordered my phone which is weird because my wife did get a message.
Yeah I know. I never knew if when you had preordered mattered or not but seems not. I'm going to call again today to verify. Is your wife the primary line? I didn't get the confirmation either but realized my father is still the primary on our family plan so he received it. So that's why I told the women I spoke to to sign up me up for text alerts which will keep me updated on the status of my order.

No we both actually don't have service with Verizon yet. The plan was, when I received the phone to switch to Verizon.
Still got my fingers crossed that I will have it this week still but who knows....

Best buy
Westminister, CA
Will let you guys know when I get a notice
Local best buy knows nothing. They say they don't have inventory yet but they receive weekly shipments on thursday and it might (or might not) be on the truck. They have no clue what position I am on the wait list; they have no clue if they have an allotment. They have no clue when they will make the phone available if they do receive it. In fact calling the person I spoke to ... would be a good description.
I called my Best Buy last week and the guy told me I would be able to pick it up on the 24th. When I preordered the lady told me I would get an email the night before it's available. So I'm not expecting to hear anything until Thursday night.
I ordered the black one.

I'm kicking myself for switching my preorder to Best Buy. They still haven't sent a notification on a Sprint Note 4 a family member ordered.
If I find out I have to wait til 10/31, I'll be livid because I can't switch back to ordering it from Amazon. Also I need to purchase it through preorder to get that rebate--I'm paying full price for the phone.
This really is the worst handled launch of a phone.
I worked for Best Buy on and off over the years in their Mobile dept. The way it works is the district warehouse sends a predetermined number of product to each store based on sales rank for various products - regardless of the number of pre-orders the store may have received. For example, I pre-ordered a Black N4 from my local best buy the other day, and talking to my former co-worker she looked up the number of black N4s assigned to be delivered to our store. RSS showed 11 were ordered for our store, though the system does not say when they will arrive, or if they will all arrive at once. Best Buy employees have no ability to look up pre-order quantities so you cannot tell if of the 11 expected to the store one will be allotted to you. Pre-orders are filled in order of receipt, so the earlier you were to pre-order the more likely it is you'll get one the day/day after they receive them. Best Buy will get a truck on thursday morning (23rd) likely having the first round of N4s on it. So thursday they will process the delivery and you'll get a notification mid to late afternoon that they have your phone (if there were enough delivered to get to your name) You shouldnt get any notifications from best buy until the store you ordered from processes their received stock and your pre-order is filled in store and is awaiting pick-up.
Hope this helps.
Just got off the phone with a sales rep at my local BB where I preordered. He said he doesn't have any new information but they are expecting to receive Verizon note 4s in on Thursday and I should check back with them then. I'm going to keep calling every day to see when they actually get some in. Also, once we know that they are starting to get them in, it wouldn't hurt to call around to the other BBs in the area to see if they maybe got more in than the store you ordered from. It may be a long shot but if a store got like 20 of them in and only had 10 preorders, the remainder will be available to be sold. In that case, you can simply go that location and have your preorder fulfilled through that store. Again, probably a long shot but at this point, I just want the damn phone asap.
I'll keep everyone posted.
Well let see... When I was in store doing my pre-order with Gift Card on my BB credit card, I was promised the 17th as discussed in prior thread(s). I never actually believed this since various Best Buys deceived me so much on my qualified trade in being a Droid X. Even the original rep had got smart with me in the store I pre-ordered and rudely swung her monitor around showing my Droid X was listed in there system as a $0 value. She was correctly corrected by both a co-worker and manager of which I further had them write my trade in model and acceptance of trade upon picking up my pre-order when it arrives on paper.
As the 17th passed with no email or notification that my Note 4 was in store, I called and finally reached a different manager. He right away told me that there was a lawsuit of some sort between Verizon and Samsung or Best Buy - he really didn't give me much information regarding that other than Verizon had just sent them a letter around the 14th demanding they would not receive shipments until the day of the 23rd and be allowed to release them then. The manager also promised me that mine would be available as of that date and that even further, they would likely actually receive the shipment on the 21st or 22nd and start sending folks like me notifications of pickup ready for the 23rd.
That is where things stand at this point with me. Gee, I wonder what to expect next...
A few weeks ago I wanted to preorder the N4 but my best buy said they were done with verizon note 4 preorders. But than a couple weeks later, on 10/15. I went back into the store and I was able to preorder a N4. My question is, if I'm preordering the phone, that should mean that's one additional N4 my best buy needs to have shipped to it's store. It makes absolutely no sense that none of us shouldn't get our PREORDERED N4 on release day. That is the whole point of doing a preorder, or else why bother. Like I said in my previous post, BBM told me a date of the 22nd being in store, which they will process it than or that night, and be ready for pick up Thursday. I hope this remains true. I know I preordered very late, but I still a preorder. My thinking is that say my best buy originally was told they were getting I don't know, say 30 Verizon N4s. Well they got confirmation they could actually receive 40 so they opened preorders back up and that's when I got mine. I'm hoping this is the case at least.

Only time will tell. Hopefully they will start receiving the devices in the next day or so and have them available to us that preordered relatively early (Oct 3rd, in my case). That would be the best case scenario, worst case scenario is they only receive a couple devices of each color and this goes on for weeks until they fulfill all of the orders.
Fingers crossed, getting pretty anxious here

Basically the Pre-order guarentees the $200 working phone trade in offer, and that if there arn't enough phones on the first truck, on tuesday (usually the next delivery day for bby) you'll have guarenteed product. Verizon store is the same way if you go in and pre-order. It's basically just a hold to prevent someone from walking in and buying the N4 once they have one available. It's supposed to reduce people calling in and coming to store asking alll the time "Do you have this phone now?"
Unfortunately bby gets what Samsung sends them, then from there they send their pre-determined shipments out to the stores based on store sales statistics, not so much on pre-order demand.
Information regarding Verizon Note 4/ Best Buy:
I hope everyone is well. I work for Samsung inside of Best Buy, and I am also awaiting a note 4 via verizon. I can tell you in OUR circumstance, all intial orders tracked through RSS were pre-orders ONLY, and not all preorders will be met. We are currently getting in only 6 (4 black, 2 white) at my location. They are "on order", and are expected in later this afternoon or early tomorrow morning. They are available FOR sale prior to the 23rd, but more than likely, Best Buy will tell you that they are not or you won't know because your e-mail doesn't go out until late tomorrow night.
They are on there way and you should be receiving e-mails no later than tomorrow evening if you were the first couple of pre-orders per color. There will be a VERY limited amount, so for those pre-ordering late, my best wishes are with you.
I just wanted to give you a straight, no bs response unlike some of the things I've read/heard/ seen dished out from BB employees.
Best of luck and I hope you all get your phones soon!
Samsung guys in best buy work for Samsung, not best buy. They don't even have access to best buy sales systems. Besides asking a mobile sales rep for the incoming quantity that is shown in RSS there would be no further information except sales guidelines for when they are allowed to actually sell the device. Best buy has to abide by Samsung / Verizon's contract as to when they will sell their phone. Same thing for PS4 Xbox etc... Sell a product prior to the agreed release date and best buy can be sued for a ton of money loose rights to sell product etc

The interesting part is RSS has the street date listed as 10/17/14, so there is nothing prevent the sale. POS picks up the street date and will not allow sales ahead of the street date based from RSS. The only thing claiming 10/23/14 is a sheet of paper that is often wrong.

I was told I am number 4 or 6 (the BB rep that called me couldn't remember after contacting the store). You said that your store is only getting 6 in total. Do you think all stores are only going to get 6 in (or about that amount) or do you think that some stores may receive more/less?
I really hope I'm in the first wave of devices they receive.

I pre-ordered my graphite 128GB day 1 and still haven't received my phone. My initial delivery promise was Nov 2nd-3rd. I got the delay email with 25 credit, with new delivery date between Nov 7th through the 14th. It's now the 12th, and my phone is still sitting in the pending phase, which is exactly where it's sat from the day i ordered it. The 14th is a Saturday, and as far as i know, nobody's gotten there phones on a Saturday before, so that means my phone has to ship today to get here by there 2nd promised delivery date.
So my question is, has Google missed anybody's promised second delivery window yet? And if so, did they compensate you more on top of the 25.00 credit?
I didn't see the 25 credit
I have the exact same fact pattern as you. Down to the exact same second promised delivery window. Still pending as well. I'm in Detroit and I hear it's partially related to locale. I called today and spoke to a manager in the shipping department. She said the 64/128gb frosty is being pushed out as fast as they can. They ran into some delays (no s#*t!)
She expects those original orders that are still pending to go out next week. They won't do anything else for us as far as compensation goes. She said she could cancel my order if I didn't want to wait any longer.
When I heard last week about the delay, I ordered a 32gb graphite and received it the next day. So as far as I'm concerned, I don't mind waiting. I'm going to request an RMA on the final day for returning it. Hopefully by then the frosty will be here or on the way.

Yup, I'm exactly the same as well. This is beyond ridiculous. Never pre-ordering from Google again.
I ordered my 128G graphite on 9/30 and my friend ordered his 128G frost (it was the only one in stock) on 11/2. We both got our phone on 11/9. Go figure...
They have officially missed my 2nd promised delivery window, and my order is still stuck in the pending phase, where it has sat since i pre ordered day 1. Time to give Google yet another call. Last time i'll be pre ordering from them!

Update us with what you find out. I'm tired of calling.
I finally got my shipping confirmation tonight. When i talked to Google customer service earlier today, he told me i would have tracking info by tonight, and i actually just got it. I was a little skeptical when he told me that, but i'm happy i'll finally have my 6P tomorrow.
Who else ordered a VZW phone from best buy? either on contract, monthly, or full price?
I did full price and the site said it will be delivered on 3/11/16, release date. i had two CSR reps confirm this via both live chat, and email.
then, some reddit users are saying their reps saying it may not even ship UNTIL the 11th, meaning we may not get it until 5-7 days AFTER release date! this is absolutely ridiculous, so when I emailed back, they stated that yeah, it could either be there the 11th, or later. wtf? come on best buy. i've never pre-ordered from them before, but every other store gets you pre-orders ON release date.
i was going to do in store pickup instead of shipping, but apparently in store pickups aren't even guaranteed when you do a pre-order! you could get there and the s7 might not even be in stock!
man, i have elite status through best buy rewards too, so you'd think i'd get SOME kind of preferential treatment! hmm.
so share your stories!
I ordered full price. Ordered the first 7 minutes site went live on Feb 23. Curious if anyone else's preorder has changed status now that tmo, Sprint and att have shipped or are shipping.

Same here. Pre ordered on Feb 27th.
My credit card showed an authorization amount for my purchase for several days but Best Buy let it expire without billing. My order status still shows "awaiting authorization" as well. (I ordered on release day)
wtf. mine shows awaiting authorization all of a sudden. what the hell is best buy doing?!!?
so now there's TWO pending charges of the same amount on my account from best buy. one from the day i pre-ordered, and one from today. what's going on? why two charges?
they getting ready to ship?
Same I ordered 2 yr contact and says shipping March 11th but who knows. I hope I have it March 11th but doubt it.

best buy is calling people to pickup in store orders tomorrow..so they better ship it tomorrow!
mine is still as processing as well
so, i just talked to a rep on CS. he told me at first that i should have it by the 11th, then said, hold on, and checked into my status saying that it was requested to ship today, the 6th. he then said to just keep an eye out on the account to see if it ships.
oh and i just checked, the free SD card is updated to preparing for shipment, but the rest are still as pre ordered. he said they all have hte same status on his end though, so he thinks the site is just still updating. cool.

Noticed no one's started the US Preorder room yet so figured I would.
Preordered 128gb Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 3 direct from Samsung (educational discount) a few minutes after preorders opened up. Shows right now shipping on the 19th with estimated delivery of the 21st. This is the first time I haven't ordered through T-Mobile (RIP JOD).

U think they'll ship sooner?
Pre-ordered a 128GB Bronze from Tmobile, hopefully they ship early. I remember years ago they used to ship the week before.

With last years note samsung shipped out a few days before T-Mobile. My biggest reason for going direct to Samsung though is that I wanted the Galaxy Watch 3 and didn't want to wait for the phone to arrive before ordering the Watch 3 with the $200 discount.

I'm hoping they do lol the gf got me this phone for my birthday, and the arrival date is a day after.
yeah blah blah blah me too - ordered on day one like all of us impatient blokes and should ship on the 19th here in the US through fedex. the note 10+ shipped right along schedule as it was anticipated last year so hopefully the shutdown won't cause any MAJOR delay in shipping...
Black 512, game controller, and buds live ... unlocked also the first time I've bought a phone straight out, other than the nexus 6p lol
128 Bronze, Watch 3, Buds Live (both black) and a case. Nothing has shipped yet, seems on my invoice all will ship "by" 19th and est delivery on 21st.
Pre ordered my 512Gb black as soon as it was possible. Got a military discount of $108.75, not much but better than nothing. Didn't do a trade in, just paid for it all. About the 4th or 5th one I've ordered direct from Sammy, the others I ordered the T-Mobile variant but I got the unlocked one this time. Less bloat to get rid of and from what I've read it will have wifi calling and volte, only thing missing is video calling and I always disable it via adb anyway. Hopefully will ship before the 19th, don't know but fingers crossed.
128 bronze through TMobile. I have the galaxy buds plus. Thinking about the live. They seem more comfortable I guess. Also does anyone know if you can use an Xbox controller on the note for gamepass? Probably a silly question since you can use it on iOS for apple arcade.

I ordered Verizon Note 20 Ultra 128 GB Mystic White and used my credit on the White Bud lives. Phone and buds have a ship date of Aug 19 but my email states phone will arrive on Aug 21 and buds on Aug 24.. Not sure why that is when both items are on the same invoice and I ordered the day before pre-order opened because of my reservation
Same boat as alphamega. Ordered the verizon N20U, 128gb, bronze, through samsung the day before official release. Shop App says everything is shipping by the 19th, but online it says the phone gets here on the 21st, and the case and buds/uv/charger get here on the 24th. Who knows, I'd guess it'll all change by the time things start moving from warehouses.
Ordered 128gb white with buds live and a case. I wanted to wait to see the watch 3 review before ordering, I will trade in my gear s3 to get $100 off.

This is the first time I also order through Samsung. The JOD plan was asking too much as a down. I did it for the Note 10+ but no way I'm going to do a $550 down payment on it. Like some have said, hopefully we don't see any shipping delays.

Unfortunately, jod does ask for large down payments for new devices. I guess that's what happens the more expensive these things get

Pre ordered through AT&T website with $1000 off with iPhone 7 trade in with upgrade promo. Note 20 ultra 512gb mystic black. And i ordered the watch 3 black 45mm. Let’s hope the phones ship early.

I ordered bronze 128gb with the galaxy buds. Would have ordered different accessories, but it looked like it was charging an extra $50 for them. Got an email later saying they would credit me the $50 but it’s too late to change the order now. Bought from Sammy nearly every year. Note 7 I think shipped a week early. Wish that was the case this time around. Using my daughter’s crappy old iPhone since my son lost his phone a couple of weeks ago. Kids...

I have a friend who has been working there for a while and they feel it's a way to get people off the plans as they can just increase the monthly payment for it. The program was not really sustainable but it was a way to bring customers in. At one point, they had told their reps not to offer the JOD plans unless the customers asked for it. But I knew from the beginning it wasn't going to last.
