Should i cancel my pre-order and buy one at a store

I pre-ordered a red ipod touch 32gb 5th generation ipod on october 4th, people are saying that you can buy them in some stores. im wondering if i can get it at a store why would i pre-order it, the whole point of pre-ordering in the first place was to be able to get it first. what do you guys think? also do they come in red if you go to the store to buy it?

I recently asked the same question and I was told
"no the pre order will still get to you earlier than the in stores, as is the case with apple and thats how thyve always done it with every generation"
"no, people called in apple and they said that if you ordered on oct. 1st.. its still a preorder."

  • I canceled a pre-order and now my reward certificat​e isn't showing up?

    I pre-ordered Destiny for the Xbox One and canceled my order. I paid partially via credit card and the rest with a $15 reward certificate. It's not showing up on mybestbuy.com now, was my reward certificate voided when I canceled???

    Hi plus1zero,
    It looks like you cancelled your pre-order today, so you should see the certificates point value ($15 = 750 points) repost to your My Best Buy™ account within 3 to 6 business days.  If you do not see those 750 points repost to your account by 9/8/2014, then please send me a private message and I will make sure they are added.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button within my signature.

  • Can I cancel my online order and buy my MacBook at a store?

    Hi. I recently ordered a MacBook with 4GB of RAM online. I have some free time tomorrow and would rather cancel the online order (which has not yet shipped) and go to the Apple store 45mins from me and buy it there. I have some questions:
    1. Can you buy the 4GB RAM MacBook in the store, or is it online only?
    2. Can I use the financing card (Baraclay, I think?) to purchase the MacBook in person even if I do not have a physical copy? If so, how?
    3. How long will it take to erase the credit charge on the financing card if I do cancel my order?
    Thanks.

    I'd much prefer to have correct answers in threads so I decided to do some detective work for you. I decided to make two phone calls this morning, one to the "manager on the floor" at an Apple Retail Store and the other to the Apple Online Store Sales & Support group. Both people I spoke with were aware of my intentions on the phone call and that I would be quoting them in this thread.
    If I buy a computer online, can I return/exchange it at the store?
    It depends. If the machine is a standard configuration (has a part number that starts with MBxxx/A) and is not damaged, then yes we can accept it as a return/exchange in store. If it has a customer configuration (has a part number that stars with Zxxx) then no, we are unable to offer an exchange/refund at the store for that unit. If it is DOA we can coordinate a service/replacement with AppleCare.
    Can I upgraded to 4GB of RAM in-store?
    Absolutely, we stock RAM specifically for this upgrade and charge the same price as online. You're responsible to buy the computer and the RAM upgrade first and then we will install it for you.
    Can I use the Barclay's card, even if I don't have it my possession?
    Unfortunately not, we must have the physical card in order to verify the legitimacy of the transaction.
    Are all sales final? (I asked anyways, despite the link provided was for an iTunes purchase and we're talking about MacBooks)
    Absolutely not, you have 14-days to return/exchange the product if you're not satisfied. Best part, we don't charge a restocking fee anymore.
    When does Apple bill my credit card? (phone call into AOS)
    We bill the card when the unit ships. However, the order must be cancelled prior to its status being changed into "prepared for shipment" as this means we've already allocated the part for shipment and at which point it cannot be cancelled.
    Hopefully that clears things up. I figured not much had changed since I use to work for Apple, but rather than being smug about it I wanted to hear it "from the staff at the Apple Store." As with anything you read on the Internet, take it for what it's worth.

  • I pre-ordered an album, but then bought it and downloaded it before it was available on iTunes. Is there a way to cancel the pre-order and get my money back?

    please help me!

    Probably not; the terms of sale for the iTunes Store say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask.

  • Cancel pre-order to buy in store?

    Right now, I have a pre-order for the iPhone 4 through apple that has a ship by date of July 14th. If one of my local stores gets a phone in stock before then, will I be able to cancel my pre-order and be eligible for upgrade in the store? OR, can I go in and buy it for the upgrade discount price without canceling the pre-order online, as not to loose my place if I don't get one in the store, then just cancel it online when I get home?
    Thanks in advance!
    p.s. - sorry if this is the wrong place to post in!

    I did just that this morning.
    Walked out of an AT&T store with an iPhone 4 in hand,
    got the early upgrade discount too.
    I then canceled the online order with the Apple store
    (also July 14 ship date) afterwards.
    No problems!

  • Can I cancel my iPhone 6 plus pre order and still keep my upgrade?

    We pre ordered the phone on 2 month contract upgrade, but now we want to cancel the pre order. The phone still hasn't shipped yet, it's supposed to ship out by the end of the month, so can we cancel the pre order and still keep the upgrade for a different phone?

        ba1696,
    Ordering a new phone and being able to purchase one at any time is certainly exciting. If you purchase a new phone and have not received it,you most certainly can cancel the order and keep your uprgade date the same. Was there any particular reason you were wanting to cancel the order for the iPhone 6? Was the order placed online or over the phone? We have all of the options available for you.

  • After canceling a pre-order from iTunes I don't have the money credit back

    I recently pre-ordered an album from iTunes on my iPod Touch. (gift card)
    After about a week I decided that I'd rather get the actual physical disk from the store once it's released, so I canceled the pre-order and  I was told by the iTunes store that I would get the credit back after a cancellation, but to my surprise I haven't gotten the credit back. It's already been a day since the cancellation and I haven't gotten anything back, not even an email from iTunes witch I always get after every transaction.
    Please help me out, Thanks! :-)

  • Album wont download after i pre ordered and paid.

    I pre ordered the album Salute by Little Mix and it came out today and it says purchased but it still wont download. I have money in my account so I have no clue why it wont download.

    Hello, Rachel. 
    I have experienced this exact same issue for a Pre-order album as well.  I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged.  This article will walk you though the process.

  • When pre-ordering an album fron the iTunes Store on either my macbook or iPhone musy I pay up front or when it arrives?

    The Pre-Ordered Album has arrived in my iPhone 'Downloads' but will not download/install. I just now tapped Store in Settings on the iPhone in question set it to auto download music, apps and books which as it happens was turned off. Ok.
    So how do I get the pre-orederd download/installed? And are Pre-orders paid for when you order them or when you receive them?
    The Pre-Ordered Bob Dylan: Live at Bonnie Beecher's Apartment is sitting in iTune>More>Downloads but won't budge when I tap it.  It isn't showing in 'Purchases' either and I can not confirm from receipts if it was paid for when ordered becauseI threw the first few Apps and iTunes electronic receipts in the trash. I stopped doing that long ago and have been saving them since then on my mac and in mail folders.

    Hi, andersonl40.
    I had the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well.  I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as you mentioned it has not been charged.  This article will walk you though the process.

  • Canceled Pre-Order and Pre-Order again

    You've tried closing and re-opening iTunes and seeing if you can then pre-order it ? And/or logging out of your account and then loggin back in ?

  • Cancelled pre-order and walked into AT&T and got phone

    Today, I cancelled my pre-order for my iPhone 4s 64gb AT&T black model.  I was then able to walk into an AT&T store and pick up the exact same model (5 days after the original shipment).
    The number one reason is because I do believe there is a lack of communication and openness about what is going.  I'm an silver reward member and spend a lot of money with best buy but stuff like this makes me want to reconsider where I send my money.
    IMHO, what I think happened is that they had a glitch or something on the 64gb model sku and didn't properly get their order in with Apple.  Which is why they didn't receive ANY.   It doesn't make any sense that AT&T has a surplus of the model and Best Buy had NONE in the exact same city.
    Based upon that, I think they are now going to have to wait for the "second round" of phone shipments and my guess that is 4-6 weeks out.
    I also don't buy they don't know when they will get them.  Actually, they do know (or can find out).  They can call Apple up and say when is my next shipment supposed to be in (just like I'm asking best buy).   Apple (or whoever is the ultimate supplier) would have to be able to supply Best Buy with the info they need to inform their customers.  That's why I think it's the more likely case that they screwed up their order with Apple on the 64gb models and didn't get it in properly (or on time).  Or worse yet, they aren't actively calling Apple up and asking for shipment dates and order dates.

    We are picking ours up from Apple today.  Ours were the 16g white and 32g black, #1 and #2 preorders for Verizon phones.  They supposedly got a shipment yesterday but we didn't get an email once they were scanned. They are not that rare. My guess is they didn't get any for Verizon (just like Sprint).
    I agree with the lack of communication.  I'd wait it our if they told the truth and even through in an extra set of earbuds or something.  Geez, we're silver members too (my husband wanted to get teh points from this sale). Oh well, ,hopefully they will learn from this experience.

  • Ordered a pre-order and got charged still when cancelled pre-order

    I pre-ordered the new example album of "Live Life Living" but then cancelled the pre-order but yet I have been charged 99p for one of the songs off the album and I want to know why?

    Hello, ChrisJets. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This can happen if an song in a pre-order album is released before the full album is released.  Here is some more information regarding pre-orders. 
    Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.

  • Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

    So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate. 
    I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.
    Promo Link
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi JBROWN52,
    Congratulations on securing a copy of the Limited Edition of Destiny!
    I wanted to jump in and reiterate what enuf has said. The $10 Reward Certificate bonus should be credited to your My Best Buy account within 20 days after you receive your copy of Destiny, whether it be picked up in-store or shipped to you. If for any reason you don’t see the points after this time has elapsed, please create a post letting us know and we’ll be more than happy to help out.
    Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy.

  • Do i get my money back after i cancel a pre order

    So i pre ordered the Linkin Park album The Hunting Party, and when I did it, two songs were automatically downloaded to my library, but then more songs were released and they didn't download to my library even though they were already available. I did some digging up on the internet and someone told me that an email was sent to my email adrees noticing me that the song from the album I preordered was already available and ready to download to my library, but once I entered my email there was no mail that said that, so I  cancelled the pre order thinking that if i preorder it again I would get the songs, but to my surprise the money I spent on the album was not given back to me even though i cancelled the Pre Order. Is there a way to get it back or am I screwed? Alos if there is a way can somebody tell me please?

    Do they show as purchased in the store and do they show on your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    The HT5714 page that I linked to includes :
    Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.
    You can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
