Apple canceled my iPad pre-order

I pre-ordered my new iPad on Thursday, March 8th (32GB White, WiFi-only), and today received an email (below) stating that the order had been cancelled. I called Apple Support to inquire about the reason and the agent, while helpful, was completely baffled by the cancellation as well. He offered to resubmit my order, but now that the pre-order stock has been exhausted, I will not receive my iPad on the 16th as originally promised.
This is certainly disappointing coming from Apple, a company which ordinarily is outstanding in customer support. I'm still looking foward to receiving my new iPad, but it is a shame that an error on Apple's part means that I will have to wait an extra week for their mistake.
Has anyone else received unexpected notifications of canceled orders?
Dear Apple Customer,

  • IPad Pre-order

    With the iPad being released for pre-order tomorrow for UK and other international countries, I was wondering what the pre-order process consists of?
    - Will the pre-order go live tonight at midnight?
    - You pre-order from the Apple Online Store right?
    - If you pre-order are you 100% guranteed of getting an iPad on May 28th?
    - Can you pre-order iPad accessories along with your order?
    - Will the iPad be delivered or do you have to collect from store?
    - If delivered, will it definatly be here for May 28th, is there a chance of getting it earlier?
    Sorry for all the questions, never pre-ordered from Apple before and I really want to get my hands on one of these!
    Thanks a lot guys!

    1. We don't know what time the Pre-order service will go live, but I suspect it will not be midnight.
    2. You can pre-order from the Apple Store online or you can call Apple at 0800 048 0408. Try calling them as soon as you can on Monday.
    3. If you pre-order you will get an estimated delivery date, they will not guarantee 100% any delivery date.
    4. Yes you can pre-order accessories.
    5. The iPad will be delivered usually. You may be able to collect from a store, but we will not know that until the pre-order process is available.
    6. If delivered will not arrive before the 28th May, nor will you be able to collect from stores before the 28th. There is also no guarantee that your delivery will arrive on the 28th, that all depends on when Apple actually ship to you (they may run out of stock), delivery problems (ash cloud), delivery company, etc. You will be able to track the progress of the delivery online once it ships.

  • When are Apple Watches available for pre-order within the UK? Time specific?

    Hey guys,
    I was just wondering if the Apple Watch will be available to pre order from 12am 10th April? Or can I sleep soundly until the morning before I can?
    Also, I put this thread in the iPhone accessories community, as there isn't an Apple Watch one at the moment.

    I have seen the UK servers go live at the time published ,local time not adjusted  in the past
    You may want to check c 12:00 Am if that is the Time Apple are quoting

  • All I did was ask a question via email, and a customer service rep cancelled my entire pre-order

    So the other day I emailed bestbuy.ca customer service to ask them a question related to my E3 pre-order. Included in the order was a Ps4 Nyko Type Pad, and I asked if it is possible to cancel this single item in the order, and if it was, to do so. 
    Key to note that included among this E3 pre-order was a PS4 Fall-Out 4: Pip-boy edition, which is now sold out across North America. 
    The customer service rep took it upon himself to play trial and error with this order instead of actually knowing what he was doing and ended up cancelling the entire order and losing me my Pip-Boy Edition. 
    I have been emailing endlessly trying to explain how this is a bigger mistake than they are making it seem and have only gotten responses asking me to do something about it, not Bestbuy fix their mistake.. absolutely terrible customer service. 
    This was the question I asked (a), and the initial response I received (b).
    (a) my initial question
    Is it possible to cancel only one item of this pre-order? I would like to cancel the Nyko Type Pad if possible, but not any of the other items.
    (b) First bestbuy.ca response
    Dear ______,
    Thank you for contacting Best Buy Canada regarding Order #

    Further emails have only received predictable copy and paste responses, explaining that Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition is out of stock, and to check local stores. Completely ignoring the issue I was raising. 
    My second email
    This is absolutely in excusable and needs to be fixed on your end.
    One of the items in the pre-order that you cancelled has been sold out online almost since it was made available (Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4). Now that you have cancelled the order I have no way of receiving this item. It is sold out in every location. How is this going to be fixed?
    Second bestbuy.ca response
    Dear ____,
    We have received your email regarding the stock availability of Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4 on Bestbuy.ca.
    Our website does show this product as ‘Sold Out’.  It is possible that we will receive more stock of this item however we are not sure when as there are no pending purchase orders through the vendor.  As such, we are unable to provide any details as to when we may have stock available for online purchasing.
    Our online inventory is pulled from different inventory than your local store, so provided the item is not a web only item, they may have available stock.  Try using the store stock check (on the Product Detail Page) to view stock availability or contact your local store directly.
    Thank you for choosing Bestbuy.ca
    Sincerely,
    .TA
    Bestbuy.ca
    Great reading comprehension. The email wasnt about the availability of the game, the email was about the mistake made by a customer service rep. And no, no more stock is being made available, as Bethesda has said so. Just a terrible, terrible case of customer service.
    Consider me, a lost, long-time, customer. 

    Very sorry to hear about this ! 
    If you haven't had a resolution to this matter over the weekend, please send me a private message with your order number and contact details. I'd be happy to escalate to our Customer Experience team here. 
    Best, 

  • Apple should honor BB pre-orders

    Here's an idea:
    A number of websites are reporting that Apple plans to have iPhone 4s in stock tomorrow for walk-ins. It seems likely that Apple shorted Best Buy in many instances (my local store in Arlington, VA was supposed to get 90 and now is getting only 15 or so). I think Apple should allow customers from Best Buy with pre-orders to go to an Apple Store instead and get their phones that way. Seems only fair. What's everyone think?  

    The truth is that most pre-order will be filled tomorrow.  So, most of you that were unfortunately promised getting it on the 24th, will probably get it on the 24th.  Unless you ordered a white one, in that case you will still get it before others because your pre-order is still valid.
    Thanks,

  • Apple cancelled my iphoto book order....I can not contact them

    I placed an order for an iphoto book 2 days ago. Yesterday I could log online and see my order status (it was set to printing). Today there is no record of my order, and I am quite worried. Any ideas of why this might have happened or if there is anyone to contact other than "[email protected]". I ordered another iphoto book 2 weeks ago and had no problem with that order. Please help!!!!!

    Sully,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If you click on the entire iPhoto category of discussions, http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=143 there is a category announcement (look in the right column) regarding the print services being temporarily unavailable today from 10:00 a.m. PT - 12:15 p.m. PT.
    Perhaps you are not able to see your order status during this down time. Wait for this time to pass, then see if you can access your order's information.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I cancel online pre-orders?

    I am trying to cancel an online order that I made recently, it is a pre-order for a game that releases in September and for some reason it gives me the option to cancel, but i am not allowed to check mark it. Is there any reason why I am not allowed to cancel a pre-order?  I pre-order things right away just in case I want them but I do end up canceling some of them.  This is the second time now I have had to send an e-mail out to [email protected] to cancel a pre-order. The first time they took care of it the same day and told me sorry for the glitch in the system as everyone is always able to cancel pre-orders.  However, this time it has taken over 2 days and I still haven't received a response.  I also know I am not the only one with the cancellation problem as i have a friend that shops at bestbuy.com and he also can't cancel the same pre-orders.   

    Hey wbaez86,
    Thanks for the update! Glad to hear our e-mail support team was able to help you find a resolution.
    We're looking into why this feature hasn't been appearing for all customers, but don't have any specific details at this time. We'll make sure to update related threads as soon as additional info is available though.

  • Will I be able to pre-order the iPhone 6  on finance with Apple?

    I was wondering if Apple allow you to pre-order new products on finance?
    (If people know from previous experiences)
    I am from the UK btw.

    We don't know as we are fellow users like you. Talk to your carrier or go to apple.com, or to an Apple Store.

  • Pre-order Cancelation Fee

    Is there a cancelation fee on pre-ordering games online? I know I am not charged for the game until I pick it up in store, so I know I don't have to worry about doing a return. Just a curiousity question. Thanks!

    Hi there stoichiometry, 
    Pre-ordering a game is a fantastic way to help ensure you receive it on release day. I'm sorry that you may be looking at canceling a pre-order. That being said, I'm glad to say we don't currently have any cancelation fees for canceling a pre-order. If you need assistance with a cancelation, please let me know and I would be delighted to assist you. 
    Sincerely, 

  • I pre ordered the mmlp2 but itunes won't download the songs that are available

    Like my title says i pre ordered the mmlp2 album, then itunes started to download the monster (single) and it stopped by that song it didnt download the other ones so i canceled my pre order re pre ordered it again and got the clean version (which i dont want but it went from my account) then i cancelled that and pre ordered again but thiis time the explicit version and itunes still wont download the other songs despite the monster please help me i almost used all my itunes money for nothing.

    Same happened to me when trying to pre order MMLP2. Only took 5 minutes to figure out. On your itunes store at the top of the screen where it says your username, or email for apple ID. Click it and your account information will pop up. One of the options was saying "you have 18 songs ready for download". Click that and they will start downloading. Easy fix, though auto download the second the album is released would make more sense.

  • HT5714 I pre ordered Childish Gambinos album and it came out today. i have tried everyhting and i stil have no clue how to download it

    I pre-ordered Childish Gambinos album and it came out today. I have tried everything and i cant find where to download it.

    Hi, aemery1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Pre-orders download on their own if automatic downloads are enabled.  However, sometimes you need to check for available downloads.  Make sure to check your iTunes library to see if the album is there.  I have experienced an issue a couple weeks ago for a Pre-order album not downloading and stating it was purchased.  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.
    iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
    Check your purchase history and you method of payment to make sure that the item has not been deducted prior to processing these steps.

  • Pre-ordered available song won't appear in purchased in iTunes?

    I pre-ordered One Direction's new album Four, and have received all of the available songs except one, which was the first to be released other than "Steal my Girl", titled "ready to run". It states that I have pre-ordered the song, but will not show up in purchased, even though I know it is available from looking at the album not signed into my account. When I sign in, it just states it was pre-ordered but has no options for download. How can I download it?

    Hi emster829, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you have preordered an album but the available songs haven't downloaded yet, try the steps mentioned in this article first:
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    If the available songs do not download, you may want to report an issue with your iTunes Store purchase:
    Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy
