Buying at store and canceling pre-order from 2/9

Has anyone done this...
Pre-ordered on the 9th..Got emailed that they were shipping before the 18th...was very disappointed that they could have gone to store today to get one, so...  Went to store and with new phone in hand, had the store cancel the pre-order and then bought the new one and used the upgrade discount?  Anyone??

There was no lines at the verizon I went to either. I expected it to be horrible but they were dead slow. I asked the lady who waited on me about what was going on and she said they had 15 waiting on them this morning when they got there and after that it had been slow ever since. They appeared to have all their employees working and no one was doing anything except just kind of playing around they even had 2 standing at the door opening it for people it was so slow. They did not get the turn out they expected that's for sure. And I would be surprised if the stores sell out anytime soon. I know the one I was at (I got a 32 gig and 16 gig) and they said they still had plenty.

  • I want to initialize my MBpro end reinstall lino, but I purchased it from apple store and cancelled the installation file. If i try to download again it from appstore I couldn't...How I can do ? Please help me

    Thanks for the feedback. Now, before installing in, put a copy some place safe and you won't have to download it again, wasting bandwidth, time, and electricity. Why? Because the installer blows itself away during the installation—IMO, a braindead delivery system, copied from their iOS world, but totally unsuitable for computers.

  • Will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store?

    will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?

    Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US?  That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
    You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none.  The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
    The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim.  If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this.  If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
    Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
    So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.

  • Canceling pre order Question...

    Do you have to cancel pre order in person or can you also do it by phone? I want to go to Apple tomorrow annd call Best Buy to cancel right before I active my new phone from Apple store.  I don't have the pre order info in front of me and didn't know if there was fine print?

    Do it in-store. Even if the phone rep could cancel the pre-order, they could not refund the $50 gift card.

  • HT5714 Is there another way to cancel pre-orders beside going on the computer? Every time I click on manage pre-orders it says I have an error.

    Is there another way to cancel pre-orders beside on the computer? Every time I click on Manage Pre-Orders, it always say I have an error...

    You've tried closing and re-opening iTunes and/or rebooted your computer and you have the latest version of iTunes installed ?
    If you have then you could try contacting iTunes Support and ask them to remove the pre-order from your account : 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

  • When Do I Get My Money Back For A Cancelled Pre-Order?

    I Just Cancelled My Pre-Order. I Just Looked In My Account And It Said I Still Had The Same Amount Of Money. So I Was Wondering When I Get My Money Back For A Cancelled Pre-Order?

    There is nothing to refund, you weren't charged when you pre-ordered it, you would only have been charged when it was released

  • 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 change pre-orders from In-Store Pickup to Ship-to-Home?

    Right out of the gates, I know I'm far from the first person to have concerns about amiibos and pre-orders associated with them.
    I have all of wave 3 as well as the Best Buy exclusive Meta-Knight preordered for In-Store Pickup, but my Wave 2 preorders have been extremely hit or miss thus far. My Little Mac never showed up in store, and when the CS representative there offered to have one shipped to me, it was cancelled. My Pit never showed up, and I was never even given a chance for a contingency. I had just missed out on it entirely.
    My friends who pre-ordered with Ship-to-Home have had little to no issue, so if possible, I would like to change my preorders to be handled that way.
    Overall, and like many others, I'm very disappointed with Best Buy's In-Store Pickup option. As a result, I find myself backing up pre-orders with other retailers. I'm not wild about the concept of preordering with Best Buy being such a gamble. If there's any way to shift me over to Best Buy's more reliable Ship-to-Home option, I would very much like to do it.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    Hi there ActionKazimer, 
    The amiibo figures are wildly popular! I can understand why you would be concerned with your store pickup pre-order if you haven't had the best of luck with your previous ones, which I am deeply sorry to hear about. 
    Sadly, as the amiibos are currently sold out online, we would be unable to modify your order for shipping to your home. With that said, at this time your best bet would be to keep the pre-orders as they are. I apologize if this was not the response you were hoping for when you reached out to us on the forum. 
    Please let me know if you have any other questions! 
    Sincerely,

  • 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.

  • 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! :-)

  • Change pre-order from SHIPPING to IN-STORE PICK-UP

    Hello,
    This past Sunday, 11/9/14, I placed a pre-order for Super Smash Bros. Wii U to be shipped to my home, but I would now like to pick the game up at a local Best Buy instead -- specifically, the Cambridge, MA location (Store #537).
    I spent 30+ minutes on the phone with three reps earlier today trying to do this and none of them were of any help, but I've found previous posts on the support forum wherein users had the same request granted (for example: http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming-Support/Would-like-to-switch-preorder-games-from-shipping-to-in-...). Since the order has not been prepared yet (the game isn't out for another week or so), I'm hoping that this is still a possibility.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello dwkwd,
    Depending on the status of the order and the availability of the item wanted, there are times when we may make modifications to an online purchase, so I’m glad to hear that our email support team was able to honor your request and change your order for in-store pick up.  If you have any further questions though, please feel free to let me know. I’ll be glad to help.
    Enjoy your new game!

  • Reserved for Store Pickup, No pre-order and Ship to Store!

    I'm reading all these discussions and my head is exploding. I was up @ 4am yesterday banging away like you all.
    My criteria was this; I was eligible for upgrade @ $199 with the activation fee waived (sweet). I wanted to pick the phone up at my Apple store because I trust it more then brown.
    When I clicked the pre-order link, there was NO option to have it sent to the store, it could only be sent to my house. Let me repeat that, NO option to send anywhere but house. It even says it "Pre-order your iPhone 4 from the Apple Online Store and we’ll ship it free — directly to your door and ready to use."
    So I went to the reserve in store process. There was NO WAY TO PAY for it up front. Let me repeat that; NO WAY TO PAY for the reserved phone. So I received my confirmation email and said there is a phone waiting for me on the 24th!
    I called 2 Apple stores and chatted online with 3 Apple support people and they ALL, every single 1 of them, said the same exact thing. The only way to pickup in the store is to go through the reservation process. The store will have 2 lines, reserved and general. The reserved will be there all day for you to pick up.
    So, does anyone have some proof that you pre-ordered it, paid for it and have it sent to your Apple store, not your home to pick up?

    I got to the page state,"iPhone is reserved for pickup." Please bring government issued ID, debit or credit card...... No email received. Do I really have one on hold????
    This time for this phone things are very confusing. I preordered yesterday for in store pickup got through the verification process saw that all my data and cell plan info were correct. Then at the end I got the message "see you at the store". Bring picture id. Nothing else, no confirming email as of today, nothing showing under my account in the on line store. I just came from the store that I picked for my phone to go to and there is nothing in their system either. So I went down to the AT&T store in that mall and preordered it there, no issues. It's just as well since I'm ordering it under my wife's number to get the discount and would have to go there any way to make the switch. I've read other posts from people that saw the same thing on line that I did when they ordered, "see you at the store" but no other confirmation. I'm going to assume that it means the order did not go through. So keep that in mind if you got what I did.

  • 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.
