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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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."

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Unable to cancel pre-orders...

    I have been trying for the last week to cancel a few PS4 games I pre-ordered.  I keep getting a "system unavailable, try again later" message, I would think if there was an error in the system it would be fixed after a full week but I still continue to be unable to process the cancellation.  I have cleared browser, logged out and back in, and obviously been trying again to no avail.  Hoping one of you fine CSR's will be able to help me resolve this and cancel all the games I have ordered.  

    Hi dansempai,
    First, I hope you’ve been enjoying your PS4! I’ve been a long time Sony fan as far as consoles go, and thus far the PS4 looks to be pretty stellar; I’m sure it’ll only get better. I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues cancelling your preorders. It sounds like you’ve done your due diligence in determining if the issue was on your end, and I’ll happily assist where I can.
    Depending on how you preordered the games will determine the best route for cancelling them. If you preordered the games in store, you would simply take your receipt back to the store for a refund on the preorder amount you put down. This will effectively cancel the preorder. If you preordered on BestBuy.com, and chose store pick-up as the fulfillment option, the preorder will automatically cancel itself after it arrives at the store and remains there for eight days. However, if you preordered online, and the games have not yet released, that would require some action on my part.
    With that said, I’ve pulled up a list of recent orders using your email address on file for the forum. From what I can see, mostly all of the orders have shipped and invoiced. If you have any BestBuy.com preorders that still need attention, please send me a private message with the order numbers. To send me a private message, simply click the link in my signature.
    I hope this helps out! Please feel free to reach out to me via private message if you need any further assistance.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Canceled pre-order issue

    I canceled a pre-order ablum but when I went back to the store the ablum still says that I have it pre-ordred even though my account does not show it anymore. Does it take time to clear out ?

    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 ?

  • Pre-order iphone 4 Apple Store UK

    Hi,
    Some questions over the pre-ordering of the iPhone4, my contract runs out in December this year, o2 say I can upgrade early and pay £100.
    Does anyone know that if I will be able to pre-order my upgrade through the Apple Store (UK), then collect at my local store.

    Him just thought i should inform you that I already have an orange contract...and as I already have a a contract and a number i was also going to buy the new iphone 4 pay as you go...then ring up and transfer my existing number over to the new iphone...ONLY to find out apple are playing really clever this time...and then new micro sim you either have to have as a brand new contract or a brand new pay as you go sim...now this isn't great for pay as you as you will know from previous pay as you go tariffs that you will get a years free internet and then thats bout it....they WILL NOT let transfer any existing orange or other network numbers over to the new iphone 4 as its a micro sim...its probably true that it is physically possible but this is the way Apple are getting you to buy more contracts......
    p.s. does anyone know when this pre-ordering starts..is it 12:01 of the 15th or 9am???

  • Pre-order points missing and pre-ordering problems at the store level.

    Hi
    During the week of July 6th-July 12 there was an ad for pre-ordering certain movies and getting 100 bonus points for each movie.  On July 12th I pre ordered Rio 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Transformers:AOE (Steelbook edition).  The employee was able to successfully pre-order Rio 2 using the provided in store pre order card but had difficultly pre ordering Spiderman 2 and Transformers.  Rio 2 and Spiderman 2 had set release dates while at that time Transformers did NOT have a release date until recently.  These pre-orders were done in three different transactions. 
    Picking up Rio 2 on 7/15 was not a problem.  The employee did an exchange in the system.  The 100 bonus points never posted.
    The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a lot of problems.  The employee thought I already bought it and picked it up on 7/12 when I went to pick it up on 8/19 (the release date).  At the time of the pre order purchase, there was no announcement of the BB exclusive Magno pack for the same price as the regular blu ray release.  Again the employee did a return/rebuy.  This employee also stated that the employee who processed the pre-orders Spiderman and Transformers did it incorrectly since it looks like she did it as a normal transaction instead of a pre-order.  The points have yet to be posted.
    Transformers: AOE (Steelbook edition) now has an official release date of 9/30.  My question is will the system allow for employee to process the pre-order pick up since it is outside of the 45 day window?  I am hoping it won't be but seeing how the employees have been processing pre-orders incorrectly when picking them up I expect problems when doing so. 
    I have also noticed a price drop for transformers (6760435) from the time I pre-ordered it on 7/12.  Will the employees be able to adjust the price and give me the difference?
    Not all stores carry the pre-order cards making this a difficult process for everyone (it takes me on average 30 minutes to pick up 1 pre-order instead of in and out within 5 mins like usual) because someone didn't do it correctly the first time.  So my question is, how should employees process a pre-order if there is NO Pre-Order card in store??  I would love to continue to pre-order at best buy, but am getting tired of having employees screw up my pre-order.

     Hello ITDEFX101,
    Pre-ordering your movies during these 100 My Best Buy™ Bonus Point promotions is a great way to ensure that you are able to get your hands on some great movies as soon as possible after release, while simultaneously earning extra points. It is regrettable to hear that your pre-order experience with Rio 2 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were not as smooth as we strive for these processes to be, and in the end, you state you didn’t even get the bonus points you expected.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to review your pre-orders for all three movies, as well as your My Best Buy™ account. Sadly, it does appear that there may have been some issues with your pre-orders, and I would like to address these with you privately, especially concerning your pre-order for Transformers: Age of Extinction. I am sending you a private message, which you may view once you’ve signed into the forum and clicked the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.
    Sincerely,
