Evo 4G LTE Back Ordered?

I pre-ordered the HTC Evo 4G LTE the first morning it was available (5/7) and now the order status id 'Back Ordered'?
Is this really the case? I just logged in to see if there was a ship date yet and saw this. Annoying if true.

Dan, I will wait for a while as this is the only phone that has really caught my interest since the original Evo 4G 2 years ago. My issue if you look at my original post had nothing to do with the delay, in fact I posted it well before I ever heard about that.
My problem is with Best Buy and the way they have handled this order since I placed it. I only looked at the status this week and saw it listed as back ordered, but I suspect it has said that almost since the moment it was placed. I have a co-worker that placed an order the same morning and it went to backordered status at once.
I posted here and emailed the online store address and asking about it before the news of the customs delay came out. That was Tue afternoon. To date the closest I have to any kind of response from Best Buy is you post above.
I did get this right after I sent the email:

  • Can we please hear from Management on the HTC EVO 4G LTE Status

    I am starting this post as a hope to actually get some sort of status update on the HTC EVO 4G LTE release.  
    I think I speak for the techno philes out there that are waiting for and pre ordered the device.  Back on the 17th we were disappointed with the information of the delay.  As with most of the techno philes in the world I have been following the news and blogs surrounding this situation.  
    On Sunday we were greeted by the news that customs had released some of the devices, and than the news that Sprint would be shipping the phones by May 24th.  Than in one blog I saw this statement which concerned me.
    "So if you have ordered it outside of Sprint such as at Best Buy or Amazon, you will probably have to wait a few more weeks before you get your hands on your HTC Evo 4G LTE." the droid guy, http://thedroidguy.com/2012/05/sprints-htc-evo-4g-lte-coming-to-pre-order-customers-on-may-24th/
    I think we would all appreciate some sort of statement from Best Buy.  Some information with anything would be better than living in a vacuum of information.
    Those that have pre ordered through Best Buy, and read this forum are loyal and avid Best Buy customers and to be honest I think we deserve some information.  
    I don't mean to rude or short, but if it is true that direct Sprint customers receive their phones this week and we are left waiting days or even weeks for the device, something needs to be rethought.  
    Again this is a plea for information more than anything.

    I don't think they know... I am betting HTC had the Sprint shipments move to the front of the line and they got the first batches of phones that cleared customs... I read somewhere that they test one phone from every box/case shipped in before clearing them. All I know is my preorder with Best Buy still says back ordered and the preauthorization on my credit card is gone now (but those usually go away in 10 days anyway) but since Sprint isn't taking any more orders right now and no one else has them in stock all you can do is WAIT.... Sucks but I bet no one at Best Buy knows a true date and they don't want people to start canceling...

  • HTC Evo 4g LTE preorder

    I was wondering if anyone had any updates about the Evo Lte preorder for Bestbuy. Sprint has already started their preorder as of 5 min from now. I have bought my last 3 phones from Bestbuy because I love their BlackTie protection and buyback program. I have been waiting 2 years to upgrade my original evo and do not want to take a chance on firstcomefirstserve. I remember the first Evo was on backorder for months for the folks that didnt preorder. If I dont get any info from BB soon , I will have to preorder from Sprint.

  • EVO 4G LTE - deal verification

    I've seen a lot of conflicting information regarding the deals available for purchasing the EVO 4G LTE from Best Buy. I'm upgrading from an EVO 4G and plan on turning my phone in for the trade-in offer. I also pre-ordered my new phone in the store. I believe this means that I will receive a $50 credit (for the trade-in, regardless of phone condition) and a $50 GC (for pre-ordering my phone in store), thereby bringing my total cost to $99.99. However, the guy in the store had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about the GC. Am I missing something here?

    Actually, there are *FOUR* deals that you can possibly combine if eligible.
    $50 Gift Card for Pre-Order that **CAN** be used towards purchase.
    $50 Discount for trading in original EVO 4G.
    $50 Gift Card for trading in original EVO 4G.
    $50 Gift Card if you signed up for Phone Freedom (can no longer sign up) that **CAN** be used towards purchase.
    $200
    It appears at a minimum, you will be able to apply $150 (2 gift cards and 1 discount) towards purchase of the phone.  Remains to be seen if the $50 gift card from the trade-in deal can be used at purchase.

  • Applying 4G LTE pre-order GC with activation on 2nd line

    So i plan on pre-ordering the Evo 4G LTE online, and the offer states the GC should arrive a couple business days later.
    My wifes line is eligible for upgrade 06/01, so we were planning on upgrading in store.  Best Buy is showing a current promotion for upgrading a Sprint phone to a newer device for $50 credit, and an additional $50 for turn in of a gently used EVO.
    If my wife is upgrading from a Hero, can we expect to use the Evo trade-in, Evo pre-order, and the Sprint upgrade credits for her purchase in store?
    Thanks,
    Alan

  • How to find Requisition number of a closed Back-to-back Order

    For a closed back-to-back order line how to find the requisition number?
    Tried using the "Requisition Summary" form --> Related Documents(Tab) --> providing the Sales order number.
    But the LOV attached to sales order does not contain the B2B sales order number.
    Hence not able to find the corresponding requisition.
    Regards
    Edited by: 839781 on Dec 1, 2011 2:25 AM

    Are sure it was a B2B sales order?
    Does the item placed in the order is ATO enabled?
    I can find the requistion of the closed B2B order line from the requistions summary window
    only order line is closed..header is still open for me

  • Open sales order and back orders

    hi ,
    what is the difference between open sales order and back orders?
    thanks
    ganesh

    Hi Ram,
    A open sales order  is the one which is not yet delivered that means u have only created a sales order and saved it( create a sales order, save it and see the document flow, the order shows as open)
    Back order is also an order which is not completely fulfilled. may be because of the target quantity or because of not meeting the requested delivery date.
    in this case you will pull back the required quantity from other sales order(open sales orders) this is done using T.Code CO06.
    cheers,
    anil.

  • Credit Management: How to include back orders value in credit exposure?

    Hello,
    We have to have credit management implemented for some sales order types.
    Credit exposure is working fine with normal sales orders.
    But credit exposure is not taking into consideration the value of backorders which are present prior to credit management was implemented (with horizon period of 2 months).
    Please let me know how we can include the value of back orders in credit exposure?
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

  • Back order line in transact move order form , drived the inventory negative

    Hi,
    I had problem with transacting some lines in several move orders (it was stuck and giving error each time I tried to transact or delete from view update allocation –> delete line)
    In order to cancel these lines to proceed the manufacturing process I back ordered those lines by:
    Inventory super user - > move orders - > transact move order - > tools - > back order line
    Note that the move orders type was Manufacturing Pick
    Now I noticed that this drives the WIP subinv Negative for those items .
    So what is the problem and how can I solve it?
    Thank you
    Edited by: Ahmed.Abbas on Apr 16, 2011 2:39 AM

    hi,
    The problem was in the interface managers (Material transaction , Move transaction ) were inactive , i launched them
    Review note 141493.1 in metalink to know how.
    I also deleted the pending transactions with errors from mtl_material_transactions_temp and mtl_transaction_lots_temp ( the items were lot control ) .
    Thats all :)

  • Cross Docking with LE-WM - or - Reactivating Back Orders upon Goods Receipt

    I have been reviewing the documentation for Opportunistic and Planned Cross Docking in LE-WM. The requirement is to release Back Orders upon receipt of a shipment to avoid putting them away and picking them right away from the bin. We want to release the Back Orders for picking in the GR area at the time of receipt.
    So far it appears that Opportunistic Cross Docking depends on a Transfer Order already existing. The system then cancels the existing TO and replaces it with a TO to pick from the receipt Storage Type.
    Planned Cross Docking appears to require an existing Outbound Delivery to the expected Inbound Delivery.
    In the case of a Back Order, no Outbound Delivery or Transfer Order exist since there is no stock to release until the goods are received.
    Is there a way to release Back Orders to be picked directly from Goods Receipt?
    Thanks;
    Jim

    The problem is that all the information I found so far about it is over the process of external goods coming and sending they out without the need of storing in the warehouse. They go directly to the picking area (one step) or in two step process  going first from 902 (Good receive from external) to Cross docking Sorage type.and another movement  from Cross Docking Storage type to 916 Good issue Storage type.
    I need to know if it is possible to implement a solution of Cross Docking for certain number of products having a factory and a warehouse. If so, would you give me a brief process flow?.
    Thank You very much.

  • Change of Discounton in case of Back order processing

    Hi,
    We are having specific order type in which if cient unable to supply the stock as per requisted delivery date bu customer- client needs to give more discount.
    We are doing back order rescheduling-
    we want to new pricing discount for rescheduled order-
    is it possible writing a requirement routine for the discount and read it i billing document? based on Requisted date and goods issue date- or any user exist we have to apply?
    Thanks
    chidambaram

    Hi chidambaram
    As per your requirement , if your client is unable to supply the stock as per the request delivery date and if client has to give more discount to the customer and as you are doing backorder rescheduling , then at billing level you can maintain manual discount , because after doing reschuding order only you will be doing delivery and then billing and for that billing document you maintain a additional discount and then you can forward to FI .This may meet your requirement.

  • Third-party back order process

    Hi,
    We created a third party sales order which in turn created the purchase requisition. The requisition is converted to PO and received a partial quantity.
    But when I ran the back order processing transactions V_RA or CO06 the sales order is not appearing in any of these reports.
    We are unable to activate the "Req/ Assembly" flag in the schedule line item category. Is there any way we can show the backorders for third-paty.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    I think that the Third-party process is like a make-to-order process, so you cannot assign/remove availability because it is strictly related to the purchase order created from the sales order.
    All you can do is a availability check (even with tcode V_V2) to syncronize the dates maintained in the puchase order back to the schedule lines in the sales orders.

  • Third party Sales Orders in V.15 Back Order Report

    Hi,
    Is there any standard setting to incorporate undeliverd third party sales orders in the standard V.15 backorder report.
    I need to get the list of third party SOs which are backordered???  similar to drop ship and stock orders (TAB & TAN).

    As per my knowledge, in standard Third party Sales Orders process,
    -On availability check.
    -there is no GI.
    -no movement type.
    -TAS - I Cat - is not relevant for delivery.
    The Standard process is
    Create Third Party Sales Order (VA01/VA03 - retrieve PR num)* - Create Purchase Order (Display list of PR with ME57 and convert to PO with ME58) - Approval/Release of PO (if required - ME28) - Invoice Verification (MIRO)**
    - Billing (VF01/vf04)
    The PR number is automatically created in this step.
    The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the vendor.
    So, in standard TP sales process, Back order processing is not possisble. If you any other business process scenario, do share with us.
    Thanks & Regards
