Ha! So happy I did not pre-order

So I actually waited until today to go to my local VZW store to pick up the Iphone. Got there at 515am and was 6th in line and freezing outside. I was not there more than 5 mins before someone came outside and passed out line cards that essentially held our place in line. We were told that we could then go back to the warmth of our cars and they would open up the doors at 645am. While sitting in our cars they even came by and served us complimentary Starbucks coffee. When doors opened at 645am I was out before 7am Iphone in hand. So glad I did not pre-order and go through the stress of confirmation emails, tracking numbers, wheres my phone, whens my phone going to be here. Well worth the extra 3day wait and now I am in the same boat as the pre order people.

Maybe people have sense to wait for the 4g,duel core proceesor model,know i see no point signing a 2 year contract on an iphone 4 when within 6 months they will have a the 5 model.and anybody who think otherwise is ignorant,these phones are cash cows for Apple.

  • For those who did NOT pre-order the Iphone 4

    Are you camping out the Apple store?, what time are you heading there?

    Unfortunately I have to wait until Tuesday to get mine from AT&T, and if they don't have any by then I will be raising ****! I have to get mine from AT&T because I'm using one line to upgrade but activating on a different line.

  • I did a pre-order on a music album then I did not realize you needed to check the email to get the album so by accident I canceled it now I lost my album please help

    I did a pre-order on a music album then I did not realize you needed to check the email to get the album so by accident I canceled it now I lost my album please help

    In list view, select the album column. To choose which columns appear, select an item on the left side of the window (a playlist, for example), choose View > View Options, and select the information you want to see. You can also Control-click a column heading to select columns to display.
    The column selected determines how tracks are displayed.  For example, clicking the "Name" column displays all tracks in alphabetical order; clicking the "Album" column displays the tracks in album order; clicking the "Date Added" column displays the tracks in the order that they were imported into your library.  Columns also have a disclosure arrow at the right of the column (when selected) that you can click to reverse the order.

  • Why did i pre order an album weeks ago for it not to download it !!!

    Why did I pre-order this album so I can hear it as soon as it came out but I'm all over apple trying to figure out why the heck it won't download!!!! Thats completely asinine and I'm highly upset it, if this problem isn't fixed by morning further action will be taken. This phone cost to much to have any petty flaws, like really why couldn't I have just waited until i woke up the next morning to buy it if this was going to be such a Hassle. This is a conundrum and i don't appreciate having to wait all this time to listen to an album I purchased weeks ago. This is a flaws you all should have fixed LONG AGO ! -.-

    I feel your pain but there's no-one here from Apple to hear this.  It's a user-to-user forum.
    See if the "More LIke This" posts offer any help

  • Wish I had not pre-ordered

    After going through a lot of anxiety trying to figure out when my new verizon phone's would arrive it seems there was no problem finding them in stores.
    It is 12 pm here and I am waiting for UPS to deliver my phone.  This morning I was near the local Verizon store, at 7:45.   The store opens at 8, and the line consisted of less than ten people.  Going on line and looking at the best buy site, I see most of the phones are available in stores today and most of the stores are less than a 30 minute drive from me.
    I could have saved taking a day off to sign for the phone, and having to sit here, possibly until 7, all day.
    Oh well-I guess hind site is 20-20 to use an old cliche'

    I agree with you, I wish I had not pre-ordered. I was promised delivery of my iPhone 4s for Friday, October 14th. I still have not recieved it and have not received any email notice of shipping. I am a loyal Verizon customer of several years and thought by pre-ordering, my customer loyality would be rewarded. WRONG!!  Any new non - Verizon customer could walk into a Verizon store on Friday and buy one and the multi-year loyal customers are still waiting on delivery. If they could'nt deliver on the scheduled date, don't bother with the pre-ordering promise **bleep**!  I think after this, my entire family and myself are changing carriers.

  • Why can we not pre-order the Iphone 4 due to tech problems? The US seams ok

    I have been trying to pre-Oreder the new Iphone and I have had no joy. For over an hour now the uk web page has had problems.
    I do not think is fair how other webpages on other countries like the US have no problem on making orders but the uk for some reason can not make any orders yet! Convenience?
    I can not even make it over the phone, why?
    I feel like the US is getting priority on this like the Ipad, although we are meant to be able to pre order on the same day.
    If you are not able to pre-order in a certain country, no one should be able to pre-order elsewhere. I am not happy the way this is being done, I understand Apple has technical problems, so stop pre orders deal with it and then start again.
    Like everybody who wants an Iphone 4 I can not waist all day trying to acces the website as I have work to do.
    But I also do not want to come to pre-order and havbing to wait longer than the 24th June becouse too many people have been ordering this while the uk site has been down.

    Thanks I did take notice but I also know that orders were made even though.
    I guess you just have to keep trying.
    I was able to order the bumpers for it about 45 min ago and now I have order the Iphone 4, but I still have friends that have not been able to order.
    Just need to keep trying till is fix! I'm ok now which is the most important.
    I know is hard and they will be overloaded but should be coping, i thought they coped very well with the Ipad!
    Anyway thanks for reading my moaning!

  • Why can I not pre order the iPhone 6 with us cellular?

    Yuo can pre-order the iPhone 6 for a coupe carries but not US cellular (which is my carrier). Just wondering why that is.

    Preorders are not live yet.
    Us cellular is not a major carrier and will not be sold by Apple.
    You will have to go through the carrier to get one, when they carry it.

  • 802.11n ... what if you did not custom order the card?

    I've now read a few threads regarding 802.11n support for Mac Pros, but I'm still a bit confused. At the time of purchase, I didn't see a need to drop in an Airport card right away, and opted only for the Bluetooth module.
    Now with the announcment of 802.11n support and the new Airport Extreme Base Station (with AirDisk support) ... I am considering going wireless.
    Now, I just assumed I would be able to purchase an Airport card after the fact, like with any previous PowerMac, but now I can't find a mention of doing so in any of the DIY docs or the Mac Pro manual. Is it not possible for me to install an Airport card anymore? If so, why wouldn't Apple make this clear on the product or Custom Configuration page ?
    And if I were to get whatever module is needed for the Mac Pro, will it support the N protocol ? Is it not just an Airport Extreme card?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all for your replies. I also found this on the Apple Store listing for the Airport Extreme Card.
    "This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with the Mac Pro or the Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider. "
    I really didn't expect this of a "Pro" machine, but now I worry I'll have to pay an additional cost to get it installed. Let's hope Apple plays nice.

  • No pre order or reserve question

    Ok sorry if this has been answered, but i did not pre order or reserve an iphone because it stated on apple.com that i have to put money down to start a line with AT&T. will i be able to go to AT&T on the 24th and start the process? or is the 24th only for people who pre ordered and reserved?

    Go to an ATT or Apple store now or when you have the money and start the process, you won't get a iPhone 4 until they have one available (They have sold out). Waiting until 24th will only delay your wait, others will pre-order ahead of you.
    Trying to do anything at an ATT store for the next couple months will mean getting in line behind all the other folks trying to get their hands on an iPhone.

  • Galaxy S6 Pre-Order

    I pre-ordered an AT&T Galaxy S6 two weeks ago, and when I went in on release day, They did not have the shipment in yet which kind of bugged me, but they offered to give me a non-preorder one that they got in a different shipment. However, they did not have my color in stock as they had already sold them to non-preorder customers which I think is awful customer service; that people who did not pre-order the phone have one and I still don't. In store, they told me that the shipment would be in later on friday, or at the latest saturday, yet on sunday night, They still don't have my phone in stock. Is there a way I could be told when to expect my phone because I am considering cancelling my order and just getting it from amazon instead. Also, if I cancel, what do I have to do about the wireless charger that was shipped to me?

    Hello anrafla-
    I’m still sitting on a Samsung Galaxy S4 myself, but I do like the Galaxy series of phones so far and it looks like you do as well to pre-order the new S6 through us.  I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to pick up your phone at the time you posted.
    It is my understanding that there was a delay in the shipping of some product for AT&T pre-orders initially, but it sounds like most of those shipments have reached the store.  Specifically to your order, it looks like you were able to pick it up the day after this post and I hope that you are enjoying your new phone!
    Thanks for connecting with us and please let us know if you do need any further assistance!

  • HT1209 Pre-ordered albums not showing in "Purchases" after delivery

    Hi
    I recently purchased two albums on iTunes on my iPhone that were pre-ordered by a few days. On the release date I was duly notified and dowloaded them to my phone successfully.
    Today I am trying to download them to my iMac but they don't appear in my "Purchases" list. Other items I have ordered which were not pre-orders are all there in the list OK.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Anyone got any clues on this one? Guess I'll have to formally raise it wioth Apple support.
    thx/Andy

  • IPhone 6 Purchase (with pre-order)

    I hope something can be done about the poor service I received.
    I shopped around to see what store I would be purchasing the iPhone 6 (64 GB) from and went with Best Buy.  I went into the store and did the pre-order on 9/12/14 at the Burbank, IL location.  I asked a lot of questions and felt I was making a good decision about ordering from Best Buy.  AT&T is my service provider and I called to make sure that my plan would not be affected and was assured that not be the case.  I was told I would receive an email before 9/19/14 and I would be able to come and pick up my phone.
    I received my email on 9/18/14 and read clearly that the process to activate the phone would take about 30 mins and the person whose name is on the account has to be present.  When I arrived at the store on 9/19/17 at about 7pm, the mobile area was pretty crowded and an associate was taking names.  I was told the wait was approximately 45 minutes.  I was ok with 45 minutes and sat in the mobile area to wait, and wait, and wait.  There were only 4 associates helping customers and in the 45 minutes that I was told that I needed to wait I did not see any associate finish with a customer and call a new one to be assisted.  It took an hour for an associate to finish with a customer and I thought he would call the next customer on the list but he left and did not come back.
    The reason why I am expressing my frustration is that there was no clear communication with the customers at to what was going on and why the wait was so long.  Give the customers a clear expectation of what to expect and let them make their own decisions.  If I knew the was was going to be over 2 hours I would have left.  I had friends who purchased ther iPhones from Best Buy that same day at another location and they stated they were in and out. 
    I requested to speak to a manager and was informed there had been computer issues throughout the day and he appreciated my patience.  Now we are down to 3 associates and by this time some customers had decided to leave but I did not want to make another trip for the same thing.  What was really upsetting is that no other associate jumped in to help; not even the manager.  The rest of the store was pretty empty and there was no managerial decision to pull help from other departments.  One associate went through the whole process of activating a phone for another customer and at the last moment her mother wanted to purchase an iPhone 6 as well.  I dont know if the associates work on a commission but that seemed to be unfair; they should have had to wait to purchase the 2nd phone.  Another associates clearly did not know what she was doing; she had to ask for help on every screen to this slowed down the process. 
    Before my name was called the associate who seemed not to know what she was doing continued to text on her personal phone.  So not only are you unsure about what you are doing; slowing down the process but you are also texting on your phone which is also slowing down the process.  My name did not get called until about 10pm (which is the time the store closes) and the associate that took care (and I use that term loosely) of me was the same one who was texting on her phone.  She was clearly distracted and entered my telephone number in the computer incorrectly with slowed down the process as well.  I did report this to the manager as well and he offered me a free phone case; and I was appreciative but he was not addressing the issue.  The issue is there are customers waiting and no one stepped up to the plate to assist.  The customer should come first and I definitely did not feel this way.  I am going to think twice about spending my time and money at Best Buy because of this experience.
    Thanks for reading and if there is a customer reading this who lives near Burbank, IL I would reconsider.

    Greetings rpurches,
    I am super excited to purchase an iPhone 6 and am even considering the 64GB model myself. I’m sure you were truly excited to receive the notification that your phone was ready, and can imagine how disappointed you were after waiting longer than expected at the Burbank, IL store.
    Our associates should be assisting our customers in a timely manner, while also maintaining a professional and courteous manner. Helping our customers in a timely manner can be difficult if system issues arise, however, we should be letting any waiting customers know so they do not feel left unassisted. I apologize if this is not the experience you had when you were picking up your iPhone 6. I am glad to hear that you brought this experience to the attention of one of the managers in the store, and were able to receive an accommodation for any inconvenience you may have experienced.
    That being said, I am truly grateful that you have taken the time to share your experience here on the forum. It is not only insightful, but helpful for us to hear the experiences our customers are having. I can assure you that I have also thoroughly noted your experience so that the appropriate business teams and store leadership may review it.
    If you should need any further assistance, please let me know!

  • Why is a pre-order phone no longer allowed to be shipped to my work address??

    On Friday, April 4, I went into my local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S5.  The order was placed and I was given a copy of the receipt which looked very accurate.  The sales rep had read back to me the Bill To and Ship To address in the store, and it was correct, but didn't show up on the receipt given.  When the confirmation e-mail came to me, I noticed that the Ship To info had my company name, and an address, but my name appeared nowhere on it.  I called to question this when the store opened on April 7, and all of the answers were "I don't know.  I'll have to research and get back to you."  When there were no calls returned I checked again and received the same response.  When I left my office for the day, I still had zero answers.
    I drove to the same local store and re-hashed what I'd tried to accomplish during the morning.  I was told there was no way to amend the shipping label once the order was input, despite the fact NO orders for this phone have yet to be fulfilled, since they are still in the warehouse.  I work in a nine story building with every single office working for the same global company.  There is no chance whatsoever that the FedEx delivery would ever make it to me without my name being on the label.  I don't even think FedEx would try.  It was just foolishness at the time the order was originally input (by the Verizon Store).
    During the morning there was mention of possibly cancelling the entire order and starting from scratch, which I was totally OK with, as even that delay would be quicker than someone signing for the box and it sitting God Knows Where for days/weeks.  When I said we should re-visit that option, I was now informed that it is a "Verizon Policy" to avoid fraud and NO pre-order phone could be delivered to any address except the account address of the phone owner.  That was surprising to hear since it had been done (albeit incorrectly) just a couple of days earlier.  The answer to that was, "Oh, she made a mistake in trying a work-around".  Since I was recording our complete interaction (love that feature on my current phone), I asked manager Mike to verify a third time that he could not send a phone to my office address where I am during FedEx hours, and I could not adjust the existing order to come to the store for pickup.  The answers were No and No.
    My last two Verizon phones were shipped to my office, but I do understand that some company policies do change.  I just think this is a doofus change.  I also think it was pretty foolish for the original sales rep to miss putting a person's name on the shipping label.  I have trouble believing that the computer order system would even allow her to make that mistake.  But Verizon is in phone sales exclusively and not in the corporate shipping business.  Perhaps this is some needed training.

    Epilogue:
    My problem has been solved, and I'm now happy to have my pre-order of the new Samsung Galaxy device completed in a way that totally satisfies me.  But I am kicking myself for not going this route in the first place.  I won't make that mistake again in the future FOR SURE.
    After the manager in the local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) said there was nothing he/they could do to overcome the error made earlier by their store sales representative, because it was a pre-order and nothing can be changed/corrected for the initial input.  They had failed to put my name on the shipping label requested for FedEx delivery, meaning that the box containing my phone would probably NEVER reach my hands once if was delivered to a nine-story office building with many many employees.
    I simply went to my local BestBuy store and mentioned I had a very few questions to be answered prior to attempting to place a pre-order of my new Samsung phone.  I asked if the phone could be set for delivery to my office and the answer was a quick YES.  I asked if the phone could be set for pickup at the BB store and, again, the answer was a quick YES.  They were initially surprised to hear that any company would say otherwise. BestBuy requires a photo ID when they take a phone order, and a signature is required when FedEx makes its delivery, so they assured me the Verizon "Fraud Policy" quoted to me was not a standard retail answer AT ALL.  Thirteen minutes after I walked to the mobile phone department, I was walking out with all my confirmation details for a new phone.  The purchase was less out-of-pocket since BB doesn't do that VZW arrangement of paying $50 extra and then getting that back as a mail-in rebate later.  Seems no other carrier except VZW is charging that extra fee for this new device.  On top of that savings, BB gives you a $10 gift card just for doing the pre-order with them.  Bonus!!
    I may (or may not) receive my phone a few days later than those ordering at the Verizon Store, but in my situation I was assured to get mine late due to the shipping label error.  No matter what, I'm going to be pleased with my purchase, and BestBuy just earned additional respect with the way they accurately handled my Verizon purchase.  VZW it still a quality mobile phone provider, but (in my personal opinion) they are extremely weak in the guest service side of the business . . . which almost negates those other positive things.

  • Re-pre-order

    Today I was browsing through my iTunes settings and I accidentally cancled a pre-order, and whenever I visit the albums page to re-pre-order the album, it says it is still pre-ordered, however I've tripple checked in my settings that it is not pre-ordered. How do I pre-order it again?
