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.

  • The Diff Between Pre-Order and Reserved

    Pre-Order:
    You walk into the store between the 24th and the 1st of July and walk out with an iPhone 4.
    Reserved:
    You stand in line after all the pre-order people have gotten their iPhones (or if they don't show up, their phone is held for 7 days) and any extra phones are given to you, in a first come, first serve of the people who reserved. You are not guaranteed to get one.
    No Pre-Order or Reserve:
    You get dibs on the phone after all the reserve people have gotten their phone.
    End of story. Please stop asking.

    Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I get that a lot of people don't know there's even a difference between "pre-order" and "reserve", but why would "reserve" people have to wait until after all the "pre-order" people get their phones? The Apple store employees know not to give away the pre-order phones, I'm assuming they're pulling from a different "pile".
    And there have been a few people on here who have said that Apple employees assure them there is an actual phone with their name on it. Difference is, their phone isn't programmed to their account yet and the reservation expires at the end of the day (as opposed to pre-ordered phones which expire after 7 days.) Not that the Apple store employees know all, they sure didn't today, but if it's a consistent answer like this, I'm inclined to believe them. Also, then, what's the point in telling the reservation people to come at 7AM if they're not even going to start giving them out then?

  • Pre order vs reserved

    If I reserve the new iPhone 4 for pick-up, is my credit card charged on the 15th when I reserve it or charged when I pick up at the store?
    I'm concerned that the "reserve" does not guarantee the holding of the phone since Apple does not have any funds in hand or means to charge a credit card if the submission of a credit card is not given. Not that I think Apple has any concerns with selling any phones for folks who don't show up....:)
    Anyone who had the "reserve in store" option for the 3Gs have any input? Everything worked out fine? I enjoy the "drop day" atmosphere at my local Apple store and would like to pick it up there.
    Also, in either scenario, whether you have have it delivered or picked up at the Apple Store, how do you choose if you want to stay with the unlimited data plan or switch to the new cheaper limited one?

    how do you choose if you want to stay with the unlimited data plan or switch to
    the new cheaper limited one?
    If these questions are not asked in the ordering dialog, you still have to set up the phone through iTunes. If you do a store pickup, they will likely take care that when you pick it up. If you already have an account with AT&T, there is also their web site. The new plan is offered to all iPhone users regardless of any upgrade.
    There has never been a plan change thrown in the mix before, so none of us here really know. But I am quite sure AT&T will not miss a chance to charge us for something

  • Verizon pre-order ship date question.

    Does "ship on or by X date" mean that all those orders will be shipped by then but could be sent out much earlier or does it mean that they will be shipped only on that date?
    Thanks,

    What normally happens on a preorder is they are shipped so the item arrives the day the phone is released. But in some cases, you may get it a day before the official release.
    On devices already on the market, if the credit charge goes through and you order before 3:30 local time, depending on which shipping method you have (one day/two day) the device will normally ship the night of the day you ordered.

  • Pre-Order Multiple Copies of Games ($10 Reward)

    Sorry if this has already been asked before but I couldn't find a thread that touched on this question... 
    I'm a GCU member and have recently pre-ordered Batman for PS4. I know that when I pick up the game I will be credited with a $10 reward for pre-ordering.
    My question is that if I also pre-order another copy for my brother, will I be rewarded another $10 certificate or can I only get one per title per account? 
    Thanks, 
    Matt 

    Hello mog728,
    Great question and spot on response enuf!  Yes, only one per account.  I'd advise your brother to create a My Best Buy account by clicking here and can view all the benefits of the Gamers Club Unlocked program by clicking here.

  • Destiny the Taken King pre-order issue

    I've brought destiny a while back and I brought the two add on packs well the season pass well they am bringing out the taken king and when I try to pre order it it says not available for purchase even though my friends Ave the only difference is u bought the season pass they brought the two add ons separately any ideas

    Hi guys, 
    This issue has been reported to the Store team who are investigating the problem. In the mean time we have discovered a workaround that will allow you to pre-order the Taken King expansion for Destiny. 
    Please note in order to pre-order the Taken King stand alone expansion (without previous expansions) you must own both The Dark Below and House of Wolves expansions or the Destiny season pass. 
    To pre-order the Taken King DLC first search for the Dark Below expansion or click here. As you already own this content there should be a purchase button with a price of  £0.00. 
    Select the purchase button and confirm (as long as the price is still £0.00). 
    Complete the same process for the House of Wolves DLC 
    Again make sure the price is £0.00 before confirming the purchase. 
    Go to the Taken King product page and you should have the option to pre-order. 
    Any questions or if the doesent work please let me know. 
    Thanks, 
    SFZ 

  • Lost Pre-Order Receipt

    I pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto V for PC on Febuary 10th, back when I picked up my pre-orders for Evolve. Normally I keep all my pre-order receipts in a specific envelope, but I think this was one of a few times they stapled my pre-order receipt to the product page print out I brought in to easily reference what I wanted to pre-order.
    Long story short, I can't find the receipt anywhere, I found the pick up receipts for evolve the day I went in there to also pre-order GTA V, but can't for the life of me locate the one for GTA, I fear I may of accidentally tossed it when I got rid of the product page print out.
    Is there any way I can get another copy of the receipt prior to going in to pick up on the 14th?

    Hello Veroku_Chan,
    I used to have a pretty good filing system for my receipts, but somewhere along the way, I stopped keeping good track of them. It hasn't bit me yet, but one of these days I'm going to be in a pickle. You ask a great question and I'm very happy to help.
    Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed, I was able to locate your purchase history, but not the pre-order transaction in question, so I will need some additional information from you. Please watch for a private message from me with that request. To check your forum inbox, ensure that you have signed in with your user name and password, then click on the envelope icon in the upper right of this page.
    I look forward to working with you and am grateful that you wrote to us.

  • Online Pre-Order

    So I have pre ordered two copies of advanced warfare for me and my friend online, and we chose pick up at store. Now that we have pre-ordered, we are questioning whether our games will be available at the midnight release or if we have to wait until sometime within the couple weeks after to get it. We pre-ordered the day zero edition, so we're supposed to get it a day early. We would really like to go to the midnight release, but we're not sure about this. Help?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey TDSAmnesia,
    No need to worry! Customers who have pre-ordered their copies of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for store pickup should, indeed, be able to pickup their copies at Day Zero midnight opening events in their area. Since you placed your order on BestBuy.com, you should receive a pickup notification message as soon as on-site reps have physically set both copies aside for you. Just remember to bring  both your order number(s) and a valid photo ID with you -- they'll be required to pick the games up.
    Thanks for pre-ordering with us!

  • Can you change the type of iphone that you pre-ordered before launch day??

    I pre-ordered the 16GB Black iphone for pick up at my local Apple store and think i should have ordered the 32gb instead. Was curious if anyone has called to change their phone type from 16gb to 32 or 32gb to 16gb. Thought I would check here before calling them and bugging them.

    Limited availability. Some mixes responses. My store will not allow changes of pre-orders or reservations. Others have said they will allow changes, but you'll have to head to the back of the line.

  • Am I Paying for Pre-order + Songs that were Already Included in Pre-order?

    I pre-ordered an album (hollywood undead day of the dead deluxe edition) but when I tried to download the songs they released prior to the album release date such as live forever and disease it wouldn't let me kept giving me an error so I pressed on the $1.29 for the song and was then able to download but it is a seperate charge for these 2 from my pre-order so the question is am I paying $13.99 for pre-order and the $2.58 for the other songs? It may not be much but i'm in college and every cent counts!

    Thank you for the reply most people saw this question and probably face palmed because it does sound kind of stupid so thank you for replying! I assume the 3.87+ the 5.29 I have already paid for the pre-order would be subtracted from the 13.99? As you said with the 3.87. Leaving me with a bill of $4.83.

  • IPhone 4 Pre-Ordering Issues Solution

    Use the Apple Store App. It worked instantly for me, no issues at all. I received a confirmation email within 5 minutes, and within the app it confirms that I have a reservation for an iPhone 4 on June 24.

    Have been trying to buy and or reserve one since about 6am Pacific Time and my sessions have repeatedly timed out. I have attempted at least 20 times to no avail. I am doing the method described in my email from Apple last week and going directly to the site and hitting pre order and reserve and still cannot get it done.

  • Tamriel Unlimited Imperial Edition: In Store Pre-Order PS4

    So after noticing the collectors edition was sold out online I went into my local store and had them check the SKU and they said they could pre-order it in the store. I put some money down and get my pre-order. My question is does BestBuy tend to pre-order stuff like this without knowing if they will have stock or what? 
    He said he checked and it looked like everything looked good. 

    Hello JetBlackPanda-
    Welcome Back!  I’m glad to hear that the issues you encountered with The Witcher 3 didn’t prevent you from pre-ordering another game with Best Buy!  While I haven’t played an MMORPG in a while, Elder Scrolls Online certainly seems to have a loyal following!
    As I understand it, if the store was able to complete the pre-order in their system, they should receive the game when it releases.  When stores try to get creative to find a way to push the pre-order through, sometimes things can get dicey.  Based on my review of your pre-order receipt, it appears that the store did it correctly.
    I hope that this helps!

  • Questions About Pre-Ordering/Reserving the iPhone 4?

    I know on June 15th you can pre-order/reserving an iPhone 4. I am a bit unfamiliar with the pre-ordering process.
    If you can pre-order and pick it up in the stores, does that only mean it guarantees you one on launch day? Also on launch date will there be a separate lines for pre-orders and non-preorders? (So pre-orders go in the store first?)
    And if you reserve the iPhone 4 in store pick-up, do you have to pay the whole thing, or just put a certain amount down?
    I doubt if anyone knows this question.
    What time do Apple Stores open when the new iPhone 4 comes out? I bought my iPhone 3GS last year at launch at AT&T and they opened at around 7 I think, which I read is the same this year.
    I'd rather deal with Apple. Do they open around 7 A.M to too?

    rather not deal with the crazies and people, id order online and get it shipped to my front door. check with your local Apple store for business hours. i remember att opening a little earlier on launch day for the 3GS, idk about Apple though? id asume both will run it alot smoother for everyone.

  • RESERVING VS. PRE ORDERING?

    I have a question. I'm looking at getting an Iphone 3GS and I just RESERVED a white 16gb iPhone 3GS that means I finish for at the apple store on friday. Now I understand how this differs from pre-ordering the iPhone from At&t or apple and picking it up in stores friday but does reserving it mean I'm guaranteed that when I go to the apple store on friday afternoon they'll have an iPhone ready under my name to buy? Or because I didn't pre order it if they sell out am I out of luck? I was a little confused about all of this. If anyone knows anything about this could you please help?

    there is a chance if you reserve one that you will not get one on that day it is based on a first come first serve basis... even though the doors will open early for people who have reserved one, once it hits regular store hours the lines merge and its first come first serve from there on... but they say priority will be given to those who reserved one
