Order Cancelled, at wits end!!!!!!!!!!

Question

I went to my local Best Buy store to buy a new phone for myself and my wife, the employee tells me that they don't have them in store but he could order them for me and have them shipped to my house. I say great lets do it. He places the order and we go through the whole process of an upgrade and paperwork and all other required stuff, takes about 45 minutes. I leave the store felling great thinking we would have new phones in less then a week and have got them at a great price. I check my email on my phone and have one from Bust Buy saying my order was received and then another one saying my order was cancelled because the could not verify my information. I head back to the store. Speak with the same employee who had helped earlier, he looks everything over, talks with his manager and we place the order again. Same thing happens an email saying the order was received and an email less then a minute later saying the order was cancelled. He calls Bust Buy credit to ensure that my card was good to go, they tell him that things are good and then they speak with me and tell me the same thing, and that we should try the order one more time. The employee has been there help me now for almost an hour after his shift ended and asks if I would mind if he had another employee help me, I tell him sure and thank him for his help,  so after being in the store for another hour and 30 minutes, and the second employee making calls to help desks, submits trouble calls,  and talking with managers we place the order again, and the same thing happens email that order was received and then an email less then a minute later that it had been cancelled. At this point I am very frustrated having spent close to three hours in the store trying to spend my money, thank everyone for their time, and head home, as I was leaving I was told to come back the next day and they would get it all figured out. Later that evening I look at the emails again and decide to call the number for questions, again great customer, the rep tells me he can't see any reason why my order would be cancelled but he would forward it on and that some one would contact me in the next day or so, and recommends that I contact the store again.
I go back to the same store again speak to another employee and explain everything that has happened, she makes some phone calls and talks to managers, help desks, etc. and we place the order again and the same thing happens. She makes a few more phone calls gets things reset and we try once again with the same results. We talk some more and she recommends that we try an have my wife come in and try to place the order, and to call Sprint to see if they have a flag on my account. I call Sprint and Best Buy credit both are great and tell me they see no issues and have no flags on my accounts. I call Best Buy.com and the rep was a little short with me and told me that since there was a ticket already placed that I needed to wait to hear back, I asked when I should expect to hear back on the ticket and was told when they call me. This is frustrating and upsets me but I say thank you for your time and hang up and go back to work. After work my wife meets me at the store and she goes through the process and has the same thing happen email order received then a minute later order cancelled  can not verify information. By this time the two employees that had helped me the day before are back for their next shift and they along with the employee that had been helping me make calls here there every where to try and figure this out. They get things "reset again" and my wife tries again with the same results, now after spending four hours in the store my wife takes my daughter home so she can eat and get to bed, I stay and wait on more phone calls being made. At this point I am totally defeated, I call it a day and am told I should try and place the order online once I get home. I get home and place the order online and get the first email saying that my order was received and waited to see if I would get the second one saying the order was cancelled, 3 minutes goes by and I'm feeling good that it was finally worked out, then my hopes and dreams were once again crushed, email comes in saying my order was cancelled for the same reason as the other 9 said. I try one more time to order online and decide this time to bypass upgrading my device and just buy the phone out right, place my order and swallow hard as I hit the button submitting the $900 order for just one phone and hope, I get the order received email and then the waiting game, 2 minutes goes by, 4 minutes goes by, now 10 minutes has gone by and I'm feeling good that it was finally going to work, then it happens the second email saying my order has been cancelled for the same reason stated in the other 11. I'm defeated and go to bed.
By this time I am sure anyone reading this is asking why in the heck would anyone in their right mind spend more then 8 hours total in a Best Buy store when they are not being paid to be there and basically beg Best Buy to take my money, the answer a good deal. 128gb iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ for the price of the 16gb version, a total savings of $400.
I have yet to hear from anyone from Best Buy higher help and really hope that Best Buy can figure this all out so no one else has to endure this.
If anyone from this secret Best Buy higher help who has no known phone, or anyone from any other part of Best Buy can help me out on this I would be very appreciative.
I will say this the three employees from the Best Buy store have been great and have gone above and beyond to help get this resolved, and I'm very thankful for that.

Hello JSWO,
I spent a lot of time and effort just making the decision to upgrade from my ancient flip-phone to a smart phone for the first time and even more energy after that in deciding which one I wanted. It was exciting! I was mightily disheartened to read that your adventure was curtailed in a string of apparently ambiguously cancelled orders. While I'm delighted to read that the staff at your local store went all out for you, I apologize for your having to cope with so many visits to the store and the quest for clarification followed.
