Pre order and In Store pickup in a different country?

Hey guys,
I know this is going to be kind of a stretch, but worth a shot..
Can I pre order a apple product from my home country (usa) and pick it up in store in a different country? I'm currently living in Korea, but would like to avoid the heavily marked up price for the new Ipad Mini.
Thank you for your help,
Drew

No, you can't. No Apple Store will ship outside of its country.
Regards.

Issue w/Witcher 3 Pre-Order $10 Certificates, Store Pickup and Steelbook

I picked up my order yesterday for In-Store Pickup & had a couple of issues. First, when I was picking up my order, the associate helping me tried to pick up the two large boxes at the same time & I watched as they slipped from his grip & he dropped them in front of me. The outer sleeves of the boxes came unattached to the boxes & since one of the boxes fell on the other one, there was some slight damage to the box, there's a large crease on the top now. I asked him if he could grab another two that weren't damaged since they were obviously dropped right in front of me, but the associate said there were no other ones available. To him it might not seem like a big deal, but if I am going to spend the large amount of money on the Collector's Edition of an item, I like EVERYTHING to be pristine & perfect, even the outer packaging! That was disappointing.
On top of that, I asked about the Witcher 3 Best Buy Exclusive Steelbooks I was supposed to get w/my Pre-Order & he said they had not yet arrived, & that two would be set aside for me & to call the store later that day to see if they were delivered. Luckily I was able to get them, but I figured that it shouldn't be my responsibility to stay on top of the shipment, I felt that I should have at least been the one to RECEIVE a call since my order was at the risk of being incomplete, & ME having to call the store to track the shipment is an inconvenience to me.
My other concern is I checked my reward zone purchase history & while I already received the points for picking up my Pre-Order Games, I have NOT received the Victory Can Be Pre-Ordered $10 in Reward Certificates for the games, there is NO record of it in my Purchase History to reflect the Pre Order Bonus. Normally it is shown in the same section of points for the purchase (it can be seen when I check the details of my Mortal Kombat X Pre Order picked up a month ago).

Hey siatienco,
I have to admit, the circumstances you’ve described around your The Witcher: Wild Hunt pre-order are pretty frustrating to me. Obtaining your SteelBook should have been standard protocol, not a matter of “luck”. Also, I can completely understanding wanting a Collector’s Edition that’s in good shape and I greatly apologize if you received one that isn’t in perfect condition!
One positive note I can add here is that you likely have nothing to worry about with the $10 Reward Certificate portion of your pre-order. These points generally don’t show up until 15-20 days after you pick up your pre-order and within this timeframe, they may or may not even show as pending.
If for any reason you don’t see the 500 points ($10) in the timeframe mentioned above, please send me a private message via the link in my signature. Keep in mind, the points may appear back when you placed your pre-order, so be sure to look there as well.

Can I change pre-orders from In-Store Pickup to Ship-to-Home?

Right out of the gates, I know I'm far from the first person to have concerns about amiibos and pre-orders associated with them.
I have all of wave 3 as well as the Best Buy exclusive Meta-Knight preordered for In-Store Pickup, but my Wave 2 preorders have been extremely hit or miss thus far. My Little Mac never showed up in store, and when the CS representative there offered to have one shipped to me, it was cancelled. My Pit never showed up, and I was never even given a chance for a contingency. I had just missed out on it entirely.
My friends who pre-ordered with Ship-to-Home have had little to no issue, so if possible, I would like to change my preorders to be handled that way.
Overall, and like many others, I'm very disappointed with Best Buy's In-Store Pickup option. As a result, I find myself backing up pre-orders with other retailers. I'm not wild about the concept of preordering with Best Buy being such a gamble. If there's any way to shift me over to Best Buy's more reliable Ship-to-Home option, I would very much like to do it.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi there ActionKazimer,
The amiibo figures are wildly popular! I can understand why you would be concerned with your store pickup pre-order if you haven't had the best of luck with your previous ones, which I am deeply sorry to hear about.
Sadly, as the amiibos are currently sold out online, we would be unable to modify your order for shipping to your home. With that said, at this time your best bet would be to keep the pre-orders as they are. I apologize if this was not the response you were hoping for when you reached out to us on the forum.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,

How Do I change my Iphone 5S order to in store pickup?

What the heck.
I placed an order within 24 hours of the iphone 5s debut. The order is of course still stuck in "processing purgatory".
My card has been charged for the $10 shipping fee. But not the full price.
(I thought orders over $100 were free shipping?)
I know people who have walked into stores and simply bought the phone they wanted. So random walk ins are basicaly cutting the line of folks that already placed an order?
I'm a long time Apple guy. Now I do not expect a fricking gold star and red carpet treatment. But for crying out loud, you would think if you order from the bloody manufacturers website you might be able to count on decent, if not good, customer service.
Instead I feel like I am at the DMV trying to get a car registered without a pink slip.
I am not the only person stuck in this jam. Plenty of us do not have the time to go wait at an Apple retail store for hours. I can only order online, or run into a store on my lunch break, if I skip lunch.
Not saying I am going to "leave apple forever" or somesuch foolishness. But I sure as heck won't try ordering off of the Apple website EVER again.
On to an actual question.
How on earth do you change an online order to in store pickup?
I can find the model I want as available at a few stores that are about 50 miles away. But I am afraid if I cancel my order then make a new one I'll end up with no pending order and a bunch of stores that show no stock by the time my renewal discount refreshes.
ps. hilarious that purgatory is an ok word, but h3ll is not. Lets see if "heck" works.

make sure there is no fluff or debris in earphone socket that may cause the iPhone to think headphones are plugged in

Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate.
I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.

Solved!

Hi JBROWN52,
Congratulations on securing a copy of the Limited Edition of Destiny!
I wanted to jump in and reiterate what enuf has said. The $10 Reward Certificate bonus should be credited to your My Best Buy account within 20 days after you receive your copy of Destiny, whether it be picked up in-store or shipped to you. If for any reason you don’t see the points after this time has elapsed, please create a post letting us know and we’ll be more than happy to help out.
Let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy.

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?

Album wont download after i pre ordered and paid.

I pre ordered the album Salute by Little Mix and it came out today and it says purchased but it still wont download. I have money in my account so I have no clue why it wont download.

Hello, Rachel.
I have experienced this exact same issue for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.

Pre-order at Apple store

just wondering do u guys think apple should or could do pre-order at the apple retail store? save people alot of time and them alot of time as well. For me i would have to drive almost 2 hours to get to the nearest apple store, which i cant commit to that everyday hoping they would have an ipad 2 in thier shipment. So if they could do pre-order people would stop calling in every day to bug them about it, and sometime might not even make it in on time to get it before it sold out.

i did the same..what i did was i ordered mine on apple.com early in the morning on the 12th (which pushed to 3-4 weeks) then i also place pre-order with best buy(1-3 weeks)
just a little tips for those out there, you should pre-order urs online now or do the best buy pre-order and in that mean time just keep checking with local apple store and maybe you'll get luck and u can always cancel those order. Apple wont charge you until the product start shipping. just a good way to cover all your ground.
Feel like apple got me on a string and making me running around

Gaming Pre-orders and Gamers Club Unlocked

Everytime I pre-order a game, I'm charged the full price (minus the deposit) when I go to pick it up. I purchased Gamers Club Unlocked last October and should be getting 20% off until October 2016.
The first time I tried to use the promotion on a pre-order was last November (less than a month from purchasing the service). I pre-ordered a game that had the 500 Rewards points promotion for pre-order and purchase. When I went to pick up the game, I was charged in full. I told the associate that I had GCU, so he had to adjust the price manually. I'm not sure about all the math but it deducted points from that 500 point promotion.
The last time I went to pick up a pre-ordered game was 2 days ago; I also had a $5 reward certificate with me. Once again, 20% was not taken off the purchase so the associate asked for help from a few others. After about 15 minutes and a couple voids. They had to treat the pre-order as a normal purchase and refund me the $5 pre-order deposit. That's fine seeing as there really was no pre-order bonus on this particular item.
I'm just asking: do I have to go through this everytime I pre-order a game at Best Buy?

Greetings WN_Orlais,
It is strange that you would have such difficulties with receiving your Gamers Club Unlocked benefits if it is appropriately attached to your My Best Buy membership. Receiving these benefts, especially when pre-ordering games, should be a painless process, and I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been for you.
Using the information registered with the forum, I see that your Gamers Club Unlocked membership appears to be attached appropriately. With having said that, I'm sorry to say I can't speak as to why you have encountered these issues.
I do see that when you originally went to pickup your most recent pre-order, that you did receive the Gamers Club Unlocked discount, and that your My Best Buy certificate was applied. However, this transaction left off your pre-order deposit, which led to the chain of reprocessing the transaction a few times to get it sorted out. I apologize for any hassle that this has caused.
If you continue to experience trouble with pre-ordering, please let us know so that we may look further into this with you!

Can I cancel my iPhone 6 plus pre order and still keep my upgrade?

We pre ordered the phone on 2 month contract upgrade, but now we want to cancel the pre order. The phone still hasn't shipped yet, it's supposed to ship out by the end of the month, so can we cancel the pre order and still keep the upgrade for a different phone?

ba1696,
Ordering a new phone and being able to purchase one at any time is certainly exciting. If you purchase a new phone and have not received it,you most certainly can cancel the order and keep your uprgade date the same. Was there any particular reason you were wanting to cancel the order for the iPhone 6? Was the order placed online or over the phone? We have all of the options available for you.

Reserved for Store Pickup, No pre-order and Ship to Store!

I'm reading all these discussions and my head is exploding. I was up @ 4am yesterday banging away like you all.
My criteria was this; I was eligible for upgrade @ $199 with the activation fee waived (sweet). I wanted to pick the phone up at my Apple store because I trust it more then brown.
When I clicked the pre-order link, there was NO option to have it sent to the store, it could only be sent to my house. Let me repeat that, NO option to send anywhere but house. It even says it "Pre-order your iPhone 4 from the Apple Online Store and we’ll ship it free — directly to your door and ready to use."
So I went to the reserve in store process. There was NO WAY TO PAY for it up front. Let me repeat that; NO WAY TO PAY for the reserved phone. So I received my confirmation email and said there is a phone waiting for me on the 24th!
I called 2 Apple stores and chatted online with 3 Apple support people and they ALL, every single 1 of them, said the same exact thing. The only way to pickup in the store is to go through the reservation process. The store will have 2 lines, reserved and general. The reserved will be there all day for you to pick up.
So, does anyone have some proof that you pre-ordered it, paid for it and have it sent to your Apple store, not your home to pick up?

I got to the page state,"iPhone is reserved for pickup." Please bring government issued ID, debit or credit card...... No email received. Do I really have one on hold????
This time for this phone things are very confusing. I preordered yesterday for in store pickup got through the verification process saw that all my data and cell plan info were correct. Then at the end I got the message "see you at the store". Bring picture id. Nothing else, no confirming email as of today, nothing showing under my account in the on line store. I just came from the store that I picked for my phone to go to and there is nothing in their system either. So I went down to the AT&T store in that mall and preordered it there, no issues. It's just as well since I'm ordering it under my wife's number to get the discount and would have to go there any way to make the switch. I've read other posts from people that saw the same thing on line that I did when they ordered, "see you at the store" but no other confirmation. I'm going to assume that it means the order did not go through. So keep that in mind if you got what I did.
