Pre-order kiosk problems

I went in today to check some amiibos and some games and when I went to the pre-order kiosk I saw I could pre-order Final Fantasy Type 0 HD Collectors Edition and the Toad Amiibo.  When I went to the checkout to pre-order them they kept coming up as "Unavailable to pre-order".  I've had this problem with many other games and I find it very disheartening that it still is going on, the pre-order kiosks need to be updated more freaquently and/or tied to the site so that it stops with the false pre-order promise.

Hello CalamityXI,
We really do appreciate your feedback and your interest in pre-ordering from us.  
These are very popular items and it appears that Final Fantasy Collector's Edition is currently sold out online.  You can pre-order this item by clicking here.  
I don't see this specific amiibo on BestBuy.com.  Please continue to check here for updates.

  • I have pre-order album problems

    I pre-ordered an album but when I tried to download the album, iTunes states that it is not in itunes currently, but i had recieved the email stating I could download and have a few of the songs from the album already when I purchased, what should I do?

    Hello there, Paw_010.
    The following Knowledge Article provides some great information in regards to pre-orders and how to download them once they become available:
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    If you still are unable to download it, you may want to follow the steps found here for downloading past purchases:

  • Wii U pre order guaranteed?

    I managed to pre order the Deluxe Wii u package at my local best buy. Does this mean that I am GUARANTEED a Deluxe Wii U package? Or is it possible that they get sold out and I don't get it even if I pre ordered?
    Solved!

    Yes it could be sold out and no it is not guaranteed. It is guaranteed that if you were the 2nd person to preorder it and they get two that you get one.
    How can a pre-order not be guaranteed? When it comes to a new video game system that is releasing, retail stores such as best buy make sure that they have an excess amount of units than preordered. This is so the people that didn't have a chance to preorder can wait in line and have a shot at still getting the system. What would be the point of pre-ordering if you aren't even garanteed the product that you ordered ahead of time? As long as you get a pre-order in before best buy cuts off pre-ordering you should be guaranteed a system. 
    However, one thing that is bugging me is how my pre-order went through when I pre-ordered my wii u. I was going to pre-order on bestbuy.com however, it showed that the console was unavailable to pre-order at any of the stores around my area using the store pick up feature. But when I went to the physical store I saw a pre-order kiosk there. And I pre-ordered the Black 32GB Wii U and got it rung up by a clerk. He said that I would be guaranteed the console on launch day. And I don't see a reason to doubt that especially since I reserved more than two months ahead of its release. 

  • Online Shop Problems Pre-Ordering N97 in UK

    I cannot find any other forum, and I seek to make this as public as possible because the way loyal customers are being treated by Nokia are think are wrong. If Nokia see fit to remove this post without sorting these problems, then fair enough.
    I am disillusioned with the Nokia UK Online Shop and its practices. My experience has given me a bitter taste of Nokia and I consider that the whole operation needs an overhaul to gain confidence.
    When making an order, especially a pre-order with a company that has a global reputation like Nokia, I expect several things. Firstly, to be kept informed as to the status of my order, stock availability and expected delivery date. I would expect a pre-order should get more priority over existing orders. I expect Nokia should aim to get every order if not delivered, at least shipped for the release date. I expect when enquiring about my order, to be given information especially when there is only a week to go until release.
    There seems little point in making a pre-order when I can order from elsewhere quicker.
    On 13th June 2009, I placed my order for a White Nokia N97 under order reference number CNLXXXXXXXXXX.
    The Nokia UK Online Shop does not provide details at point of order about expected release dates, quantity, or shipping dates. I would expect Nokia to know about their own products first. The idea that Nokia are operating without any form of forward planning or logistics is quite amusing.
    Shortly after I placed my order, I received an email advising that the phone has an anticipated shipping date of three to four weeks. This made me nervous and wondered whether there was a problem with the White Nokia N97 – after all, there is no information on the website.
    On 15th June 2009, I phoned Nokia to enquire as to the status and was advised that there is nothing wrong and that the phone is “due” to be released on the 19th June and I should get my phone sometime after that. Unfortunately again, with less than a week to launch, Nokia did not have any firm information to hand either about their own products or their own systems.
    Firstly, it seems Nokia don't know their own stock movements. Secondly, the fact I have to wait until after the 19th to receive the phone makes a mockery of the entire pre-order process and really does invalidate the whole premise when we have to wait beyond release.
    Nokias own blog also guarantees that when you pre-order, “it will be shipped direct to your door from the production line so you'll have it the same day it hits the store in your country”. I highlight the relevent point here.
    Receiving the phone AFTER it hits the stores is not the same day. When I pointed this out to Nokia customer service, I was advised:
    “The N97 is due to be released on 19th June. If you bought it from a shop, you would have to wait for it to go from the production line, to a warehouse, then to a subsidiary warehouse before being sent to a shop. Hopefully therefore you will get yours before this.”
    This is patronising and clearly an incorrect comparison given that the phone should be shipped from the factory. It twists what was in the blog which guaranteed delivery on release day, a guarantee broken in the US where I understand customers had to wait several weeks to clear the back log. This is very bad PR.
    There were still a few days left before the 19th June. I relaxed a little and waited patiently for my credit card to be billed. Users on the forums were also showing concern especially when websites such as Expansys.co.uk and Play.com started guaranteeing dates and providing arrival times.
    The fact that others can make promises and provide information where Nokia cannot, illustrate my point beautifully. Nokia do not have any information to suggest that users will even receive their phones by the 26th June.
    By 3pm on the 17th June, my credit card had still not been charged and my order had not been updated. Users on the forums including a couple of users who had ordered yesterday, were receiving credit card charges and emails advising that their Black Nokia N97s were being fulfilled and shipped. At least for these, it looks like they will be receiving their devices in time.
    I phoned Nokia once more to see if there was any problem with the White handset. I was again assured that there was no problem and that it is first come first served. But I had little to no reassurance as to when another batch of phones would be received and processed. It seems no one actually knows, least of all Nokia. If someone who ordered after me received their phone before me, I would be rightly angry and upset with Nokia.
    I asked whether it would be worth swapping my order contents from the White N97 to the Black N97. I was advised I cannot make a change to my UNPROCESSED order without it being moved to the back of the queue.
    I feel that Nokia have taken advantage of its loyal customers and strung us along by not providing any real information. If I had ordered an N97 from the Expansys website today, I could have had my phone tomorrow and for the same price as Nokia.
    What advantage has pre-ordering given me? I haven't got my phone, my order hasn't been shipped, it hasn't been allocated, my credit card hasn't been charged. Nokia don't know when they can fulfil my order. By choosing Nokia, I have had no order tracking, no information, broken promises, no guarantees, delays and a substandard service. Worst of all, Nokia cannot get my pre-order to me quicker than Expansys.
    Therefore, in summary, I make the following requests:
    1)Make a pre-order count for something. A pre-order should get to me on time and get to me before it is released elsewhere. Otherwise there is no point of pre-ordering from Nokia.
    2)Provide an “Expected Release Date” on your pre-order pages – when there are two different versions of the same product, users have to guess as to the availability of both.
    3)Provide an “Expected Shipping/Arrival Date” on your pages – if you have two different products and I don't care about colour, I should be given the chance to order the one that will be in stock first!
    4)Don't make promises that you cannot keep, no matter how informal they are.
    5)After being found out, do not back track and pretend it means something else. Get the problem rectified by means of either meeting the deadline, offering a free gift, or offering an apology or explanation.
    6)When I phone to find out when my order will be fulfilled, please, have some information available about your own phones and processes.
    7)If you have two different versions of a product available and one is available first, let me switch without incurring penalty.
    8)Give me a better service than other websites. If you cannot ship them quickly enough before the release date, you are either not shipping early enough, or not shipping quick enough.
    In relation to my order, please tell me whether there has been a problem with the White N97, why those who ordered Black N97s on 8th June and 16th June are getitng their orders fulfilled and I am still waiting, and please tell me when I can get mine. Please also swap my product for the N97 Black if this will resolve any bottlenecks.

    Your complaint will not be seen by the people who run the UK shop here.
    You need to use the "contact us" link if you want the correct people to see your comments.
    I do agree with most of what you wrote as I have been let down twice in the past by the UK online store for pre-orders.  Their customer service is uninformed, unhelpful and resort to telling lies.  For those reasons I do not use them.

  • 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!

  • Pre-order points missing and pre-ordering problems at the store level.

    Hi
    During the week of July 6th-July 12 there was an ad for pre-ordering certain movies and getting 100 bonus points for each movie.  On July 12th I pre ordered Rio 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Transformers:AOE (Steelbook edition).  The employee was able to successfully pre-order Rio 2 using the provided in store pre order card but had difficultly pre ordering Spiderman 2 and Transformers.  Rio 2 and Spiderman 2 had set release dates while at that time Transformers did NOT have a release date until recently.  These pre-orders were done in three different transactions. 
    Picking up Rio 2 on 7/15 was not a problem.  The employee did an exchange in the system.  The 100 bonus points never posted.
    The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a lot of problems.  The employee thought I already bought it and picked it up on 7/12 when I went to pick it up on 8/19 (the release date).  At the time of the pre order purchase, there was no announcement of the BB exclusive Magno pack for the same price as the regular blu ray release.  Again the employee did a return/rebuy.  This employee also stated that the employee who processed the pre-orders Spiderman and Transformers did it incorrectly since it looks like she did it as a normal transaction instead of a pre-order.  The points have yet to be posted.
    Transformers: AOE (Steelbook edition) now has an official release date of 9/30.  My question is will the system allow for employee to process the pre-order pick up since it is outside of the 45 day window?  I am hoping it won't be but seeing how the employees have been processing pre-orders incorrectly when picking them up I expect problems when doing so. 
    I have also noticed a price drop for transformers (6760435) from the time I pre-ordered it on 7/12.  Will the employees be able to adjust the price and give me the difference?
    Not all stores carry the pre-order cards making this a difficult process for everyone (it takes me on average 30 minutes to pick up 1 pre-order instead of in and out within 5 mins like usual) because someone didn't do it correctly the first time.  So my question is, how should employees process a pre-order if there is NO Pre-Order card in store??  I would love to continue to pre-order at best buy, but am getting tired of having employees screw up my pre-order.

     Hello ITDEFX101,
    Pre-ordering your movies during these 100 My Best Buy™ Bonus Point promotions is a great way to ensure that you are able to get your hands on some great movies as soon as possible after release, while simultaneously earning extra points. It is regrettable to hear that your pre-order experience with Rio 2 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were not as smooth as we strive for these processes to be, and in the end, you state you didn’t even get the bonus points you expected.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to review your pre-orders for all three movies, as well as your My Best Buy™ account. Sadly, it does appear that there may have been some issues with your pre-orders, and I would like to address these with you privately, especially concerning your pre-order for Transformers: Age of Extinction. I am sending you a private message, which you may view once you’ve signed into the forum and clicked the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Paul McCartney Pre-Order Problem with Sorting

    I pre-ordered the new McCartney album last week (at which point it downloaded the "Ever Present Past" single) and when it became available today I downloaded the rest fine, except "Ever Present Past" (which should be song number 2) had a different album title ("Ever Present Past Single" or something like that) and thus didn't sort correctly with the rest of the album... so I edited the track to match the same album name and correct track number (being very careful to make sure that all of the fields in the Get Info window match the other tracks, and that there are no invisible spaces throwing it off), but it refuses to sort with the rest of the album... even tried to rebuild the iTunes Library file but that didn't work either... just curious if anyone else has a similar problem and/or a possible solution. Thanks.

    This is ridiculous that this issue isn't being
    > addressed. Same problem here, and I guarantee that
    > I'm not alone.
    Check out the emails I got from Apple on this:
    "I understand that the single " Memory Almost Full" from the album you pre-ordered, will did not download with the album and now you're unable to listen to the album without it stopping to get to the single. Please note that re-downloading the album, will not resolve this issue. You are correct when you mentioned that this issue will happen because iTunes sees it as two different albums because it was downloaded separately. Don't worry. To resolve this issue, I recommend creating a playlist for the album itself. That way, you can arrange the contents of the album so that they will play without interruption.
    This article will show you how to do this:

    I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store."
    Well, that's great...so not only do I have to isolate the album from the rest of my iTunes collection, it also does nothing to fix the issue on my iPod. So I responded to them as such, and got this response:
    "You did mention very valid points when stating your disappointment with the way pre-ordered albums are downloaded and Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide feedback about iTunes than the people who use it.
    I encourage you to use the iTunes Feedback page to submit your comments:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Your efforts to share your feedback are very much appreciated.
    I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store.
    Is this ridicuous or what? Unbelievable. If I bought a CD in a store and the tracks were incorrectly burned on the CD, the store would take it back or at least try to exchange it for a new copy that wasnt defective. This TECHNICAL ISSUE needs to be resolved.

  • Having some problems with a pre-ordered album

    Okay so, I preordered an album called FROOT by Marina and The Diamonds. I got my instant download of the two songs that have been released already. Today, she released a new song called Immortal, but i can't play it. From my understanding of preordering, when a song comes out, you can instantly download it and listen to it. Well, next to the songs that I can listen to say Play. But next to Immortal, it says pre-ordered like all the other songs in the album but those other two songs. I want to listen to my music so I need help. Can anyone solve this problem? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    And it says $0.99 on my Mac for some reason. I don't know what happening but i would love an answer/ solution. Thanks. Greatly appreciated.

  • Destiny pre-order The Taken king problem.

    Hey.
    I have bought Destiny game with Season Pass, last year on ore-order, this worked fine.
    When i purchased the new Destiny: The Taken King, i got the Bundle with the game, 2 expansions aswell as the taken king, at a much higher price.
    Problem is, as i already own the game and expansions and don't need 2 copies as i said before, i only need The Taken King.
    I tought nothing of it, it's just a simple cancel, and then re-order the right game.
    But, this pre-order took funds from my wallet and charged the game.
    And now i can't cancel it.
    Is there anyone here from PSN that can cancel this for me, and refund my wallet?
    So i can pre-order the right one?
    I also pre-ordered Fallout 4, and on this one i have option for cancelling, but i don't want to cancel this one though.

    Contact PSN support about this

  • Big problems in store (Whitehall PA) with Battfield pre-order + coupons + DLC +GCU

    I preordered Hardline in store and went to pick it up today. I had two coupons. The 5 dollar off a new game for GCU and a 10% off coupon I got from the post office.
    The cashier rang up my preorder and scanned the 5 off coupon and something happened and her manager voided the transaction. The seond time around the coupon no longer worked. She basically accused me of trying to use the same coupon twice like I'm a theif. The 10 percent coupon worked fine.
    Also no pre order codes were printed on my receipt and I didnt get them in an email.
    I have copies of the original recepit where i put down a 5 dollar deposit.
    A Post Void recepit with the managers and cashiers initials
    Another receipt staped to the Post Void
    And a final receipt with the GCU + 10% discount but no DLC or 5 dollars off discount.
    I'm also worried I wont get my 10 dollars forpre ordering because of all the weird transactions.
    Basically I need my DLC codes and another 5 dollar off coupon to replace the one they wasted. I guess I'll have to wait the 15 days to see if I get the 10 bucks for pre ordering or if that messed up too.
    Thanks for reading any any help you can give me.

    Good afternoon massawill,
    Thank you for joining Gamers Club Unlocked!  There are some great benefits to this program and I'm happy to hear you've been able to jump right in on the offers.
    With that said, I understand your recent interaction didn't go quite as you would have liked.  I apologize for the trouble and confusion.  I'll be happy to discuss the situation with you.
    I am happy to see that you have received support with your code concerns, and I can also confirm that your My Best Buy bonus is currently pending as it should.  I needed to do a little research to find out more on the $5 off coupon.
    From what I have been told, the welcome packet $5 off coupon does not stack with movers coupons, so only one should have shown up.  By needing to do a post-void on the first receipt though, I regret that the used coupon is not also able to be used on a different transaction.  I will send you a private message for additional information.

  • Cancel the Pre-Order Problem

    I Pre-order the JT new albums and I changed my mind and cancel it.
    But the album's page still shows that I Pre-order it.
    It will be charge and download with my new movies that I will Pre-order soon?
    Sorry for some bad grammar.

    I too ordered mine on the 9th (@ 2:45 AM) and like you my expected ship date was 2/18.  The phone's already been shipped, scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
    Like you, I was a little upset about seeing the 2/18 expected ship date after placing my order.  Especially seeing that there were no lines at most of the Verizon & Apple stores but alas, it looks like tomorrow's the day.
    I'm not sure if you're a new Verizon customer but assuming you are, is there someone in your family who can purchase the phone and service for you, in their name?  Then once your issue is resolved with Verizon perhaps you can transfer it to your name?
    I'm new to Verizon and not yet fully familiar with their policies.  If you do decide to go this route, please call them to make sure that they allow customers to transfer phones/service from one customer to another.

  • Still having elder scrolls pre order problems

    i got a 3 day access instead of the 5 day access i was supposed to get, okay fine. 3 day keys are atached to regular edition versions of the game not the imperial one (which is the one i paid for) now i cant access the imperial race, or my horse... so basically i cant get any of the perks i paid i for............................................................................................................................................ thank you best buy .....

    Hello es035,
    Thanks for contacting us regarding your pre-order for The Elder Scrolls Online. Imperial Edition pre-orders were supposed to come with a 5-day Early Access code, however we did end up running out of those. We had a limited supply and ended up providing some Imperial Edition customers with 3-day codes as a result. I apologize for any disappointment that this caused.
    These codes only grant access to the game ahead of time, the only difference being the number of days. There is no additional content tied to them, and all other Imperial bonuses should be included with the game itself.
    Thanks for posting, and please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
