Pre-order line at Apple Store

So,I went over to the Apple Store in Glendale, CA to pick up my pre-ordered IPhone 4. There must be 1,000 people in the pre-order line. Apple, this is really insulting... Why did you guys limit pre-order pickup to one day??? What a waste of time. There's no way I'm going to wait in that line. ... This is a terrible way to treat your loyal customers.

I live in Nashville, TN and we have the only Apple store within 200+ miles and I pre ordered and had to wait four hours for my phone. I have it now so im good. You had to expect to wait. I got there at 5:30 A.M. and still had to wait. Try going back later. The non pre order line had at least 4000 people in and the pre order had about 1000 people.

Confirmed Pre-order (home delivery) + Apple store reservation

I am eligible for upgrade & was lucky enough to get both a confirmed Pre-order w/ home delivery & a confirmed reservation at the local Apple store - my question is, Can I get them both at the $299 price OR will the instore reservation @ Apple see that I have already paid the discounted price for my home delivery?
I originally did this becuase of all the issues, i wasn't 100% sure that things had went through smoothly (mostly becuase they went TOO smooth - I was done w/ both processes in under 5 minutes).
If I could get a 2nd phone at discounted price, I'd likely sell it. If I can't, does anyone know if I can give my reserved phone @ the store to someone else? Do I have to wait in line & get the phone only to hand it off to someone else for activation OR could I just send someone else w/ my e-mail confirmation of the reservation?

It all depends on if they check the ATT system again or not. I ordered for Apple delivery, but ATT knows that. I'm assuming when you go in the store, they check your ATT account once more, since they ask for your information to confirm what price you qualify for.
I suppose you can try it and see, but I wouldn't count on it.

Pre-order iphone 4 Apple Store UK

Hi,
Some questions over the pre-ordering of the iPhone4, my contract runs out in December this year, o2 say I can upgrade early and pay £100.
Does anyone know that if I will be able to pre-order my upgrade through the Apple Store (UK), then collect at my local store.

Him just thought i should inform you that I already have an orange contract...and as I already have a a contract and a number i was also going to buy the new iphone 4 pay as you go...then ring up and transfer my existing number over to the new iphone...ONLY to find out apple are playing really clever this time...and then new micro sim you either have to have as a brand new contract or a brand new pay as you go sim...now this isn't great for pay as you as you will know from previous pay as you go tariffs that you will get a years free internet and then thats bout it....they WILL NOT let transfer any existing orange or other network numbers over to the new iphone 4 as its a micro sim...its probably true that it is physically possible but this is the way Apple are getting you to buy more contracts......
p.s. does anyone know when this pre-ordering starts..is it 12:01 of the 15th or 9am???

Cancel pre-order to buy in store?

Right now, I have a pre-order for the iPhone 4 through apple that has a ship by date of July 14th. If one of my local stores gets a phone in stock before then, will I be able to cancel my pre-order and be eligible for upgrade in the store? OR, can I go in and buy it for the upgrade discount price without canceling the pre-order online, as not to loose my place if I don't get one in the store, then just cancel it online when I get home?
Thanks in advance!
p.s. - sorry if this is the wrong place to post in!

I did just that this morning.
Walked out of an AT&T store with an iPhone 4 in hand,
got the early upgrade discount too.
I then canceled the online order with the Apple store
(also July 14 ship date) afterwards.
No problems!

Pre order of the apple watch

How long dose it take for apple to take money out for the pre-order for the apple sports Watch?

In the past purchases with Apple, my card has been hit for $1.00 within a week of making the pre-order. This is to insure that the card you provided is valid and has a credit line remaining to support the charge initiated for the Apple watch.....

Ordering ATV from Apple Store UK

When I rang the UK Apple Store yesterday to ask about the ATV the guy told me I'd get it faster if I ordered it by phone - and he was right it shipped today at 2pm - The Site is still quoting 3 day delivery times.
I'm given an estimated delivery of 4th April which I hope is an overestimate.
May be of interest to anyone ordering in the UK

I pre-ordered via my local store thinking they would get the first shipments - how wrong. The store people seem to know less abouts what's going on than the rest of us. I keep being told that " Apple tends to keep us in the dark and we only know what's going on when we see shipment details". Not very professional is it?

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

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.

Pre ordering iphone 5 for store pickup

Is there no option to pre order for store pick up?
I don't want to have it posted.
Cheers

Hmm... Pretty sure I was given the option for store pickup, but I didn't choose it so I'm not sure what the message would have been.

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.
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Trying to pre-order iPhone4 on Apple site

I finally was able to pre-order the iPhone 4 on Apple's website. I want to upgrade rom the original iPhone to the new one. I am upgrade eligible from ATT. When I went thru the process I was never asked to pick a data or messaging plan. Right before I was to confirm the reservation I noticed that the price was $599 not the $199 that it should be. Wondering if anyone else ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it?

Apple released a statement a couple of days later and apologized for the $599 price listed. I received the same thing. You'll get it for $199 if you are eligable for an update.

Lines at apple store!

I biked to the apple store today, around 11am to get an iPhone -- there was a long line snaking around some barriers, four times, like people waiting to ride a roller coaster.
I couldn't believe that this was for the iPhone! But a quick question to the first guy in line, a young skateboarder type, confirmed it...
Given that I was hoping to make it to the gym as well as do some grocery shopping, I had to hop right back on my bike and head home.
Are there still lines everywhere else? Apple store Soho? The far reaches of the USA, california, etc.?
Another day...

Uhh, yeah, umm no. There was not a 3-5 hour wait because of activation problems on the day I went in to try and acquire one-date of July 18th. I went into the apple store, there were four people in front of me for the iPhone que and I was out in 30 minutes. This includes the time I used to choose between two accessories.
My phone was activated and number ported over about 5 minutes after having left the store. I was making/receiving phone calls on it within an hour of entering the apple store and purchasing it.

Unreserved line at apple store?

The store near me opens at 7am. What time would those in the know suggest I get there to be sure I get a phone before they run out of stock? And how long do you think the line will be at 7am? I did not reserve it but would like to buy one tommorrow. The ATT stores here wont start selling them until Tues the 29th so the Apple store is the only place I can go.

i'm on the same boat .. i have no idea what time to show up, i'm thinkin' 6 a.m. i called the apple store and they said 'oh yeh, we'll have a phone for you' so i'm guessing they will have a lot in stock .. we'll see how it goes tomorrow .. never done anything like this before but the iphone4 sounds like it's worth it .
