Preparing Order for Pickup?

Just curious if this means the store has the item already and is just preparing it or what? On the 28th I ordered a CyberPowerPC - Gamer Ultra Desktop - AMD FX-Series - 16GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive - Black/Blue and just ship to store, the status went from Proceesing to Preparing item for pickup. Was just curious as to if they have it already or what this actually meant? Also i believe the order may have been placed thru a vendor and not Best Buy themselves, if this is true, will I still be provided a tracking number when it does ship? Thanks for your time and help!

Hello HillbillyHoser,
I’m not much of a gamer myself, but I am rather excited for you to get your hands on a gaming specific computer. My younger brother has one on his wish list, and he swears the graphics card alone makes it well worth the purchase. It’s disappointing to hear your order is processing slower than anticipated though, and I’m sorry for any confusion our order status updates may be causing.
While “preparing for pickup” usually means we are in the process of securing your order, I did pull up your purchase using the email address attached to your forum profile to see if I could provide you some additional details. Upon review, it seems we do not have your computer readily in stock, and we are collaborating with a vendor partner of ours in order to fulfill your order. Please know you should receive an email to notify you when it’s ready for in-store pickup, but our systems show the current estimated arrival date for your computer is 8/7/15.
Having said this, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on your order to provide you status updates as they become available. Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions in the meantime though.
Cheers,

  • Preparing order for 7 days

    Order has been processing for 7 days without being shipped

    Hi rountreekat,
    Seven days is an awfully long time to wait for an order update, so I can imagine why you'd be concerned! Like you, I'd expect updates to provided in a more timely fashion and would be disappointed in the event they were not.
    I was able to locate your account using the e-mail address you used to register for the forum and was able to confirm that your order is expected to ship sometime later today. We'll let you know as soon as tracking details are available, so please make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders for additional communication. Please also keep in mind that it can sometimes take several hours for UPS and USPS' respective tracking pages to reflect the latest information, so the package's progress may not be immediately viewable.
    Thank you for your patience and understanding!

  • When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover.  How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

    When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover.  How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

    Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy.  Chnaging the theme may change the layout  of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
    Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
    Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

  • No email for order I placed for pickup

    Hi,I placed an order for an Amazon Fire TV Stick yesterday to pick up at the Clarence, NY Store. When I completed the transaction, I got a page which thanked me for my order, but had no other information on it ( I checked out as a guest). In the past, I always got an immediate confirmation by email, followed later by an "order ready for pick up" email. Unfortunately, as of 23 hours later, I've still not received any confirmation or pickup emails for my order, but my credit card was charged for the transaction. Now what? Please advise. Ken

    Hi Ken –
    I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Amazon Fire Stick, but just can’t bring myself to pick one up since I’ve got another device like the roku or chromecast on every other TV I own. I know you must be anxious to get your new streaming stick, so I would be glad to help you get a status on it.
    I know we’ve been performing maintenance on our website over the past few evenings, and we were advised that some delays with confirmation emails could be a result. Using the email address you registered with our forums, I was able to find your order and I have sent you a private message with your order details. To view your private message, sign into the forum and click the envelope on the top right corner of the page.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions I can answer for you, 

  • Never receive Order Ready for Pickup notifications.

    For the second order in a row, I received an email stating: Please wait to pick up your order
    We will send another e-mail notifying you when your order is ready for pickup. This notification will arrive in less than 45 minutes, as it takes us just a little time to get items ready for pickup in our stores. …but never receive any follow-up email stating the order is ready.  Logging into BB website, the first thing shown under Orders is "Order In Process", which implies it’s still not ready.  However, clicking on the order number shows that the order is Ready for Pickup. I sent an email about not being notified of order pickup status back in December and never received the courtesy of a response.  Best Buy needs to get their order notification system fixed.  I will not place any further orders with Best Buy until I receive communication on how this problem is being addressed. BTW- the bestbuy.com domain is whitelisted in my spam filter and it is not being caught in any filters.

    Hello jhalderman,
    Thank you for writing to us about your experience with our in-store pickup program. I regret that you've not received notifications for your last couple of orders and I apologize for any inconvenience that you've incurred as a result.
    In looking into your situation, I noted that a reply was sent to your recent email message. As stated in our reply, the issue has been escalated as of this morning. It's my understanding the there is currently not a problem with notifications affecting a great number of customers, but we will look into it and resolve any issue we discover.
    I'm grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concern.
    Sincerely,

  • Pre-order releases tomorrow and item has still not shipped. Stuck in Preparing Order

    Hello I preordered Final Fantasy Type-0 (PS4) back in September and chose in store pick up. Last week I changed my order from in store pickup to express shipping. I was told I would receive the game by Tuesday, however I still haven't gotten any e-mails confirming that the item has shipped and my order status still says my order in the "preparing order" stage. I'm very worried I won't be receiving my item on time now.

    Hello Flandy,
    Thank you for visiting the forum. Pre-orders are always a great way to ensure you get your favorite games by the release date. I can understand your concern that the order status is showing that it hasn't shipped yet, and you won't get it in time. 
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the order, and it looks like it has shipped. You should have receive an e-mail confirming this, along with the tracking information. 
    I hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting here on the forum!

  • I am a long-term user of Lightroom as a standalone product with a perpetual licence. As a retired person on limited income, it is very disappointing to me that Adobe have introduced the 'Creative Cloud' (CC) subscription service in order for me to be able

    I am a long-term user of Lightroom as a standalone product with a perpetual licence. As a retired person on limited income, it is very disappointing to me that Adobe have introduced the 'Creative Cloud' (CC) subscription service in order for me to be able to continue upgrading this excellent product. It will be for me too expensive at the minimum cost of £9 per month. The additional services that CC brings are personally of no relevance or usefulness. Adobe should be prepared to support existing users who are, like myself, non commercial, amateur photographers by giving them the simple opportunity to upgrade to Lightroom 6 as a standalone, perpetual licence product. As a member of a camera club I know my co-members who use Lightroom are equally disappointed by this move to a subscription-only service.

    That is possible, John, but it is only speculation on your part. Might, not will.

    There is a "Lightroom 6" upgrade available for US $79 if you have a valid license for any of the earlier versions. From what I can tell, the only difference between Lightroom 6 Full, Lightroom 6 Upgrade and LightroomCC is in the license. The download file is the same.
    Other differences - with CC you get LrMobile/LrWeb and they throw in a free copy of Photoshop too.
    Yes, but when I bought my standalone license and clicked on the "Download" button it took me to the LightroomCC page. The downloaded file is named Lightroom 6, but in the CC app the installed program is LightroomCC (2015).

  • How long does it take for a store to process an online order for store pick up

    Hello,
    I placed an order for a Macbook Pro on November 11, 2014. Scheduled an in store pick up where Best Buy estimated pick up date is November 14. I didn't receive the email or text to pick up the item, so I decided to call 1-800-best-buy to see if I can get the new estimated pick up date. I was told by the representative the laptop is actually already at the store, and waiting for me to pick it up. I called the store to make sure, and was told that I can pick it tomorrow morning. I called in today was placed on hold for around 15 minutes. Decided to call 1-800-best-buy again, and found out that it will take another 3-5 days before I get my laptop. I asked the representative to change the pick to another store that has the laptop available right now. It was change since around 10 am in the morning. I called the store to make sure that they got my order, the Manager told me that once the truck deliver more laptop. I will be able to get mine, and I should call in the afternoon to check on the availablity. I called around 5 pm to check, and was told that even if there is a laptop. I would still need to wait until best buy process my order. Called 1-800-best-buy again, and was told that Apple usually take 3-4 for hours to verify the information. Right now, my order status is still "Preparing Order".
    My Questions: How long will it take for Best Buy to finish Preparing Order?
    Why does it show on the website that if I order by 8 PM I wil be able to pick up the laptop today. Meanwhile, the store pick up was transfered since 10 am this morning, and at 10 PM tonight still nothing.
    If I cancel my order, will I get all of my reward zone certificates back?

    Hello sourlime,
    Welcome to the forum. I'm not a big online shopper, but when I do order something, I expect it to be an easy, painless transaction. It sounds like you had some troubles with your order not being available on the estimated pick up date, and I sincerely apologize for any frustration you encountered.
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate your order, and was glad to see you were finally able to pick it up. I do appreciate you taking the time to visit the forum, and I assure you I will be documenting your comments for review. If there is anything else you need assistance with, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for posting here on the forum.

  • Is there a specific time of day that the BTO iMacs become available for pickup?

    As I am sure many people can relate to, I find myself hitting the refresh screen on my Apple order page awaiting the arrive of a built-to-order 27" iMac (3.4 GHz/ 32GB memory/ 3TB fusion/ 680MX graphics). Question for people with an inside scoop.... do the custom macs arrive a specific time of day (many retailers have scheduled deliveries at specic times during the day). The reason I ask is because if my Mac is only going to become "available for pick-up" in the morning, I will know that after... let's say 10am.. there is no reason for me to keep checking because I will know it won't be showing up on this specific business day, if it hasn't already. Any insight on how this works? Thanks fellow Apple fans!

    Goodness gracious.... Not even 5 minutes after I replied to you, my item became available for pickup! It's like they were listening in! haha !

  • Prepare file for printing

    I've been using Ps for quite a while now, but recently I had to expand my work to Illustrator as well. I am pretty much a newb when it comes to it though, and recently I had to send some logos to a printing company, in order for them to laser-print the logos on some pens. They replied back to me, saying that the logos needed to be "broken into curves" before they could go ahead and print them.
    I have no idea what that means, and I've been on Google since early this morning, looking for an answer.
    Can anyone help?

    The grads are likely to be problematic. The printing method may be foil-based, transfer-based, or screen printing, which often require line art (artwork free of halftone dots), especially at small reduction sizes. That's one reason why it is commonly best to avoid contone artwork (grads, blends, raster-based tones) in proper logos.
    And it's one possible reason why the imprinter insists on its being "broken into curves" (a very poorly stated requirement). He probably means having all the elements provided as closed paths so he can apply solid fills. (Text converted to paths; nothing in the clover leaf being dependent upon overlapping objects, for example if the white in the clover leaf is actually done by separate white-filled paths.)
    Generally speaking, you don't want an output house having to modify your files. You should consider it your responsibility to deliver files suitable for the intended repro method. It is quite common that the technicians working at an output house may be experts in their particular media, but know next to nothing about preparation of the artwork files (as is suggested by the poorly-stated requirement).
    That's why "as far as I know" doesn't cut it. An office copier is a "laser printer." But obviously, you can't run a writing pen through an office copier to have it imprinted.
    There are, however, many writing pen models commonly used in imprinted specialty marketing which involve a paper insert behind a clear pen barrel. The imprint is just printed on paper, and can be printed with ordinary "laser printing" devices.
    At the other end of the spectrum, it is also quite common in imprinted specialty marketing to employ what is technically a laser engraver which actually uses a laser beam to etch a design into a metal pen barrel, or to expose a light-fixed coating.
    If there is one, provide a web link to the specific vendor and the specific pen model you are trying to design for.

  • Status ready for pickup but item is not in store??

    Pre-ordered Hardline Deluxe (PS4).  My order details says it's ready to be picked up in store (Montebello, CA - 1537).  I go to the store location and the sales rep says they haven't recieved any Deluxe Editions.  I was instructed to return later or Friday. (3 days from now). How does this happen with a pre-order?
    I called another location and they have received their allotment of Deluxe Editions (Glendora, CA).
    Should I cancel my current order and try another location?
    Is it possible to transfer the purchase to the Glendora, CA location and have them save a copy for me for pickup?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello ZiGMoN,
    I’m not much of a gamer myself, but my younger brother sure is, and he is quite excited to get his hands on Battlefield Hardline Deluxe. It’s all he can talk about, so I know he’d be devastated if didn’t get his copy on release day.  There are times when circumstances outside of our control can cause unexpected delays though, and I’m sorry to hear this might have been the case for you.
    To see if I might be able to honor your request and modify your order for in-store pickup at our Glendora, CA store, I pulled up your account using the information attached to your forum profile. Thankfully, I see your concerns reached our phone customer care team, and they successfully changed the store location attached to your order. As such, I’m happy to report that our Glenda location has your order ready for pickup.  While we should be able to hold your order until March 25th, please feel free to visit the store at your earliest convenience.
    If you have any further questions or concerns for us, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll be glad to help.

  • Order stuck in preparing order

    i purchased http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-desktop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-2tb-hard-driv...  on saturday night around 7 and it went to preparing order and i thought first thing monday it would ship out, now being tuesday it is still stuck in preparing order status it is supposed to arrive tomorrow and if it doesnt get here tomorrow you wont ever see me buying anything again at best buy.

    Hello brandonmlong,
    That looks like a sweet PC! I can certainly understand your anxiousness to receive it and get started on it with work and play! I'm disappointed to read that read that it doesn't seem to have shipped yet and I apologize for any inconvenience that you may be enduring as a result.
    There are numerous reasons that an order may not ship right away, including processing or shipping from a partner vendor directly to you. I'd like to look into the status of your order in more detail, but will need some additional information to do so. If you will please send me a private message that includes your order number, full name, and telephone number, I will begin researching the situation for you.
    Thank you for bringing your concern to my attention!

  • Change delivery method for my pre-order for MGS V CE?

    I have preordered the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - Collector's Edition for PS4 in March. What I didn't realize at that time is I will be out of the country from 8/24 to 9/6, which means there will be nobody at my place to receive the delivery on 9/1. I was wondering if I could put the order on hold so I could pick it up at a local store on 9/7 or could I ship it to another address (i.e. my friend's place) so it wouldn't get returned and get cancelled. Thanks you.

    Hello buyao531,
    Thank you for taking the time to sign up for the forum and connect with us!
    We may have a couple options available, but it really depends on if your local Best Buy store is still accepting pre-orders for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.  Your pre-order would be held for 8 days if we are able to successfully change your pre-order from shipping to in-store pickup.  To gather some additional information from you and discuss our options, I will be sending you a private message.  You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the little yellow envelope icon at the top of the pate.  I look forward to further speaking with you.
    I hope that you enjoy the rest of your Thursday.

    If placed on Apple's online store, you can change/modify your order up to the point where your order is labeled "Preparing for Shipment". Just login to the store, bring up your order & modify there.
