There is a pre-order limit

I talked to Apple and the representative who I talked to said that it would be first come-first serve basis and there is a limit of how many customers pre-order. I hope he's wrong, because I won't be available when Apple starts receiving orders in the early morning.

He's right. Sorry.

  • 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

  • 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,

  • Pre-Order white iPhone 4?

  • Lost Pre-Order Receipt

    I pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto V for PC on Febuary 10th, back when I picked up my pre-orders for Evolve. Normally I keep all my pre-order receipts in a specific envelope, but I think this was one of a few times they stapled my pre-order receipt to the product page print out I brought in to easily reference what I wanted to pre-order.
    Long story short, I can't find the receipt anywhere, I found the pick up receipts for evolve the day I went in there to also pre-order GTA V, but can't for the life of me locate the one for GTA, I fear I may of accidentally tossed it when I got rid of the product page print out.
    Is there any way I can get another copy of the receipt prior to going in to pick up on the 14th?

    Hello Veroku_Chan,
    I used to have a pretty good filing system for my receipts, but somewhere along the way, I stopped keeping good track of them. It hasn't bit me yet, but one of these days I'm going to be in a pickle. You ask a great question and I'm very happy to help.
    Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed, I was able to locate your purchase history, but not the pre-order transaction in question, so I will need some additional information from you. Please watch for a private message from me with that request. To check your forum inbox, ensure that you have signed in with your user name and password, then click on the envelope icon in the upper right of this page.
    I look forward to working with you and am grateful that you wrote to us.

  • Can I go to an apple store to pre-order the iphone 4s

    I know this sounds like an asinine question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere.
    Is it possible to go to my local Apple store (yes, physical location) and go through the pre-order process there?
    I want to be able to ask questions about the continuity of my cell service/plan/etcetera before pressing 'purchase', and the best way for me would be to talk to a person in-store...but I don't want to waste my time going out there if I can't actually pre-order there after I ask my questions!
    Thanks!

    AFAIK, there are no "pre-orders" at any Apple store. Apple stores sell iPhones on a first come-first served basis. It is possible to order from Apple's online store for delivery at an Apple store. Bear in mind, pre-orders for delivery on 10/14 are sold out.

  • Pre-order wont download

    i pre-ordered an album but its not letting me download it. it says ive bought it but it wont let me download. after awhile an alert will come up saying "Your pre-order is ready to download" i click yes and then an alert comes up says "insignificant amount remaining" even though i already bought it. its extreamly frustrating because i pre-ordered it to get it right away and i would have been faster if i just bought it without pre-ordering. i have spent over three hours of my time trying everything; looking on all the support websites and links. it is now beyond frustrating that i now have to wait a number of days/weeks who knows. i cant even buy it again. it says on all the songs "purchased" but its like see through. please help it will be appreicated.

    Wow, and to think that I was the ONLY one who is currently experiencing this problem. It seems that we ALL are....well, those of us that pre-ordered Tamar Braxton's new album this is happening to. I've restarted itunes, reinstalled, went to the quick "purchased" link and to no avail. Just kept saying that it's "Purchased" but got nothing. I even looked in my account history and it's not there  BUT IS there in my Pre-orders (my only other recent purchase was "Rebellious Soul" by K. Michelle). Took a page out of your book and tried to cancel the Pre-Order to by the album normal but it won't even give me the option to buy it as well. The "Purchased" box is "grayed out". Never got the email notice about the preorder or anything. I don't recall anything of this nature happening before. Just like you all, I want this fixed as well. Seems we have a lot angry "Tamartians" here, Apple...fix it

  • Pre-order wont download now that it is available

    I preordered an album that became available today, but it won't download and I haven't recieved an email saying that it is available. When I sign in and go to the album it now says purchased instead of preordered but I am given no link to download the album. I tried cancelling the preorder, but to no avail. How do I download the album?

  • When do uk pre orders start for ipad 2 ?

    really want to order an ipad 2 so i can get it on the day of release , but no sign yet of pre orders .
    anybody know when pre orders are starting ???

    There may not be pre-orders at all, they are not offering them in the USA.
    It goes on sale in the UK on the 25th March and that is probably when the UK Apple Store will start to take orders.
    There are no pre-orders in the USA for the iPad, it goes on sale on the 11th March and that is when you can order one on the Apple Store, no reason to think Apple UK will do any different.
    My guess is that you can walk into an Apple Store on the 11th and buy one, or order one online on the 11th and it will be delivered within a few days if stock permits.

  • Release dates of pre-ordered movies.

    Does anyone know where we can get the information on release dates for pre-ordered items in iTunes?

    If the release dates are known then you see them by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, and under the Settings heading on your account's screen there should a 'Pre-orders' line with a 'Manage Pre-Orders' button/link to its right, click on that : About iTunes Store pre-orders - Apple Support

  • Is there anyone out there who pre-ordered on the 3rd and still has not received their iPhone???

    I pre-ordered on the third and received an email on the fourth saying my phone had shipped.  I checked FedEx with the tracking # Verizon provided and I still get the same status that I got on the 4th.  It says the order has been "initiated".  The next step would be "picked up", but here it is nine days after I pre-ordered and no phone!!!  Hasn't even shipped!!!
    Is there anyone who is experiencing the same problems???

    I have been going back forth with Verizon and UPS and Verizon is blaming UPS and told me it's out of their hands once it ships. UPS is saying they're doing their best to get the package back to NJ where I am.  I also tried cancelling my order with Verizon and was told it could not be cancelled because the package has shipped. I was told if I wanted another phone I'd have to pay for it again. No one knows where my phone is UPS says they have misrouted a trailer full of Iphones. I don't know how true that is.

  • Is there anyway to see what books I pre-ordered on my IPad?

    Is there anyway to see what books I pre-ordered on my IPad?

    Sure...
    1)  Open Itunes on your computer
    2) Cick on "store"
    3)  If you are not signed into your iTunes Account, using the "sign in" tab under the left hand side of the menu bar
    4) Click on "account" under your account name on the left hand side of the menu bar
    5) Go down to "settings" and click on Pre-orders.  Anything (for me books) that you have pre-ordered will be listed there.  Hope this helps.

    Hello KailaRy
    Check in your iTunes folder on your computer to find the files. If they are there, then drag on top of iTunes to import them in. If they are not there, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

  • I cannot find a store menu when I am on the "Store" screen on my mobile device. I pre-ordered an album and this menu is not anywhere. Is there even a menu on the mobile version? If so, where do I find it?

    Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone.  Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
