[Official] Best Buy GS3 thread
- Thread starter Gadgetz
- Start date
The release date has been pushed till next week. As soon as we get pre orders u will know first before the store employees. We as a store do not have a way to check a tracking number or something. District manager on the other hand probably has info but to not set up false hope they are just vague on what we can tell you. Even they don't tell us anything. I would just say wait for the email because as soon as the store receives them, it will send an automatic email that phone is ready for pick up.

This is exactly what I just heard from my local store... Minus the "next week" part. Too bad, I was really hoping to have my new toy to play with tonight as I avoid the heat outside.

Just called my store. They said with confidence: "They were shipped today, we will receive them tomorrow morning...should be available around 11am or so."
Was told the same thing just now except they said id get an email when it was in store.

Is it true if you get the phone after the 28th you can't get the unlimited data plan ?
Are they receiving the phones through UPS or common carrier? Does anyone know?
The BB guy told me that they get their shipment at about 8 or 8:30am if that helps. I doubt UPS. You going to hijack the truck? Haha.
Haha. All day I have had this image in my head of some armored vehicle bringing in the phones and disgruntled pre-orderers banging on the vehicle as it gets a police escort.Lmao ill pay half retail if you do!
Jk

What Store are did you preorder? I'm on Frisco/McKinney border. I preordered at the store off 121. Stopped into day and they seem to think it'll be there tomorrow for preorders.I keep hitting refresh in my email inbox. Still nothing from Best Buy....

I preordered at Best Buy only because of the $50 Phone Freedom and the $120 giftcard that I have. I'll essentially not have to pay anything out of pocket since it was already $50 down to preorder. I'll get their insurance though and still keep insurance through sprint since Best Buy doesn't cover lost or theft.
So your going to pay 21 dollars a month? That seems foolish

Called my local BB here in NYC and they said they will be ONLY fulfilling pre-orders tomorrow. Hopefully it's true and I'll have my white s3 tomorrow.
narynv Washn.
Called the local BB here in Southern California and they didn't have any idea. I think she thought I wasn't a pre-order customer or something. At any rate, I think pre-orders will arrive/be sent out tomorrow with non pre-orders coming in on the 28th.

No luck at the Allen Park, MI store either. They had no clue. Said it could be tomorrow, could be as late as the end of the month. said they will call when it comes in.
Fail...
I leave on vacation for nine days on saturday. Sure would be nice to have it tomorrow.

That's exactly what I heard from my local Best Buy here in Sacramento....at least the one where I PO at. The other one had no clue. I hope this turns out to be true, I want my phone dammit!
UPDATE: I called a different BB about 20 min from the store I pre-ordered mine from. The gentleman on the phone was able to offer up more information than my first call to the other store. He told me that all Best Buy's should be receiving their pre-order shipments tomorrow and they will only sell to those who pre-ordered tomorrow. In addition, they were not provided tracking for the shipment so that is why they are not able to see anything in their system in regards to it, but they are expected to receive them tomorrow.
