I ordered mines from bestbuy the only email I received was the first time I did the preorder
With Best Buy Mobile pre-orders, you will receive one email when you place the pre-order, and another on the day it is available for pick up (in this case, the 19th.) Then head on down to your store and pick up the phone! Make sure you grab the Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, and at least give the Buy Back program some consideration.
Even if you plan on keeping your phone all through the 2 years, you'd still get back $150 (based off the full retail price) when you go to trade it in. This comes on a Best Buy gift card, so you can use it anywhere throughout the store, INCLUDING on the purchase of your next phone!
Anyone have any theories on why the best buy date says 2/13 instead of 2/19?

thats probably the day THEY receive it. legally they cant give it to you until the 19th.
Does your order status from BB say that the case and phone are backordered? I hope I didn't preorder it too late to where I'll be delayed in receiving mine longer than the earlier orders.
You expecting them to magically ship your phone early?

Sometimes our computers show two dates. One is listed as an in-stock date, and the other is listed as a street date. This is commonly set to prevent someone from selling a phone/game/anything earlier than intended by the manufacturer.
Jimmer411, don't appreciate your sarcasm in that response.
I was just wondering if the other BB preorders are currently showing the same backordered status as mine is. There's about a one-week window where people have been placing their orders (my order being on the latter end), so it's not out of the question that BB has ran out of their allotment for their initial shipments.
I can also understand how since these are preorders (and therefore not in stock), that BB would therefore indicate the status of the item as on backorder until they're allowed to ship them out on or around the 17th.
Either way, I'm fine with whatever the outcome is and am not expecting any magical early shipment.

I wasn't responding to your post and I wasn't being sarcastic. BB and AT&T made it pretty clear when the phone would be shipped/sold. I wouldn't expect any email after the order confirmation until it ships or is canceled from lack of funds.
It actually isn't unheard of for preorders to ship/arrive a day or two early.
I wish you all the best of luck!

What? I preordered the EVO 3D @ BestBuy and they said to come in the day it's released, NOTHING else. What is this appointment business I keep reading on about? Should I call them and schedule an activation? (lol)
Did they take your number down? They are supposed to call you a day or two before release to schedule the pick up appt. You should be okay but follow up with them on Thursday if you haven't heard anything by then

Called my Best Buy where I reserved today. The girl stated that she would call on Wednesday to setup the appointment. I was first on the list btw.
I went into my Best Buy and asked the guy if I should preorder it. He said it wasn't even worth it and to just come in on Friday... Anyone know why he said this? They just not have many preorders or what? I am pumped tho!
As of lunch today when i was called to schedule an appointment i was told that there were only 9 pre-orders and alot more in stock

Yea I asked the guy and he's like don't even worry about it. He even asked the other guy working with him and he is the one who said its not even worth it. Hopefully I still get one. I'm gonna get there at like 9:50 since they open at 10 here. I assume I will get one. If not that'll be upsetting. I'm excited. Been using my Hero for like a year now and am so tired of it
F*CK best buy. I called them today and they said they haven't called anybody yet to make appointments and I'm not guaranteed to get one even tho I pre ordered when they first started the secret pre order. They said they have to see how many they get so I asked what number am I and he said he doesn't know and can't tell me. Assholes lol. I'm gonna keep calling and show up Friday and if I don't get one I'm gonna kick there table over. Hopefully somebodies there with a evo3d and could record me going to jail in 3d.

I just got a call from Best Buy. They wanted to set up an appointment with me. Al though I had to say I couldn't come in on Friday and asked if I could come in another day and they said I could but I wouldn't need an appointment. They only do appointments on the 24th. I haven't recevied my student loan yet (yes I use my student loan money for an Evo 3D) so I can't really afford the phone. I really hope they stop being so lazy and actually process my application. Lazy government worker.
Well, the post got outta hand, but just wanted to say that my BB in SoCal did call for appointments.

Lazy government worker > kid using student loan money to buy a phone
Just sayin'
I called BB to see if I had missed their call. They said they haven't received the shipment yet. They took my appt time and said they were getting 30 phones and when I signed up I was # 13 on the list, two weeks ago
The only call I got from them was last night the guy called and asked if I wanted an invisible shield screen protector preinstalled.
I declined and asked if they would call to set up and appointment and he said no. They were opening at 8am on Friday and just to come in anytime on the 24th and pick mine up. He said they were in the process of putting the preordered ones aside and were going to install the screen protectors for people who wanted them(for an extra charge) over the next couple days so they would have time to cure.
BestBuy called me yesterday and I scheduled my appointment today for friday @ noon. (was the earliest I could do it).

Given the fact that my dad and brother pay 50% income tax and an additional 25% tax on everything they buy, I see nothing wrong loaning money _WITH INTEREST_ from the Swedish government to pay for my expenses. Somethings got to give after paying so much tax.

They called me this afternoon around 1. Set up my appointment right when they opened since I'm preorder #1.
I am having trouble believeing it, but it's true. I JUST got off with a supervisor at ABES:
Just got off my THIRD call with Dishonest ABE.
They don't have a SINGLE KEYBOARD DOCK IN THEIR WAREHOUSE OF EITHER COLOR!!! I don't know about tablets, but I had:
Call 1: "Processing" should be all set
Call 2: "Uh, we ill have them in 4-6 days, should go out Tuesday Wednesday of last week" - This was where I get REALLY concerned.....
Call 3: - Supervisor: The guy TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE THEM, but it fell through, and we don't know WHEN we are going to have them."
"Then why did you put "AVAILABLE" on your site, instead of Coming soon, pre-order - 4-6 days, etc..."
"Cause he said.... " I was like oh **** YOU I am so sick of these BS lies. You put AVAILABLE when you HAVE THEM... NOT BEFORE ****head!!!
It's BS. They either have NONE or got a few and freaking oversold just like Amazon, Best Buy and the rest of the free world. Is Asus distribution channel run by insane asylum escapees or WHAT????? The one common element here os ASUS. Certainly all of these retailers didn't go eveil overnight or something (though some ALWAYS were, BestBuy)
I am LIVID... Now out comes my poison email to ANOTHER CEO AND CORPORATE OFFICES... WHY must I go through this
The rude **** ended with, so: I'm gonna cancel your order anyway, even if you tell me not to (I said, you want to repeat that for my recording, I want to make sure it's clearly heard.
Sorry, I double posted, but wanted to help stop people from ordering here. We have had enough of ths from the rest of the channel, no need to stay bent over for more... MAN!
Thank god Citi declined my transaction.

Think I'm going to find another source and cancel on these vermin.
As far as I can tell no merchant has them in-stock right now so it's really ASUS who's slow on the delivery of these. They obviously weren't shipping keyboards in conjunction with the tablets.
Just can't trust a company that says "Of Maine" yet is in NYC
My order status changed to "sent to warehouse" last night. Having no idea what that means, I called, and was told that they have it, it is being prepped to ship today, will be sent tomorrow AM, and I should have my dock on Wednesday.

Fwiw, I ordered Thursday, immediately after seeing the "in stock" thread. That is likely the difference. I do not understand this manager saying it is not there though, uless he meant that it is coming in today, and the OP's place in line didn't make the cut for place in line versus items received. The swearing probably didn't help either, even though I fully empathize on the frustration level. :-\

Don't know where to go from here. No body had any in-stock last I checked. Gamestop had no date, and neither did Amazon.
Like a few others, I ordered late Thurs night when the status was "available ". My credit card was charged Friday, I was notified it was "in process" for 1-3 days, now today my status shows "shipped to warehouse ". I am confident in will get mine in a day or two. Am I pleased I paid $40 for express shipping and it's going to take 4 or 5 business days? No. But I think did not read where it clearly states it cn take 1-3 days to process so that is on me.
I'm sorry for those of you who ordered when it said "available " and aren't getting yours. I blame their stock tracking/ordering software more than the company being "dishonest ", I really doubt they tried to intentionally screw anyone. They actually seem like one of the few able to make deliver and are being up front about when they will get future stock.

Suckage
What is the status of your order, was your cc charged, did/does it show as shipped to warehouse?
I bought my pad off of newegg.com last thursday. They have been showing up periodically, only when they actually have stock availible. In most states they don't charge sales tax and they ship very quick. I'm seeing only the grey docking station listed on their site at the moment but it is out of stock. All you can do is keep checking periodically as they will show up but sell really fast. But at least if you see it's in stock and buy it, you'll get it. This is one of the most reputable sites on the net.
No idea, I just called them and told Mike ( I guess...ext. 2 from the email) I wanted to cancel...
Go thru phone menu, hit ext. 2
Hold
Abes...hello ages of Maine

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No "oversold" email yet and it shows shipped to warehouse.
It's not like I'm out anything if it does cancel - I've not seen any others available or I would have ordered more for friends/backup anyway. If it gets canceled I get my money back and continue the search and wait. If I'd ordered the damn Grey to begin with this wouldn't be a problem, I would have both from BB, but I ordered champagne.

don't cancel, you probably are going to get it.
I never seen the "shipped to warehouse" status, I only got "In Process" when I ordered.
I'm not canceling mine either despite receiving the two emails that they oversold. In part because he still gave an end time of when they will get more in, while the other online retailer don't provide any info when they will get more in.

perhaps us over here in Blighty are not so hard done by after all!! Whilst we are yet to get the TFP we will get it with the dock and our retailers do not normally tale 2-3 days to process an order as we can order of some sites up until 8-10pm and still get next day delivery.
Now I am seeing the positives of living on a "small island" as Bill Bryson would say.
ps by the time we get ours; ICS will allready be installed and we will be looking forward to jammy dodgers, jam roly poly or Javvarisi Avul Payasam

Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

Eh this is kinda bleh...
I pre-ordered from sprint and called them about 8 times trying to cancel so i could pre order from wirefly. ALL of them said i cant, only until its ABOUT to ship out then i can cancel it...
6 out of 8 of them kept saying how they dont have a date but its getting to the warehouse to be packaged on may 16th.
I doubt we will get it before the 18th. It will prob ship the 16th and come 2 days later in the mail on the 18th. =/
sorry to be a Debby downer!
Got 2 preordered. Would be awesome if they come this week.
lol, Sprint's order status message changes like 4 times a day. This must be some kind of running gag they have going at their office...
When I called to confirm my ID for my order on Monday, he said preorders would be guaranteed delivery the day of or 1 day before the release date (depending on location). This seems to fall in line with that so I'm happy
who knows with them, just talked to my friend at the corp store on the campus and she said this to me
"Pre-order gets you out of the hassle in the store and waiting. That's about it."
damn, well guess ill just hope it comes in sooner than later
Yea, I had gone into Sprint to talk to them about it and what they had said was it would arrive one day before or on the release day. However, with the iPhone 4s, they had so many pre-orders that they had arrived one day after launch day, so we will just have to wait and see.
With the Galaxy Nexus, it launched on a Sunday, and people had them in hand on Friday and Saturday. They usually do a pretty good job of trying to get them out before the official release date.
I know Best Buy and a couple other 3rd party retailers said they weren't going to release before the 18th, but I don't mind the wait. It'll give me a few more days with my EVO before I turn it into a dev phone

No problem. Also FYI while I was on the phone with Sprint I asked about my activation fee and he initially said that I would have to pay it. I explained that I ordered through sprint even though I could have gotten the phone much cheaper through a 3rd party and I would appreciate it if they would wave the fee to help offset the cost difference. He put me on hold for 1 minute and said the activation fee has been waved.
When I pre-ordered with Sprint, all I had to pay for, besides the phone, was shipping. No sales tax and no activation fee. The only thing that upset me was they wouldn't let me upgrade my line. I'm eligible 6/1, from when I bought my 3D. They wanted me to pay full price or wait. I then told I'd upgrade another line. I was looking at my account on line and told then the phone number for my Airave. He checked the eligibility and congratulated me. I couldn't believe it.

Sprint's warehouse and shipping are all managed by UPS. Their warehouse is literally at the end of the runway where the plane takes off. My Evo 3d preorder shipped at 12:30 am and I received it the same day it went on the plane. There is a video on UPS's website about this.

Many people who pre ordered the EVO 3D received the phone before release date. I remember being jealous and wishing I ordered through sprint instead of best buy. I don't see why the LTE would be any different. I'm planning/hoping to receive the phone next Wednesday or Thursday as they typically do overnight shipping.
I ordered from best buy on the 25th at like 3pm est and mine still has not shipped. I just called and guy could not tell me anything except that it could be on back order ????
Mine lists Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: April 1 - April 9

When did you order yours ? Maybe they are just out until the 1st ? I called the guy couldnt tell me anything just asked if I received a back order email which I didnt so it might still ship soon or on the 1st. I think they are running out on at&t web site too so it might just take a couple days, yes it sucks but what can you do. Maybe we can hear good news from others who bought on best buy maybe theirs has shipped.
Any updates?

If I can find it somewhere else, I'll cancel and re-order, but I'm not expecting anyone else to be faster. I wish I could get the Verizon one without their service and just unlock it (I'm extremely impatient..)
Edit: in the AT&T orders thread people are receiving theirs already or have it shipped. I went ahead and ordered from there as well. I will cancel whichever doesn't ship first.
The Verizon phones are already SIM unlocked outta the box. I believe allnof their phones are but only H+ compatible. No LTE

Not on my still shows the same I log in to my best buy account a few times a day hoping to see a ship confirmation but find nothing but disappointment. I thought about calling them again and complaining about it because I think the best buy web site still has the phone for purchase so why is that if they still have not shipped mine from 3-25-14 at 3pm est ???? Maybe they might discount my price or throw something in but they dont really seem to care when you call as they offer to cancel your order like I really want to do that and end up biting my tongue because I feel that they should not be selling the phones if they dont even have them...

The verizon ones have lte frequencies that I do believe only work for verizon, at least not for at&t, Tmobile or Sprint. I think they work internationally possibly though. The thing about verizon phones is though that verizon wont let htc dev unlock your bootloader, so for the verizon model you wont get root until someone figures out s-off for the htc m8 which I think it may not be long before someone does it sounds like the devs are close to cracking it, once they do you can root the verizon model also. Another reason to hate big red other then them being a holes about everything especially not competing with prices of other networks, hopefully it will be their downfall and they will get taken over by a company with business sense and not a company that wants to squeeze evey penny out of you that they can and think they deserve it...
I definitely recommend ordering from att. It shipped and made it to my city the next day (was marked to deliver on a week day and it was Saturday so I have to wait till Monday. ) so if you want to try it could be faster.
I ordered the Gunmetal Gray from Best Buy on Tuesday when I ordered it said sips in 3-5 days. I just called BB and they told me that it was back ordered, they said if it does not come back in stock by April 8th then they would automatically cancel my order. He did say that they are expecting it to come back in stock by April 8. It would be nice if I didn't have to call them to find out that it was back ordered.

Tell me about it. I wish I could just cancel and get from at&t web site, but due to personal reasons I need to purchase from best buy. It does suck though big time.

I just ordered mine a few minutes ago, and it said estimated delivery April 7-19.
Should I be worried that this is a new batch that's gonna be locked?
Still waiting for mine :/
I just walked in to best buy and bought mine. Amber gold I'm happy as hell lol

When I got my order confirmation on the 29th it said: "Estimated arrival date: April 3 - April 15"
I ordered two phones, one for my wife and one for myself. Fedex delivered one package today with one phone. Both packages were scanned in to the local drop center at 5:11am this morning. One was scanned onto a truck at 9:30 and the other one has no activity at all. They have no idea where the other package is. And it being Saturday evening, they said that they're unlikely to get it figured out until sometime on Monday morning.
I was so looking forward to getting the phone and setting it up tonight.
:crying:

Well you got yours, it looks to me like your wife's is missing!
It sounds like internal theft. Check Craigslist maybe. ?

I never thought of that. Fortunately it was never delivered, so it's not my responsibility. They are saying that it'll probably come on Tuesday. We'll see if that happens.
But you do bring up a good point. I should probably contact Best Buy and let them know what's going on. If it was stolen, it's their problem. Well, theirs and Fedex.

I questioned him, but never got that personal.
He even showed me his package sheet showing only one package.
they are getting slicker and slicker on covering their tracks...lol but seriously, it might just end up finding it's way to you next business day. If not, fault is on them. Once it's on your country's soil, they cant call foul play on loss/theft and deny responsibility. they acctualy had it in their depot. U'll either get a refund or a new one i would think. You just need to harass the shipper now.

I've been harassing them non-stop for most of the day. They told me on the phone that they only deliver Tuesday through Saturday for this type of Fedex delivery. So the next chance that I have to get it is Tuesday afternoon. If it's not delivered by then, then the harassing starts again.
Hope i wont go through this my self. But then again,i payed mine with paypal so usually they are the muscle.
Since its the international variant, im reading up on how i can change the csc to a canadian variant although i cant flash the rom since obviously its exynos vs snapdragon.
trying to keep busy while waiting for it to ship....
also ordered a couple cases and screen protectors to test out. its very hard to pick only one of each and be satisfied with the results. theres always some weird fitting issue or simply trash quality that makes the device feel sub pare.

What if your wife is just setting up a prank with the Fedex guy, to then have Aston Kutcher jump out the bushes and your being featured on his 1st episode to his comback of "Prank'd" but before Aston uploads it to MTV your wife uploads it to YouTube and it gets millions of views bringing in revenue and being able to pay off both phones with the YouTube money and win a chance to see the Note 9 google edition prototype running android Oreo at the Samsung Lab.

Ya know, that's another thing that I never thought of.
Man that sucks I would be pissed. But what could you do? Hope you get it soon it's a great phone.
They didn't lose it I think. Same thing happened to me. Th3y said they couldn't find it, but found out it was locked away in some container and it was delivered the following Monday. Just wait for it is all I can say

Why would they not deliver the package on Monday? That doesn't make sense to me, express delivery should happen any business day of the week. Maybe that's why mine says delivery Tuesday even though it's in the local sort facility already.

The guy that I talked to at FedEx called it "FedEx Home Delivery", and said it only runs between Tuesday and Saturday. It's probably the cheapest way that they could find to deliver it.
Interesting, FedEx Home Delivery is listed as Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m
Looks like no phone for me tomorrow, Tuesday it is
Same thing happened to me. Supposed to be overnighted to me last Thursday. Arrived is Memphis depot, from there, nobody knows where it is. I asked them how is that possible, that's their core business, shipping and being able to track the shipments. Anyway, I told them to send it back when/if they find it. Fedex is crap!!
Don't feel like you're alone. Fedex has lost my Note 5 I sent in as my trade in. I have verified it was picked up by the driver, but has since disappeared, there's not even any tracking information. Fedex is supposedly researching, but I don't expect it to be found. That puts me out a phone, plus the $425 trade in credit with Samsung. Soooo pissed right now....
kind the same happened to my friend Note 8, he had it hold at UPS location for pickup but when he show up to pick up the phone, they can not locate it.
