I'd do it now. Nobody is getting their pre-orders before they cancel your order due to inactivity with the progress of your pre-order... 4 days compared to unknown is worth letting go of the $200 gift card. Might be the reason they offered it in the first place, knowing this was going to happen and keep you from cancelling...

Yeah I'm going to order from Samsung and see what comes first, bets its Samsung. I get just about the same rate with better payoff terms although no gift card sucks. Probably wouldn't get that anyway seeing as so far nada. Will be last time I shop through Best Buy, won't be long before they go the way of most B&Ms.

Easier said then done. Best buy takes A LONG time to return ur money! And I've tried ordering the phone from Samsung 37 times. They cancel it after they removed the mowlney and claim they can't verify my information! Even thought it is all correct! And the money was removed! So no thanks I tried pre-ordering it the moment it was announced on the 2/09 !! Still canceled every time ! They canceled it so many times my bank flag it as fraud! And I had to jump through hoops. If I cancel I'm buying a 1tb iPhone 13 pro max!!! Screw this hoop jumping for a 1711$ phone.

I only paid for tax

Lucky. I paid the full retail of the phone. And still nothing. Lady at best buy said even some of the people who pre order it, hasn't received it. But I'll just wait. I got 3 case, 2 glass screen protectors , glass camera screen protector, 25w charger block. Samsung watch 4. All ready when it comes. But oh well I am waiting on the steam dock as well. But thst won't be here till q2. Which would be nice if samsung did something like that. And if they canceled my order imma be steaming mad!!! 1711$ is no joking matter. I've waited this long!

According to the best buy that I just talk to. They are waiting on Samsung to make more. Lol 😆 lord imam get a rushed device that's gonna have issues lol. Thank goodness for protection plans.!! It will be return if it has issues!

The problem with that excuse is that samsung has been shipping new phones out since release. So obviously they had plenty initially and yet we did not have any from best buy when we pre-ordered. So that is just a bunch of garbage

[Barryjasmine90]

That's what I think!!! As samsung is claiming they have it in stock!!! Idk what best buy is on!!! But it's not looking good for them business wise! Cause I for sure will not be doing business with them again!!

So I ended up ordering it through Samsung and says on Samsung getting the phone by the 28th. We'll see, at this point I'm just happy to actually have a date. Samsung's offer is better too. With everything said and done I end up paying less even with the gift card offer. Plus $100 in Google Play money. 

Best Buy pre-order nightmare, lesson learned. Live and learn, you can only blame the pandemic for so long. Truth is that the buyflow process is broken and their database management team has their work cut out for them properly tuning their systems to accurately predict availability of a product. Maybe take a page out of Amazon's book, they hardly ever fail to deliver on time.
