    Apple can get Mavic's fast

    I placed an order through Apple on 12/7 (estimated delivery was 6-8 weeks when I placed the order), and they charged my card today. Keeping an eye on it to see if status changes to shipped...

    Best Buy Orders

    After they unceremoniously cancelled my order, and couldn't re-instate it, I told the customer service rep that I didn't want their gift card offer. I felt for her, and her supervisor that I talked to, because none of this was their fault, but BB customer service was ill prepared to deal with...

    Best Buy Orders

    Well, to whichever one of you gets my Mavic that BB cancelled off my order this morning, I hope it flies true for you. No more pre-orders for me, and no more business with BB for me. Awful pre-order process and order status communication. I'll watch for things to catch up and for vendors to...

    Best Buy Orders

    And now BB is telling me there's nothing they can do to re-instate it. I'm SOL according to them. They claim to have tried to charge my card on 12/5, and retried 48 hours later, but they have not sent me any communications about payment issues, nor did my bank until this morning. Not looking...

    Best Buy Orders

    This is unbelievable. My 11/4 order tried to process this morning, the pre-auth they did on my card last week when I updated shipping (which triggered a fraud alert by my bank) dropped off Monday, so they re-authorized again this morning, and that too triggered a fraud alert by my bank. BB...

    Best Buy Orders

    It seems a high percentage of people in this thread have multiple orders placed. Interesting thinking about what that is doing to overall demand and shipping delays. Just from this thread it seems like there could be a 20-30% 'over demand' happening from that alone. We need more people to...

    Best Buy Orders

    I ordered on 11/4, and I resigned myself to the fact that I'd get it when I get it. My issue at this point is that it seems like there's just total chaos on the BB end. Not created by them, but apparently not managed well by them either. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to their shipping...

    Best Buy Orders

    They included that memory card on my order for zero cost when I placed it on 11/4. Interestingly, they shipped that card immediately. They didn't hold it like the shutterfly promo item. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Best Buy Orders

    Yep, got the same email this morning. Still not cancelling though, as I can't find any other vendor promising anything sooner, and I knew that there were huge delivery issues when I ordered. Would be great to have prior to Christmas, but I won't hold my breath.

    Best Buy Orders

    Mine says backordered, preparing, get it by Wed Nov 30. I don't think that get it by date has much meaning in this case. For the record, I did change my shipping option to 1 day, arrive by 12/1, but I am not expecting that either. I don't, as of yet, have any email from BB indicating they are...

    Best Buy Orders

    I'm not convinced that another vendor will be faster. Best Buy shipped a bunch in the last few days, as did other vendors, but if you look at other vendors now, they are estimating late Dec or mid-Jan ship dates, or simply say not available. And that is looking at vendors that have already...

    Best Buy Orders

    Mine just went to 'preparing', but also went to 'backordered' at the same time.

    Yeah, so where do you live again? I can go 'keep an eye on it' for you... ;)

    Best Buy Orders

    Or to Best Buy, apparently... Can't really see that they'd deliver a product before charging your credit card. They did a pre-auth on my card when I ordered it, but they didn't hold the funds (which is the right way to do it). I could see them not being fully aware of shipping details if they...
