Brenners Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Did anyone pre-order the blue one at bestbuy... (I snagged the white one at amazon, thank you), but needed the blue one too...and got an email today saying that it's back ordered, and won't ship for 1-2 weeks...however it's still available for pre-order. So I am on hold with them....I know people are there because someone already answered. But I am nervous because if I don't end up getting this order from them...my son will be all upset when his sister gets hers... I never pre-order this kind of stuff anyone have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenners Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just so you all know...I just got done talking with Bestbuy....they were very nice but could not guarantee we would get the bundle..so I cancelled the order.... so going to wait on TRU tonight or hopefully target in the morning .....

ukfan78 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) I preordered mine last night from Best Buy. I did get a back order notice, but it shows an estimated arrival of December 1-9th. I don't know how it can't be a bundle though because they are selling us a metallic blue DSi and that is only available in the bundle!?!?! Now I don't know if I should be looking for this bundle when I go out in a few hours or not! I guess I will try to call them.

dd50 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If they are on back order do they charge you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenners Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 No, but they could NOT guarantee that you would get them in time for Christmas OR at all...so I had her cancel it...because she said if it's telling you backordered it should not still say available on our site.... that made me nervous...

ukfan78 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I called them and they could not tell me if the item was actually backordered or just not available yet since the release date is not official until tomorrow. My "gift card" was already being processed, so I will be charged the $20 even if I cancel right now. So I just left the order for now and I will see what the status is tomorrow. And if I find another one in the morning, I will go ahead and buy it just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gezzmom70 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Surprisingly, both my Target AND my Best Buy still had the bundles available yesterday afternoon. The one I ordered from Amazon had already shipped, so I didn't get one. But I was surprised that both stores still had stock (more white ones than blue ones, but each had both).

Kim3498 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I ordered the blue one from Best Buy on Thanksgiving day. I also received a Backordered notice saying 1-2 weeks. The customer service rep I talked to told me that they were appearing that way because they were a pre-order. I was seriously getting nervous, but got an e-mail today with the tracking number. It has already been shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
