Heads up - Best Buy has the Oasis in stock much sooner than Amazon.. - Page 2

Mr. Goodbar · 04-28-2016, 03:08 PM

I had free expedited and supposed to be here Monday. Hoping it might come earlier, but I doubt it.

Well for the UK it was quicker to order from John Lewis and pick up in store than wait for Amazon to deliver.

I ordered a second one from Best Buy hoping for a better screen. This time I'm getting the Merlot case which is the one I wanted to start with. It was supposed to be available for pick up at the store on 5/4, but I just got an e-mail that it has shipped to the store and they will notify me when it is ready for pick up. My credit card has been charged so now I have both Oasis charges on there. Oops!

My free shipping date was also Monday so I paid extra to get it this week.

Tried to do the same thing after I placed the order, but it wouldn't let me change the shipping after the fact. Oh well, Monday isn't that far away.

Ordered from BB last night. Just notified it has shipped. Supposed to get tomorrow. Much better than September as Amazon promised.

Got my shipping notification this morning, ordered it Wednesday. Should be here on Monday. This is for the walnut. I ordered from amazon a week ago and it still has June 7th expected ship date. I think I'll wait until it arrives before canceling my Amazon order. I used the free shipping.

Edit: Oh, well, I just got my shipping email as well, and I'm using free shipping. Curious to see where it will be coming from since if it's shipping UPS Ground I could potentially get it more quickly. Cross my fingers!

I live out West. Mine shipped from Louisville, KY.

Thanks for letting us know! I ordered one earlier after I saw this 😊

Mr. Goodbar · 04-29-2016, 08:29 AM

Mine shipped from Louisville, KY as well. Should be here in Atlanta on Monday

Barty · 04-29-2016, 01:56 PM

Anyone sighted one in store?

badgoodDeb · 04-29-2016, 02:01 PM

My Best Buy's "in store" stock availabilty claims that they will have the Oasises on Saturday, 4/30. Tomorrow. I'm hoping to go look at one. Which may be a bad idea, cuz I might walk out with one ......

nurseshelly · 04-29-2016, 04:58 PM

Mine say they won't have them until next week on Wednesday, so I should be safe ... if I had heard Saturday I would be stalking the stores tomorrow - LOL!

badgoodDeb · 04-29-2016, 05:15 PM

Good thing I checked again, then. Mine now also says Wed May 4. That'll save me a trip to the store!

The BestBuy website also says that MERLOT is "sold out online".

nurseshelly · 04-29-2016, 05:24 PM

That's funny because I just looked again because you did, and now they are all saying Thursday May 5th ... I'm in AZ. So, who knows when they will be in the store.
