Question about in-store pickup

[jmana]

I ordered the Evo 3D at a corporate store yesterday, but here's the thing, it's close to where I live but an hour from where I work - there are no corporate stores anywhere close to where I work, so it will be like 7 till I can get there. When I ordered the guy said "I hope we still have some left when you get here", and I was like what??? Apparently pre-ordering means nothing to them, at least according to this dude! So now I am thinking of stopping at one of the franchised stores close to where I work during lunch, but I am not sure if they will have them that early? Are they coming before the 24th and they just can't release them till then, or are they actually getting the shipments on the 24th? If they are getting the shipments that day then I suppose it would depend on if fedex or UPS had delivered there yet
