I have not seen many posts on Radio Shack.
I have seen Wal*Mart and Best Buy threads but only a couple of Radio Shack.
I posted my experience with Radio Shack a week or so ago.
Here is what I am hearing...The manager at my local Shack told me the following.
Radio Shack's system was overloaded at 1PM EST on the day of Pre-Ordering.
This had to do with the link to AT&T during the activation/pre-order process.
After approximately 2 hours, Radio Shack told it's stores to STOP Processing/Ordering the iPhone 4's.
My local store was only able to process 3 orders in the first 2 hours. Luckly my order was the first processed. (I am however second on the list).
The mgr told me they are not guaranteeing delivery on the 24th. They have been told to tell customers to expect them on the 24, 25 or 26th.
I asked them about the rumor of receiving only 2 per store. He said that was not ever mentioned on his conference calls. The initial orders are for pre-order customers, and he said he is allocated a few to order for store stock (only 2 at a time). He doesn't expect to get the Store Stock items until a few days after the launch.
He also mentioned, if someone comes into his store now, his system will not allow him to process the order. He is frustrated with the whole launch and feels he has let down some of his customers who come in inquiring about the new iPhone.
