I’m planning on picking up the Nvidia Shield but Best Buy app says they aren’t in stock still. I can’t order it online as I only have the money in cash and my bank is an hour the opposite way.

They can order it in store and use your cash as payment. Then you can have it sent to your home, or do in store pickup. Usually it's 2 days but they can let you know for sure!
Also not sure about other stores, but today is truck day at ours so they might have it, just not in the system yet.
I will see how it goes. Earliest if was to order it online is tomorrow , latest is the 2nd as a store pick up
It is generally pretty accurate. If the website says 0 in stock then it would be safe to assume they don’t have it.
Will try to see if another store has it since the Tracker listed it out of stock for over a week now
Another option if you wanted to pay in cash: you could go to the store closest to you, order it there, and pay for it in cash. Then it can be shipped to your house or picked up for free.
Just may do that. If following the site it will arrive Tuesday
It sounds like the best way to get one is to just order in store. You can wait all you like for it to come in stock, but there are a ton of variables (one could come in but be purchased before you get there, or maybe they dont get one for weeks). Do whatever you want, but you already know the best way to get the product.
I went and had it ordered in person. Listed to show at house tomorrow. Wonder were the shipments come from That they can be out of stock but arrive so quickly.
Each Best Buy store acts as a small warehouse essentially . If something is out of stock in our warehouse it will source it from a store somewhere that has it for ship to home
I would say wait on a shield right now as it’s expected to have a generation 3 release fairly soon per leaks (no official word as far as I know)
However if you don’t want to wait:
Mostly accurate but we have a policy of validating three or less for a reason. People suffer from amnesia and forget to pay for product as they walk out with it, and occasionally we have truck shipments that don’t have all the correct product.
I got one mailed form a Best Buy a few hours out. I did hear about a new one possibly being in the works but I’m not too bothered as I imagine it be a new chipset maybe more ram but be the same behind that. Do wish I snagged the pro model as from what I read comes with a hard drive. May try using an external to store media on.
If something says it is out of stock it is probably correct. If it says it is in stock however you need to take it with a grain of salt.
Dang, guess I’ll either have to wait or hope I can find another store that sells them
