Thinking about ordering the iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB from Best Buy for Verizon.

Will this ship with a Verizon sim already in the phone?

Will the phone arrive with the factory wrap on the box or does Best Buy open them before shipping out?

How does Best Buy ship phones, FedEx or UPS?

Just never ordered a phone from Best Buy and was wondering the experience.

Thanks.

When I ordered my iPhone 11 Pro Max via the Apple Store app on my iPhone X and then went to pick it up hours later from a nearby Apple Store, it was already configured for my Verizon account and as soon as i turned it on, the SIM card in my iPhone X, was no longer active.

I can only assume it will be similar for you, but I can’t say for certain.

I realize all of this, just wonder what the Best Buy shipping experience is like?

I’ve only ever ordered one phone from Best Buy and it was the Note 8 and also a pre order. They shipped it ups. Other than it showing up a day later then it was supposed it was pretty easy. That delay could’ve been local to my ups facility too.

I get most phones from Best Buy due to the deals. Yes it comes with a Verizon SIM card. No the box is not open. They’ve used fedex in my area.
