Canceling a reservation

"Almost"?

I pre-ordered an iphone 3GS online but also had Apple reserve a phone for me to pick up at the store. I chose the latter after having reserved a phone to buy it and have it shipped to my house. I wanted to cancel my reservation after having done so and called Apple to do it. Well, the agent I spoke with thought I wanted to cancel the order (No!!!!) and almost canceled the online order. I eventually called the Apple Store I reserved the phone at for pickup to cancel the reservation since I ordered the phone for delivery to my house.

I mistakenly "reserved" 2 phones online to be picked up at the local store. I stopped by yesterday and spoke with a person at the apple store, and she just went into the screen that showed all the reservations (~700+ as of noon sat.) She did a quick spotlight search for my name and it showed 2 reservations, so she just cancelled 1.

I specifically asked if I came at 7pm after work, if I would have one available. She said she didnt know how many the store was getting, but they would put aside the reserved ones as they did with the 1st iphone. I do recall that I came pretty late in the day when the 1st ones went on sale, and I had no issues getting one. But then again, the store here is no where near as crowded as some other markets.

I would guess that you do not need to do anything to cancel your reservation, if you have not left payment of any sort.
