Do I have to activate in store if I buy in store?

[lmoreau]

I wanted to get a phone full price no tab so I bought it online so that I can activate myself. It said I'd have it in 2-5 business days but it's been 6 and they said they are still processing my order and to call back so I want to cancel it.

If I go in store can I just buy it and leave or do I need to activate there? I assume they'd push for an activation since I guess that's a sale but I want to just do it myself. Anyone know if that's possible?

First of all, I'd highly suggest if you're joining WIND, just do it in store. Their site is the worst at giving random errors and you potentially could "burn" a sim and have to get another one anyways. If you're going to the store after cancelling your order, just complete it in store.

That's my advice, based on personal experience + reading other various issues with their online services here. The ordering part online for product purchases should have been smooth though, that's the only thing I've never had an issue with.
