Backordered through Premier

Just placed my order through premier earlier and then got an email 3.5 hours later saying that they are backordered...

I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet from an order I placed about four hours ago, but the Premier website shows that I have an order in progress (with no details).

Man, that didn't take long!

Yep I just heard they are out. I don't have an ETA when at&t will get more but I will post something as soon as I hear it.

I got the last one from my local ATT store, but they only had 3 total.

I got one from an AT&T store and they said they had plenty left, I guess it just depends what area you're in...

When I showed up to get mine Sunday they hadn't even put it out yet. Lol

Yeah, I was the only one so far to buy it from the RadioShack I work at, they have quite a few in the back (they haven't even made a dummy phone available for the store).

Mine is still back-ordered

Same here. I've also been trying to call the premier number and haven't been able to get through to talk to anyone. I just want an approximate date...

I got through (took about 30 minutes). They said that it would either ship the end of this week or beginning of next. I cancelled my order -- maybe I'll get the nexus one instead, and risk the wrath of my wife.
What do y'alls think? I like the small form factor of the aria, and the price is right, but ... nexus one!

i ordered mine within 30 minutes of it going on sale saturday night.. and mine was backordered...

could try Best buy... got mine from them for $130 with no need to bother with rebates

or amazon, newegg, dell, or tigerdirect. all of which have it cheaper unless you have a really good FAN discount

Yeah Newegg (Simplexity) is best price around, no FAN req'd. Ordered Sunday night, receiving 2 Arias in the mail Wednesday.
If you want to pick it up in person and actually want to PAY for the phone, go to Costco. Best in-store price, better than Best Buy.

newegg and letstalk.com both have the Aria for free right now

Just an update:
I was finally able to get through to premier yesterday, all of the other times I tried it just said to try again later. The person I talked to said that it was too late to cancel the order.
Today, I just got an email saying that my phone has shipped. Now, it's time to wait for the fedex man to arrive @ my house...

I had ordered one for my wife through premier store on monday night and it came as back ordered too. I canceled and went to my local store where they then gave it to me for $229 and $100 in free accessories. The premier store wanted $318.99... I'm glad it was on back order or I would have paid the $318.99 amount. Its no nexus, but it sure holds its own. And, apps that aren't in the app store can be installed via bump. We put shapewriter on hers last night from my nexus and it worked perfectly (shapewriter is not in app store).

Mine finally shipped...just in time for the weekend and I doubt they sprung for Saturday delivery. So tomorrow I am going to call the FedEx depot and beg for them to let me pick it up.

Ordered mine today over the phone with premier. It has been processed and shipped already. So they obviously have them in the warehouse. Good luck guys

Was told by BB associate, all BB received only 5 Xooms

I stopped in and the associate setting up the Xoom for display said that all BB received only 5 Xooms: 1 for display and 4 for preorder. Wonder if this is true.

Well I know my Best Buy only received 5. And unfortunately, I was not one of the first to pre-order. So I can't pick one up today. I have to wait for them to call me when more come in.

I will call my local best buy and see what they say. Luckily I am in a fairly small market and when new tech toys like this come out they usually aren't sold out super fast.

Guess I was a few minutes early they hadn't opened when I called so I will call them back in a bit and see what information I can get then.

That may be true for many stores but mine had 11.

Yep, mine had 10.

I saw the inventory screen at the Best Buy at Union Sq last night and it showed the NYC stores are getting between 5 - 10 each.

Just heard back and he said from what they were told by corporate its was a minimum 5 per store kinda like their black friday deals.

I was able to walk in and buy one without a preorder here in MA. There wasnt even anyone in there picking one up just me. I did someone talking about tablets while I was being rung up and they said "thats just an Ipad ripoff" I looked over and to my shock it was a teenage girl saying that lol!
I was told I couldn't get free buyback and I needed to activate. I needed to get back to work so I didn't argue I'll just call Verizon and cancel tonight. I really dont care about the buyback program either, looks lame to me.
Also they told me I had 30 days to return the tablet since there was no contract!
anyone buy the 130 accident replacement plan?

Mines had 15 and I got the second to last one

Has anyone received their Lapdock from Motorola?

Has anyone that ordered from the Moto Store received their lapdock? I've called numerous times to Motorola Store to place an order and they keep telling me that either its not available or that they don't sell it without the phone. Those people are EXTREMELY rude.

i paid for my laptop dock on Wednesday last week, paid for overnight shipping. Still hasn't shipped. Price has dropped $50 since my order was placed. I emailed them and called them 3 times asking when it would ship or if I could at least get a $50 partial refund. Really ticking me off.

Yep. Exactly as I expected. This is gonna go bad fast. :/

mine is shipping today, arrives tomorrow.

What's really interesting is the fact that it went up back to $399 earlier today and if you check now, it's back up to $499. I placed my order last Weds as well and still am waiting for a tracking number.

Damn it. I was thinking about ordering for $369, but for $499... that is just too expensive.
Still gonna wait for the price to drop again, no point wasting money on something that is going to go down in price anyway as nobody buys it

when I went to the ATT store on the 13th to preorder my phone, the guy screwed up and pre-ordered the laptop dock instead. I didn't notice this until the 18th. i then went back up there to order the phone correctly. I couldn't cancel the laptop order because it went for packaging/shipping that day.
Anyway, long story short, I got both the laptop and phone on the 21st. Played with laptop for all of 5 minutes and immediately returned to my local ATT store. It's a $500 web browser. A slow & laggy one at that. Just my opinion.

Has anyone received a tracking number from Motorola? I keep getting the run around from them on my order placed last week... Not happy.

OT:
I've had the laptop dock since tuesday of last week... IMO if you get the package deal it's a SICK deal, I haven't picked up my $1000 Laptop ONCE since I got this thing... and I don't even have citrix at work.
I'm using logmein and it's SICK.
With the MIR it's 200 for the phone 200 for the dock... that's an awesome deal imo.
No idea on direct orders from Moto.

1.2.3.gone
The lapdock has disappeared from Moto's online store. Strange.

A supervisor told me they were flooded with orders and shipping has been delayed... I find that hard to believe but this is not cool.

None of the Staples in my area have the GT in stock, with no idea when they might be getting any in.

Best Buy. Long story but they really wanted me to buy a tablet there. Employees came from all around with discounts for me at check out. There was an actual line of employees with printed skews in their hands, each one adding a new discount. I was still in disbelief when I got home. Like I said, Just for fun I might stop by and have a go. I'm sure they need some kind of entertainment around there.
Oh yeah, the funny part was when the all got through with their discounts another guy walked up typed something in, while another dropped his jaw and said, "Did you just give him a $100 off without a managers aproval, how did you do that?" He just smiled and walked away. Everyone gets luck once in a while.

Will bb reimburse 100 to price match if you already purchased and are within 14 day return period?

Can you scan your receipt from best buy ,so some of who not lucky can used as proof of purchase..thanks![...QUOTE=T120ted;15826374]Best Buy.

Best buy said they dont price match coupons.

Thank you so much for this post, I just got back from Staples with a 16gb Tab. The tech guy in the store said they got 3 of them in yesterday and 1 person bought one late last night and the 2nd one was purchased 5 minutes before me and I got the last one. While he and I were talking 2 more people walked up asking for them and were told they were sold out. He said each store only got 2 or 3 of them.
They did have the Xoom, Playbook and Iconia in stock. The Iconia was quite tempting for $299!!! I also wouldn't have minded getting a Xoom for $399 to goof off with. This new Tab is for my son as I already have one myself. I wish they had the 32gb versions in the store but they said that model is only available online. Staples is also running a special for 15% off any tablet accessories when purchasing a tablet but they no Tab accessories in stock yet. The guy said they haven't received their end cap for the Tab which usually comes with the accessories shipment. He said he would honor the 15% offer once they receive their accessories so I'm going to check back periodically. Checking stock on their website shows other stores in the area have Tabs as well but the guy said it can take up to 24 hours for the online stock checker to update so with the rush of buyers looking for them with the coupon deal I suspect they'll all be gone very quickly. FYI, they are selling the metallic gray version (not the white). The website doesn't give any indication of color...

So how much did you exactly pay for the 16gb SGT??

Depending on your tax, I got mine for $430 after tax and coupon.

Too bad they don't stock the 32GB in any of their stores...
I wonder if they will honor this coupon over the phone to order a 32GB?? Guess I'll be trying here shortly

they do honor in store...

Tried a few Staples in DC metro area. Some don't have any. One store that do have in stock can't make the coupon work. Finally found one store that the manager knows about the coupon and offered to order one for me from Kiosk and pay at the register to use the coupon w/o any problem. I'll pick the tab up this Firday. $420 with tax.

Well, I was on a fence because of luck of Netflix. But now Netflix is sorted out and I've got 16Gb for 400 bucks plus tax from staples.

Got mine from staples 424.99 16gb when to four stores and the last store had 3 left also most stores don't have them on display

I picked up my Galaxy 10.1 at Staples today. I noticed that they didn't have any on display, but there were Xooms, Acers, Blackberries, etc. When I asked them why, they said that yesterday somebody tried to walk off with the display model, so they took it off display. Seems to me that he could have tried to walk off with any of them, so why remove just one?
Anyway, another guy said they had gotten their shipment in on Sunday (3 days ago), and I was the first to buy one. He said the store is getting many returns on tablets, because people buy them thinking they are laptops -- minus the keyboards. I assured him that I was familiar with the android system, owning a rooted Nook.
I am happy with the Samsung so far, but Honeycomb is a little bigger learning curve over Android 2.3. But my buddy at work has a Xoom, so I'll be picking his brain over the next couple of weeks.

What do you mean, "Netflix is sorted out?" Can Netflix be played on my Samsung? (Forgive me, I'm a Honeycomb newbie).

Buyers in US who bought from Handtec?

If you bought this phone from Handtec, did it come with UK firmware? Did you pay any customs tax to Fed Ex? How long in average it took from the day of order to the final delivery to US. ( especially west coast) Is your phone Made in Korea?
Thank you for answers

I had bought my Touch HD from them back in 2008 through google checkout. They shipped the same day and arrived in 5 days (or less) to Washington DC. Fedex dropped it to my door. No customs problems, but some legal papers concerning US vs EU thingies with it, which I threw to trash... but again I have read some incidents with customs... maybe it was my luck. Good luck with you. Decent company

Ordered Thursday night, shipped Monday morning, was at my door by 10am Tuesday morning, no issues with customs, tax, etc...using it with straight talk right now, getting H+

Yes, No, 1 day to New York, Yes.

I ordered mine yesterday, it shipped today, and it's scheduled to be delivered to my door tomorrow before 10:30am. I received a call from FedEx today; they said something about the customs paperwork listing electronics and asked what it was. I said a cell phone and the woman said something about the FCC, then "Let me speak with my supervisor and see if this paperwork will suffice." She came back and said her supervisor gave the ok and thanks.
I'll report tomorrow if anything unpleasant happens with my order, such as it not arriving promptly and satisfying my cravings!

Argh! I just checked the FedEx tracking for my Note and it says customs delay! It says "Description provided is insufficient to classify commodity." I hope the earlier call where they asked me what it was is all that's needed and this clearance delay will not change tomorrow's delivery. But the red color of the status bar at the top of the FedEx tracking page is rather ominous...

youd better know your fedex guy or stand at that pobox all day. they wont deliver to a pobox

Ordered mine Friday Nov 3rd. Got it Nov 9th at 10am fedex (weekend in there, so it didn't ship until 7th). No customs problems or delays. No extra taxes or charges. I am in California.

This customs issue is very frustrating. They called and said the FCC form is incomplete. They sent me one to fill out since Handtec is gone for the day and I'm clueless on some of the items on it. I started a new thread with the contents of the form posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19234692#post19234692

same thing
My phone was supposed to be here this morning but held up by customs because of improper address in the manufacturer box. My son already received his without this. I guess it depends on the customs agent. I called handtech and told him they needed to fill in the complete Samsung UK address in that box. Said they would but still seem to think that customs stops some phones just for general principles. Just received e-mail from FedEx saying the package will be here tomorrow between 10:30 and 12

Are you all paying £ 449.99 or £ 584.99?? that's nearly a grand USD.

449 pounds for buyers outside UK

US to euro
$449 it's actually around $611 The phone is unlocked with no AT&T crap on it. Also has a hardware button which is great as far as I'm concerned. When you figure AT&T will be charging $300 for it, it becomes a bargain. Very nice to have a phone that if you're in Europe you can just throw in a Sim card and use it to your hearts extent without those exorbitant AT&T charges. I can also have it right away and not have to wait six months.

Thanks, this thinking started when I got a $500 bill from my Spain trip. That'll never happen again, there's so many pluses to buying a phone that's it's hard not to.

Am I figuring this out wrong? To figure the price in US$ for with the £/US$ conversion isn't it roughly 1.6 x £449 = $718 plus shipping on top of that? Did you pay just $611? Thanks

I paid for 449.99 + 14.99 EU's for overnight shipping FedEx, turned out to be two overnights because of our ultra efficient customs department. Let me get out my trusty converter, that's $632. Subtract $300 I would've paid AT&T for contract and about $200 for my old iPhone 3GS equals $135 for the Samsung Note and can get dump AT&T any time I want = priceless
