[Q] Need someone to help me buy a Lapdock from ATT store, will pay a fee!

Hello, I am looking to buy an Atrix Lapdock from the ATT store. I don't have a USA credit card which the store requires, but I do have a paypal verified and confirmed address.
Could a kind soul help me order 2 docks? I am sending them to a freight forwarder in Portland OR who will ship them to me in Singapore.
I'm looking to pay a $25 fee per lapdock for your time.
Please send me a PM if keen, I'm looking for someone who has been here long enough and has a high post count.
Thanks
Gerald

Uhh. Sure. While I'm at it do you want me to give my bank info to the guy emailing me from Nigeria so he can give me 7 US mil?

lol i appreciate the sarcasm here thanks guys.
ebay has them for nearly $499 I'm not willing to pay such a premium!
and no one on the xda forum marketplace is selling the docks.
I'll still hold out maybe someone would be willing to help.

thats how much they cost off contract- $499. To get it in the bundle (Phone + Laptop dock) for $500, you have to sign a 2 year contract with the tethering plan, no one will do that!

ATT sells the phones off contract for $399 plus a $100 mail in rebate = $299.

i bought my atrix a week ago for $499 from an AT&T strore and there was no mention of a rebate. where can i find the phone for $399 and where can i find this $100 rebate (for just the phone)?

This is the price for the phone, not for the dock. If the dock was cheap or came with the phone, you would see them for sale everywhere. But as it stands there are only 2 ways to get the dock
1. Pay full price
2. Get a tethering plan and get dock at reduced price.
If someone gets the dock with the tether plan and doesn't like the dock, maybe they will sell it cheaper. But if they can sell it on eBay for full price - why sell it cheaper.
You are a bit misguided on how the pricing works here.

Best Buy website has dock listed at $399. Only available in store, so it won't help OP, but maybe someone else who wants one can find one in store.

The phone off contract is $499. There is no mail-in rebate. Not for the atrix anyway.

I believe he's thinking about a link originally posted in the accessories forum, although I do believe one also must purchase a phone to get this price.

Also Best Buy is selling them for $399, but they are "not available for shipping".

Have you tried buying it from the Motorola store. It is powered by Amazon which I believe accepts PayPal.

A whopping $850+ for International version in Canada!!

Is it me or are people paying over $850 for the international version of the S3?!?!
That's crazy, the 32GB is $930+ ...
I was hoping the ISPs would carry so I would only have to pay around $200 with contract, and now I'm never going to get one :'(
Whatta hell Bell Canada!

I ordered mine from Handtec for $715 all in, not including import taxes. Still really expensive, but I paid the same for the SII on release.

Mine will run me approximately $760 after taxes and fees imported from clove.co.uk

You must realize that for some (myself included) it is just easier to buy off someone/business that will have it locally than to worry about shipment issues, delays, taxes etc.
As far as I can see, the average price for the international version 16GB is between CAN$720 and $750, add shipping and ON/BC HST on top and you're looking at way over $800. Plus most of these folks on kijiji and craigslist that are selling this, they do it for small profit.
I am patiently waiting for the blue colored one and I go through a great phone importer from BC, i.e. MobileDNA. Those guys are great with the numerous transactions that I have done with them over the years.

Yeah but I wonder what the import/duty fee's will cost? I bought the Nexus One and it cost me about 120$ on a 550$, so I'm assuming if you buy it for $720, you'll end up paying another 200$ for fees!!!

That's where I got my Galaxy Note (they served me well). What kind of price did you get from them? I emailed them just a moment ago.

ya, ive ordered my last couple phones from handtec (HD2, S2, S3) and they've all come up to around the same price of $700 after shipping.
But since i live in Ontario, the tax gets me hard and is usually around $100 once the package comes from FedEX - making it a total of $800
ya its steep, but im such a sucker for new phones so ya.
You're looking at ~$800 if you live in Ontario - other places in Canada will have cheaper tax so you'll pay a bit less

Hola
I have bought from Handtec myself. My greatest concerns were always about getting warranty on these high-end devices. As you would know IF something was wrong with the phone, shipping it back to the UK was required, this in itself was stress. I saw a few posts here when the S2 was originally launched that some folks had to ship it back, and then wait like a few weeks before getting back a replacement. I wanted to avoid this potential issue and hence looked for a Canadian distributor to handle this stuff.
Interestingly the only reputable company I found was way out west in BC... hence I now buy all my latest phones through them.
Killing me to know that I have to wait on the blue colored version until next week or so.

Negri seems to have the best price, I couldn't find an Unlocked AT&T anywhere else. Not even on Amazon.

Our sales tax here is 6%, so for me the $550 becomes a total of $582. That's still less than anywhere else I've found on line by a long shot. Oh, and I confirmed with my local Best Buy that they WILL price match AT&T at $550. So that might be another option.

$649 for no contract or $149 for individual upgrade at Amazon, but they don't charge tax do they? Or I guess it depends on the state your in.

EDIT: it's now $549 for no contract.

best price is free as in beer
AT&T has best no-commit price. And after awhile there will be eBay offering around the same price and without tax. So... Weigh your options, and see. It is time vs money.

Buying in USA or waiting in Canada

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app

I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.

Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

What did you pay for your off contract SPRINT s4?

I'm curious what people in other parts of the country are actually paying for their off-contract Sprint S4. Specifically from sites like Craigslist and eBay. Was it new or used? Any extra goodies included? What state? What was the final price? Date of purchase? Any other relevant details?
The purpose of this thread is to help potential buyers determine the actual going rate of the Sprint S4. Please be honest and descriptive about your purchase.

I payed 450, a week after the s4 dropped. Bnib from Craigslist.

Same, $450 from Craigslist. Brand new. No extras beyond what is in the box.

What part of the US are you guys from? $450 seems like a great price! In Portland all of the bnib S4's are still asking $550 and not willing to budge more than $20 or so.
I pulled the trigger on a used one today for the wife. The guy said it was a week old but didn't have a receipt... Regardless it was in flawless shape. It came with all of the original accessories and packaging as well as a flip cover and a 32GB SD card. He was asking $450 and we settled at $400.

good deal! Really only wanted to pay 400... im In south jersey.
