I went to Canada Computers today to see if they'd be getting it next week. The staff didn't know though the system did show SKUs for both 16gb and 32gb (no dock listed). These are not listed on their website yet.
16gb: $449
32gb: $549
Maybe someone can confirm this...so much for parity.
Edit: Grammar fail.
I have a friend living in Canada. Might ask her to get me one if I can't get one in the US.

I seriously hope this isn't true.. $50 more isn't a deal breaker, but I bet the keyboard will be more as well..
Wait a sec... if they raise the Transformer $50 and the keyboard $25 or 50, we're talking well over $600, $700 with tax. The cheapest Honeycomb tablet is quickly becoming the most expensive!
EDIT: Just checking some US prices on other tablets - they are the same price in both Canada and the states for the Playbook and Xoom. If Canadian dealers are going to play games with pricing because of popularity, the transformer will be my last purchase at the store which overcharges.
The exchange rate is currently around $1US to $0.95CDN and Asus posted that $399 press release with Canada in mind. Here's hoping to that price being a premature placeholder until they get stock (which was 0 when I went). Hopefully, there'll be deals coming out in the next few days and price matching opportunities too.

Let's hope it's just a temporary price. I don't think so though. Futureshop raised the price of the Asus A500 $50 and I can see others doing the same with the Transformer.

Maybe shipping from the states would be cheaper. Or a road trip would be nice, assuming a $75 difference with tablet and dock, I'd say that's enough gas money.

I would rather pay $399 + $50 to ship than $449 + tax. I've ordered 6 packages from the US over the past month and the shipping costs ranged from $5 - $20 (large box).

you think any real retailer (staples for example) is going to charge above MSRP? unlikely.

Actually, you have that flipped around. It's $1.00 CAD to $0.95 USD right now. If anything we should be paying less.
As of right now, we should be paying $379.81.

No, I'm pretty sure I had that right. You can check xe.com. (can't post links yet since I've lurked too long but: imgur.com/Wpzzg.) But yes, we should be paying less.
Regardless, I hope we don't get ripped off.
Hmmmm... The Acer Iconia 10" just appeared on the Staples web site this morning. 32GB at $499.

Unfortunately, I can't post links yet, but it looks like you are reading the xe.com chart wrong. Do a specific currency conversion of 1 CAD to USD and you'll see what I mean. I'm not trying to be pendantic or anything, but the conversion rate is something I follow closely for various reasons.
As you said, though, Canada tends to get screwed over regardless. I'm pretty sure I dropped an extra $50 or so on my Archos 101 when I got it compared to the US, but it ended up being worth it for the shipping expense I would have had otherwise. It looks like Canada Computers is mostly closed today, so hopefully I can call tomorrow and see if I can get a verification.

I have added Expansys to the OP, even though they are quite ridiculous.
Hey everyone,
Bargain shopper here and have always been looking at slickdeals.net for deals on electronics. Rarely do I buy electronics full price (frugal mentality I suppose, and possibly a bad thing). Nonetheless just looking for opinions, what do you all think? Thanks for any input
I doubt it, the Nexus 7 is being sold at cost price and Google is subsidising the cost of marketing the device themselves - and probably also giving ASUS more money so that ASUS continue to make a profit.
It costs ~$200/~$250 to MAKE the device. Isn't that the cheapest price you'd be able to find anywhere for any item?
We've already had them here for £189 delivered reduced from £200 plus delivery so there should be some margin.
However the Pound is greater than the USD, so your £200 is approx $310... (right?)
I wouldn't expect to find the Nex7 cheaper until there have some some refurb units. I've seen the Fire go as low as $140, but that was about six months after its release. Until all orders are filled, and there is a decent surplus, i would expect prices on ebay to be greater than or equal to what you would find on the Google Play store or in most other retailers.

£159 + 20% VAT = £199
£40 in Tax is the killer here
Cool thanks for the input!

Worked like a charm thanks for the input! BTW -- for others taking advantage of this opportunity, don't forget to use the coupon code: JULY4, which will knock $15.00 off the sale price of $249.00. And, of course, no sales tax, unless you live in the state of New York.
And opt for the standard UPS shipping, $1.29 to where I live, because the free shipping delivers it to a post office near you and you got to go pick it up.
Now, I'll have to call Google Play and cancel my pre-order.
ahh I cant wait to get this tablet, last week I was about to buy the kindle fire untill i saw the ads of the nexus 7

Just got this deal too! Amazing! But the previous link is dead. here is the new link:
http://www.jr.com/order/basket.jsp?...Hash=0a2ace30df7d42028f38788bbc64e14d7ffee550
Don't forget the July4 promo code!
Also, the free shipping uses UPS to ship to your USPS post office, THEN Usps delivers to your door. It happens all the time buying from amazon. Just sucks if your mailbox is too small. Then USPS will leave you a slip to go pick it up.
I was going to pre-order from gamestop today, GLAD I WAITED!
OH! Also note: They will only ship to paypal confirmed addresses, so if your address isn't confirmed, you will have to pay with a credit card and manually type your Shipping info.
ALSO: If you use a MASTERCARD credit card (not debit) They will not charge you until it ships. So A) no balance as of yet, and B) when you are charged you know they shipped.
Do this now! Because they already took the Nexus 7 off their main page! Only a matter of time before they fix this link too!
I didn't see this posted so I figured I would share. I wasn't even planning to upgrade but after seeing the free shipping and $30 off coupon code through Staples, I really couldn't resist. Especially since I have a buyer lined up to purchase my 2012 Nexus 7 for $140 this weekend. :highfive:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/2...exus-7-through-staples-with-this-coupon-code/
Coupon code: 41178
Not sure how long they'll have this offer up but it worked for me.
just walked into a staples near by and used the online staples coupon, printed out.
http://www.staples.com/coupons
bought the 16 gig for $199.
tell the employee to use the online code: 41178
you need to print out the coupon and bring it in store. doing unboxing now.
expires 7/28, go get it!
If you anyone of you were impatient like I was and bought it at Best Buy, you can have them price match it. I had to call in a couple times, first rep lied to me and told me they don't do pricematch of item after purchase only during. Here's their policy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000
Just arrived at my Staples and they only have the 16gb version. Oh well.

I bought mine at Best Buy this morning. I called them to ask if they would match the Staples price, they said only if it's an in store price, I told them it was a coupon discount and they said definitely not. I'm not sure how the other guy above got away with that, it's literally in their pricematch guarantee that they will not match coupon prices. Anyway, Best Buy will allow you to return your item for free, even if it's opened and you can return it to any Best Buy store if you ordered it online. What I'm going to do is buy the Staples one and not open it and return it to Best Buy. Hopefully they won't match the serial number on the box. If they do, then I'll return the opened one, no big deal.
Edit: Oh well, Staples site says they're out of stock online, both models.
Edit 2: Called the store near me, they don't even carry the new model yet, they only have the old one. Other Staples in the area all seem to have the 16GB in stock, no 32GB, so I called them. They said they had only one in stock that was "on hold for a customer, but If I wanted to buy a protection plan for it, they would hold it for me instead"... Sounds real shady. Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, the online code (which is 41178) will work until this Sunday (7/28), but apparently the code 35852 will work in store if you ask the cashier to try it for you.
16gb at the local Staples, with coupon, $199 out the door. :good:
Thank you so much for posting this I rode as quick as I could to staples to pick mine up!
And I was going to wait for my 1 day shipping, Ain't nobody got time for that!!

Hrmm are they're contradicting themselves? Because if you scroll down to the FAQs
How do I request a price match from BestBuy.com?
When making a purchase, or during the return and exchange period after your purchase from BestBuy.com, price match requests from BestBuy.com are handled via phone. Please call 1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289) for a BestBuy.com price match request. Please tell us about the lower price that is still in effect that you want Best Buy to price match. Best Buy will then review and verify the price match request.
Edit: I guess that only applies to pricematching themselves.

You have 15 days to get the price matched post purchase, "We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase." But you still did get lucky because it says "The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: ... coupon offers, ..."
Edit: Yeah, looked at that wording, it does say "if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."
Edit 2: Apparently the code doesn't work in store. Just called a Staples store near me and I asked if they had any in stock, before I even said anything about the coupon, the guy said "If you have the coupon for $30 off, it doesn't work for the new tablet, only the old ones" and that he just tried it numerous times for a customer. Oh well, hopefully they'll get more in stock online, or maybe they didn't realize the coupon was working for the new Nexus 7 and it wasn't supposed to be and they finally fixed it.
Damn sold out

insane deal! already got mine at best buy since I thought it was a mistake didn't think Staples would be selling them as well.
To clear up BB price match.
1. They only price match against other stores at the time of purchase. Post purchase price matches apply only to a lower BB price.
2. They do not price match coupons.

huh, I think best bet would be to go to a local store and hold the coupon over there head. Chances are the Manager would match it to get your business. Online there is prolly less leeway
ordered from amazon, saw this deal, went to staples, they didint accept coupon, canceled amazon, bought at staples anyway...
went to a different staples about 15 min ago with my recipt and showed the coupon..... gave my 32$ back
im happy
They stopped the 30 bucks coupon for new nexus. Old nexus still works! They also are canceling online orders for people who used the 30 coupon.

My wife and I each ordered one this morning. We watched the countdown clock and clicked immediately. Looking forward to moving to it from my Nexus 5. My wife has the monstrous Sony Z Ultra GPe and thinks she will enjoy a smaller phone for a change.
I don't suppose anybody took a screenshot of it showing the $199 price for credit card price protection submissions?

promo code not working, is it a mistype? Entering it after login to amazon to pay.
Anyone confirm?
NVM confirmed dead
Just a bump here. It is listed at the normal amazon page (as of this post) for $199 and the promo code works. Just got it for $179. Thanks to above posts. YMMV not sure how long these last.
http://www.amazon.com/ALCATEL-ONETO...sim_107_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q1BEF2P9023PZZ644NH
Promo code only works with non-lightning deals? That's my guess only since this is a now a lightning deal. I feel terrible for ordering this at like 11:30 PM last night only for it to drop to $199 today. Did not find out about this until just now when I came back from work. Trying to see if Amazon will honor a credit for the difference now.
Edit: Eh. No joy. They won't honor it even though it's being fulfilled by Amazon. Oh well, I'm missed $25. Not the worst missed deal I've had. I just don't want to wait another few days to get the phone. Should get it tomorrow (when I'm off). Then I'll see how well it fits my usage. If everything goes well, I'll probably sell my Nexus 6 32 GB Cloud White and stick with this baby.
Could someone please upload a screenshot of something on amazon showing the $199 price? I paid $250 for mine back in may and would like to submit to chase for price protection. I'd be very appreciative.
*nevermind* I was finally able to get it to show $199.
I'm glad i checked the board tonight cause i bought the IDOL 3 yesterday at 225 so i contacted amazon and got a partial refund when it ships on Thursday.

If you purchased within 10 days you can contact amazon and they will do a price adjustment...beyond 10 days you have to use credit card price protection which lasts for 60-90 days.....I'm submitting a chase freedom price protection claim tomorrow because I paid $250 on may 20th and it's showing $199 with the previously posted $20 off promo code still working making the final price $179.99.

Odd. I called last night and the rep told me they could not offer me price protection since it comes from a third-party seller. I kept trying to explain that it was a Amazon fulfilled order. She tried contacting their "cell phone department", but I was told they closed at 7 PM (no clue which timezone). Her suggestion was that I refuse my package and try and order again. I didn't want to wait until next week for my phone considering I might even be home and it could get delayed further because no one is around to receive it.

You might just try calling back and talking to a different rep. On a bright note many credit cards have price protection now and the chase freedom one has been painless so far..I started my claim over the phone..they are emailing me the paperwork to which I have to add printouts of the sale price and my original receipt...since it's an identical item from the same store purchased should be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure I'll get the $20 off promo code but the drop from $250 to $199 would be nice.

The price was also available directly from amazon yesterday and this morning.
If you buy something in May I don't see how price protection works two months later. It is usually within a week.

Typical price protection with credit cards is a minimum of 60 days and usually 90 days. I submitted the claim for the $50 difference and didn't include the $20 off promo code so I could have purchased the phone for $179.99 but trying to explain that when the sale price showed $199 on the amazon page would greatly increase the risk of the whole claim being denied so I'll take my $50 and be happy.
Citi Price Rewind : 60 days and they check the price FOR you at most major places when you submit a "price rewind". I've gotten money back from laptop chargers to laptops...and now hopefully a smartphone.
Discover has price protection for 90 days.
Chase Freedom: 90 days.

Got my $179 idol 3 this past morning. So far pleasantly surprised. Screen is insanely bright and speakers are very good. So far liking it more than my g3 or M8 (particularly the camera on this one vs the idol)
Does anyone think Motorola will have a sale on the Moto x pure on Black Friday this year?
Yes. I'd guess $50 off
couldnt wait for it

I opted to pick up a mint condition MXPE on Swappa for $100 off. Saved myself the taxes and shipping costs, easily an additional $50.

Did it still have the basic warranty the phone comes with?
Why wait for BF?
Just buy it now, and you have 30 days to price match if it drops during BF.
Yup. Same basic warranty. I got the original receipts with it and the seller even offered to assist with any warranty claims.

In the past, as of the 2014 x, moto has made you *return* your phone and buy a new one at the discount price. Just an FYI. Also the return policy for the US (except ca) is only 14 days.

Good point.
I was thinking of BestBuy and Amazon. Just grabbed a 16GB Moto X from BB. If price goes down, you can price match it.

BB is probably better if you're going to go the price match route. With the exception of Televisions Amazon doesn't usually price match.

Amazon will price match after you purchase an item too. I've done it before but not with a cellphone, but I'm sure they would allow it on phones too

got open box 32 gb from amazon warehouse for 384 plus tax
I bought mine from Motorola with my Discovercard last month. If there is a Black Friday deal, I should be able to get Discover to comp me back the difference: http://slickdeals.net/f/6347766-discover-price-protection
I also found this thread and will get 30% (normally 20%) of the purchase price back as "Jet Cash" to spend at jet.com. I haven't purchased anything from them yet (I'm still waiting the 30-day waiting period to make sure I don't return the phone before they release the money) and a lot of people seem to be poo-poo-ing on Jet. I can't give my opinion one way or the other yet, but they seem to have a lot of product that I normally use at decent prices so it was worth a shot (especially combined with the Discover price guarantee).
I couldn't really wait any longer as I watched the resell value of my N6 just plummet over the last month I had to find a way to get a deal before BF...
amazon france now has 18% off Style! Just ordered one <3 (€412 and I got €10 off at the checkout when selecting express delivery for some reason )
Motorola UK website £30 off Style, so pays for the leather or wood option if you want that.
20% off a Play (£60).
Nothing off a Force.
