So i want to buy the transformer today, and i was wondering where is the best place to buy? I am in the US, in IL, but because of the quality control issues, I want to be able to take it back if I have to. Also, price is an issue, as it seems to vary. A lot of places have it online, but do any stores carry it yet? As for online companies, they are ok, but it would be nice to at least have a store to return to if i need to..I guess another issue would be getting one of the newer models that might have fixed the power cord issues and some QC issues. I searched for an answer, but I didn't find anything really giving advice on where to buy, now that it is actually in stock in some places...thanks!
Amazon.com. Why pay sales tax? I'm in IL also so I share your pain of living in such a crappy state.
lol i hear ya...especially cook county...but amazon only has them for 453 right now? seems like the price keeps moving around...i have prime too so i would do it, but the extra 50 bucks kills it
Newegg.com

For the in store pick up check your local Best Buy.
ya, newegg has always been decent for me...same price as everywhere else though..dang, i really wish amazon didn't have such a high price..and i checked my best buy...nothing anywhere near me...

Amazon charges sales tax here. Newegg does not.
Newegg for life. Build quality for my TF101 is perfect as well (first order)
Interesting...looks like the Frys electronics has it about a half hour from me...might check that out...

I seem to be having problems with my pms for some reason...i just sent you a message . Are you visioninc on ebay? cause i have a coupon for ebay so i might just use that for your listing. Few questions though...do you have light bleed at all and to what degree, or dead pixels? and do you have a receipt you could give me for the warranty? Why are you getting rid of it? thanks...
Amazon or Newegg for sure. No taxes and 30-day return/refund with no restocking fee!
I bought mine from Toys R Us on Wednesday for 399.99, plus they gave me a $25 dollar gift card that I used towards the purchase. I'm loving my Transformer so far! I just wish I could figure out how to Tether it with my Blackberry
I got mine in Fry's Burbank, CA. Have not run into any problems with it so far and have not seen and noticeable bleeding either.
Got mine at Newegg for $389 with no tax and free shipping by registering a new accounts and using the "newcustomer10" coupon. Not much of a savings but it was the best deal I could find until the TD one yesterday.
Newegg was also was willing to cross ship when I had to exchange my first Transformer due to some defects.
I bought my 32GB from Amazon. The 16GB was $50 more than the original price. I would recommend Best Buy.

Amazon always sell at retail price. The over-retail must have been a 3rd-party seller.
And yes, Amazon are definitely the best place to buy from now that the shortage is over. Amazing customer service and 30-day hassle-free return.

Psugtooq, are you saying that Newegg sent you a replacement before they received the damaged one back???
I ended up going with newegg...good call on the new customer code...i used it also...amazon had the 16gb 50 over and it was direct through them...i know its not normal but it was so....newegg has been good in the past and I heard alot of crap about td and their shipping...plus it was through ebay too and that can get interesting...great price though

Yep. After I sent back the defective one, I went into live chat and politely asked that Newegg send out a replacement immediately as I didn't want to have to wait 2 weeks for them to process the RMA and issue an exchange. The rep told me to call their customer service 1-800 number and ask for an "advanced replacement." I did so and a replacement was sent out the next day with their standard 3 day shipping (arrived in 2). Their was no additional charge, just the stipulation that my CC will be charged if the original isn't received within 30 days.
Run to your local Staples and get the Xoom for 299.99 minus the coupon $50 below

It's true - I was in Staples on last Friday and was able to pick up the wall charger and dock for the prices quoted above.
thanks for this
I also got the Dock for $12.50 and was in Staples today and the WiFi unit is $299. I already have a GED Xoom thou. Way better than getting SCREWED with their Crappy XYBOARD.
Hey thanks for this. I just got one from my staples for 299.99 with an extra 5% off for floor model. Now I found your coupon Ill get that $50 back and hopefully they have the accessories you listed too!!!
Edit: Returned it.
I just got back from my local Staples. The only one they had left was a return from a couple of months ago. Perfect condition. They gave me an extra 5% off for being open box so with the coupon it came out to $235 + tax!
got one today in nyc for 239 with tax included. its my 3rd xoom and this one iam keeping
I just went into my local staples and nothing was on sale? I even checked the website and everything was full price?

The Canadian Staples stores also seem to be selling the accessories on sale but not as cheap.
The Charge dock, normally 49.99, I picked up for 14.97
I did find the car travel charger for 5 dollars in a clearance bin too.

And out of stock.. (((((((
Sign up for the email notification. That is the only way I was able to get them this time. Sorry
It says $49.99 for me, but IS in stock near me.
Did you get an additional $10 off somehow or did they just increase the price?
I'm thinking about it for $49.99 though, seems like a good deal, worth more knowing that it's not counterfeit like it could be from eBay or amazon.
They increased it.

At $49.99, its still cheaper than the $65 or so from Amazon and elsewhere.

Since I signed up for product notification and/or Radio Shack spam they sent me a $10 coupon and I still got this for $39.99 + tax and free shipping to store. Awesome deal! Thanks! Total came to $42.79 with Ohio Sales tax.
Nice!
I should have bought 4 instead

Does anyone think the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) will sell for less then $474.05 w/free shipping and no tax before Christmas?
New Egg has it for $499.00 and I got an email from New Egg for an additional 5% off anything on the site.
It is sitting in my shopping cart showing $474.05 out the door
Should I pull the trigger or do you think the price will get better in a week or so?
Thanks
Are we talking about the 16gb version...? If so, I think that's the best wet can do before the new year. If it's for the 32gb by chance then must definitely!
I found one on CL for $500 - black 32gb bnib
Best you'll get until next year.
Yes 16 gig and Its a Christmas Gift so I need to pull the trigger soon
How are you getting the 5%?

NewEgg has a special promo going on right now.
Download the Newegg android app, when you open the app and sign in to your account you should get a special email with a 5% off code then use the app to check out to get 5% off your entire order with the promo code you got in your email.
CL?

Shopping for one myself. Saw this thread. I received the NewEgg email too, but saw your post on a 32gb for $500 and had to know who "CL" is. Sorry if it's a dumb question. If it's obvious who it is, I'll smack myself for asking!

He was asking if it was a 16gig or a 32 gig tab.
I replied it was for a 16 gig tab.
I pulled the trigger last night and got the price.
I just noticed this morning at Bestbuy, You get $10. credit for every $100 you spend with a $50. max.
So if you bought the tab at Bestbuy for $500. you will get $50. in credit to spend on accessories for it.

NO..............Limit of $50 in savings codes per transaction.
Problem with newegg is if you decide you don't like it, you are stuck. The policy on it is exchange only. No return.

I know I wont return it because I dont like it. I messed around with it at BestBuy, Seems to be the best Tablet out right now. It has an Iron Egg Guarantee with that purchase, that might allow you to return it for a credit if you dont like it
My bad. There are a few different Iron Egg policies and I read the wrong one.
Apologies

NP Its all good.
Hopefully a few others can get in on the deal before its gone
what worries me is that they now all say out of stock and my order is still in packaging...
ordered a black 16gb :victory:
edit:
just got tracking email...
mine arrived today
The good deals are over for now,
Today: 16 gig
NewEgg= $573
BestBuy=$553.
Glad I snagged mine for $474.
All,
This looks like a pretty good deal. B&H is selling Tab S3 with the Samsung keyboard for 497.99 - free shipping and no tax outside of NY & NJ.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1346387-REG/samsung_samsung_32gb_galaxy_tab.html
I had ordered mine from Amazon for that same price, but without the keyboard, and it cost me about $540. Fortunately, I was able to return it to Amazon via Amazon Prime and ordered one via B&H. It doesn't look they have it in stock yet, so you will have to wait between 7-14 days to get it.
It's worth looking into if you don't mind waiting to get it.
I got for $499, july 6

I was using a Tab S1 that I recently sold on ebay. I am now using a 8" Galaxy Tab A till I get my S3. I wish the Tab S3 came with an 8" size.
I ordered mine on 7/6/17 with the same more shipping 7-14 days message. When did you order yours? I think you and I got the same deal since yours cost $2 more. That deal was gone and came back as 497.99.
Ordered same, 7/6. Have heard nothing yet. Was using a Remix OS Tablet, just a little too large for my liking and travel. Sold mine on ebay as well.
Cheers,

I did the same and since they reduced the tab price 129 and charged full price on keyboard, I simply returned the keyboard and got the tab for 370.

I tried, but they wouldn't match it for me because B&H did not have it in stock. Apparently, they would only match items that are in atock at the time of the price match. Fortunately, it still works in my favor 'cause I gotnit with no tax or shipping fee.
