25% Coupon - Still shipping? Lets hope

So checked my bank account this morning and low and behold my money for the XOOM from Motorola went from pending back to my checking account. Checked my Motorola Amazon account shows nothing now....I think they cancelled my order of the XOOM and refunded back my money.
Anyone else notice this? I just returned my xoom to Costco yesterday too LOL!
Who said they were going to honor this?

Alright checked store.motorola.com signed in again, now it shows the same setup as before...Shipped 24th blah blah, arrival date March 1st, or March 2nd. Charge of 641.00 and so forth. Not sure whats going on site shows still active, bank shows my money is back.

My bank account shows that too only because its been past 3 business days since the pre-auth. Its not canceled.

Hmmm....thanks for the heads up then. So if all goes well, they should ship today?? SHOULD

Companies can't place a hold on your money forever, they have to give it up eventually.
Using a debit card on the internet is also the dumbest thing you could possibly do in my opinion.

OP should probably change the title

Let's see how quick Motorola is
I signed up for news about the Xoom on their website beginning of February. I just got an email today announcing the New Xoom!!! Hooray! If this is representative of Motorola's speed then we're all up for a treat

Sorry mate, I didn't mean to get your hopes up. It is about the Xoom in general so I suspect it's the 3G/4G model.
Here's the email link: Motorola Xoom announcement
I was just pointing out that I received the "news" about a week after the actual release!

Really? Another thread on this? The 3 other ones didn't suffice? Some have already received a tracking number, if you had checked the other threads.

Do Google employees have Nexus devices already on hold for them?

Are they the first in line to get the devices or do they have to buy from the store like the rest of us?

if you work deving for Google you get a rooted/unlocked one. Not sure it's for much but photo ops these days. But you can get them off eBay occasionally

If this source is correct, Google employees had to order just the same as everyone else and a lot of them missed out on buying one too

Didn't get yours? That's okay...neither did I...and neither did a lot of Google staff...yet (yes, they order phones just like the rest of us). You will, though...you will. If you don't get it today, the next scheduled release is in 3 days once they can get a better handle on orders and stock.

The reason I asked is because a known Google employee purchased my extra Nexus 4 on ebay so I believe it is correct.
I just thought it was a trap lol.

The guy I talked to for Google Canada said he never even got a chance to order one.

The higher up guys at google probably got them free or had first hand dibs when they got the shipment (before it went on sale)
CS guys have to pay like everyone else i'm assuming.

I can just imagine all the Google employees dropping all their work and you just see them all constantly hitting F5 at launch time ^_^

No you have to order same as everyone else. UNLESS you are directly involved in development or senior executive

I work for one of Google's partner companies and I have to speak with their client account team members daily. Last year, when the Galaxy Nexus came out, they all received one with a special battery cover the day before the launch without having to order or wait. However, this time around I've had a few of them confirm that they had to order the phone like the rest of us. Of the 5 account team members I've spoken to in the last day or so, not a single one was able to get an order in for an N4 and most were amazed that I was able to.

According to Des on Twitter, one of the reasons for the delay was to make sure all locations were able to get a demo phone. As the leaked list showed, only 2/3 of locations were even getting a demo, and only 1/3 were getting sellable stock.

At least http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I2IC shipped expected Thursday (when Prime shipping was included for its $16.99 price) :victory:

Speaking to one of my friends who also works at T-Mobile today around 9PM EST he told me the email they received was no sale in store but they can direct ship from the store to the customer. I asked he got no email of delayed launch and he said not today maybe if it does it will come in tomorrow. He's a trust worthy guy and knows what hes talking about just as crazy about this stuff as me.

I just called 611 from T-Mobile and they are not letting you order the phone over the phone. So if a store will let you buy one then you are lucky and jump on it. But I highly doubt that anyone from t mobile is going to sell it earlier.

Just like any business, you have a plan. Moto promised them stock for the date they planned. Looks like Moto failed to deliver for whatever reason (could've been a manufacturing issue)

I just called one of the stores on that leaked list. They told me they did not have any for sale but I could come in and pre-order.

Amazon notified me yesterday that the Spigen cases I ordered were "shipped by Spigen" and would be arriving 11/25-28.

Well, this is what I get for not checking the N6 forums yesterday. Stopped by the store and they didn't even know about the delay until I asked about the phone. That's when the rep saw the internal memo saying the launch was pushed back. It's complete BS to push back a launch date the day before. They already knew there was limited supply.

Historically, when do samsung preorders ship?

I ordered a s7 edge through verizon but I have an issue with the delivery date. They are saying they should hit the stores March 11, but I will be in Texas for my Sister in laws wedding from March 9th until the 12th. So the issue is should I keep my delivery for my home in Colorado or have it sent to Texas.
Do the preorders usually go out early? I would think it would only be fair if people who pre-ordered to get it before people can get it at the stores.

Well for T-Mobile USA they sent the S6 a week early for some users. Verizon tends to be on the dot maybe a day early in most cases.

Anyone know how BestBuy handles pre-orders for online shipping?
IIRC, I pre-ordered the s6 edge last year from Verizon (online) and it came 1 day before the release date.

Follow my preorder thread in the discussion threads, I'll update it as soon as any news about early devices being shipped pops. Verified news, not he/she says.
Last year tmo sent devices a week early so I'd imagine the same again regardless.

Thanks for the input! I think I will just have it sent there in hopes that it will be there a little early. They can ship it to me if it gets there late. Man would that drive me crazy though.
I hate that you have to wait until you get your phone to sign up for the VR gear. They said they have limited supply. Since it is going to other countries and carriers first I should hope there will be some left if I get mine a day late or something. One of the main reasons I ordered it was for the VR gear and I would be super ticked if they ran out!

http://www.roadtovr.com/up-to-30000...ll-come-with-us-s7-pre-orders-starting-today/
I am a little bothered by this article saying there will only be 300,000 VR units given in the US. I wonder how many pre orders there will be. I think you receive a VR gear based off of what number you are in the pre order list, not whenever you happened to get your phone. If you get yours late, you might miss your shot. But the way they are advertising it makes it seem like nearly everyone will get one. I hope that is the case.

I'm sure there will be a lot of cancellations if this is the case.

My AT&T preorder says shipping on the 7th to arrive on the 8th. Many sites are reporting preorders will be out 3 days early from the official launch on the 11th.

I just talked to 2 verizon reps and the first one said the phone should arrive on the 11th, and the other checked with her manager and said it would ship out on the eleventh and not arrive until the 14th. To me it makes no sense that the people who preordered will get there phone 2 days after the phone comes out in the store.
I am not throwing any fits because it is unfair, but this is a issue for me because I don't know where to have the phone shipped. And like my earlier post said, it seems that they are only giving out around 300,000 VR Gears, so if I am a couple days late getting it, I may lose my chance at getting the VR gear. ?

I pre-ordered from Best Buy so they will ship the VR with the phone. Also getting a free 64gb SD card.

My S6 edge was delivered on March 30th (T-Mobile), and (I think) the release date was somewhere around April 10th. So, don't be too surprised if you get a shipped confirmation email in the next week or so.

Also plan on getting mine through BestBuy. Seems like less of a hassle than waiting "4-6" weeks for the GearVR to come in.

That does sound nice, but I didn't really want to fork out 300 and be stuck in a contract. I might contact samsung and verizon and try to get some assurance that there will be enough to go around. Otherwise, I might cancel and hold out to see what the V10 sequel has in store.

That link actually proves that you need the IMEI and WiFi address.
First, they mention in the text on that page that you need to fill out the form and submit a receipt. That doesn't say what info is required for the form so it does not suffice as a counter-example, nor any evidence that the receipt is the only information you need.
Secondly, that page provides a link to the actual terms and clicking through you can see that the section on submitting the claim explicitly lists the IMEI number (3.b.iii) and the WiFi MAC address (3.b.iv) in addition to the receipt.
So, IMEI and WiFI MAC are certainly required to claim the Gear VR...

Free Gear VR - How to claim!

Claim here: https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/gearvr/Mobile

You wait until 3/4 for the website to go live. Also that reciept isn't going to help you fully. You still need the Mac Address. So either way you still have to wait for the phone.

Same! i feel like very few people go in a store just to preorder, ya know? If you're preordering a smartphone, you most likely have internet access, ergo, not getting a paper receipt

Yes they allow screenshots of the receipts. I did that last time with the Note 5 for the free Netflix.

On sprint you have to add the gear vr manually or purchased manually and the CS said it comes together as a package.

This. I just ordered two S7 Edges to get one half off and when I added the Gear VR it zeroed out. Only thought it would work for one VR but I decided to add another and still $0. It wasn't til I added the 3rd VR that the price went up.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy online, and it appears that the two free items are coming to me from Best Buy directly.

I received my phone and have to wait till the 4th. The Samsung offer website only allows me to input my email to be notified when it's up I guess.

Looks like I will be out of town the week the vr form is open and when the phone comes in from att. Do I need the phone or can I use the emailed receipt? If I need the phone will they keep allowing the orders to come in for the free vr till the end date since I will be out of town?

Just got my S7 Edge today and had the same experience trying to claim the perks. Nice to find this thread and that I am not alone in trying to figure this out.

Its always better to buy in a shop , mainly because you get to see the phone in real life , plus if there is something wrong with the phone you swap it on the spot , also shops have coupons to claim the free vr as well

Well if t-mobile gave us our pre-order phones in store 2 weeks before the official release date that would be great but we all know that's not happening.

I attached my purchase confirmation email from T-Mobile. It has all of the information they should need, hopefully that works.

I just submitted as well. I printed my payment processing email from T-Mobile to a PDF file as my receipt and listed the date that they charged me as the date of purchase (transaction date as listed in the email) - it wasn't clear if they wanted the order date or the date that the purchase was actually processed so I went with the latter. Hopefully they spot both dates when they go to match it up.

I just completed my claim form as well.
I know someone is going to ask so you need 4 things to process the claim:
-Date of Purchase
-IMEI (In Settings>About Phone)
-Wi-Fi MAC ADDRESS (In Settings>About Phone)
-Photo of your Receipt (I sent a PDF of a email I got from t-mobile that says "Here's your Receipt" which includes the information they request on the receipt being, Qualifying Purchase or Lease, Date of Purchase or Lease within the purchase period, and the Name on the Receipt must match the name on the offer claim form.)
