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.

Xoom Price Drop

Ok I just bought my Xoom (Wifi Only) yesterday and already there is a price drop from $599.99 to $589.99.......
Not complaining cause I love my Xoom. I was up using it for 7 hours straight until my wife game me a dirty look....... (was about 1:00 am. then)
For all of us who bought the Xoom at BestBuy I would suggest taking your receipts back and having them refund you the difference (including tax). Since they do have a 30 day price match guarantee.

Update: Looks like you can get a Xoom a little cheaper!! (and get free shippin)
http://www.store.motorola.com/dp/B004Z1AIFM

Done im a whole $9.01 richer today then i was Sunday lol

Xoom for $539 (Free Shipping and Free Dock)
Well it looks like you can not get a Xoom from Motorola for $539 with 2 Day Free shipping and also a Free Dock
http://www.store.motorola.com/dp/B004Z1AIFM
Also a 30 Day Hassle free return...... all from Motorola.

My experience with the Motorola store was anything but hassle free. It took repeated phone calls and a total time period of 6 weeks before I received a credit for returned merchandise. Although everyone I spoke with in my frequent phone calls was pleasant, there appeared to be zero follow through. In my opinion, they are an example of a terrible business model. There are several posts on another forum that would confirm this.

That xoom is a refurbished unit....

i google and found the price of Xoom is $799, but the wifi xoom only $600.

$569 at Walmart.com. I was able to price match with Military Exchange to get that price tax free w/free shipping.
32GB Transformer w/ NY tax & shipping that I was going to get is almost the same price.

Dumped the acer and bought a xoom again after returning it when it first came out as wifi. It is much better now with the update but as far as price goes, I picked up an open box one at best buy for 539.00 It still had the original clear plastic on the tablet. basically it was new. Anyway, running on 3.1 now and happier than a pig in s**t

Woopie!!! need to replace my laptop

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).

Office Max deals

If you have a store nearby and they have the device, you can get 20% off until 1/11/2014. The online coupon details indicate only "select" tablets so not sure about the N7 with online purchase, but store purchase has no such disclaimer and includes tablets and eReaders on the coupon.

Thanks for this. Just a heads-up, I caught this deal last night, then called Best Buy to get a price match. They ended up doing so, and giving me the White version of the 32GB (which they're recently started to stock) for a total of $234 shipped, which is retail minus 20% plus local sales tax. Can't ask for much better a deal than that!

When I called best buy, the rep asked for the price match and was told no by whomever stating they don't price match coupons?! So I will be returning the first one I bought from them (had a dead pixel and dust under the screen) and buy from officemax. Their loss.

That's a bummer. When I spoke with the BB rep, they had to do some verification behind the scenes. I was surprised they matched it for me because I was requesting the white model but price matching it to Office Max's black model (they don't have white). Nonetheless, OMX was sold out online, and but had the option of buying online for in-store pickup. So as soon as the BB rep could get a hold of the store to verify the price, they OK'ed it. You're right, I suppose it's their loss. They'd still make plenty of margin on the sale, even with the 20% off.
To be honest, I'd say you call back and try it again while the sale is still on. I've read OMX is ending the sale soon, and best buy should ultimately honor the price. I think the turning point for me was when I showed then that you can add it to your cart online and have the out-the-door price show up as the 20% off. Anyway, best of luck to you.

The rep actually felt bad about it stating he should have done it after checking the site himself because it was taking so long to get a response from whoever does the price checks. Also, since the one I bought three days ago in store from them had defects, he said he maybe should have told them that too since he said they don't like to do price matches. He did see it was sold out online but I told him that it was available for pickup in store, from both retailers (apparently, best buy was showing out of stock on his side, but I was able to add it to my cart). I just would have preferred to order from best buy. Didn't even think about getting them to call a store. Went ahead and ordered from office max

I see. Sorry you had a poor experience with the previous purchase, but at least you were able to get the deal. I agree, though, on purchasing from BB. I dont necessarily prefer BB for all purchases in general, but in this case, I'd definitely prefer them over OMX.

I picked up a new Nexus 7 this past weekend. Thanks OP for the info on the Office Max discount. The closest Office Max to me is 65 miles away; however I got my local Best Buy to price match the 20% discount. I spent a week debating whether or not to buy the 16gb or the 32gb model. Ended up getting the 32gb that I wanted for the price of the 16gb! Total was $228 with tax.

Best Buy deal

Went to buy the 4 With Walmart ad for price match on their $40 off deal. Found out Best Buy started deal better. Came out with Note 4 half price.
Glad I waited a little

I dont see this deal anywhere. Is this in-store only?

Not sure. I didn't know about it . My wife went to get it and when she showed the Walmart ad to him he said he had a better deal.
Gave her $150 gift card and let her use it on phone. She called me very happy as was I.
I Was just complaining about my luck the day before because Walnut was sold out.
Turns out that was a blessing!

I did a little searching. You must have gotten them to price match with the Costco deal:

I'm considering doing this today. Did Best Buy allow you to use the gift card on the Note 4 purchase?

Tried two Best Buys with no luck. As usual, it seems each Best Buy has their own policy. One BB said they wont price match Costco. The other said it was for new lines only. Did you get this through a new line? I just want to upgrade my line. I kinda wish I didnt goof on missing the trade in deal...

l added a line. 1 had not seen it advertised either. My wife went to pick it up with the Walmart ad and the rep told her he could do that but had something better.
She said he printed out something, then scanned a Barcode off the print out and told her she would get a $150 gift card. He then told her she could use it towards the phone.
I asked her and he never told her what it was he printed out or what. We were just elated it happened.
For reference this was in Valdosta, Georgia.
If needed I will try and post receipt

Hey! I work at Best Buy Mobile! So let me clarify this deal for you guys! It shouldn't have been a price match to WalMart or CostCo. We normally don't match ads with CostCo because you have to pay them for a membership and it isn't a public store, so they're able to afford putting up crazy-ass deals as they do, and we don't match WalMart (in the Mobile department) because almost every single phone is subsidized and the price is set by the carrier for us, so we cannot modify the price because we end up losing whatever difference in price there is as we don't get that refunded to us from the carrier. Also, we do direct contracts with the carriers that we support, unlike Car Toys and CostCo and a few other places which run under third-party contracts.
Not too sure what deal you guys got onto, but for the rest of this week only you will receive a $150 gift card per NEW LINE you start with Verizon right now. Husband and I just upgraded to Note 4s tonight by porting into Verizon from AT&T/T-Mobile and got $300 back in gift-cards, which we used to pay for the deposit that Verizon wanted from me ('cause my credit isn't too good and I was more interested in the Edge program anyway.)
So, what probably happened is that you added a new line, which qualified for the instant gift which is able to be applied toward the cost of the phone (if you're buying it on a 2-year contract, doesn't work toward your device payments via Edge [unless you have to pay a deposit]). Also just so that everyone is aware, if you're on a More Everything Plan, make sure that you're aware that this month there is a promo plan through Verizon where the 10GB plan is going for $80 and $100 for the 15GB plan.
