Here is the coupon
This would be a steal if people snagged this one up!
great deal. thanks
Has anybody used this coupon to buy a TF at Staples lately? For only $300?? Do they still have them in stock?
Thanks
I've been thinking about getting a tablet but I don't even see myself using my netbook too much.
But at this price I might bite the bullet...
Wow! This is an AWESOME deal! This is your chance to get the transformer you have been waiting for

seems in my area the Transformer is only available online, not at retail stores, still gona have to go in and take a peek, $100USD off worth a little leg work since coupon looks like its only good for "in store" sales, not online.
What a scam! The Staples near me said Transformer is online only and not sold in stores.
Supposedly you have to go into the Store, use a Kiosk, and say "Pay Here" (at the store). They ring you out IN the store where you can use the coupon.
You can't order it online for the coupon.
Problem is when I go to staples.com they are sold out and have been sold out of the 16GB model.
I don't think I'll be able to order it at an online kiosk in stores either. I think the best bet is to try to price match at Walmart or OfficeDepot.
All 15+ Walmarts in my area are out of stock too though unfortunately. I wonder if it's possible to do an online purchase in store and apply a price match.

What your local Staples have said is true and not a scam. It is only available online to buy. I know this because I bought one last week from Staples (ordered from kiosk from online, paid in-store, delivered to house).
I heard Office Depots accept this coupon.

Does this possibly mean you can "order" the unit in the retail store, pay for it then/there and pick it up when it comes in --possibly, do you know? If so, I can work that option

I can confirm that Office Depot will take the coupon (at least here in Houston) just got a second 32Gig less than an hour ago, but they don't even stock the dock, so I guess I be lookin' to get one from Newegg.

Aww man.. Of course this would happen a week after I got mine :/
Also got mine from Office Depot as they honored the coupon.
However, slickdeal users have been noting that a memo has been issues to managers that they shouldn't be honoring the coupon anymore unless you can provide a staples store that has the item in stock as well in the local area.
I also got mine at Office Depot. They also had one dock in stock but not sure if I want the dock yet. After taxes it was like 322 which is a steal IMO.

B1ackplague,
I owe you. I already have a 32GB TF with dock bought from TigerDirect but I just bought a Xoom at Best Buy 9 days ago when the price dropped to $499.00. I took your coupon into Best Buy and asked them if they could do anything for me on this recent Xoom purchase and they handed me $106.65 in cash. My Xoom cost me $399.99! Awesome! Like I said, I owe you for bringing attention to this deal in our forum! Thanks!
Nice! Just picked up the 32gb from Office Depot. Thanks for the coupon.
Sent from my G2x using XDA App
I price matched the Staples $100 at Office Depot and it worked. They had to call Staples to confirm the coupon was valid and then they had to get a district manager to approve it.
They did not have the TF so I pick up the galaxy tab 10.1 for 424.99 thanks for the coupon
I ordered one. Helpful staff. Came in 7 days of shipping.

***** $209.99 DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING I BOUGHT MINE WHILE THEY WERE LISTED FOR $199.99 AROUND FEB. 1ST 2012. I PAID IN TOTAL $234.99 SHIPPED TO MY DOOR IN SEVEN DAYS. STILL THE BEST DEAL I COULD FIND. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE FIND A BETTER DEAL!!!!*****
My apologies for the misleading title!
Looks too good to be true...
where are you located.. That company is only 600 miles or so from me maybe less. I will give them a call if they still have them mid week..
thanks for the link..
Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..
again Thanks
Thats a steel of a deal right there
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

No problem! I love to help! Especially when it deters people from Ipad/Iphone/Ipod... not flaming them I am just pro-open source. The fact that Apple will electronically murder your phone if they find out you jailbreak..... reminds me of the southpark episode "Humancentipad"..... sorry I had to bring that up >.< so gross.... like apple... *cough*.... again this is just an opinion so nobody get disgruntled please. ^_^
Oh yeah i'm not a BB fan either except for test runs! It's awesome to have everything you can get online for half as much right at your fingertips for pre-purchase testing!

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...
~Much love to the community.
Just ordered one for a friend. Total with plain ole ground shipping, $244.99! Thanks for the heads up.
thats a steal!!!

I got mine for $199 + $35 shipping from them. Im pleased with it and it was in perfect shape. They reported it as new open box but was actually a refurbished one. That being said it was a great tablet @ a great price. Get one while you can.

Great find! This is cheaper than I've been buying them off of Craig's List!
I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.
very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.
My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Woot Buy
Got my Acer Iconia a500 from the woot website. I bought a 32gb refurbished a500 with wifi (standard with 90 day Acer warranty) and I received it in about a week and a half. It cost me 300 plus 5 dollars shipping and it has been working great so far. Love the forums by the way, very helpful (first time poster here).

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

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.

My local BB did price match the coupon (local staples only had the 16gb, I wanted the 32). Still stuck paying tax versus amazon, but out the door at 254.39 for the 32.

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

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?

@narc0tics
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.

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.
I bought my Idol 3 on Discover card, can I file a claim?

Check your PM's.
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)
