£45 discount at CWH so quickly. How money back?

I guess we are considered early adopters when buying the galaxy tab in the first few days of launch.
Not even 2 weeks later and in the UK the prices drop, at Carphonewarehouse by £45, 10%
I feel being ripped off and would like the difference back. Not yet successful however...
Anyone else more successful?

Thats not how it works mate. Youve just been a bit unlucky i guess. Got mine yesterday at 469 including the 16GB free.
I guess you paid more than that?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

if you can return the product without suffering a restocking fee just do that and buy one all over again?

Pay to play. 'Nough said. Or, return it if they don't match the price...We will have Black Friday in teh states here and I've heard Best Buy gonna have Verizon tab for $50 less, no contract.

Wow! Great bit of thread necromancy with a thread thats of zero relevence after nearly 4 months!
Regards,
Dave

Hands down cheapest place to buy without contract

Ordered my Galaxy Note already cuz it was supposedly due to arrive for release on 11/01/11 but now AFTER THEY DEBITED MY CC, that may be changing. The new word is it may end up being 11/17/11 after all just as originally announced and this SUCKS of course cuz I chose this over the Nexus due to the earlier release date.
Otherwise I would've waited and saved on the accruing interest charges - although I could've saved the credit just in case of an emergency of some sort. Hell I've never paid full price for a phablet or smartphone before let alone buy an unlocked version.
This better be worth it baby! It better be worth it.
I sure am going to miss getting those updates from Google earlier than a carrier would've released 'em.

how much you ordered ?

I ordered from England @ a place called Clove.co.uk & paid $705 US. But this is for an UNLOCKED PHONE, I will not be bound by any yearly contact with anybody. I'll be free to go to the best carrier with the best coverage & price anytime I want to.
The price is with it to me considering its going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $299 - $399 WITH A 2-year contact. So do I think it worth the price? Hell yes I do!

At that price, it sounds like a European import. US prices are normally much lower, but this is in line with the Cyberport.de offering of € 569 (~ US$ 792.39)

Yup...........

You scared the **** out of me!!! The difference in pricing comes down to the shipping fees. I pre-ordered early, like when they announced it on September 1. I've been hitting the site daily finally saw a sort of decent price and spanked that monkey baby!
It could also have been the exchange rate too. I called Handtec and the difference comes down to shipping making Clove & Handtec pretty much the same price +/- a few $$$. That isn't enough to make me cancel the order and go with Handtec. Also, Handtec seems a little confused when you ask specific questions relating to specs and other info.
Maybe it was just the hit I dealt with - I dunno. Lastly, they're offering a version"network unlocked" which as he described as "upon boot I would see a network logo and from then on it would be basically unlocked, and that could be taken care of by either rooting the PHABLET or some other kind of software solution". Oh the price for that version is roughly £448.99 if you want to take a chance on that. They are expecting to receive they're first shipment on 10/31 and puter-orders will go out that same day.
Sounds awful confusing comming from a sales rep from such a well known dealer. For me that pretty much sealed Handtec' fate of me NOT buying a phablet from them.
Swyped on my HTC EVO 4G Supersonic baby!

Have you received yours from Simply Electronics? I ordered mine a week ago, the money was only taken on Monday but no email confirming dispatch ... cheap but terrible service in my opinion. I have phoned them twice and they have always had stock so simply no excuse for the delay in my mind. Also no option of express delivery annoyed me so I can't really recommend Simply Electronics - wish I'd bought from Amazon.De instead

We ordered on the 2nd, no not yet but apparently it is coming on friday, they seem to be extremely slow, but they are no doubt legit, i have seen alot of people complaining about slow delivery, but they seem to get the products... also if there ebay feedback is anything to go by they seem to be good, so we'll see what happens on friday. its stpidly frustrating though!!!

I can almost forgive Simply Electronics as I think delivery was attempted of my GN this morning... I'll find out tomorrow when I can try and get it back from the Royal Mail sorting office! (not that Simply Electronics told me it was on its way or gave me the tracking numbers... and assuming that's what the missed delivery was...)
If you can stand to wait for delivery of 10-14 days they're probably ok as the price was by far the best I've seen PLUS I found an £8 voucher online which made the price even better

XXKL7 firmware. DBT CSC code switchable to anything you like since it's OXAKL7 CSC.
Under 400£. PM me.

apparently you can get it on contract with low minutes on O2 via third party seller and if you got to thrid party seller via cashback websites like quidco or topcashback then you get about 100£ for contract phones with some providers. Plus if you drop the data plan on the O2 contract then you get the phone for about £440 with free flip cover.
Plus bonus you get Uk charger unlike amazon.de and also you get free 18-24m payments without interest charge if you treat it like buying a sim free phone. mentioned on hotukdeals threads about samsung galaxy note. search for those threads if interested.

Just Google these guys... joke. Simply electronics took 2 weeks, 4 emails and 4 phone calls and a brief communication from Google check out to get me my refund. Keeping in mind I requested the refund 2 hours after payment!
Simply electronics...? simply stay well clear.

There seem to be about as many positive as negative reviews online! and the ebay rating is pretty high (98.9%), esp considering the number of transactions (15443)...
I did get an email from them today apologising for the delay (but not quite managing to actually let me know when it would be dispatched!)
So I live in hope.

I also ordered one to the states on Jan. 9 and I'm still waiting to be dispatched. I don't know if it will ever come but like you said, the reviews for them are lopsided. Either extremely good or extremely bad.... Has anyone here order from them and gotten one? Was it new and comes with everything including product being sealed?

I have seen a couple of other people in this forum say they have recieved theirs from there...
for the american above me.... you could be waiting a while, im in the uk and i ordered on the 2nd... they said it would be here today, but alas, nothing,im really hoping tomorow! if it gets to monday that would be the start of the third week of waiting!

To be honest, I would like a NICE backup phone and for this price it's a hell of a bargain... IMO I know that prices will always fall but if your looking to use this on AT&T or Straight Talk in the US then it's a good deal considering that this device will get the updates quicker (usually) and HSPA+ is fast enough for a lot of people... I will probably ditch one of my Galaxy S 3's to pay for this (mostly) and return this open boxed one that I just got on Monday cause it's acting weird and I paid for a "NEW" item and got an open-boxed N7100 so Amazon can handle that one since it was fulfilled by them... I will probably end up getting a Note 2 on Verizon once the bootloader is unlocked (which you know it will be!) and everything will be grand!! Thanks OP!

What would be the actual shipping cost to Canada including insurance? Are you sure it is not a fair price? I know insurance can get pricey especially when shipping international.

$259 on Ebay

Newegg is selling black or white for $259 on ebay
I just got ordered one directly from newegg site the other day for $279. I never dealt with newegg before. Do you think they would adjust the price on my original order to $259?
If I return the $279 back, does newegg pick up the return shipping or do I?
Not going to lose sleep over the $20, but if pretty simple process and minimal hassle, $20 is twenty bucks

I couldn't get a price match or credit for my order, so I went the ebay route too. I'm thrilled -- I would have bought it at $299, and surprisingly I find it for just $259. Now I just have to wait. Thursday's the big day!

I have been waiting patiently, but then decided today to purchase of eBay for $259, I was going to wait next week so I price match Best buy, but I don't think they will match it nor stay at $259. Or $279 on NewEgg. Hopefully it s a perfect device. thursday.

Same Route
I took the Ebay route too - at 5 am this morning! No other source will approach this price for some time.
Are we getting Newegg's discards? I don't think so, sealed box is sealed box, and the units are advertised as "New" and nothing less.
Let's swap notes when we get our packages.

Talked to Newegg support chat this afternoon giving them my order number from yesterday's order and after some discussion got a $20 gift certificate on the way via email. Better than nothing and still got the $279 deal. Mine is on the way delivery scheduled for Tuesday. Good luck anyone else with the price matching.

Is anyone worries that there are no returns accepted?

You're reading something into the ebay buyer protection program that isn't there. If the item is "not as described" or you didnt received it then it would be covered. Receiving an item with a manufacturing defect is not specified addressed in the terms of the sale and assuming you could utilize the BPP in such a manner would be foolish.

So Newegg doesn't want anything to do with a "I don't like it after all" return, but a new item is covered by manufacturer warranty anyway right?
So it would be more of a pain to deal with manufacturer instead of retailer, but either way you wouldn't be stuck with a lemon right?

Let me share a story that may ease some fears. I dropped my HTC DNA and smashed the screen. Screen repairs are expensive, so I made the mistake of going with the cheapest vendor -- Mission Repair. Not only did they do a shoddy job, gluing the speaker back askew and leaving the red stripes on the side loose, but it was returned with the wifi malfunctioning.
I paid with PayPal (owned by ebay, of course), so I followed their procedures and opened a dispute, where I told my side of the story. Mission Repair actually responded that I should return the unit to them so that they could determine whether there was anything wrong with my phone! Of course this was unacceptable to me, so I escalated the case to a claim, which would force PayPal to intervene. I summed up my story and MR was given 10 or 14 days to respond.
I guess they realized that they had no ground to stand on, because AFAIK PayPal never heard back from them. Right after MR's response period expired, PayPal refunded me the cost of the repair. Well, in the meantime, the problem with my wifi cleared up. I wasn't about to say anything, though, because I felt I deserved at least a response from MR. If the wifi had still been broken, I would have pushed for more than the repair cost.
So, the point of the story is that PayPal and ebay seem serious about resolving disputes. I don't know about ebay buyer protection, but it's easy to get PayPal to arbitrate a claim. If this doesn't put many minds at ease, just look at NewEgg's 99.5% positive rating on ebay.
