But if you buy it online from Costco.com, you get free shipping and free gel case
http://androidcommunity.com/motorola-xoom-wifi-589-at-costco-with-free-gel-case-free-shipping-20110317/
but you have to wait a few days more. April 1st instead of March 27th.
Returning my 3G Xoom to Cosco this weekend and getting the Wifi version. Yay
"Pre-order now and it will begin shipping April 1, 2011."
That's kinda stupid....
Would be nice if they offered the gel case in store too...
Mine was sent to fulfillment already, wonder what will happen?

They very well might have the same deal in the store, if they stock it there. We'll have to wait until 3/27 to see for sure, unless somebody leaks the sales sheet like they did prior to the 3G's launch.

Just did this yesterday. The guy at the Verizon sales booth, who was the same guy that originally sold it to me, was like "oh no, you don't like the Xoom?"
I told him about the upcoming wifi version, and even he agreed that what I was doing was a good idea.
it has been proven that lack of availability is not an issue (meaning they are not flying of the shelf's) so why pre-order when i can walk to a Cotsco and buy and there wont even be a line
I just preordered through amazon prime and got free 2 day shipping and didn't pay tax. Hopefully I'll have it by the 28th.

+1.. I thought about the Costco route, but with tax the total would be more (even including the 'value' of the gel case - which I wouldn't use anyways). At least with Amazon it's $599 OTD.

Thats exactly what im gonna do. Plus costco has teh 90 day return policy, so if some crazy new tablet comes out i wont have any buyers remorse.

To those who pre-ordered on Amazon, would you mind checking your order information in the Amazon app (Android or iPhone).
I pre-ordered the wifi-only Xoom as soon as it went up on Amazon, and when I check my order information on the Amazon app (not the main website) there is a date under the "Two-Day Shipping" that says "April 29, 2011", above "Ship my items as they become available."
I sincerely hope that is not how long it is going to take before they can fulfill the order and it's just some oddball date that is showing up on my order info.
This date, nor any date at all, shows up on the regular Amazon website when I go view my open order.

Amazon picks a random date when they don't list the real launch date on the main page, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get an email a week before with the real ship date. I pre-order games all the time on Amazon and this always happens.

I went to Canada Computers today to see if they'd be getting it next week. The staff didn't know though the system did show SKUs for both 16gb and 32gb (no dock listed). These are not listed on their website yet.
16gb: $449
32gb: $549
Maybe someone can confirm this...so much for parity.
Edit: Grammar fail.
I have a friend living in Canada. Might ask her to get me one if I can't get one in the US.

I seriously hope this isn't true.. $50 more isn't a deal breaker, but I bet the keyboard will be more as well..
Wait a sec... if they raise the Transformer $50 and the keyboard $25 or 50, we're talking well over $600, $700 with tax. The cheapest Honeycomb tablet is quickly becoming the most expensive!
EDIT: Just checking some US prices on other tablets - they are the same price in both Canada and the states for the Playbook and Xoom. If Canadian dealers are going to play games with pricing because of popularity, the transformer will be my last purchase at the store which overcharges.
The exchange rate is currently around $1US to $0.95CDN and Asus posted that $399 press release with Canada in mind. Here's hoping to that price being a premature placeholder until they get stock (which was 0 when I went). Hopefully, there'll be deals coming out in the next few days and price matching opportunities too.

Let's hope it's just a temporary price. I don't think so though. Futureshop raised the price of the Asus A500 $50 and I can see others doing the same with the Transformer.

Maybe shipping from the states would be cheaper. Or a road trip would be nice, assuming a $75 difference with tablet and dock, I'd say that's enough gas money.

I would rather pay $399 + $50 to ship than $449 + tax. I've ordered 6 packages from the US over the past month and the shipping costs ranged from $5 - $20 (large box).

Unfortunately, I can't post links yet, but it looks like you are reading the xe.com chart wrong. Do a specific currency conversion of 1 CAD to USD and you'll see what I mean. I'm not trying to be pendantic or anything, but the conversion rate is something I follow closely for various reasons.
As you said, though, Canada tends to get screwed over regardless. I'm pretty sure I dropped an extra $50 or so on my Archos 101 when I got it compared to the US, but it ended up being worth it for the shipping expense I would have had otherwise. It looks like Canada Computers is mostly closed today, so hopefully I can call tomorrow and see if I can get a verification.

Contacted BestBuy today in regards to shipping the Galaxy Tab 10.1
They are not shipping the unit until the 17th, therefore I probably won't get it until the 20th or later.
I'm seriously thinking of canceling my order and just going to BestBuy to get it at my local store on the 17th. Hate to pay for shipping and get it later than expected.
are you sure it's even going to be in stores on the 17th? it is not even in the weekly ad

That is the national release date...
Since they were able to launch it at the one store in NY on the 8th, I was hoping they would have it setup so that those of us who pre-ordered would have it on the 17th. It would be a let down to see people going to Best Buy on the 17th & posting on the forums how great the device is, while those of us who pre-ordered are at home still waiting a few days for it to arrive.

Isn't that always the case for pre-ordering unless the item is hot and will sell out in stores instantly? My experience with pre-ordering is sometimes you get it early but most times you get it later than expected.
I don't think GTab is that hot.

Don't even waist your time with Best Buy. I ordered mine off of Amazon and it has a delivery estimate of June 21st. Plus you don't have to pay shipping or sales tax. save yourself $42, plus amazon has a way better and easier return policy.

Amazon sounds like a much better deal. I would definitely go that route, but I have BestBuy gift cards tied to my order. So I will have to stick with BestBuy. Otherwise I would go through Amazon.
is it too late in the game for a pre-order?
what are my chances of strolling into a BB store on friday morning (within 10 minutes of them opening their store) and snagging a tab?
more importantly, what is BB's return policy?
I'm torn between this and the ipad2 for my dad and need to make a decision within 5 days since I have to send it overseas with a relative.
does BB charge a restocking fee for galaxy?
I already have an ipad2 so I know it's behavior.
my reason to buy the tab for my dad is so that it's easy for him to sync his media between his home and office PC's, updated gmail and youtube client, ability to play xvid and avi files and the ability to drag and drop files from ANY pc to the tablet (he's not going to go for that apple iTunes sync with 1 pc crap though there are ways around it...)
When I returned my ipad 2, they didn't give me a refund. They said that they could only give me a gift card with the amount of my purchase. The ipad 2 was also un-opened. I'm using the gift card balance to purchase the Tab 10.1

99.9-100%.
Seriously, folks. Just because you are excited about this device (as am I) doesn't mean its a line-up-at-door-at-3am blockbuster product. Demand for the 10.1 Tab will be good, but not sell-out good. The only thing that would make a retail outlet sell out would be low supply, which is unlikely since the production device went final weeks and weeks ago.
If the order status still says "In Process" by Wednesday, I will cancel & just grab one at the store on Friday.
Just ordered mine off of Amazon...$499 + $3.99 one day shipping. Best part is saving $50 on tax. I got my email receipt and it says estimated delivery is 20th but hopefully it ships on 17th, Amazon has shipped things earlier before.

I'm not as optimistic. I worry the national launch was delayed from the 8th to 17th because of supply issues. And look at the ASUS Transformer, it's still hard to find in stock over a month after launch.
Samsung is making this tablet super thin and using a new Super PLS display, manufacturing issues could be a concern.
Only way this is going to sell out is if there are like three in the store, which i think might be the case
relax folks, look what happened to launching in NY. its only one store and there still left over after 24hrs.. this is national launching and i bet you have a lot of BB around you
Yeah, I don't think this will be on high demand... There is more Honeycomb tablets to choose from.
FYI
I returned my ipad 2 at bestbuy and got my money back on my card. Full refund. They do give you a 14 day return policy, I think.

Right, I canceled my order at BB and got it at amazon. The 16GB was $540, estimated delivery after the 21st, with amazon I got the 32GB at $604, with one day shipping (I couldn't resist), estimated delivery the 20th!

BB has a 14 day return window for in-store purchases (not sure about online purchases). No restocking fee, and really no questions asked when I returned my XOOM, waiting for the Samsung device.
I do like Amazon return policy, but really no where near as easy as driving down to BB with the device in-hand and exchanging with a human being. No return label and carrier pick-ups to deal with.

fair point about wirefly, not sure why they'd need that anyway. As far as the costco order, it was originally posted that the expected processing date was "on or before 5/3". we all knew that when placing the order.
problem is, they aren't saying anything about when they're expected to process to anyone who calls/emails. the silent treatment is annoying a lot of people.
turns out that the link: http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/10214 now says 5/8. not sure if that applies to those of us who ordered earlier, or to the new batch of orders. Guess we'll know on Fri. Either way, they have my order b/c they offer free activation as well, so it's 199 + add'l $36 savings + some random accessories.

So lets say it does actually process my order on the 8th (probably later though due to ordering later). The 8th is a wednesday. That means most likely the phone won't ship out until monday the 13th or later. According to http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/content/do/shipping, it takes 4-7 days just to ship it out. So i wouldn't get it until the 17th- 20th at the earliest. This is assuming there will be no more delays. Plus, it will cost me extra for the membership or the hassle of trying to get a free membership trial. Amazon is saying it will arrive the 22nd but from my experience it can be earlier than estimated. Plus That's after the 2day shipping which is free. Is it really worth the hassle and possible extra money to get it 2 days earlier? Now if i get get it today brick and mortar that would be a totally different story.
Amazon also has a great return policy (you know just in case)
haha well that's up to you. i'm hoping they're updating the link in combo with their expected batches. That'd put me in the 5/3 batch. so i'm expecting mine around the 8th.
ps. you don't need a membership to purchase from costco wireless.

Actually, I'm in the same boat - was hoping for a good reason to be talked out of waiting too. If Amazon will drag it out, maybe another deal may pop up. Still happy with my SGII, so no hurry to ditch it while hoping to get to that magical $150 new subscriber cost.

I agree. And did the same.
$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.

17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.
My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.

I pre-ordered thru best buy. They are going to give me $200 for my Nexus S 4G!!! (It normally only would get $14.00 trade in) I also signed up last year for a $50 discount on my next phone at best buy. So if the honor amazon at $299, after $200 trade in and my additional $50 discount. I'll be paying $49.99 total with contract which I already paid into a gift card to pre-order it.
How did you get the $50 price cut from best buy a year ahead of time?

Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.
hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299
Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.

I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.
I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:
Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:
The online prices of retailers not listed
Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer
put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in .
While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.
I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?
sprint pre-order
I just pre-ordered the Note 4 from Sprint....$329 total....can't wait !!!!!!!!

It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.
