Might as well buy from ebay. Same thing! Amazon sux for anything unless its sold and shipped by amazon

thats not really sold by amazon though, thats just being sold through amazon

Your right. I didnt notice they were private sellers...

Hello folks!
Is there anything wrong in getting it from Amazon - US, even if its private seller?
I was thinking of ordering it from Amazon for two reasons:
1. Using Amazon's 12 month interest free finance option
2. At least initial return (within 7 days) would be easy, IF something is wrong with the device?
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

I have been watching amazon resellers and considering them. Most of them are on ebay too. But see my other thread--for a 790 price expansys usa has the device in stock and they have a better return policy--that I would trust more IMHO.

Yes, i did your post about them. I guess I should order it from Expansys-US. Just wanted to take advantage of without interest 12 month payout from Amazon.
Thank you again!

Just ordered mine through another seller (Techno.Trading.House) on amazon for 770+8 for expedited shipping and i used my store card for the 12 month financing.

Hey,
Do you know if they have EU version or any other? I've sent them an email, I've not received any replies yet.
Thanks

It dropped to $794 + free shipping. Sold by Expansys via Amazon

After multiple delays they canceled my order so I just went and got it from newegg. Since it came from Jersey to Maryland I got it the next day. Loving it so far.

Got mine at eBay from networkgurus for $749, it just dropped to $729. It ships from Georgia. The seller was very prompt with his emails. Ordered yesterday and got it today B)

Figured I'd make this one stop thread for early adopters like myself wanting to get the device on launch date. Or even those who cant get it on launch date but to use as a future reference.
I'm in the US on ATT hoping to get it same day shipped on released.

Hspa+ bands on the international will most likely work on att right? But not lte?

Most likely so, as I use the I9100 with hspa+ and unlimited data for $15.
I personally don't mind not having lte, especially since nyc hspa gives me 4-6 down and 2 up unlimited.

My two places of choice are expansys uk and clove.co.uk. Either one of those two I'll be ordering mine from. I usually get overnight AM delivery with expansys coming to New York

For me personally it is also important to consider insurance. If I'm forking over 700 US$ I want to protect my investment
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Amazon has them but hardly ever at release date. MoCity usually have them but the price is normally more expensive from what I remembered. Clove normally had the best price.
But from my experience with clove and expansys, you have to pay upfront. But remember this for those in the USA, if you order from UK sites we don't pay vat and the total including shipping is cheaper than ordering from America.
With regards to insurance, never had a problem personally, but if I did samsung has warranty covering it.

I ordered by Galaxy Nexus through Handtec (handtec.co.uk) and had a good experience with them. If I do pull the trigger and order a GS3 then I will probably do it through them. Depending on price.

Expansys been taking pre orders for them.
Expansys UK
Expansys US
Negri Electronics
Carphone Warehouse

I always buy electronics from Negri. There probably the best customer service I've dealt with. It all comes down to personal preference with this type of stuff.

The pre order links are back up on expansys for both white and blue colors as well as 16, 32 and 64 gb versions. I pre ordered all six as I am not sure which color or size is going to be available on release date.

this first release of S3 will only work on Bell, Rogers, Fido, Telus
I'll wait for the Tmo release, which is usually like the 3rd incarnation of the same phone every year
as AT&T and Verizon or Sprint usually gets the 2nd generation release of the same phone

[Q] Where To Find Nexus 7 16 GB in New York?

Hello folks,
I got a friend going to New York City and he's going to buy us a Nexus 7 (16GB).
Can you guys please tell me what stores have it in stock? He was in Canada and couldn't find it anywhere.

Your best bet is to keep an eye on Radioshack and Staples.
Radioshack DOES NOT stock the N7 in stores at all, but if it goes back in stock online, you can order with ship to store.
It was out of stock this past sunday, I bought it when it went back in stock monday morning, its out of stock again now.
I picked free (standard) shipping, ship to store. It shipped Tuesday and I picked it up yesterday after it arrived at Radioshack around 5:40pm.
Staples DOES stock the N7 in stores, but in very limited quanitites. You can use their site to check if its in stock at their stores or not.
Always give them a call first though, dont just go to the store assuming the site is up to date.
B&H, Adorama, and Gamestop stock the N7 as well but theyre all sold out for a while it seems.

Looks like nobody has it in stock but your friend might get lucky. The poster above me said it all. Im in NY and after checking all of the local stores I finally had to order it from the play store. Walmart also carries them so have your friend check them too.
Heres an article that lists where to get them from http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407732,00.asp

I got my N7 at a staples but in 8gb. Some stores in fort Lee, the Bronx or Manhattan might have the 16gb one

He only has to call one of each store and have them check their system for inventory of nearby stores. It's quick and easy that way.

Try micro center on Long Island, Westbury, NY. it's about 45 mins outside of the city to the east. I got my Nexus 7 16GB version a few weeks ago, At that time they had over 25 in stock. Would recommend you give them a call...

Staples on 104th street and Atlantic has them in stock. I bought 2 of the 16gb versions couple days ago.

Hi guys,
I have the same request, since in a couple of week I will go to NY for 3-4 days. Where could I find a physical store to buy a 16GB Nexus 7, in Manhattan?
I would prefer a physical store so that I can also have it tax free...
Unfortunately I see that Best Buy does not sell this device. Have you got another name?
Thank you,
giopas
EDIT: apparently GameStop would be the solution. I still do not know if I will pre-order it and make it shipped at the nearest shop or rather I will just try to buy at the store once arrived.

Good evening, I have a friend in Greenwich Ville in New York and I asked her to buy a Nexus 7 16GB for my son, but she is not finding any stores that are selling, she was at Best Buy and found there. Someone could tell me where she could find the Nexus 7 with more easily?

so many people living in New York I want too! I don't know why people are searching for Nexus 7, I think it is more difficult to find lets say.. a nexus 10 right? Now I can see Nexus 7 in many stores ^^
From official webpage it is 199 16gb and 250 32gb.. I bought mine for 222 (thinking it was the 16gb version and the shop added 23€ as margin) but then I realised it was the 32gb version and asked why it was so cheap compared to official price.. I still think all of those nexus 7 are defective or something :/

[UK] Nexus 7 UK Discussion Thread

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK

I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.

Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.

Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday

I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.

Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)

I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

I live in Belgium

Purchased mine from Ebuyer on Monday and it should arrive Wednesday. Cannot wait.

Just checked the Play Store out of curiosity - the new Nexus 7 is live. I presume it went live at midnight. Ordered mine from Ebuyer though, to get it on Thursday.

Any discount code from the retailers? Planning of getting the 32GB WiFi, but considering LTE.

Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:

I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Yes but I only can buy with paypal and they don't work with that.
is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?

Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.

Black Friday on Oppostyle

http://europe.oppostyle.com/
Oppo Find 5 White 16Go (international version) price drops to 299€.
Oppo Find 5 Midnight 32Go (international version) price drops to 349€.
Oppo R819 Black or White 16go price drops to 249€.
EDIT:
Free shipping across the EU...
OR NOT!!! (Read the thread)
Apparently, some of their packages are now sent directly from Hong-Kong...
Which is plain stupid, since there's at least 50% chances that your local customs will hold the package and ask you for extra fees including the VAT.
This, of course, is a normal process when buying from outside the EU. Whenever I order something from Japan or China, I already know that I'll have to pay the customs fees upon receiving my package.
However, Oppostyle claims all around their website that they "ship from the EU" (and this was actually true when I ordered my Find 5 from them a few months ago).
If now they start to randomly deliver orders directly from Hong Kong, they are supposed to inform you before you place your order!
So, watch it if you still wanna buy anything from them.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, I've ordered mine on thursday midnight and the Find 5 was shipped from HONG KONG 4 days later. It got stopped at Croatian customs (where I am from). Asking for the amount I payed, full details of the phone, where it was ordered from, some EORI code I had to activate. After this they would charge me VAT (25%) + custom fees. Too much hassle, canceled my order. "Shipping from EU" was one of the biggest reasons I ordered from OppoStyle, and now this happens. They even tried to declare the package is worth 155 USD, but customs are customs.

Not sure where you placed your order, but oppostyle Europe doesn't ship anything from Hong Kong. They ship from the U.k. Hence the free shipping and no custom taxes whatsoever...

I ordered from europe.oppostyle.com. I contacted the support and they said they would refund me the money that I need to pay the customs but only after I pay it. I don't have the money (25% of the price + more). But it wouldn't have come to this if they only shipped it from UK like stated in their TOS and rest of website. I don't know why they choose to mail it from Hong Kong, but it costed them one customer.

That really sucks balls... Sorry that this happened to you, and il hope nobody else will have to deal with that kind of crap!
