Hello, I am looking to buy an Atrix Lapdock from the ATT store. I don't have a USA credit card which the store requires, but I do have a paypal verified and confirmed address.
Could a kind soul help me order 2 docks? I am sending them to a freight forwarder in Portland OR who will ship them to me in Singapore.
I'm looking to pay a $25 fee per lapdock for your time.
Please send me a PM if keen, I'm looking for someone who has been here long enough and has a high post count.
Thanks
Gerald
Uhh. Sure. While I'm at it do you want me to give my bank info to the guy emailing me from Nigeria so he can give me 7 US mil?

lol i appreciate the sarcasm here thanks guys.
ebay has them for nearly $499 I'm not willing to pay such a premium!
and no one on the xda forum marketplace is selling the docks.
I'll still hold out maybe someone would be willing to help.

thats how much they cost off contract- $499. To get it in the bundle (Phone + Laptop dock) for $500, you have to sign a 2 year contract with the tethering plan, no one will do that!
ATT sells the phones off contract for $399 plus a $100 mail in rebate = $299.

i bought my atrix a week ago for $499 from an AT&T strore and there was no mention of a rebate. where can i find the phone for $399 and where can i find this $100 rebate (for just the phone)?

This is the price for the phone, not for the dock. If the dock was cheap or came with the phone, you would see them for sale everywhere. But as it stands there are only 2 ways to get the dock
1. Pay full price
2. Get a tethering plan and get dock at reduced price.
If someone gets the dock with the tether plan and doesn't like the dock, maybe they will sell it cheaper. But if they can sell it on eBay for full price - why sell it cheaper.
You are a bit misguided on how the pricing works here.
Best Buy website has dock listed at $399. Only available in store, so it won't help OP, but maybe someone else who wants one can find one in store.

I believe he's thinking about a link originally posted in the accessories forum, although I do believe one also must purchase a phone to get this price.

Also Best Buy is selling them for $399, but they are "not available for shipping".

Have you tried buying it from the Motorola store. It is powered by Amazon which I believe accepts PayPal.
Is it me or are people paying over $850 for the international version of the S3?!?!
That's crazy, the 32GB is $930+ ...
I was hoping the ISPs would carry so I would only have to pay around $200 with contract, and now I'm never going to get one :'(
Whatta hell Bell Canada!

I ordered mine from Handtec for $715 all in, not including import taxes. Still really expensive, but I paid the same for the SII on release.
Mine will run me approximately $760 after taxes and fees imported from clove.co.uk

You must realize that for some (myself included) it is just easier to buy off someone/business that will have it locally than to worry about shipment issues, delays, taxes etc.
As far as I can see, the average price for the international version 16GB is between CAN$720 and $750, add shipping and ON/BC HST on top and you're looking at way over $800. Plus most of these folks on kijiji and craigslist that are selling this, they do it for small profit.
I am patiently waiting for the blue colored one and I go through a great phone importer from BC, i.e. MobileDNA. Those guys are great with the numerous transactions that I have done with them over the years.

Yeah but I wonder what the import/duty fee's will cost? I bought the Nexus One and it cost me about 120$ on a 550$, so I'm assuming if you buy it for $720, you'll end up paying another 200$ for fees!!!

That's where I got my Galaxy Note (they served me well). What kind of price did you get from them? I emailed them just a moment ago.
ya, ive ordered my last couple phones from handtec (HD2, S2, S3) and they've all come up to around the same price of $700 after shipping.
But since i live in Ontario, the tax gets me hard and is usually around $100 once the package comes from FedEX - making it a total of $800
ya its steep, but im such a sucker for new phones so ya.
You're looking at ~$800 if you live in Ontario - other places in Canada will have cheaper tax so you'll pay a bit less
Hola
I have bought from Handtec myself. My greatest concerns were always about getting warranty on these high-end devices. As you would know IF something was wrong with the phone, shipping it back to the UK was required, this in itself was stress. I saw a few posts here when the S2 was originally launched that some folks had to ship it back, and then wait like a few weeks before getting back a replacement. I wanted to avoid this potential issue and hence looked for a Canadian distributor to handle this stuff.
Interestingly the only reputable company I found was way out west in BC... hence I now buy all my latest phones through them.
Killing me to know that I have to wait on the blue colored version until next week or so.

Negri seems to have the best price, I couldn't find an Unlocked AT&T anywhere else. Not even on Amazon.

Our sales tax here is 6%, so for me the $550 becomes a total of $582. That's still less than anywhere else I've found on line by a long shot. Oh, and I confirmed with my local Best Buy that they WILL price match AT&T at $550. So that might be another option.
$649 for no contract or $149 for individual upgrade at Amazon, but they don't charge tax do they? Or I guess it depends on the state your in.

EDIT: it's now $549 for no contract.
best price is free as in beer
AT&T has best no-commit price. And after awhile there will be eBay offering around the same price and without tax. So... Weigh your options, and see. It is time vs money.

well i guess amazon will not ever sell the nexus 7 unless google contacts them and tell them they want to sell their tablets through amazon, of course google (and apple) would never do that. 3rd party sellers are selling the 16 gig version for about $300, i thought that's crazy but i remember i have to pay tax and shipping if i buy from google play store, i live in california, anyone live in CA bought this tablet from google play store? what was the total cost including tax and shipping? do they have free shipping?
the reason i want to buy on amazon is because i have some money in my gift card balance, this seems like a good tablet to buy,
I live in CA and tax and shipping brought it to $287.

I dare say you're better off buying it locally or directly from Google. At least for me it gives me some peace of mind.

Buy locally. You will avoid the shipping costs. You can buy online from Walmart, Office Depot/Max, or Staples & "ship site to store" & avoid shipping too. Also, when you buy locally, if there is a problem with the screen, you can return/exchange immediately.

Allright now the canadian dollar is worth more than the american dollar so why is the nexus 4 more expensive. Shouldnt it be cheaper? Now its 359 for the 16gb version right and fricking taxes and shipping make it 416$! so pissed.

Don't care? Check.
Ask your government, it probably costs extra since it comes from the US.
Either that or Google doesn't like you guys.
Because Cell-phone market is more stable than Stock Market.
Also it doesn't matter how much the cell-phone cost is in one country and compared to other. There may be extra charges like custom duty, tax, and VAT. Thus the price may increase
Currency isn't the only factor involved in pricing.
with google its not so bad but many other companies price hike in different regions; best example i can give is here in australia photoshop is twice the price that it is in the US but our dollar is worth more than the american dollar ......how that makes sense i dont know.
with Google play however its probably added import costs and taxes added to the price $416 is about the same as what we pay in Australia after shipping + tax and i believe US price is like $385-$395 inc tax + shipping so the price difference is pretty close so i don't think its a case of Google screwing regions over.
Probably because it ships from the US into Canada, then there's also tariffs and whatnot. RIM is based in Canada so methinks they really do have an Apple and Android tax.
And in Europe it costs 349 Euro, they just exchanged the currency symbol and added 10 CAD Dollar more.
So basically the unit costs 362 USD in Canada which is still cheaper then Europe with 459 USD (349 Euro)

This is the case with every item sold in Canada. No idea why you think google would price it different. And are you really complaining about the price of the phone being 415 after taxes, find me another phone with the same specs that less than $600 after tax.

Im sorry that im complaining about that much money, i dont have much. If you do please give me some.....douchebag.
The price it is set, is determined by not only currency costs, but also factors such as transportation costs, tariffs (although there is no apple or android tax), in some cases the necessity to have French on it as well. There are many reasons, and simply put we are talk about less than 10$. As it relates to this case, I doubt there is an international tax/tariff, Google has a Toronto office where these phones are from, they are shipped from Kentucky, and no duties are applied, which suggests they are covered under NAFTA.

Then perhaps you should find a different phone with cheaper price instead of complaining here. No one will help you with that attitude.
If i calculated correctly for my province(~15% federal tax+Qc provincial tax) i pay 412 before shipping... besides aren't you used to it yet? We keep getting screwed over on pricing for so many things in Canada its life (although I'm sure other places have it worse) I'm not rly complaining since I'm still gonna get it and brag to all my friends lol its still a pretty good price for a phone like this can't wait (for it to come back on Play store and I can order lol)

Yeah there are some sort of extra fees charged as well, whether it be tarrifs or import taxes, etc. The Nexus4 costing $9 more here is actually quite good compared with the iPads that cost $20 more, and the iPhone5's that cost a whopping $50 more. $50 more, seriously... I'm just happy the Nexus4 is a minute $9 more.
