Pricing between stores

So the epic 4g has finally been announced - august 31 for $250. Is there any chance that other retailers like best buy or radio shack will sell the phone for more like 200? It seems as though most phones are priced at 200 already. Will the epic see a drop in price anywhere?

I don't think any stores can sell it for a different price. The best you can expect is instant rebates instead of mail in at places like Best Buy and maybe a gift card like a lot of places did for the Evo and Droid X

Physical stores don't tend to sell for less. However websites do. On Amazon the captivate and vibrant were both $150 on release day, and on the 2nd day they had both hit $99.99. I could see the epid 4g going as $200 then $150 or maybe $150 then $100, it's hard to say for sure though.

It would be nice. The mail in rebates don't help offset the cost very well. You have to have the phone for 30 dats before you can submit it and then up to 12 weeks to receive it. In the mean time you have to pay $350 up front.

Radioshack just called me 2day concerning the epic. Preorders start Friday 8/13/2010 with $50 down, u get a gift card and pay the rest on the 31st. Overall price is $249. This is at the waterfront store here in Pittsburgh, pa. Thought y'all would want to know.

@ygulp does radio shack offer instant rebates??

About amazon:
how hard is it to get one ot the phones off of amazon? Do they sell out quick?
Also, do you have to go through the rebate process to get money back? This sure sounds like a great deal vs buying through sprint. My only issue is availability.

Can't comment on availability much. I have only been watching the Galaxy S phones on there, but the Captivate and Vibrant both had 0 issues with stock, I never once saw them sell out on amazon. The evo I have even seen on amazon once or twice, and I've never seen it anywhere else in stock online. The droid X is shipping in 1-2 weeks though. Popular phones get backstocked. The EPIC 4g is it hard to say whether it will be backordered or not for sure. There isn't really even a guarantee that Amazon will get it on the first day or at all.
The EVO 4G btw isn't discounted at all despite being out for so long, but other phones from sprint are, I think stock availability is likely to play a major role in pricing.

Thanks for your help and advice! Much appreciated to save a little $

I reserved an epic at BestBuy but I'm checking Amazon and Newegg on release day.

Hey kennethlongshaw,
How did you pre order already from best buy? I don't see any epic 4g pre order info on their site. I'll try calling one of their stores tomorrow. I would really like to purchase through best buy so I don't have to do a rebate.

Anyone else's order ship through letstalk yet?

I saw that letstalk.com had the Epic Touch 4G to be shipped today (Sept. 12th). Mine's awaiting carrier approval, but I'm eager to see if anyone else's order has shipped.

I am putting a hex on anyone that gets it before me! Kidding obviously. 9am on Friday...it will be mine! My second line doesn't reset until 12am on the 16th so I couldn't pre-order it.

I was told on phone that it will not be ready to ship until friday later in day. They said if the release day is on the 16th then that's when they receive the phone. I don't know how true that is. I would imagine they would get it at least one or two days in advance, but I could be wrong.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I was expecting it to ship on Thursday or Friday, so arriving Friday possibly Saturday or Monday...but somewhere I read someone saying they were going to be sent on the 12th but I didn't quite believe it.
I've also seen some random phones getting shipped out early from some other recent phone launches so just wishful thinking.

I just ordered mines over the phone. I was told they won't be receiving the phone till Friday. So it won't ship till Friday. Hopefully the person was wrong and they receive and ship the phone early. Either way I got the overnight shipping for an extra $18. Now lets play the waiting game and watch more "amateur hour" reviews.

I just called amazonwireless customer service and they said if its an older grandfathered in play, you'd have to order it through sprint. But customer service isn't always right so....

Ordered mine on Sunday from letstalk/walmart and also chose the $18 overnight shipping. My status has been on "Carrier Approval" for 2 full business days, Sprint pulled my credit report on Sunday.
I do also remember the website explicitly saying orders would start shipping the 12th, but it doesn't seem like that is accurate.

I've just confirmed with chat that they don't do Saturday delivery, either, which means we won't be receiving these until Monday. I suppose it was still worth it for saving $70 or so, but that's still too bad.

[Q] GameStop vs. Play Store

I'm kind of on the fence on whether or not I want to order from GameStop. There's the obvious cost benefit with no shipping, but I haven't been able to confirm if it has all the same bonuses as the Play Store. Plus they list the shipping date as July 31st, and I can barely wait for it as it is. What's your guys opinion on the better choice? I wanna order it soon, I'm really excited for it!

Nope, I've already pre-ordered from Play Store. Anyone that pre-ordered from GS, have they given you a release date yet?

No date per se, just says it'll ship in 3-4 weeks.

Questions go in the Q&A section

When I spoke to the guy at my GS he said hat they have a ''soft date'' of 7/31 but in the ''training'' they received to push these tablets they were told mid july. When they have a hard date it'll be listed as a ''street'' date.

I'll be preordering at Gamestop, 30% extra trade in credit if i trade my Xoom so why not!

If you have anything to trade, go with Gamestop. I traded in my 64gb iPod Touch 4th Generation that I never use anymore. It was in "Like New" condition, so the trade-in value was $203. With the extra 30% I got around $265 for it. With the original cost and tax of the tablet ($266.05), I owed $0.85. So I basically got the tablet for less than a dollar. I had saved up enough money to buy it, but now I'm pocketing the $270 that would have been spent on it which is a pretty damn good feeling.

Preordered mine through currys in the UK
Says in the site : estimated arrival time 21st july

I'm going with gamestop.
I save $13 and have to wait a week longer? Sounds like I got an option for slower shipping.
And I can walk there after class the day of, instead of waiting for the mail or dealing with tracking down a package( which is a pain in the city)
Plus it gives me somewhere to swap if I get a dud

X Dev Edition now $549.. Recently pay $649??

I bought my VZW Dev edition on 10/29 for $649 (700 after shipping an all that). Just got off a chat where I asked if I could get a credit. They offered a $100 coupon to be spent in their online store. It's better than nothing so while I can't tell you how far back they'll go, it's worth a try.

I wasn't too excited about it myself but then again, having the device for a week and actually purchasing it 10/29, I'm just glad I got something. She even made sure to tell me that I can't use the credit towards any accessory that is specifically for the Dev edition. No clue what can be purchased specifically for the Dev edition but the only thing I actually want is the car dock so that's better then nothing.

Yeah that makes sense. If it was less of a difference I'd take the credit (which iirc only lasts 30 days). I'll probably buy the car dock from Amazon or something. Only thing that sucks is that I'll have to pay for the return shipping ($10 for FedEx ground).
Edit: You can ask for a free shipping label but you have to wait 24 hours. With the shipping label, the savings are $107 for me (tax).

I bought the T-Mobile version on 11-5-13 for $600 and it is now $500. I called and asked for a refund on the difference and they offered me a $100 credit for accessories. After refusing they offered me a $100 visa gift card, which is what I took. It takes 4-6 weeks to arrive however.

$579 is not really much of a price break,, especially for Costco where items tend to be significantly cheaper than their competitors. I was hoping to see at least a $50 discount (10%).

Just bought a brand new white Note 10.1 2014 Edition 16GB on eBay for $519 and no tax. The seller has over 10,000 transactions with 99.9% positive feedback. Added a SquareTrade 2yr Accidental Damage warranty for $99 and I'm set. I preferred the black model, but it's going to be in a case. So the color was not a deal breaker by any means.
Now, I need a decent case and a 64GB micro SD card.

I picked one up at costco on the 6th. I wouldn't really call this a bundle. The pouch is pretty mediocre, the price is just okay, but the return policy is awesome and I didn't have to wait for it or go to best buy.
If anyone else bought this puppy at costco, can you explain how the pouch converts to a stand? I can't figure it out. The best I've been able to do is make a bump out of it and I don't think I would ever try to rest the tab on it; it would most likely just slip off of it. I pretty much just use it as a sort of placemat under it when I put it down. It's not even good as a pouch.
The note itself is pretty cool, though and I don't really mind not getting much of a price break. Sammy still hasn't sent me the code for the perks though. That kind of ticks me off. The serial number and the mac address don't match and it's taking them forever to deal with it. If they don't get their act together pretty soon I might just bring it back and wait for them to go on sale. It would be a shame though, this one has no issues that I've noticed yet. No screen bleed, build quality is excellent. Battery life could be better and there is a little lag but I can live with that. Oh well.

Well you have 90 days from when you purchased it at Costco so I'm sure something will happen by then. I too have yet to receive the code. I even had it escalated through live chat 3 days ago and was told that I should be receiving the code through email today. Nothing yet so far so I'm sure I'll be talking to Live Chat once again. Regarding the Pouch as a stand? My mistake it doesn't stand the tablet up at all. It's more of a way to set it down on an angle for typing maybe? But I agree not much of a bundle but we did save some money for a 32GB model. I purchased a Poetic slim case for $9.99 @ Amazon with Prime shipping. It looks great and now well protected. Very happy I bought this tablet.

Unfortunately I also had to speak with live chat agent regarding errors during registration. I was told I should be receiving my perks within two days.... more like 2 weeks. At least now I know it will be coming.

Still nothing at my local Costcos which are only pushing the Note 8 and Tab 3.
Personally, I bought brand new 16gb version on eBay from a reputable seller located in New York on December 13th and had it in my hands in Southern CA on the 23rd (even with the UPS delays). For potential buyers, you may want to consider this option, though only buy from a reputable seller.

I bought mine from Costco in early Dec for $579. It is interesting though, the store I went to had a whole stack of them, but no other Costcos in the Detroit area had any. When you check for them you may want to have them search all the Costcos in the area.

Just at my local Costco today and noticed that they lowered the price from $579 to $529. If you purchased yours within 30 days of this change in press you can get back the difference or just simply return it and get another one since you have 90 days return policy.

Costco refund
I paid 579 for mine. I saw they now had it for 529. I went in and got 50 refund. I think this refund time is for 90 days. Just offer to either return it or get the difference and they will always give you the difference.
We have 3 Costco's here and only one has ever had the Note 2014. The other two never have it. They have it online, but the price is higher.
The pouch is pretty worthless. If it can be a stand, I have on idea how that would work.

Yes as a stand I agree it's worthless, it's more like a way to have an angle when you rest it on a flat surface for typing maybe? I was told from an employee if you purchased before the price change, you have 30 days from the start of the reduced price to refund you the difference. Your safety night of course is the 90 day return policy.
