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.
Reassuring. Thank you

yet another promo offer i can't take advantage of.
Getting jibbed on the dropbox offer too for no reason, and dropbox won't respond back
It's only good for those that bought the phone between today (January 4th, 2015) and January 17th, 2015, I believe there is cap to the number of people as well, so first come first serve. I bought my device on December 31st, so no go for me. Netflix is not really my thing since it would still cost extra to rent the newest movies via Postal Mail (bummer).

I got the 50GB for 2 years from Dropbox. There are freebies Samsung included as well as part of their Exclusive Extras. Login to the Samsung App store.
I'm also glad I didn't get involved with the $200 trade-in rebate as many are expressing frustration in the process.
No such thing as free, I believe

my 50gb from 2 years ago expired today, and i signed in immediately into drop box on the stock rom and still no offer to renew it...
I'll look into the samsung app store for other items... any suggestions regarding drop box?
If you purchased the T-Mobile Note 4, you should be able to get 50GB for Two Years Free As Long As You Create a New Dropbox Account within your device.
If you purchased the AT&T Note 4, you only get 50GB for 6 months which I feel is an awful waste of space, lol.

Thank you so much ☺

Yeah, I tried to get in on this, but since I got my Note 4 on 11/08/14, I was not eligible.
I did get the 50gb of Dropbox (on a new email acct) and I think I get 12mo of Evernote (which I'll never use).
On my Galaxy S3 (my previous phone) I got 50gb of Dropbox (which is still full, I just can't add to it, which is nice to know all my kids pictures are safe there) and they offered a free HD copy of The Avengers movie back then too (on the S3) thru MediaHub I think it was.
Somewhere there was a thread of the available freebies with the Purchase of the Note 4 - not sure if they were all T-mobile exclusives or not, that's where I saw the Evernote offer (again, I don't see myself ever actually using it, but it was free so why not).
GooglePlay and Amazon app store actually offer some cool freebies from time to time, I occasionally get the emails from the Play store for the freebies, the Amazon app store offer's I usually end up seeing on flipboard browsing android news and app news. I'd love it if someone had a thread here or somewhere listing the freebies on a regular basis we could subscribe to. :good: (if that exists and I've missed it, please let me know!)

I don't think so. Because the seller whoever it is you purchased from, did he give you a receipt/proof of original purchase ? If so, check the date on the receipt. It must be purchased after Jan 4th.
I just bought a note 4 but wont get it till next week.
got mine
My buddy gave me his receipt from his note 4 to use since the money he used was from his old S5 I bought off him. Got my 1 year of netflix yesterday which in my case was a $95.88 credit. However, where is the milk?

Who else ordered a VZW phone from best buy? either on contract, monthly, or full price?
I did full price and the site said it will be delivered on 3/11/16, release date. i had two CSR reps confirm this via both live chat, and email.
then, some reddit users are saying their reps saying it may not even ship UNTIL the 11th, meaning we may not get it until 5-7 days AFTER release date! this is absolutely ridiculous, so when I emailed back, they stated that yeah, it could either be there the 11th, or later. wtf? come on best buy. i've never pre-ordered from them before, but every other store gets you pre-orders ON release date.
i was going to do in store pickup instead of shipping, but apparently in store pickups aren't even guaranteed when you do a pre-order! you could get there and the s7 might not even be in stock!
man, i have elite status through best buy rewards too, so you'd think i'd get SOME kind of preferential treatment! hmm.
so share your stories!
I ordered full price. Ordered the first 7 minutes site went live on Feb 23. Curious if anyone else's preorder has changed status now that tmo, Sprint and att have shipped or are shipping.

Same here. Pre ordered on Feb 27th.
My credit card showed an authorization amount for my purchase for several days but Best Buy let it expire without billing. My order status still shows "awaiting authorization" as well. (I ordered on release day)
wtf. mine shows awaiting authorization all of a sudden. what the hell is best buy doing?!!?
so now there's TWO pending charges of the same amount on my account from best buy. one from the day i pre-ordered, and one from today. what's going on? why two charges?
they getting ready to ship?
Same I ordered 2 yr contact and says shipping March 11th but who knows. I hope I have it March 11th but doubt it.

best buy is calling people to pickup in store orders tomorrow..so they better ship it tomorrow!
mine is still as processing as well
so, i just talked to a rep on CS. he told me at first that i should have it by the 11th, then said, hold on, and checked into my status saying that it was requested to ship today, the 6th. he then said to just keep an eye out on the account to see if it ships.
oh and i just checked, the free SD card is updated to preparing for shipment, but the rest are still as pre ordered. he said they all have hte same status on his end though, so he thinks the site is just still updating. cool.

So my wife and I both received email approval for the Gear VR now. No more "pending fulfillment".
Ship dates..... Wife's APRIL 18TH!! MINE MAY 8TH!!
I guess 4 to 6 weeks is out the window, even if you pre-ordered your phones the first couple days like we did. Bummer. But hey... At least they're Comin'!
I guess they are going to say it's 4 to 6 weeks from approval date lol.

Mine says expected ship date April 1st.
Mine also says April 1st, but I picked the Gear S2.
I haven't gotten an email yet, but I checked my submission status, and it says approved, preparing for shipment. I went with the watch. Not keeping it, figured around $300 extra would be nice I used my trade-in money for the VR.
Yeah April 18
Yeah I got my email last night saying mine would ship on April 18th... but then to claim my 6 free games I need to set up my Oculus account my midnight on April 20th. So how is that even possible?? Can I set up the Oculus account early without the VR unit so that I can claim my free stuff?
Just got an email stating I am ineligible for the Gear S2 because my receipt denotes an in-store or online purchase. Anyone else get this?

I did notice at the bottom of the disclaimer about signing up for the game pack it says something. Here is a copy:
"Please make sure to create an Oculus account and download your
6 games before 11:59:59pm PT on 4/20/16 when the download expires,
or within 30 days of receiving your Eligible Product, whichever is later."
So at the end you see it says, at least in my email copy, on "4/20/16 when the download expires, or within 30 days of receiving your eligible product, whichever is later." Which I would take to assume that we're covered if we receive the Gear VR after the 20th, as long as we activate the free games within 30 days of receiving it.

No idea how I missed that. I feel dumb. Yeah mine says the same thing.
Well, this almost sent me over the edge. Trying to call the fulfillment company now to see if this can be straightened out. I ordered it online at full price from a consumer account, not a business one. Weird.
"Congratulations! Your submission has been approved; however because the

If you received the email about being ineligible for the Gear s2, you should still be good. Just got off the phone with customer support (50 minute wait) and they said a mass e-mail erroneously went out stating users were getting the opposite of what they selected. He verified my order was for the Gear S2. I would call just to be safe, but you should be good. He said I was his 35th case for the same issue.

I'll have to call customer support in the morning. Their open hours didn't mesh well with Hawaiian time.
You have to call prize logic at (888) 795-6442. They manage the promotion.
FYI, when I called, they guessed what it was about. The emails about getting a VR instead of S2 were errors. I was told that my S2 was being prepped for shipment April 1st.
I checked the status of mine at the link in Samsung's email and put in my email address. I submitted my first claim for my first new line on the 16th. I'm approved but don't have a ship date. I submitted my second claim for my second line very early this morning and that's approved also, and no ship date. My second claim was for the $100 towards Samsung products on their website they are offering at this point because they aren't going to be able to ship the VRs until the summer of this year for people registering late. I think it's crappy of them to offer $100 instead of $150 which was the value of the bundle, but I could use a wireless charger and/or a quick charge battery pack.

Yes; I got a similar email stating I was ineligible for the Gear S2 because my recipt was for a Store purchased S7.
I immediately responded back vi the web page & told them that was incorrect & that the receipt was printed from Verizon on-line for an on-line purchase.
Another response was received stating that they had escalated my complaint. I am now waiting for more response from them.
I'm thinking that this has happened to a lot of people & hope they take care of it quickly.

When I preordered by Samsung S8, I was told by ATT salesperson that I could get the VR for free and for $99, I could get 256G SD and Headphones. He also said that I had to wait for my phone to come in the mail before I could submit the request. So I received my phone on the 21st and tried to purchase the headphones and SD cards on the 21st. Here is what I got from Samsung Customer Support:
"The premium "Fully Immersive" bundle that included the AKG headphones and MicroSD card for an extra $99, has SOLD OUT and is no longer available for selection in the promo site. Due to high interest, we have sold out of the $99 fully immersive VR experience. "
How could they be sold out within hours of the first day?!?! Is this a classic bait switch? This was one of the primary reasons I pre-order the S8. This seems very wrong to me.
You were misinformed. The $99 'Fully Immersive' bundle was available for those that did the pre-order between 3/30 - 4/20. Heck the 'free' items (VR + controller) was also only supposed to be available to those that pre-ordered it. Not those that purchased it on day it came out. Very sorry.
BTW, there are at least 5 other threads covering this very same thing. I mistakenly started one of my own.
Edit: Disregard my ramblings - you DID preorder. I received my phone on the 19th, and that same day I did the order of the $99 bundle. I didn't get to pay anything until the 21st however. Just haven't received it or tracking info yet. I read on another thread that someone spoke with Samsung and that while we're going to be getting the items, they've run out and no ETA on when they'll be shipping out to us that were able to pay. Either way, sucks.
