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.

Definitely think I will be canceling my best buy order. Happy to not have to give them my business now.
Does anyone know local / national retailers who will be selling at midnight?

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!
Folks, I am dreaming it at night!!!

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.

You think the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is going to be less popular than the ASUS Transformer?
i was able to order mines RIGHT BEFORE it went unavailable again on monday (around 6ish 7 pacific time) and its supposed to be here on the 19th. Just wondering who else was able to do it and if anyone has been able to recently do it since i want to order another one.

I didn't pre-order. I just walked into the store and got one.
Seems their "online" preorder and the store preorder comes from 2 different warehouses.
I ordered on 11th and it was shipped on 16th and got it on 17th morning.
How long will you reckon it will take for the Nexus 4 to get delivered to your doorstep when buying it on the 13th Nov 2012 in the UK, London??
And also in the uk 16GB version is £279 is that the price just for the phone and the shipping being charged separately on top ? or does that include shipping/home delivery? if you have to pay extra fee for shipping how much in top of £279?

I'm assuming 2 day delivery since that was what the Nexus7 was intended. Albeit it didn't go according as planned.

Shipping cost is not included in the listed price on Google Play. Dunno how much it'd be, because it's not out yet
Mine is coming from Mars at the speed of light and should have it the next day!
I would say 2 days no matter where you are in the U.S.

I think 2days is very reasonable with shipping price

And, I think it is fair to say that if you base the shipping cost of 2 days from the Nexus 7, it will be Shipping (Two Day) $13.99 USD.
The thing with the Nexus 7 shipping thing I don't get is this.. When you add it to the cart, it says it will be "Delivered in 3-5 business days." But, when you checkout with the Nexus 7, it says "Shipping (Two Day) $13.99 USD"

2 days to process, 2 days to ship. 3-5 business days to get it to your door. What's not to get?
I'm guessing 2 days. My plan is to initiate a Google Voice number port the day they ship it (since that also has a 2 day estimate), and hopefully have all accounts set to go when the phone arrives.
SIM is already on the way too. :laugh:

I am interested to know at what point on the 13th we in the UK can buy it, will it be at midnight or 6ish hours later when it becomes the 13th in the USA.
I know this sadly sounds like queing outside a store....
Probably same as my Nexus 7 pre order...1 month to ship+7 business days shipping.
It is July 30th. Where is my Nexus 7 2?
Order from Google Play on the 25th and haven't heard a peep from Google,
nor anyone on the internet saying they have gotten a shipping confirmation.
Meanwhile I bought a wireless charger from Samsung for my N4/ N7 one hour ago and it shipped already.
Hope this is not another debacle.

You have no patience.
Ordered mine on the 26th or 27th from amazon and its arriving today. I always buy my stuff from there

I ordered Amazon Friday around noon and paid $20 for Saturday delivery. Been playing with it all weekend.
Just cancel your order and buy one locally. Sucks though.
Wasn't there a big ordeal last year with them being late and taking forever to issue refunds.
It why I never order from there. I was pretty happy with Amazon... But I always am.

I could buy one right now, as I'm standing just 3 blocks from a Staples that still has 2 in stock.
Also Tigerdirect is selling it with no tax on Amazon.
But I rather deal with Google. A lot easier to get a new one in case something goes wrong.

Not really. They'll just send you to ASUS for any issues other than replacement.. If you get a bad one returns are pretty easy most places.
Those who preordered or ordered the US Version of the S8 or S8+, how long did it take before you got it? I ordered mine (Model # SM-G955UZKAXAA) on May 31st directly through Samsung and I haven't even gotten a tracking number yet however I can simply walk into any Best Buy in my area and pick one up. I'm thinking of cancelling the order and just doing that.

They are shipping 2nd day air but it has been a week now and still no sign of it being shipped. I called them last night and the rep said they weren't on backorder so I don't know what's taking them so long. She said I should be getting a tracking number today but still haven't gotten anything. I'm ready to cancel my order and get something else.

Yeah if mine doesn't ship by Friday I might just cancel mine, they should should be able to contact the warehouse see whats going on, unless yours just got lost at the warehouse, but Samsung wants to sell phones then they need to get there act together and ship orders promptly.

I know. We spend 800 something on a phone and the service is awful.
Ordered the S8+ 64GB (Unlocked), Model Number: SM-G955UZKAXAA, ( SM-955U1 ), through my Samsung account.
Ordered June 5th (evening after 5pm)
Confirmed June 6th
Shipped June 7th (picked up by FedEx @ 5:39pm in Indianapolis using 2nd Day shipping)
Tracking number states it will arrive June 9th between 9:45am-1:30pm. (North Florida)
Indirect signature is required. You, your neighbor, apt. office manger, etc. or sign door tag for delivery on the next attempt if they miss you. I have a FedEx Delivery Manager account but can't electronically sign it for this particular shipment like I can with my UPS account. I am leaving a signed signature waiver release form for both the phone and the separately shipped nano SIM card. If I'm not there and they don't accept my signature release form, it will probably be Monday before I get it.
Wouldn't you know it. I finally got my tracking number six business days later. I should have the phone in two days.
yeah I just woke up to email stating my has shipped and should be here Friday with indirect signature, so I will have to type up and sign a release and hope they take it.
FedEx accepted the my signature waivers and the S8+ was delivered as scheduled at 10:30am on June 9th. It was about 3.5 days from the time I submitted the order until it arrived at my front door.
Bought mine from Bestbuy..Same day pick up
I had preordered on Amazon, but got sick of waiting. Especially since Best Buy is selling for $725 right now

Yeah I walked into best buy and bought one. Then went back 3 days later for the $100 credit from the price drop.
I'm sitting on the back ordered list. I have the $100 off plus the $200 trade in for any smartphone. I don't want to walk away from such a great discount.
