UPS 2nd Day Air has an option for saturday deliveries, it may or may not be extra, I know Amazon Prime does it and they use UPS 2 day.
Anyone know if UPS included saturday delivery with all 2 day orders now? Their website makes it seem like its an add-on charge but they dont explicitly say it is.
If it isnt included in all 2 day shipping then does anyone know if Play uses saturday delivery?
Someone please say yes...
usually during holiday season all 2nd day shipping has the saturday option, so possibly. however, i doubt it.

The answer is no.
UPS charges $15 for Saturday delivery which is more than twice the cost Google charged to deliver the package.
Google really screwed us on this one >=(

From past experience.
And I called Google and UPS for a Saturday delivery and both rejected. I had to leave town on Monday so I was hoping they would deliver on Saturday.but they wouldn't. I'm sure others had same experience as well.

Well they charged $14, which is a completely ridiculous price in the first place. Amazon gives you saturday delivery for a fraction of that (or included with Prime).
I cant believe they are going to ship on thursday and not include saturday delivery. This is absolute incompetence. 6 day shipping for $14... un f***ing believable.
They should be busting their asses to get these things shipping tonight if they are going to charge that much and not do saturday delivery. Whose dumbass idea was it to ship on the day that would take longest possible shipping time?

What did google do?
This is getting annoying. "Google screwed us when we were ordering" "Google screwed us when shipping" "Google screwed us with packaging" "google screwed us with 30 units available"
Google didn't screw anyone. The only thing that close was the ordering system. They should have had a pre order.
Shipping. Do you think its easy to ship out probably 10 000 units in 2 days? Shipping is UPS side. Google has nothing to do with shipping. If you want it so bad. Get it from TMO or any place that sells it retail. That way you have it in your hands the second you pay for it.
This is why we can't have nice things. People complains and points fingers when nothing is wrong. Just because they are excited.
You waited for least 2 weeks now. Another week isn't going to ruin your life.

Well there you go, a simple pre order would of been enough to help us out and Google didn't do that so yes they screwed us on this one. At least they should have the common decency to give us Saturday shipping or have it listed as an option. But i understand that maybe UPS fault? But still not even preorders were offered .
10,000 units in 2days is trouble some to ship, but from what i have heard, no ones N4 has been shipped yet not even one. (at least in the U.S)
So I stand by my last post :]

$14 for shipping is cheap. Move to canada.
Anything you buy from the states is almost least $20 for 2 weeks delivery time. That's for something that weights a pound. I paid $100 to ship a turbo over from the states to canada. That took 2 weeks. It cost a dealer about $1500 to ship a car. And i'm paying $100 to ship a turbo that weights maybe 15lbs. Both takes about the same time to deliver. That's ridiculous.
Just because companies spoils you with free shipping doesn't mean its ridiculous for another to charge. N4 is stupid cheap as it is. Just be wait.
Unless you are willing to ship something for free and with saturday delivery, don't complain.
It depends to be honest. If you need it sat, my suggestion is to track it. If the phone is in a local distribution center, call them and arrange a pick up

yeah I agree they should have had an option for saturday but think about it from google's POV.
They have a ton of unit to ship and mistakes will happen if they don't keep things simple.
Google isn't a hardware complain, They are a search engine, advertising and software company. So they could only have 100 warehouse workers trying to get everything out vs apple with 1000 (made up number) so its easier for them and have lessen the chance of a mistake. Or shipping the saturday ones with regular shipping times.
Who compares shipping to Amazon? Seriously. Amazon sends a million shipments a day. They have their own carrier distribution facilities. Amazon is in a league of their own with shipping so don't expect other companies to live up to their level.

So because you pay international shipping rates it makes sense to charge international rates for domestic shipping as well? If anything that makes the shipping price even more absurd.
Stop acting like Google is some mom and pop company, they are one of the richest companies in the world and have been shipping phones out of Play for the past year with multiple warehouses, they do not pay full price for shipping like we do because they ship thousands of products a month and get bulk discounts like every other retailer. Ive gotten far better and cheaper service from Ebay stores than I have from Play, and they have to pay full price for shipping.
The poor service would be much easier to swallow if they didnt charge far more in shipping than any other retailer on the internet.

Has anyone on this forum had a nexus one sent to the UK? I am very interested in buying one. How much did it cost with and without the optional UK charger. I am getting it sent tot he north east. Also how long did it take? Also if anyone on this forum came from an iPhone 3GS how did the battery life compare?

Ordered ~ 3pm on Wednesday, it arrived at ~ 9am Friday morning. Ordered early-mid Feb ~ 10th iirc.
374 was charged to credit card (didn't get the UK charger) but yet to have a form through for import from DHL.
Wouldn't bother with the extra charger tbh, they can be picked up cheap enough in the UK.
As above. Mine cost me £373 (phone inc delivery) and my bank charged me £10 for the conversion - total: £383. I ordered it around teatime last Wednesday and it was delivered this Monday. Not got the vat bill in yet.
Didn't get the charger as it was $19.99 + uk vat. I got one for the HD2, from amazon, at £4.95 with free delivery.
Mine (without rip off charger) cost £412 including taxes.
Ordered on a Tuesday eve, received on the Friday.

Yep ordered on a Sunday night, delivered to my work address (about 1.5 hours north of London) Weds lunchtime, cost £384.81 with charger, no tax bill yet.
Battery life compares well with iPhone 3G, Magic, G1, better than Palm Pre with 1400 extended battery. I am planning on getting the dock when it comes to UK stockists for when I'm deskbound at work (I listen to music most of the day), but I've always done so regardless of phone.
Works well on O2 too.
Mine also came at around £410 including VAT. DHL will charge you separately for the VAT, but the bill won't arrive until about a month later. You might get lucky and DHL might not send you the bill, but I'd set aside the money as it seems the very first UK buyers at release were mainly the ones that got away with the VAT.
Even with the VAT inclusive, totalling £410 it's still alot cheaper than buying from expansys.com which is going for £599 as of today with 7 in stock according to the website.
Edit: You could wait another month and get it on contract with Vodafone if you don't want to pay for it unsubsidied. Or preorder the Desire instead on expansys for £439
ordered mine on a Sunday evening, the phone arrived the following Friday morning as it was slightly delayed at customs.
At the time I paid $577 which worked out to be £386 for the phone including UK charger and delivery charge.
I finally recieved the VAT bill this morning quoted at £60.17.
So all in all toatal costs = £446.17
Lol, YMMV...
I ordered two from the US, first never shipped, PayPal refund (direct from seller) after 11 days. Ordered second (different seller) and an empty box arrived three weeks later (express shipping). I believe it was stolen at customs. Under insurance claim.
Third time I just ordered it from a UK seller, +£50 but I got it in three days, no VAT letters to worry about and no customs delays to concern me.
I wish you all better luck than me. Every attempt I made was with an eBay "Power Seller" with good (recent) feedback for the same product.
So you paid £50 more, and it took 3 days to arrive? Might just as well have bought it from Google
There are no customs delays, DHL take it straight through and invoice you for it a few weeks later. At least that way you get a warranty.
@Rusty!:
I'm not sure I understand your point. Google weren't selling it directly outside of the US when I got mine. Or did you mean something else?
There's no way I would have received it from the US in three days anyway, customs or otherwise.
I have a guarantee, direct with HTC for 12 months.
Could you clarify what you meant?

Since this is a 'shipping to the UK' thread, I have assumed you are in the UK. To address your points/clarify what I meant:
Point 1: Google have shipped to the UK since day of release, so dunno what you're on about.
Point 2: I ordered mine late Tuesday, and received it Friday. I think it's fair to count that as 3 days.
Point 3: No you don't I'm afraid. Read the warranty statement, it's first point is that the warranty is non-transferable. HTC already know which Google account ordered the phone, and it wasn't yours.
So what I am saying is you would have been better off in pretty much every way ordering from Google. Still, doesn't matter now can't undo it... both worth mentioning to make sure others get the best deal.
Thanks for the clarification guys, although I wasn't seeking the criticism you so quickly offered!
I'm (ultimately) happy with the course of action I took and the price I paid.
I don't wish to start a debate but you're wrong on the warranty; under law warranty transferability doesn't apply to the retailer/end user relationship, only to end user/end user relationships. As such, the first end user of the device has a 12 month HTC warranty, they can not transfer this warranty.
The retailer doesn't even need to be sanctioned or official as long as they selling original, unmodified goods.

I think I agree (but don't know consumer law well enough..and am no lawyer)
Certainly in Scotland (where I am domiciled) any consumer matter (which a Nexus problem would be) can be handled by the local Sheriff Court if the consumer so desires.
Just because there are clauses in Google's contract doesn't make them right.
Ultimately it will be for a court/judge to decide what the situation.,,
However I'm sure Google & HTC will behave if a professional, competent & legal manner at all times and things would never need to get that far: Aye, right!! (2 positives making a negative..)
Cheers!

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.

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.

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.

If you bought this phone from Handtec, did it come with UK firmware? Did you pay any customs tax to Fed Ex? How long in average it took from the day of order to the final delivery to US. ( especially west coast) Is your phone Made in Korea?
Thank you for answers
I had bought my Touch HD from them back in 2008 through google checkout. They shipped the same day and arrived in 5 days (or less) to Washington DC. Fedex dropped it to my door. No customs problems, but some legal papers concerning US vs EU thingies with it, which I threw to trash... but again I have read some incidents with customs... maybe it was my luck. Good luck with you. Decent company

I ordered mine yesterday, it shipped today, and it's scheduled to be delivered to my door tomorrow before 10:30am. I received a call from FedEx today; they said something about the customs paperwork listing electronics and asked what it was. I said a cell phone and the woman said something about the FCC, then "Let me speak with my supervisor and see if this paperwork will suffice." She came back and said her supervisor gave the ok and thanks.
I'll report tomorrow if anything unpleasant happens with my order, such as it not arriving promptly and satisfying my cravings!
Argh! I just checked the FedEx tracking for my Note and it says customs delay! It says "Description provided is insufficient to classify commodity." I hope the earlier call where they asked me what it was is all that's needed and this clearance delay will not change tomorrow's delivery. But the red color of the status bar at the top of the FedEx tracking page is rather ominous...

Ordered mine Friday Nov 3rd. Got it Nov 9th at 10am fedex (weekend in there, so it didn't ship until 7th). No customs problems or delays. No extra taxes or charges. I am in California.
This customs issue is very frustrating. They called and said the FCC form is incomplete. They sent me one to fill out since Handtec is gone for the day and I'm clueless on some of the items on it. I started a new thread with the contents of the form posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19234692#post19234692
same thing
My phone was supposed to be here this morning but held up by customs because of improper address in the manufacturer box. My son already received his without this. I guess it depends on the customs agent. I called handtech and told him they needed to fill in the complete Samsung UK address in that box. Said they would but still seem to think that customs stops some phones just for general principles. Just received e-mail from FedEx saying the package will be here tomorrow between 10:30 and 12

449 pounds for buyers outside UK
US to euro
$449 it's actually around $611 The phone is unlocked with no AT&T crap on it. Also has a hardware button which is great as far as I'm concerned. When you figure AT&T will be charging $300 for it, it becomes a bargain. Very nice to have a phone that if you're in Europe you can just throw in a Sim card and use it to your hearts extent without those exorbitant AT&T charges. I can also have it right away and not have to wait six months.

I paid for 449.99 + 14.99 EU's for overnight shipping FedEx, turned out to be two overnights because of our ultra efficient customs department. Let me get out my trusty converter, that's $632. Subtract $300 I would've paid AT&T for contract and about $200 for my old iPhone 3GS equals $135 for the Samsung Note and can get dump AT&T any time I want = priceless
wtf google? it clearly says on my receipt orders will not be charged until shipped and i know i haven't shipped as i only got my order in about half an hour ago. what is up with that?
Tbh I feel more sorry for the people that didn't get an order placed even though they were trying for ages. There again... I may just be bitter as that includes me.

be happy you actually got it ordered lol
I should be happy I got it ordered but I am not happy when a large corporation, or heck even a small corporation, charges me early and collects the interest at my expense. It is bad business. But I haven't counted my chickens until my status updates to shipped.

Wow 1 day interest, such a rip off.
up to 2 days or more depending on if google does indeed ship these appropiately interest ripoff. and you should read into how much these corporations make off interest for taking your money too soon. and why are so many businesses like landlords ready to take your online automated payment, and how many stories you hear about them taking it early, sometimes causing problems for the robbery victim because of overdraft. they really should make it a crime to not take your payment until shipped. even if they don't honor the order for whatever reason, sometimes they make more than a few cents holding your hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars a few days. then multipy that by customer base. it's a nice bonus check for the ceo at the end of the year.
I used a debt card and they put a hold on the money but have not withdrawn it yet. I assume they will withdraw upon shipping.

Actually your bank is holding the money for Google until it ships, they do this to make sure you have enough for the purchased item.
Doesn't show availability on the main page yet as far as I can see, but for those who are already T-Mobile customers, let the ordering begin. Just sign into your account and smack the upgrade button. My expected delivery date?? November 26th.
Got my order in. Estimated delivery date.... 11/19. Upgraded to next day air

If you choose next day shipping it says it will arrive on the 19th
Yup I was super excited I didn't have to wait til 3am EST. I upgraded to next day shipping as well. :good:
Wonder why it's not showing available for me yet. At least not on the JUMP page. It's not a device option.
LOL! I hate you all for paying more attention than me!! I'm trying to call them and change the shipping but I'm on freakin hold!
have you been doing a jump upgrade or a normal it lists it for a normal upgrade for me but not a jump upgrade.
Edit:I just called and the rep said the same thing. she can see it on the computer as a normal upgrade but not a jump upgrade. how much extra was overnight shipping? Looks like I am waiting abit longer for the jump screen to get updated.

Well I am a T-Mobile Employee so I may of got a different department.
I was able to order a 64GB. I wish they had it in white. I wonder if it'll really be delivered tomorrow considering the order was placed 940pm PST this evening.
I messed up and didn't see the option to ship overnight. If anyone gets them to cha GE their shipping let me know how. I called and they told me it couldn't be done

Hopefully there'll still be some left for us new customers when it goes live publicly... and they'll ship in a reasonable amount of time.
Hoping the store I called that said they have them actually has then in the morning if not hoping I can next day it and get it Thursday

I couldn't get them to change the shipping on mine. Apparently it's another company that handles the delivery so they have no control. I opted to purchase a second one with overnight shipping and I'll just send the other one back when it comes or craigslist it or something.

I'm getting mine tomorrow since I purchased it from GPS. I chose this route so I can pay in full with my CC which provides an extra year in Warranty and 60days loss/damage coverage ($500 only). Oh and 5% cashback. Not to mention has 90 day Price protection. If the price goes down from either GPS or Moto or even TMO, I can Price Match, I doubt price will go down on this device tho.
Anyone buying from TMO and pay in installments, you can buy insurance for it. CC's wont cover its warranty or loss/damage protection if not paid in FULL.
Hmmm. in my available Upgrade devices, I still see Nexus 4 there, but no N5.
