As the thread title indicates, I want to find out who (else) is waiting on a pre-ordered WiFi-only model from B&H.
I ordered one on Monday this week after they had stock (ie. No preorder), and it shipped that day and I have it in my hands as of now (Australia).

Holy balls I wish I'd done that rather than pre-order from Dixons UK. Prob won't get mine for another 10-14 days...!
B&H possibly not having supply was what concerned me. When they list their pre-order option I immediately signed up. But the next day when the release from Motorola came out, they didn't list B&H selling the Xoom. That scared me. When I saw Amazon on there.. with free shipping and 'cancel anytime' and we won't charge you until it ships.. I decided to cancel my B&H order and go with Amazon. I'm sorry you still don't have it. My thoughts would be to cancel your order and go through Amazon or somewhere else. B&H cancelled my order the next day after requesting (I cancelled it that night).. so really next business day. They are good about that. I believe other places have it in stock. These are too much fun to be waiting for someone to get in their own stock!
Pre-ordered on 15 march and I received yesterday.
With a little delayed because the accessories are not in stock so I spoke with an agent on the Live Chat and he send my Xoom tuesday. The accessories will be sent later by USPS.
Ordered on sunday (27.03) and i`m typing this message on my new xoom

Thank you, everyone for your responses!
Galactic, I am guessing that what happened to yours is happening to mine. I pre-ordered the silicone gel case and desktop dock along with the XOOM. Were your accessories either of those, by any chance?
I pre-ordered the Portfolio case and car charger but both are in backordered..
Just tell to B&H on the Live Chat than you want the Xoom NOW
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.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00519RWI8/ref=ox_ya_os_product
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 just saw a thread title about how Groupon sent someone 2 tablets. I guess it all evened out, because I got screwed.
I ordered a white 16GB during the deal, it got shipped out, was out for delivery, and then nothing. No updates, no tablet.
Finally it got updated 2 days later saying it was "undeliverable" (I don't know why; I get dozens of things shipped to that address) and got sent back to the shipper. I got a nice email today saying that since the deal is over, they can't re-ship it to me and are issuing me a refund.
Stupid Groupon. Seriously? You can't ship me out the exact same physical tablet that just got returned to you?
Screw you, Groupon. Screw you.
That blows man

Damn... I hope the tablet you were supposed to get didn't go to the other person. That's really messed up. At least they gave you your money back. So in the end you evened out.
I don't think it went to the other person; it just got returned to sender yesterday.
Yep, it's a bummer. Oh well. I am glad that it got credited back to my card and not Groupon bucks. I would have been MAJORLY pissed then.
Could you imagine of it were Groupon credit
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah I had a second black one. Not white.
Just in case you're still looking to get one, I just ordered one from Groupon on Friday. As of right now, they're still running the deal I got. $395 for a 16gb, $425 for a 32gb.
That sucks dude... Shame you're not from the UK as i'm selling my 10.1 2014 for a really good price. Upgrading to the 12.2.
That is pretty lame... How much was it? I paid 430.00 on amazon for a white 32GB. Was under used section but was never actually used. It said in the description the only thing wrong was the actual box it comes in may be damaged. Got it Friday and the damage was a sticker being opened lol

Try Walmart for Refurb
I just got one from Walmart.com for $430. It is the 32GB version, available in both colors. It shipped out from NJ, so I am thinking they have refurbs from the same place the Groupon ones came from. You do have to pay tax at Walmart.com. but still a good deal in my opinion.

Except by purchasing from Walmart you are supporting an evil an unethical corporation. Personally I would pay more (and have) than purchase something from Walmart.
90 day return period at Walmart! Worth it for a few bucks over Groupon since I'd have to pay tax at both places

Good point. I just looked at the page I purchased mine from, and it's not 90 days to return it to Groupon, it's a 90 day warranty from Samsung. My bad.
While there is a 2-unit limit, the Amazon Fire is now $35 bucks. Get it while you still can!
I did not know there was a 2 unit limit. I presume the limit holds true even if they are shipped to different addresses? My friend ordered me one since they have prime.

Do you guys know if it's being enforced? I ordered 2 in one order and one in the next one. Hope they don't cancel it.

I was looking if they had the buy 5+1 free offer, but saw it was gone.
But I did order the one I was waiting for.
I just ordered two more. From the mobile app I didn't see the 2-unit limit.
Most of the alternative cases which were about $9.99 have gone up to around $14.99.
just sign up for a free prime 30 day trial and you can order another 2 per account.
damn, we only had the 49 Euro's ( 51 USD ) deal in germany yesterday. Orderd mine yesterday and got it yesterday, love the new same day delivery for free.
£35 in the uk today. Ordered!
I was able to make three purchases of two each to get 6 total. When I was submitting the third and final order, it said I had just made a similar order and did I want to continue. I told it yes and it went thru. 'Course, now I won't get em until 21st or 22nd of December, but that's OK.

If anyone is looking to get the Fire in the US, ordering it from Best Buy online for in store pickup is the best way to go. I ordered it this morning and it is already in store whereas amazon has it backordered until December 17th+. You could probably cancel your orders and buy it this way instead.

Yes. Same price. Much more convenient IMO.
UPS says mine arrives on Monday. I don't think I've ever been so excited to get a $35 gadget, haha.
Picked one up in store yesterday at Best Buy. Open box special.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but the price was too good to pass up.
One of mine arrived yesterday, the other should come around the 30th.
Anyway, this is a pretty good device so far. I made sure to replace the Fire OS with CM12.1 and now it really flies compared to the original Kindle Fire. At first I was concerned with the resolution, but now I'm fine with it not being 720P. I mean for $35 I can't really have it all.
Also I would suggest using the Supertool posted in the index.

Did you know it was at Best Buy already or was I of assistance to you with my post in the thread?
I actually was researching this tablet because of price and read your thread to get some impressions.
The open box special was just a good finding.

Cyber Monday deal from Google Store.
Going to have to give them.a call and see if they will give me the credit since I only received a week ago.
*Update*
I called Google and they won't just give me the credit. I have to return this Pixel and reorder. I guess it's no big deal for $100. Just seems silly on their part to now have a used phone.
Anyone else try and not have to return phone?
i'm waiting to get on chat with them. i just bought the phone yesterday so i'd hope they'd be willing to include me in the promo
I bought it Sunday, called Monday. I was told no. They can't refund or even adjust purchased phones after an hour from time of purchase. I now have a second pixel 2 coming and I'll be sending the first one back.
At least I know next time. Next Pixel release I'm not going to buy it until several months later. I could still return mine, however; I'm not going to b/c I'll be stuck with a lot of credit until next year.
I traded in my Pixel 1, so if I return the product the refund will probably not happen for a week in which they will refund the cash portion and re-apply my store credit from my trade in. If I were to re-buy it, I'd be out the immediate cost right now as the refund won't process for awhile so no prior store credit will be able to be used.
Next time I know. The trade in process was a disaster and you'd get more selling it independently. If I bought cash only then I'd do it, but the store credit complicates things.
Plus my Pixel 2 doesn't actually have problems so I feel like I won the lottery as it is LOL

i chatted and they gave it to me no problem. bought it on the 16th november. just got off chat about 10 min ago giving me 100$ credit after 30 days of use. (project fi).. and sending me an email for the google home mini. logistically thats just dumb. lets send a new phone out. pay for shipping pay for return shipping and still giving out the credit. makes no sense.
mine shipped on Cyber Monday, made.me mad as fk*. Bet they won't give me the credit. Seems like bad business, never saw it even advertised

They pulled this stunt last year, said there were going to be no BF/CM deals and then had something. I decided to hold off on my purchase for just that reason to see what they would throw out for cyber monday.

At least your getting overnight (granted you paid extra).
They should be doing it for free since they are now 4 days after my original delivery date.
Ordered it on cyber Monday night and checked status today that it was delayed. They didn't provide a new delivery date, just that they it was delayed and I would receive an email when it's shipped.
Does anyone know if it's because they are trying to process all the orders they received on cyber Monday or is it an issue with limited stock?
I would prefer the former explanation rather then limited stock, since it could be quite some time before it actually ships if that's the case.
I don't know for certain, but strongly suspect it is because of cyber Monday orders.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Did they really get hit with more orders than they could handle? I just have such a hard time imaging that this phone is selling so hot they can't keep up with stock.
I don't think it is a stock issue, rather a fulfillment issue. And yes, I think they got enough orders Monday that it slowed down getting them all out the door.
