Hey guys, So I went to bestbuy to look around to see whether or not the Nexus 7 32GB is available in stock anywhere since it was listed on their website, unfortunately it wasn't available there but I did own a 16GB Nexus 2013. I got it for 249.99 + TAX it was around $285.
Today I saw on the Google-Play store that they have both models in stock and its for the same price as it is in the USA and its with free shipping! (Even if its for a limited time only, still a great deal!). So I returned my previous owned Nexus 7 from bestbuy and went to future shop and got myself a price match and got it for the same price of 229.98 and it totaled up to $261. I saved up to $24 which I can use to buy a case, screen pro, etc.
So people who are looking to buy one right away, you can just go price match it until the free shipping is available and get yourself a Nexus 7 (2013) for its actual regular price!
Good-Luck shopping!

Hello, i tried it today for my 32 gb version which i got from memory express and they bluntly told me they dont price match google because its not an Canadian company. And they shooed me off. I was really dissapointed and sad and couldn't offer any proof which would help me prove that google is shipping from canada itself. Do you have any idea what i should do next ? i could really use some 10 or 15 dollars to buy a new case too.
Thank tiy

I got mine price matched at BB today, no hassles & no questions asked.
For ME, if you do add a device to cart, and click on their Devices Term of Sales, the first line says the principal place of business is in Toronto. Hopefully that will convince ME that it's being shipped from a "canadian company"
These Google Play Terms of Sale for Devices and any other terms referred to in these terms, such as terms provided in the Return Policy and Warranty Center ("Terms"), apply between you and Google Canada Corp., a Canadian corporation whose principal place of business is at 10 Dundas Street East, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2G9 (referred to as "Google" or "we"), when you purchase devices and/or accessories from the Google Play store ("Device").

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I'll try to go back as quick as possible and hopefully they'll give me price match. I am a college student who has to change two buses and waste 2 hours to commute back and forth from that warehouse. I hope they wont give me any more hard time regarding this.

If they give you more hard time, can you refund it and buy it elsewhere like BB/FS/Staples?

Yes i probably can return the product to them if they give me more hard time. But i did get a good piece. o dead pixels and even gps seems alright and so is the mutitouch. Did notice some backlight bleeding but when i compared it too other nexus 7 tablets they had same problems too. So yes, if they dont price match within these 2 or 3 days i might just return it and end up ordering from google itself

Sorry for the late reply, the future shop dude asked me the same question and I told him that if it says that the price is in CA 229.98 it means its obviously coming from Canada. If they still give you a hard time, tell them to add a Nexus 7 to cart on the website and you will see before checking out that the payment is being sent to Google Canada
If anything you can return your old one and get the new one from some other shop that won't give you a hard time.
I hope you get the money bro!

I just bought mine last night at Future Shop in F'ton and had no issue. The sales guy logged into google play and checked their site exactly like you just stated and I got my 7 for a sweet deal
My momma always told me...never pay full price for anything! Great advice!!
Just price-matched mine at Staples. Bought it last week. No fuss.

thank you so much for the advice everyone ! based on the information you guys provided I wrote an email to the manager of memory express expressing how disappointed I was from this incident and also gave him links to the terms of conditions of Google play . and today morning he replied the mail saying he is sorry for the bad experience I had and that he will refund my money and all I need to is come to the store. so I did go to store today and again the customer service rep tried to be a smartass and started talking about import fees when the manager intervened and asked him to quietly price match and refund me the money since he checked everything out. so I got the price beat and the total came out to be 305 instead of the previous 319 . that's enough for a case and screen protectors from eBay .I'm so happy I came across this thread . thank you so much !!

Best Buy. Long story but they really wanted me to buy a tablet there. Employees came from all around with discounts for me at check out. There was an actual line of employees with printed skews in their hands, each one adding a new discount. I was still in disbelief when I got home. Like I said, Just for fun I might stop by and have a go. I'm sure they need some kind of entertainment around there.
Oh yeah, the funny part was when the all got through with their discounts another guy walked up typed something in, while another dropped his jaw and said, "Did you just give him a $100 off without a managers aproval, how did you do that?" He just smiled and walked away. Everyone gets luck once in a while.
Will bb reimburse 100 to price match if you already purchased and are within 14 day return period?
Can you scan your receipt from best buy ,so some of who not lucky can used as proof of purchase..thanks![...QUOTE=T120ted;15826374]Best Buy.

Thank you so much for this post, I just got back from Staples with a 16gb Tab. The tech guy in the store said they got 3 of them in yesterday and 1 person bought one late last night and the 2nd one was purchased 5 minutes before me and I got the last one. While he and I were talking 2 more people walked up asking for them and were told they were sold out. He said each store only got 2 or 3 of them.
They did have the Xoom, Playbook and Iconia in stock. The Iconia was quite tempting for $299!!! I also wouldn't have minded getting a Xoom for $399 to goof off with. This new Tab is for my son as I already have one myself. I wish they had the 32gb versions in the store but they said that model is only available online. Staples is also running a special for 15% off any tablet accessories when purchasing a tablet but they no Tab accessories in stock yet. The guy said they haven't received their end cap for the Tab which usually comes with the accessories shipment. He said he would honor the 15% offer once they receive their accessories so I'm going to check back periodically. Checking stock on their website shows other stores in the area have Tabs as well but the guy said it can take up to 24 hours for the online stock checker to update so with the rush of buyers looking for them with the coupon deal I suspect they'll all be gone very quickly. FYI, they are selling the metallic gray version (not the white). The website doesn't give any indication of color...

So how much did you exactly pay for the 16gb SGT??
Depending on your tax, I got mine for $430 after tax and coupon.
Too bad they don't stock the 32GB in any of their stores...
I wonder if they will honor this coupon over the phone to order a 32GB?? Guess I'll be trying here shortly
they do honor in store...

Tried a few Staples in DC metro area. Some don't have any. One store that do have in stock can't make the coupon work. Finally found one store that the manager knows about the coupon and offered to order one for me from Kiosk and pay at the register to use the coupon w/o any problem. I'll pick the tab up this Firday. $420 with tax.
Well, I was on a fence because of luck of Netflix. But now Netflix is sorted out and I've got 16Gb for 400 bucks plus tax from staples.
Got mine from staples 424.99 16gb when to four stores and the last store had 3 left also most stores don't have them on display
I picked up my Galaxy 10.1 at Staples today. I noticed that they didn't have any on display, but there were Xooms, Acers, Blackberries, etc. When I asked them why, they said that yesterday somebody tried to walk off with the display model, so they took it off display. Seems to me that he could have tried to walk off with any of them, so why remove just one?
Anyway, another guy said they had gotten their shipment in on Sunday (3 days ago), and I was the first to buy one. He said the store is getting many returns on tablets, because people buy them thinking they are laptops -- minus the keyboards. I assured him that I was familiar with the android system, owning a rooted Nook.
I am happy with the Samsung so far, but Honeycomb is a little bigger learning curve over Android 2.3. But my buddy at work has a Xoom, so I'll be picking his brain over the next couple of weeks.

What do you mean, "Netflix is sorted out?" Can Netflix be played on my Samsung? (Forgive me, I'm a Honeycomb newbie).

thanks for the link..
Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.

The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..
again Thanks
Thats a steel of a deal right there
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...
~Much love to the community.
Just ordered one for a friend. Total with plain ole ground shipping, $244.99! Thanks for the heads up.

I got mine for $199 + $35 shipping from them. Im pleased with it and it was in perfect shape. They reported it as new open box but was actually a refurbished one. That being said it was a great tablet @ a great price. Get one while you can.

Great find! This is cheaper than I've been buying them off of Craig's List!
I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.
very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.
My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Woot Buy
Got my Acer Iconia a500 from the woot website. I bought a 32gb refurbished a500 with wifi (standard with 90 day Acer warranty) and I received it in about a week and a half. It cost me 300 plus 5 dollars shipping and it has been working great so far. Love the forums by the way, very helpful (first time poster here).

20% off coupon
This is Office Max in-store coupon for 20% off; it includes tablets and eReaders. Of course, Office Max may not be near everyone, but you can try price matching with Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy in-store.
If in-store doesn't work, you can always try through phone order or online chat. I got the 32gb one for $215+tax through Office Depot chat online (rep didn't let me get the 16gb since Office Max website doesn't show the 16gb one).
Used the same coupon and picked up a 32 gb for $233.89 after tax. Good deal! But OM seems to be OOS around orange county, heard they will get new shipment Monday.

another nice effort from Google
Going to try in a little bit. Will report back but I see no reason why this doesn't work/ Also, living in Florida, computer products are tax free this week for back to school. Other people I have come across have reported that tablets fall under this category, which makes sense.
Damn, nearest office max is 40miles away. Had one been closer I would have bought anew 32gb and return my staples 16gb -$30 coupon.

$215.99, final price. Quite the savings! Going to return my 16gb best buy one later today.
Very nice! I wished it was tax free in CA. I also bought OM protection plan for 2 years. Anyone have experiences with OMs protection plan? Debating if I should cancel it. The girl that worked there said I can return the tablet in any condition within 2 years and either get it replaced or refunded full amount with a gift card. Sounds too good to be true.

You should see if there is a deductible and whether it covers lost/stolen and physical damage.
$54 off is amazing. I would jump on it before OM decides to exclude certain devices or cancels the coupon. I paid full price at Amazon the first day it went on sale (Friday). Paid $300 for Saturday delivery. Returning it and buying locally would be lucrative. I wonder if Amazon will price match if I call them. Tell them I'm within my 30 days and I can save $54 if I go through the hassle.
Hmmm.
I sent them an Email saying that I am within my return policy and would like to see if they would Price Match the coupon. I linked the coupon and the a image of the scanned receipt. We shall see.
Just took the coupon up to Best Buy to see if they'd price match a refund since I bought mine on Friday, and they did. I walked out with $49 cash in my pocket. Thanks OP!

I bought mine from BB as well. So you still have yours and you just went in to see if they would match the difference?

Yep. It's in their best interest to do so, otherwise I'd return it and then buy another for the matched price. They don't want to end up with an extra used device that can't be sold new.

Just curious (and I'm really not trying to start some big discussion), is BB still doing the scan your driver's license and send to 3rd party analysis thing (for PMs and returns)?
Just called bestbuy. Mine said they don't price match coupons

Got mine from BB last week and used a GC for part of the purchase, called them up and they said they do not price match post sale.
But are you saying if they did give a refund from a price match after sale....and you used a gift card for part or all of the purchase.....you only get $10 back?
I also thought the salesman at BB told me when I was completing the sale, said "You can not return for refund, you can only return for exchange."
Of course it sort of went in one ear and out the other as I thought to myself....why would I think of returning for a full refund.

Yes, I had a $50 GC so it knocked it down from ~$300 to like $247.
If you have a store nearby and they have the device, you can get 20% off until 1/11/2014. The online coupon details indicate only "select" tablets so not sure about the N7 with online purchase, but store purchase has no such disclaimer and includes tablets and eReaders on the coupon.

Thanks for this. Just a heads-up, I caught this deal last night, then called Best Buy to get a price match. They ended up doing so, and giving me the White version of the 32GB (which they're recently started to stock) for a total of $234 shipped, which is retail minus 20% plus local sales tax. Can't ask for much better a deal than that!

When I called best buy, the rep asked for the price match and was told no by whomever stating they don't price match coupons?! So I will be returning the first one I bought from them (had a dead pixel and dust under the screen) and buy from officemax. Their loss.

That's a bummer. When I spoke with the BB rep, they had to do some verification behind the scenes. I was surprised they matched it for me because I was requesting the white model but price matching it to Office Max's black model (they don't have white). Nonetheless, OMX was sold out online, and but had the option of buying online for in-store pickup. So as soon as the BB rep could get a hold of the store to verify the price, they OK'ed it. You're right, I suppose it's their loss. They'd still make plenty of margin on the sale, even with the 20% off.
To be honest, I'd say you call back and try it again while the sale is still on. I've read OMX is ending the sale soon, and best buy should ultimately honor the price. I think the turning point for me was when I showed then that you can add it to your cart online and have the out-the-door price show up as the 20% off. Anyway, best of luck to you.

The rep actually felt bad about it stating he should have done it after checking the site himself because it was taking so long to get a response from whoever does the price checks. Also, since the one I bought three days ago in store from them had defects, he said he maybe should have told them that too since he said they don't like to do price matches. He did see it was sold out online but I told him that it was available for pickup in store, from both retailers (apparently, best buy was showing out of stock on his side, but I was able to add it to my cart). I just would have preferred to order from best buy. Didn't even think about getting them to call a store. Went ahead and ordered from office max

I see. Sorry you had a poor experience with the previous purchase, but at least you were able to get the deal. I agree, though, on purchasing from BB. I dont necessarily prefer BB for all purchases in general, but in this case, I'd definitely prefer them over OMX.
I picked up a new Nexus 7 this past weekend. Thanks OP for the info on the Office Max discount. The closest Office Max to me is 65 miles away; however I got my local Best Buy to price match the 20% discount. I spent a week debating whether or not to buy the 16gb or the 32gb model. Ended up getting the 32gb that I wanted for the price of the 16gb! Total was $228 with tax.
$150 for both 32GB and 64GB versions. It may be temporary price so act fast if you are in market for new unlocked Nexus 6.

Woohoo!!!! Oh wait, I already have one. But I can't complain, mine was $489 free shipping 5 weeks ago. No accessories though. $500 would have been a good price from the beginning, and they would have sold a lot more. Oh well. Good price for those still wanting one.
thanks...
just bought mine yesterday. supposed to be delivered on thursday.
Shipped
1 Nexus 6 (64GB, Cloud White) $699.00. hopefully they will do a price adjustment for me.

I don't think price alone affected low sales. Poor marketing. This was meant to compete with other flagship phablets. And they did a piss poor job. For the average person they don't care about "pure android" or timely updates. They want the latest and greatest. Seems like Google didn't do much to market this phone for people outside of the people who already have/own/want a nexus. Nexus crowd expect a cheaper price and were turned off by the size. If Google wanted this to sell better they should have marketed as a competitor to the iPhone 6+ and Note 4.
I bought mine 30 days ago. So how long they go back to do price adjustment?

that makes me feel better. i will update here as soon as i find out.
thanks.
I coincidentally was purchasing one from the Play store when this price change occurred. Was looking at Amazon Warehouse deals and noticed new 64gb were the same price.
Wanted to swait and see what the next Nexus 5 had in store, but my Galaxy Nexus is finally croaking and well past its prime. Should have a new phone this evening. Then time to cut my Sim and wait for Google Fi so I can cut VZW.
They will reimburse you if you have a recent buy through them, got mine a week ago n they helped me out which is great!!

I just got off the phone with Google. They had my joy on a yoyo string. First it was yes we can refund. then no we cant, because you're out of the 15 day refund period( by 1 day!!!). So I told her I havent connected it because of waiting on project fi. But also explained i was looking to maybe get the S6 and just return the nexus 6. I continued to tell her I saw online that google dropped the price and some people have gotten the difference refunded. She spoke to the manager and he said "no don't lose the sale just refund the difference"
So the $150 is suppose to post in my account in 2days.
Fyi there's a 15 day refund policy. they can work around that if you threaten to return the phone. Also. I'm sure if it's been more than 30days it won't work either way.
they did refund me the difference.
here is the email i got.......
Thank you for contacting Google about your recent Nexus 6 order!
In keeping with our Price Protection Policy, I've refunded you the difference in price resulting from our recent price reduction.
If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to reach out, and congratulations on your new phone!
Thanks,
Jessica
