Given the QC issues that may not appear immediately or within most stores' return time frame, I'd say the PlayStore, as they'll advance ship you a replacement when (not if) you have a problem.
Is it alright to purchase from bestbuy. Thsnks!!!

So long as, after their return period, you don't mind dealing with ASUS directly, and their painful (experience speaking here) warranty process. As opposed to getting your replacement before you send your Nexus, you send it to them and wait a couple of weeks.
Your choice. I'm not making that mistake again..... Ever....

All depends on the service after you buy it. That's what matters.

Got mine at Best Buy, no issues and they price matched.
Walmart, they have a 3 month return policy, whereas best buy has a 14 day return policy and will ban you from returns.

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

So I purchased last week on Wednesday a nexus 4 and assuming that because i paid for two day shipping to get it by Friday or Tuesday at the latest (Tuesday because of labor day)
But it is now Wednesday of the following week and still no Nexus 4 and I cannot use to tracking number as all UPS says on the status of the shipment is "Ready for UPS" I'm at a loss of what to do because I finalized my cancellation with previous carrier Monday and got service with T-Mobile :/ but no phone....sadface
Any suggestions as to why UPS is being like this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
2-day shipping only means once it is shipped it will take 2 days. It does not account for processing time which can be several days. If you have a shipping number then you should get it in the next day or two. The UPS shipping status does not update until later at night in many cases.
They sent me an email stating it shipped the Thursday after I ordered it and that still doesn't help the fact that I cannot track the package a week after its been shipped :c

It just means they created the shipping label. The shipping status will update once they ship it (at least later that night).

Yea they'll refund it to your card once they get it back via UPS or whatever and most likely keep 50 bucks for reboxing fee just as a store would do, its 20 days remorse period from telesales and 14 in a corporate store.

All is not lost if you want to go back to jellybean. As long as you are still under Samsung warranty you can go to a at&t with a service center and exchange it . Just make up any good reason and they will give you a new one. It is refurbished but it is a downgrade option.
