So. . . . . Groupon screwed me over. . . . - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General

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

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.

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).

Where did you buy your tab?

I want to get a Tab this weekend and I've been reading up on the SGT 10.1, problem is I don't know where I should go to buy one... and if I need to, I want to be able to return it with little/no hassle...
Any recommendations?
I bought mine from Costco. $599. 90 day return policy and 2 year warranty. I think it is worth paying retail for those two things.
+1 after considering lower price from Amazon ( meaning no sales tax), immediate availability - but 14 days return policy ( Best Buy) I decided that it's worth to play safe and buy from Costco. Free shipping, had it next day after ordering online, 90 days return policy - the most important thing for me after 6 Asus Transformers fiasco. ( fortunatelly all issues were in 30 day return window)
The local Best Buy. The first Tab that I got bricked itself soon after being powered on and I got a replacement with no hassle. The replacement has been flawless, thankfully.
Got mine at Best Buy. I had a $100 gift card from over a year ago that I never used. Decided to finally use it and put it towards paying for the tab.
I got mine from BB the day it came out. Had to wait while they were unloaded from the truck.
Traded it for an iPad.

I returned my Xoom to Costco right before 90 days. Got my refund + tax. Bought the Tab on Amazon for $599 + no tax + no shipping. Spent the difference plus a few more bucks and bought the bookcase cover.

Sprint store, just billed it to my account and I have 30 day warranty. It will not show on my bill for a month but I already have most of it paid off, also if I did take it back (I wont) I just have my phones paid off for a month or two with my already added payment's.
Fry's electronics
I got mine from BB using the $100 off coupon. The coupon sealed the deal for me.
I got mine from BB on opening day. Glad I did. I bought the Zagg invisible shield and paid for them to install. When they opened the box, the screen had a defect and the had to get another. Then the Zagg I bought was defective and they got another one from the shelf and installed. If I did not have them install the Zagg I would have driven 40 minutes back home only to be mad. Saved me time and not being angry on opening day. BB gives you 30 days on the Zagg install.

Nexus 7 20% Off Office Max

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.

$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!

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.

$259 on Ebay

Newegg is selling black or white for $259 on ebay
I just got ordered one directly from newegg site the other day for $279. I never dealt with newegg before. Do you think they would adjust the price on my original order to $259?
If I return the $279 back, does newegg pick up the return shipping or do I?
Not going to lose sleep over the $20, but if pretty simple process and minimal hassle, $20 is twenty bucks

I have been waiting patiently, but then decided today to purchase of eBay for $259, I was going to wait next week so I price match Best buy, but I don't think they will match it nor stay at $259. Or $279 on NewEgg. Hopefully it s a perfect device. thursday.
Same Route
I took the Ebay route too - at 5 am this morning! No other source will approach this price for some time.
Are we getting Newegg's discards? I don't think so, sealed box is sealed box, and the units are advertised as "New" and nothing less.
Let's swap notes when we get our packages.

Talked to Newegg support chat this afternoon giving them my order number from yesterday's order and after some discussion got a $20 gift certificate on the way via email. Better than nothing and still got the $279 deal. Mine is on the way delivery scheduled for Tuesday. Good luck anyone else with the price matching.

You're reading something into the ebay buyer protection program that isn't there. If the item is "not as described" or you didnt received it then it would be covered. Receiving an item with a manufacturing defect is not specified addressed in the terms of the sale and assuming you could utilize the BPP in such a manner would be foolish.
So Newegg doesn't want anything to do with a "I don't like it after all" return, but a new item is covered by manufacturer warranty anyway right?
So it would be more of a pain to deal with manufacturer instead of retailer, but either way you wouldn't be stuck with a lemon right?

Let me share a story that may ease some fears. I dropped my HTC DNA and smashed the screen. Screen repairs are expensive, so I made the mistake of going with the cheapest vendor -- Mission Repair. Not only did they do a shoddy job, gluing the speaker back askew and leaving the red stripes on the side loose, but it was returned with the wifi malfunctioning.
I paid with PayPal (owned by ebay, of course), so I followed their procedures and opened a dispute, where I told my side of the story. Mission Repair actually responded that I should return the unit to them so that they could determine whether there was anything wrong with my phone! Of course this was unacceptable to me, so I escalated the case to a claim, which would force PayPal to intervene. I summed up my story and MR was given 10 or 14 days to respond.
I guess they realized that they had no ground to stand on, because AFAIK PayPal never heard back from them. Right after MR's response period expired, PayPal refunded me the cost of the repair. Well, in the meantime, the problem with my wifi cleared up. I wasn't about to say anything, though, because I felt I deserved at least a response from MR. If the wifi had still been broken, I would have pushed for more than the repair cost.
So, the point of the story is that PayPal and ebay seem serious about resolving disputes. I don't know about ebay buyer protection, but it's easy to get PayPal to arbitrate a claim. If this doesn't put many minds at ease, just look at NewEgg's 99.5% positive rating on ebay.

Is Newegg good ?

Was waiting for a deal on this tablet and it seems new egg has it on sale.I was waiting for a good deal. How good is new egg for good products ? Was hearing some pretty scary stuff about them such as used devices being sold as new and such. What has you guys experience been like using them. Should I jump the gun and go ahead ?

I purchased mine from them a week ago.
Mine came in an open box, but from what i have read, this happens in all stores.
New Egg is definitively not Amazon, i had lots of problems ordering mine, and customer service could not provide a simple answer. Having said that, they currently have the white version for $279, and you could see if their Masterpass offer (20% off) is still active for even more savings.

I was going to order from them but a little hesitant. I don't want a used device.Do you have to pay return shipping if anything is wrong ? How was your device ?

Yes. You have to go in store and have one of the workers look online and see that its indeed cheaper. Sometimes you can show them on your phone but most often they look it up themselves. Sometimes they try to say its not the same item but obviously there's only one model of the gpad. Only difference is white and black. Also they think all tablets are white due to the box only showing the white version. So you need to educate them that they need to read the sticker to see if it's black or white.

will bestbuy only match the $299 price or will they match the $20 rebate too? also does anyone know how long this sale will be up on newegg, I may not be able to get to BB for a day or two.

Honestly it all depends on the store. They will probably just price match the 299 price. The good thing about best buy is if you have any issues you can exchange easily. I had to exchange mine that had a dust particle under the screen.

Two days ago I had best buy match the $329 Newegg price. I am going to factory reset and return this tomorrow, then order from Newegg for $279.
Best buy will not post purchase price match with anyone other than themselves. They also won't match the coupon deal part.
While best buy has improved recently in response to online retailers putting pressure on then; they still will loose business this time with the restrictions of their policy.
It will be a pain to do this but worth $50.
I bought my LG G Pad 8.3 from Newegg when it was on sale for $250, tablet came just fine and works like a charm, no issues, have dealt with Newegg in the past and never had any issues.
I purchased mine yesterday using the 20 $ off total was about 299$. LOL I live in New Jersey so I had to pay $20 tax. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Newegg is usually fine, though they do like to re-sell returned items from time to time (especially for exchange replacements), and their return policy blows (they force you to pay shipping - about $12 - and won't ship you a new item until they receive and process the old one, which takes about a week). The one I got in the $250 sale was perfect, but the screen got borked during a screen protector installation, and the replacement seems to have faulty power/volume buttons.
Just returned the Best Buy one. That was $329 plus tax. Just ordered newegg with 3 day shipping, no tax to GA only $283.99 total.
I ordered mine yesterday as well for $283.99. As with all stores and sites, there will be some bad experiences. After reading all the positive reviews I opted to go with newegg. I paid via paypal in case there is some big problem and it's easier to dispute through them than my bank. Hopefully will get home from work on Fri. to have it waiting on me.

Back between Thanksgiving and Christmas I had Best Buy price match New Egg twice via phone. At that time they were running a post purchase guarantee but currently they (BB) only post match with themselves. The low price guarentee page on their site shows the policy. Scroll to the bottom to watch for special price match offers like I was able to get... twice.
Good luck!
