Best Pre Sale deal? - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 General

What is the best deal going on for the Pre Sale?
Best Buy with the $200 trade in sounds good but it is $50 more than Amazon.
Anyone else running anu Pre Sale deals?

I agree. And did the same.
$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.

I selected to say shopping and I'll only get it on the 21st
Amazon releases the phone on the 17th...and I guess it doesn't deliver ok Saturday or Sunday... But lately amazon/UPS has been using USPS to deliver stuff on Sat/Sun so you never know..

17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.
My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.
Slap me and call me Mary, that is sweet.

I pre-ordered at BB yesterday. They said they would match Amazon, which surprised me. They also said I could use the $200 trade-in GC to pay for the phone.

I pre-ordered thru best buy. They are going to give me $200 for my Nexus S 4G!!! (It normally only would get $14.00 trade in) I also signed up last year for a $50 discount on my next phone at best buy. So if the honor amazon at $299, after $200 trade in and my additional $50 discount. I'll be paying $49.99 total with contract which I already paid into a gift card to pre-order it.

How did you get the $50 price cut from best buy a year ahead of time?

Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.

hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299

Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.

I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.

I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:
Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:
The online prices of retailers not listed
Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer

put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in .
While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.

I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?

I just pre-ordered the Note 4 from Sprint....$329 total....can't wait !!!!!!!!

It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.

Best US deal I have seen, ordering next week!

Just found this deal. Unlocked for $599, best price I have found. Anyone dealt with this place before?

Be careful...they use to be called "Exoticphones.com"
I'd be careful too...
How can they offer a discount with an ATT plan????
Seems suspicious to me...but good luck if you go with it!
Im only guessing here but I bet a phone vendor could sign you up for ATT with any phone, like an iPhone. Then turn around and sell that iPhone at retail to another person. But give you the 2 year discount on the Note.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Vendor signs you up for a new 2 year contract with at&t. They choose iphone 4s as your new phone. They keep the 4s and sell it for like $600 bucks. They are then able to offer you the note for $599
I would cut the middle man out and just do it yourself if you don't already have an at&t contract or are not in upgrade status.
Just odered with overnight shipping. Will let you guys know how it goes. Im beyond excited!

Did you order for $599, or did you do the contract? If legit, the contract is very tempting.

The contract is only $200 cheaper. If you instead extend your contract with buying an iphone 4s, you'll come out far ahead. You'll pay $200 (instead of $400) and you can sell it on ebay for $600 at least then use that money for the Note. So in effect the iphone route is at least $200 cheaper for the same end result. That is assuming this is legit, and ignoring ebay fees (use craigslist.)

I also just called them up. I work in NYC and they seem to offer local pickup, so what better way to see if they actually have it in stock then to walk over there...The person that answered said it was out of stock and due back in, in about 2 weeks.
When I pressed for a more specific date, he just said he wasn't sure, but about 2 weeks.
...All kinds of red flags here.

Thanks. I was partially looking at it as a convenience issue (not having to deal with reselling, no fees, no uncertainty of what it ultimately sells for), but you're right, $200, or even $100, is a big chunk for convenience. But ultimately, it's not very convenient if "electropirise" screws you over.

is $399.00 with a contract. so add 95 to that?

You want people to pay 95 more full price compared to the full price on that other site in the OP

This is a pretty good deal -- except no way to get warranty. Expansys USA has a great reputation on resellerratings.com.
Will probably get mine thru ebay so I can get a SquareTrade warranty.

Wow total came out to be $694.99 not too shabby! Thanks for the code!!!
Watching this thread since I wouldn't advice anyone to order anything from that website and I'm really curious to see if they will deliver.
There's another thread discussing the website that OP bought the phone. Always use the search button.
Just wanted to make everyone aware that Amazon is selling Notes for $660 shipped. That is the cheapest I've seen ANYWHERE on the web. I picked one up today through amazon, fulfilled by the oem shop.
Hopefully I'll get a new unit that hasn't been opened.
Yesasia.com has it about $650. I only bought small things from the site,yet I feel it does business alright.

OP, did you get it?
Anyone know if the OP got his Note next day, or at all?
Dang, Expansys-USA is up to a whopping $779.99 for theirs.

Is Best Buy Serious?

I was all set to trade in my S3 for an S4 using Best Buys 'buy back' program. I just got a notification that they're accepting pre-orders, but for the unactivated full price of, wait for it, $749.99!!! What the heck? That's $100 more than At&t. What a bummer...

They'll price match AT&T.
That's what I thought. In fact it's part of their low price guarantee. But At&t has already announce what they're selling it for, you'd think Best Buy would have check that first.

how much do they really buy back? Aren'y you better off selling it on ebay or craigslist? You can probably sell it for $400.
Bestbuy is a total ripoff if you buy full price. The price point for this device is too damn high.
If you are not in a rush, wait a month. Even in the UK the sim free prices are heavily inflated. In a month or two they will drop along with bug fixes.

How exactly does it work? Do you place the pre-order at the $749.99 price, and then when you go to pick it up, you bring a printout of the AT&T page showing the AT&T price, and they refund you the difference then?
Or is there some other process? I must admit I do appreciate the 30-day return policy and the no restocking fee of Best Buy versus 14 days + restocking fee at AT&T.
Edit: I just notice that pickup is not an option... shipping only, apparently.
Do not do any buy back bs they will always low ball you... Just sell it on craigslist and make more money.
I was on best buy website and the price is ridiculous.

Bestbuy no longer price matches contract phones...FYI.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
My local Best Buys WILL price match contract phones at local store rates (not online), but they will not price match pre-orders. So you will have to pre-order and exchange your $50 cash for a gift card, and then bring the ad and have the store call the local store to verify the price/promotion once you pick up your phone.
But of course, some stores will do contract phones and some won't. Just depends on the store/sales rep/manager. Full-price unsubsidized phones should be no problem, though, once the phone is actually released.
I would double check that.... if your local store does that your EXTREMELY lucky...... policy changed around march 4th.

I've heard other stores have as well. And I was just there for the One pre-order not too long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a policy change, as employees there don't seem to be well versed in much, but regardless of that my answer still stands.
You sir are lucky.... . My customers would kill to be able to still price match contract devices..... . Either way I'm excited for this launch...

Guys, they price match, that's for sure.... I asked when going in-store to pre-order - I'm not paying full price online and wait for shipping when I can pay $50 to reserve one and get it on launch day just like I did last year - they will now price match Amazon
I had to price match the SIII for $150 on launch last year with Target, since they weren't doing online price matching, but now they are, so just escalate it until you get it matched! I only paid $100 for my SIII on launch (see below)! Just go into the store and pay the $50 to reserve it, then deal with the price matching on launch day, it's all very simple and I've done this at least 4 times in the last 2 years with various Best Buy stores for the phone accounts I manage
I know I'm walking away with this S4 on launch day for $50 off from the Phone Freedom thing they did this year like last year, and hopefully another $50 more off from price matching!

Back when the evo3d dropped with the phone buy back and a price match I pulled up on my phone in the store, I ended up walking out of the best buy in town with one for under 20 bucks out of pocket. Was only a year ago. Hope this isn't true about them no longer doing any price matching. I'll actually have to order one online from somewhere lol.

I'm trying to follow this.... so a year ago, you went to a BBY and bought a year old phone for $20 after a buy back and a price match? Shouldn't they have given you money at that point???
I forgot to mention, if you are on this forum and using the buy back system, let me introduce you to Craigslist for quick cash or eBay for the best profits.... I sold an iPhone 4 on eBay that my cousin bought and used for a week before making the switch to Android, and pulled $625 from some schmuck in Bahrain who obviously had to have it, so if you walk into a BBY and let go of a current phone (read: NOT a now two year old Evo3D) and unload your phone for less than $200, most going for around a hundred bucks, let me know and I'll sell it for you for a 25% commission! haha

Yes, that's what I've been told--price-matching only for contract phones. Last year, Best Buy price matched Amazon Wireless and I paid one penny for my Sprint S2. As did my wife and mom.

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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
$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!

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.

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.

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.

Price reduced to $299

The price of the Galaxy Note 4 has been reduced online to $299, from $349.
I had already pre-ordered at $349. I called about a refund of the $49, and I was told to call back when I received the device, and I would be given a $50 credit on my account at that time.

Hopefully Best Buy will follow suit and the final price on delivery will be $299..then take off a $200 trade-in...woo hoo!
Good to know, thanks. Never would have thought to check the price after I ordered the phone. Will call when I get it and ask for the same 50 bucks.
I just got off the phone with sprint. They are not making me cancel my order and reorder. They said they will credit my credit card the difference paid when I activate the new phone.

Not exactly. Ordered it for my other line for my GF. I have it preordered at Best Buy and my work was nice enough to "donate" an S3 for me to trade in and get the $200.
All this discussion and no link. I don't see any reduction on sprint or bestbuy websites.

I stand corrected. Thank you!
I called order processing and asked for the $50 dollar refund on Saturday. The girl put me on hold for a while and then came back and said she would apply the $50 to my account. A half hour later I got a text saying the refund had been applied, checked and it was there. I am on SERO I don't if this made the difference.

Best buy note price
Anybody have any idea why the best buy price hasn't dropped to $299 like everywhere else?
Is Best Buy still doing the $200 trade in? I judt went to preorder and dont see it..
UPDATE:
*I see it on Sprints page now.. but not BB. IDC who I get it from, just gimme my 2hondo bro..
**Traded in my old HTC 8925, Sprint gave me $ zero, lol.. hope the Samsung program pulls through...
Something strange is happening to me on sprint.com. I try to do a pre-order, getting to the last part where I would charge my CC. but my total is $300 with only .65 cents in taxes. I'm in California and it should be $64. I already have an in-store pre-order and traded it my device in, but I am now pulling my hair why at sprint.com i'm not getting charge taxes.... 2yr renewal price!

Best buy has there own trade in program, it's different from the Samsung promo. You get a 200$ bb gift card for any working smart phone, and they say *any* smart phone, no 10$ minimum like Samsung promo. My friend is turning in an old Treo.
Also the Samsung promo will not be honored if note 4 purchased at best buy.

I'd call them back. They issued me a credit immediately.
Best Buy
Best Buy is at $299 now!
That's freakin sweet. Only having to pay $100+ taxes, and hand in my eVo 4g lte, that's awesome. This phone has about had it, just 7 more days.

BestBuy Note4 full price (w/out contract)

I just pre-ordered mine today, the sales rep couldn't tell me the full price of the phone today bc its unknown untill Friday morning. I know sprint will be seling it for $720 but wonder if bestbuy will increase the price to the point were the $200trade-in will be worthless.
Thanks

It wouldn't shock me. Personally, I've never seen the point in buying phones through Best Buy unless you want their device protection program. It's usually cheaper to just buy it directly from the carrier, either online or in-store.

The price is $799, I ordered mine off best buys website. My total price was just a little over $900 with expedited shipping. They are supposed to price match Amazon's price at $720 when I get the phone. Then I will get my $200 gift card for my trade in when I go into the store. Long story but last Monday they couldn't take pre-orders for Sprint so I had to order online, the manager told me to come back in with my trade in to get my gift card after I received the phone.

Why on earth would you pay $900 for a Note 4? If you wait like a day after the release date you'd see some on ebay for probably $500 where people paid the $300 & renewed their contract just to flip it and make $200 cash.
Hell, even if you setup a new line, paid $299.99 for the phone under a new 2 year contract then canceled the line and paid a $350 ETF, that's still $650 instead of $900.
My note 4 is arriving tomorrow and it's free. Samsung is giving me $200 for a trade in and Sprint is giving me $150 for changing to them from Verizon. Contract price $299.99 = me making $50.

That's what I had to pay up front since best buy told me they were out of pre-orders. Once I get the phone I'm supposed to take it to my local store and they will price match Amazon at $720 then I'll get a $200 gift card to make my total $520. I don't do contacts anymore with cell phone providers. I prefer to buy my phones out right and new. I've been burnt on eBay and craigslist!
You are the only person I've heard of that has said anything about buying a note 4 off contract and getting the 200 go. Everywhere else has said it has to be on a contract agreement, via contract or easy pay.

I don't know who "everywhere else" is but my local best buy store and the best buy mobile post purchase support line have confirmed to me that it is available if you buy the phone outright. I guess I won't find out for sure until I this weekend (I'm out of town). If for some reason I don't get the gc, the price is just not worth it to me. I'll return it and get the nexus 6, which I may do anyway.

I will confirm or deny this. I will keep you posted.
I just came from BestBuy and the $200 incentive is a gift card that you get when you buy a Note 4 + bring a working phone to tradein and either put it on an existing line or a new line. The giftcard can be used in any transaction you want like toward the note4 transaction a new TV, Laptop, etc..
Something i forgot to ask is if BB will match Amazone outright price????...... i heard that BB only match "with contract price" ...if some can let me know i will apreciated!!!
Thanks!!
note; the only situation that the gift-card can't be use toward is when choosing SPRINT EASY PAY.... the reason as to why is long and confusing... sorry!!!
