Looks like Costco is joining the band wagon...selling Wifi Xoom $589

But if you buy it online from Costco.com, you get free shipping and free gel case
http://androidcommunity.com/motorola-xoom-wifi-589-at-costco-with-free-gel-case-free-shipping-20110317/

but you have to wait a few days more. April 1st instead of March 27th.

Returning my 3G Xoom to Cosco this weekend and getting the Wifi version. Yay

"Pre-order now and it will begin shipping April 1, 2011."
That's kinda stupid....
Would be nice if they offered the gel case in store too...

Mine was sent to fulfillment already, wonder what will happen?

They very well might have the same deal in the store, if they stock it there. We'll have to wait until 3/27 to see for sure, unless somebody leaks the sales sheet like they did prior to the 3G's launch.

Just did this yesterday. The guy at the Verizon sales booth, who was the same guy that originally sold it to me, was like "oh no, you don't like the Xoom?"
I told him about the upcoming wifi version, and even he agreed that what I was doing was a good idea.

it has been proven that lack of availability is not an issue (meaning they are not flying of the shelf's) so why pre-order when i can walk to a Cotsco and buy and there wont even be a line

I just preordered through amazon prime and got free 2 day shipping and didn't pay tax. Hopefully I'll have it by the 28th.

+1.. I thought about the Costco route, but with tax the total would be more (even including the 'value' of the gel case - which I wouldn't use anyways). At least with Amazon it's $599 OTD.

Thats exactly what im gonna do. Plus costco has teh 90 day return policy, so if some crazy new tablet comes out i wont have any buyers remorse.

To those who pre-ordered on Amazon, would you mind checking your order information in the Amazon app (Android or iPhone).
I pre-ordered the wifi-only Xoom as soon as it went up on Amazon, and when I check my order information on the Amazon app (not the main website) there is a date under the "Two-Day Shipping" that says "April 29, 2011", above "Ship my items as they become available."
I sincerely hope that is not how long it is going to take before they can fulfill the order and it's just some oddball date that is showing up on my order info.
This date, nor any date at all, shows up on the regular Amazon website when I go view my open order.

Amazon picks a random date when they don't list the real launch date on the main page, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get an email a week before with the real ship date. I pre-order games all the time on Amazon and this always happens.

Reassuring. Thank you

Anyone still waiting on a WiFi-only B&H pre-order?

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

[Q] Who preordered from Best Buy?

I've been checking the status every since I saw that thread about ABT and TD shipping before the release date and I noticed that my order status says 1 item(s) Status Not Available.
Is this normal?

I preordered from BB.
I've been told repeatedly that it will not be there til 10/10.

lol did you try and see if you could use the fact that people on here have already gotten theirs as a way to get yours sooner too? I'm just worried that there is a problem with my order. But I guess it saying that the status is not available doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem... right?

I'm not familiar with Best Buy's pre-order process, have they already charged you? If they have, I wouldn't be worried.

It shows up in my transactions as a pending charge. They said they would charge the card once the order was shipped, but I've just signed in and I don't even see the pending charge in there anymore.

Definitely worth a call

Ugh... This sucks... they say there doesn't appear to be a problem, but I'm being told that they won't even ship it out to me until the 10th.. Why would I preorder on line if I can just go to BB when it opens on release day and pick one up?? I knew I should have just ordered from Tiger Direct...
Update:
I canceled my order with BB. Tiger Direct just got one more customer.

Was in best buy today and peered in the cage in the Samsung area of the store and what did I see? Boxes of note 2014s... Right there in plain site. Asked the sales guys about it and they said no, we don't have them. Took them over to the cage and said what is that... Oh man we can't sell those until the 10th so we better hide them. Wouldn't sell me one but they did open the cage and put them out of sight. I mentioned they were already shipping from other retailers but they wouldn't budge. Oh well, wait for the preorder shipment.

Well hopefully I'll still be able to get it on before the end of the week (Thursday or Friday). I usually go home on Friday afternoons to visit my parents and I'd really like to be able to set up the device over the weekend so I can have it ready for school on Monday.

I preordered from Best Buy only because I didnt have any funds available on my other credit cards. That might be a plus since BB's protection plans have always done me good so I got that for my note too. My order says "in progress" and when I click on the actual note line item, it tells me status not available. When I made the purchase though it did tell me it wouldnt ship until the 10th.
But now it makes me wonder if I should just change the method of shipping to pick up at the store.

Yea I placed an order with Tiger Direct, and I'll speak with them tomorrow or Monday. If they can't promise me a tablet by Thursday then I'll cancel my order with them and just call my local Best Buy and do an express check out. For some reason I don't have the option to place a pre-order for in-store pickup. Hopefully Tiger Direct will ship mine early, but I'm not expecting much. I'm prepared to just go to BB right when it opens to purchase on in the store. I've learned my lesson. I won't fool around with pre-orders anymore. Better off just picking up in store.

Idk how you guys pre ordered yours from best buy. But I went to store. Put 50 bucks down payment on device. So basically they hold one for me till whenever I walk in store and pay remainder once there in stock. Officially

Ordered from BB
I never had a problem pre ordering from BB, they just can't sell it until the release date. I got the Black 32gb. We will have it on the 10th, sometimes the email comes a day earlier also.

I usually get all my devices in white (in this case white 32GB) but thinking I should have gotten the black. The back part getting dirty is starting to get to me since I'll be using it every single day for hours on end. Here's hoping they ship today. I'm using this tablet for college and it would be great to have the opportunity to have the weekend to get it ready for next week.
That's only if my anxiousness doesn't get to me and I don't cancel the preorder to pick up at the store. ^^;;

Best Buy preorder
Just got my confirmation email that my tablet will be available for pick up tomorrow. Yeaaaa

Me too! Available to pick up tomorrow at Best Buy.
Sweet!!!

Awesome :good:
I'm hoping to just go in and pick one up off the shelf. Didn't preorder.
I like the white but I think I'll buy it in black. I'm afraid the white stylus might show wear/dirt over time.

Black friday: $35 sale

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.

Cyber Monday Woche (specific deal ends in 12 hours)

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.

Newegg Pre-Orders - Release Day... TODAY!

Anyone have received the confirmation from Newegg... They will send our phones today.... :cyclops:

I highly doubt they are going to ship today. They said they don't have any stock

On Newegg, the search results say 9/9, but when you click on the actual listing it says 9/10. Doubt they ship on the weekends, so it might only start the packaging process this weekend, and probably won't ship until Monday.

Just confirmed from a Newegg Rep that they don't even have stock of the phones yet. the date of 9/9 is when they will be 'released' from the manufacturer to be shipped to distributors. I am pretty bummed out.

Well, even that is what I am concerned about. The rep says they will receive stock today by afternoon. Don't know when they ship !

According to a rep at Newegg Canada:
"I show the estimated delivery time of the item is 9/9/2016 11:59:00 PM. Once we receive you item, your pre-order will be fulfilled later. "
"Once your pre-order transferred to a regular order, it normally takes 1-2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) to process an order prior to shipping. So your order will be shipped out on 9/13."

I guess so, because I only pre-ordered a week ago.

I prordered mine on the 7th. And the headphones were still available. They better be worth it as I had to be 36.98 in taxes when I could've gotten it tax free somewhere else.
