Xoom Lucky Strike - Post if you got on that Xoomon deal!

The deal is done. Xoom showing shipped and $592.xx charged. Now lets see how many of us are lucky.
Post once please
+1 Xoom (wife's birthday present)

I got in on the deal for 1, $647.74 shipped with gel case. CC shows a charge, order shows as shipping yesterday.

After picking one up at BB, I jumped on the deal. I received email confirmation and the charge is pending. Hopefully they make good and I can return this BB one.

I got a "thanks for your order" email at 1:34 PM Pacific time, and the order summary currently shows:
Shipping Status: Shipped on Feb 24, 2011 via Two-Day Shipping
Delivery Estimate: Mar 1, 2011 - Mar 2, 2011
tem(s) Subtotal: $869.97
Shipping & Handling: $10.95
Promotional Discount: -$257.55
Before Tax Total:$623.37​
This includes the Xoom, gel case, and portfolio case.
Still no tracking number, but I'm hoping it'll work out. Major kudos for Motorola and of course Droid.Modr if it does go through. I had been intending to wait for the WiFi-only model, this is much better.
One warning - some people reported that their total changed to the full un-discounted price as they were finalizing their order. It sounds as if this was around the time the coupon got invalidated, make sure you check your credit card statement to confirm the amount is correct. But the currently shown order summary should match the amount charged, if not please let us know.

So, it seems like no one has a tracking number yet for their order, right? I hope this goes through as it does seem like a fortuitous, albeit accidental, way for Motorola to get even more of the really passionate and knowledgeable people to jump on board with the Xoom. At the very least, they can see how many more people would have bought the Xoom on launch day if the WiFi version had been available.
To me, the real question that remains is how quickly Google responds with a Honeycomb update to address issues found by customers over the next few weeks.

I got my order in.
657.61 before tax for the 2 cases, standard dock and 2 day shipping.
Order status page says it shipped yesterday, but shows estimated delivery date of March 1 or 2. No tracking number.

I got in, the Xoom, gel case, speaker dock and 1 day shipping. Grand total, $736.91.

I got it after the first time the code stopped working. I was so excited I forgot to get my free 2-day shipping. =/ Arrival is estimated for sometime between the 2nd and 7th. I'm seriously just happy I got in on this deal though; it could take two weeks to get to me and I'd still be okay with it.

Xoom and Portfolio... forgot the Gel case. I sent an email and hope they can send it.

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.

+1 Costco return policy is fantastic.

Surprised no one has said this, Staples with the $100 off coupon.

Got mine (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) from HH Greg.

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.

Thats' where I got mine -- $399. I had been sitting on the fence, but when that coupon came in my email, I wasted no time.

Staples for me too. $100 off was irresistible.

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.

Best Bu, 18 months no interest was worth paying retail, didn't hurt at all. No need to return/exchange mine, it's been great so far.

[Q] What's the shipping price to Canada for the nexus 7

I haven't added my creditcard yet for preodering but does anyone know what the shipping price is to Toronto Ontario?

Nexus 7 (16GB) - The first tablet from Google. Thin, light, and designed for Google Play.
CA$259.00
Shipping (Two Day Shipping):
CA$19.99
Tax:
CA$33.67

$19.99
I ordered one initially & then 3 other friends wanted it too, so it still stays at $19.99 & now we can split the shipping 4 ways.

Mine says 19.99 as well. However, I'm skeptical about the 2 day shipping. I have never had anything ordered online shipped in just 2 days in Canada for 19.99...
We'll see.

Reading between the lines on what Google has said, they seem to be using staged shipping. All devices to a particular area get shipped as a batch to somewhere close, then fanned out from there.

Canada shipping
Amazing that shipping is 19.99 to Canada and only 13.99 waaay out here in Honolulu.

$239.44 is the actual price for the 8 GB model. Buy it from Google cuz it's cheaper than staples and other places.

From the The Google Play site:
All packages are delivered via UPS two-day shipping. However, please note that it may take up to 2 business days for us to process your order for shipment. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email notification with a UPS tracking number. Your estimated time of delivery will be determined at the point that your order has been processed and shipped. It may take 24 hours for the UPS package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.

According to UPS Canada, "two day shipping" refers to its Expedited Service, meaning "Second business day delivery to most metropolitan areas".
Now, if you or I wanted to send a 2lb box across Canada using UPS Expedited Service it would cost $48. But I suppose a company the size of Google might strike a deal

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.

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.
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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

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.

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)?

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.

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.

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.
