$500 32GB Xoom WiFi + Free Gel Case @ Costco

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/1...on-sale-at-costco-for-499-plus-free-gel-case/

Is this deal online? Its coming up to 589 when I add to cart

I just returned my WiFi Xoom at Costco 3 days ago. When I returned, the lady working the counter said "oh it looks like there's a $100 price drop coming, I think they're just trying to get rid of these things".
When I went over to the displays for the Xoom, I saw nothing advertising $500, they were all still the same displays advertising $589.
Should also be noted that the Costco Xooms already came with a free gel case, its in the bottom of every box.
So anyone who bought a WiFi Xoom at costco on release still has like 8 more days to return and re-buy at $500, or get them to reimburse the difference, before the 90 day return policy comes to an end.

They might be confusing the Acer Iconia and the Xoom.
The Costco here that I got my Xoom at a little over a month ago, stopped carrying the Xooms.
Now they have a big display of 32gb Acer Iconia's plus case for $479
I guess my question is, if needed, how would I return my Xoom and get a replacement if my store doesn't carry them anymore?

I don't think they've confused them. There's just a legitimate price drop for whatever reason.
You can get the price assurance refund of the difference at any store that acknowledges the price drop I'd assume.

Most costcos have run out of them. I'm sure they are just lowering the price to push the few they have left out. Just go up and say hey i bought this a month ago and you now have it lower. They will call a manager and he will give you the difference. If he says sorry nothing i can do, say ok then i'm returning it. He will give you the difference.

i tried getting one today but they were out of stock and the price is $500. i am going to another one that has them in stock. i also tried to get walmart to price match but one store said they dont with membership clubs and the other store it was too confusing for the manager... blah

I called the three closest stores near me and none had them in stock. The lady on the phone at one store said some in the Phoenix area had them in stock but were showing a price of $569.99.

This might bring my 32gb tab down to $200. I think I'll have to try just for some good clean fun.

Where you getting it?

None of the Staples in my area have the GT in stock, with no idea when they might be getting any in.

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.

Best buy said they dont price match coupons.

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.

+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.

Today Only wifi Xoom $349.99 NEW not refurb

I just received this e-mail from CNET stating that the wifi Xoom is selling for $349.99 + $4.99 s/h on Daily Steals (new, not refurb).

YEP! Just ordered from there! Excited to finally replace this Crappy Ipad!
Want to use the xoom with google navigation as I do on my Evo..
Any tips or tricks to do to it?

Nice, i just paid 345 for a like new one on ebay. I would have believed it was new if it wasn't told to me though so I don't feel too bad

Has anyone received the email about shipment yet? I've read bad things about dailysteals...

From feedback on bargain sites and from personal experience, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for delivery. Since these are liquidation merchants, returns are difficult. If you have issues, you'd likely have to deal with your payment provider or the manufacturer directly. They aren't "bad," as long as you know who you're dealing with.
IMO, if the Xoom is what you want, the $350 refurb from Walmart is a better option. The 15-day electronics returns period for many B&M stores has been extended to Jan 2012. Walmart's return policy is liberal.
But if every dollar counts, then the Xoom refurb is $330+$5 ship on Woot today. These are normal prices going forward for Teg2 tabs, so don't get excited and take your time. The price differential between these and new tablets (the Asus Prime or Xoom 2) isn't that great.

(Deal) Buy Galaxy Tab 7" Get $25 Gift Card ::Walmart::

This deal just started this week, and last all month. For those who want a GT7, but are iffy on it. This is a great deal, you receive a $25 gift card as soon as you buy it. Mainly Super Walmart's carry the GT7, but you might find it at a "normal" (Walmart w/o food, and tire service).
So those who are wanting one, buy it now You have no reason to not buy it Use that $25 on Food, or Gas (Some Walmart's have Gas Stations). Or save it for later I don't care, jut get your dream tablet

Check local ads for deal, and you can also match prices I bought one for 200!

To sweaten the deal a little more, if you or a family member work there you get another $25 off for the employee discount! I am going to pick one of these up today.

I would just say to make sure there aren't better deals online. I got mine for $240 ($9 discount) and without tax. Sales tax in my state is 9% which would have added $22 to the price.
Always cross check prices.
