Best place to buy transformer - Eee Pad Transformer General

So i want to buy the transformer today, and i was wondering where is the best place to buy? I am in the US, in IL, but because of the quality control issues, I want to be able to take it back if I have to. Also, price is an issue, as it seems to vary. A lot of places have it online, but do any stores carry it yet? As for online companies, they are ok, but it would be nice to at least have a store to return to if i need to..I guess another issue would be getting one of the newer models that might have fixed the power cord issues and some QC issues. I searched for an answer, but I didn't find anything really giving advice on where to buy, now that it is actually in stock in some places...thanks!

Amazon.com. Why pay sales tax? I'm in IL also so I share your pain of living in such a crappy state.

lol i hear ya...especially cook county...but amazon only has them for 453 right now? seems like the price keeps moving around...i have prime too so i would do it, but the extra 50 bucks kills it

Newegg.com

For the in store pick up check your local Best Buy.

ya, newegg has always been decent for me...same price as everywhere else though..dang, i really wish amazon didn't have such a high price..and i checked my best buy...nothing anywhere near me...

Amazon charges sales tax here. Newegg does not.
Newegg for life. Build quality for my TF101 is perfect as well (first order)

Interesting...looks like the Frys electronics has it about a half hour from me...might check that out...

I just noticed i have some sort of 10% off coupon on ebay? Has anyone used this? Looks legit...i see the tigerdirect deal for the 32 gb 474...do you guys think there are other reputable ebay sellers?

i am selling mine with extras
up for sale is an asus transformer 16gb with honeycomb 3.1.
comes with a skinomi screen protector not applied , asus official case and alot of goodies on the honeycomb, like games and programs
asking 415 shipped
transformer alone is 399 plus tax and shipping
case is 40 plus tax and shipping
skinomi skin protector is 20 plus tax and shipping
so i am selling it for a hell of a deal cause i need the money
heat is wolf1306
pm me if anyone is interested.

I seem to be having problems with my pms for some reason...i just sent you a message . Are you visioninc on ebay? cause i have a coupon for ebay so i might just use that for your listing. Few questions though...do you have light bleed at all and to what degree, or dead pixels? and do you have a receipt you could give me for the warranty? Why are you getting rid of it? thanks...

Amazon or Newegg for sure. No taxes and 30-day return/refund with no restocking fee!

I bought mine from Toys R Us on Wednesday for 399.99, plus they gave me a $25 dollar gift card that I used towards the purchase. I'm loving my Transformer so far! I just wish I could figure out how to Tether it with my Blackberry

I got mine in Fry's Burbank, CA. Have not run into any problems with it so far and have not seen and noticeable bleeding either.

Got mine at Newegg for $389 with no tax and free shipping by registering a new accounts and using the "newcustomer10" coupon. Not much of a savings but it was the best deal I could find until the TD one yesterday.
Newegg was also was willing to cross ship when I had to exchange my first Transformer due to some defects.

I bought my 32GB from Amazon. The 16GB was $50 more than the original price. I would recommend Best Buy.

Amazon always sell at retail price. The over-retail must have been a 3rd-party seller.
And yes, Amazon are definitely the best place to buy from now that the shortage is over. Amazing customer service and 30-day hassle-free return.

Psugtooq, are you saying that Newegg sent you a replacement before they received the damaged one back???

I ended up going with newegg...good call on the new customer code...i used it also...amazon had the 16gb 50 over and it was direct through them...i know its not normal but it was so....newegg has been good in the past and I heard alot of crap about td and their shipping...plus it was through ebay too and that can get interesting...great price though

Yep. After I sent back the defective one, I went into live chat and politely asked that Newegg send out a replacement immediately as I didn't want to have to wait 2 weeks for them to process the RMA and issue an exchange. The rep told me to call their customer service 1-800 number and ask for an "advanced replacement." I did so and a replacement was sent out the next day with their standard 3 day shipping (arrived in 2). Their was no additional charge, just the stipulation that my CC will be charged if the original isn't received within 30 days.

Hello folks!
Is there anything wrong in getting it from Amazon - US, even if its private seller?
I was thinking of ordering it from Amazon for two reasons:
1. Using Amazon's 12 month interest free finance option
2. At least initial return (within 7 days) would be easy, IF something is wrong with the device?
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
I have been watching amazon resellers and considering them. Most of them are on ebay too. But see my other thread--for a 790 price expansys usa has the device in stock and they have a better return policy--that I would trust more IMHO.

Yes, i did your post about them. I guess I should order it from Expansys-US. Just wanted to take advantage of without interest 12 month payout from Amazon.
Thank you again!
Just ordered mine through another seller (Techno.Trading.House) on amazon for 770+8 for expedited shipping and i used my store card for the 12 month financing.

Where to order from? (USA)

So after seeing nothing interesting in the AT&T announcement, I placed my order yesterday with Handtec.co.uk. Even though it was showing in stock, I got an email stating that it ran out of stock just as they were fulfilling my order.
I have Amazon Prime but they are showing 1-2 months shipping time. I'm trying to decide between waiting or paying a premium.
Any suggested reputable sites? I'm in Houston, TX if that matters.

I'd just wait for Amazon if I were you. No risk involved.

I was under the impression that Amazon will not help at all with warranty service if anything goes wrong with the phone (as opposed to Handtec or expansys who can help you with the service if you mail it back to them). Am I mistaken?
Got mine for $649 and free shipping end of November but don't know what it is now since I haven't been on the site. I had it overnighted and no issues at all

If the GNote is fullfilled by Amazon, which mine from Global Mobiles is, the regular Amazon return policy is in effect. Might not help with warranty issues but you could return it if not to your satisfaction. I then bought aftermarket insurance for lost or damaged phone.
while they are not a US warranty - many still have warranties, including the Amazon sellers. Many selling from Hong Kong or UK , so you have to ship back there but are warrantied by authorized Samsung in that country. On ebay many reputable sellers have their own 1 yr warranty. Or on ebay most have squaredeals warranty for $89 ( on defects for 2 years) in the pulldown. Or through the squaredeals sits you can get a more expensive defects and accidents warranty ( w a $99 deductable).

For whatever reason, even Newegg has decided to stop selling the Galaxy Note. I get the feeling that even Amazon's shipment of 1-2 months won't be restocked.
It's like all of the affordable US sellers decided to stop importing the Note. I have a 100 GC with Amazon ....argh.
Thankfully I got mine from Amazon (Global Mobiles) a few weeks ago for $553.99 shipped overnight (had a $100 gift card). Best decision ever.

I see several sellers with the Note in stock at Amazon at 730.00 with shipping of a little over 5 bucks. Handtec is selling for £485.99 which converts to 751.53 US and that would be just for the Note.
So unless I'm missing something, get one from one of the sellers at Amazon who say they have it in stock.

Maybe I'm confused but I ordered the Note yesterday from Newegg for $699.99 and they threw in a Samsung Bluetooth headset. There were a few shops cheaper but I did not want to worry about returns or customer service for $30.
Maybe I got the last one?

But Newegg no return for Cellphone, that why I rather deal with Amazon.

Newegg also offers a protection plan on the note for an additional fee if you purchase through them. It shows up below it on the page for the note and you just add it at time of purchase.

Best Deals on Galaxy Note 10.1

I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.
I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.
So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.
I can't wait to join the community here!
Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).

I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.
Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.
@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.
Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)
Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to
£312.90
They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)
Purchased this for £12.99
Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19
Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13
This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)
For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

--- edit ---
On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

$449.00(32g) @ "Staples/Bureau En Gros" too and we had a $50.00 coupon good for 3 days (Black Friday Week-End) = $399.00
Staples in canada also has the 32gb for 449. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I got a 50 off coupon on purchases over 400 so I got the Note for 399 over the weekend.

Best deal on HD+ or wait till Black Friday

I have gone from Nook Color to Nook Tablet and now want the larger screen of the HD+. My previous devices have all been refurbs directly through the B&N ebay site and have never had a problem. It seems like most of the local stores don't seem to have the HD+ in stock any more so I'm wondering if there are going to be any good deals for a brand new unit for Black Friday. Should I just go with one of the ebay sites selling refurbs for around $115 now, or wait to see if I can get a new one during Black Friday? Does anyone know if B&N ever sells the refurbs any more or do they just have other sites doing it now? I felt a lot better getting it directly through them before.

You can do what I did- Staples lowered the 16 gig price to 129; I called them up about 3-4 time till one of their customer service reps applied a $20 off coupon manually (it technically probably shouldn't have been applied). Got my brand new 16gb for $117 including tax and shipping. Having a little trouble getting it to run as smooth as I like, but once I work all the little kinks out I believe it will be one of the best deals I've ever gotten. I wanted to try waiting till black Friday, but I figured a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Good luck!!

Staples does not have them available online and there are no staples in St. Louis (or nearby) for some stupid reason. Best Buy seems to be out of the 16GB. B&N retail stores have them, but I doubt they would price match Staples since they are not available. I just ordered some screen protectors so that when I do order one, I can stick one as soon as I open it. Hopefully the Black Friday ads start showing up so I can see if there is going to be any deals. I'm almost ready to just pull the trigger on one of the Ebay refurbs.

Ahh that sucks they dont have them anymore. Wish this thread would have been up even two days earlier, just friday I sent back a $99 refurb That I had ordered right before I had caught the staples deal.
But either way, depending on what your using it for, this can be a great tablet. Even though its a little older and not pushing as many pixels, I have found that my touchpad was running a little bit smoother than this. But I think as more builds come out, and people keep tweaking etc. this is going to be a really really solid tablet.:laugh:
Has anyone else seen any good deals on a new HD+ from a local store (B&N, Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, etc)? I'm hoping I'll be able to order one online through one of these sites on Thanksgiving day (or earlier). I won't be able to go out in all the Black Friday madness.
Only thing I would suggest is to watch those deal sites such as Bens bargains for deals or try craigslist. Good luck.

They come and go at that price. I bought one from beststopdeals for $99 ten days ago. They are higher now.
I would not expect Black Friday to feature any Nooks at fire sale prices. Black Friday specials feature second and third tier merchandise at ridiculous prices, not "pre-owned" skus that have been on clearance for months. Maybe someone (probably B&N) will be selling new units for $129 (again).
Here's how I get the best prices if I'm willing to be patient:
1) set up a search with email notification at stuffalert.com. This free site only searches *bay but you can specify the country, buying format and price, etc.
2) set up an alert at slickdeals.net. I often find very good prices at big box stores like Kmart and Walmart where I don't usually shop.
Good luck.

I'll check a couple of local OfficeMax's and see if they have any. Too bad you can't check online. I might be willing to go $129 for a new one.
Right now a local Staples is holding a Nook HD+ for $130 for me. While the local GameStop is selling off the Nexus 7 2012 version for $99. I am unsure which one to get. I talked to the Staples store and they will price match the Nexus 7 from GameStop I know this is a Nook forum but which would you recommend. I like the bigger screen, but am worried about being able to upgrade to KitKat like the Nexus products will be able to do.
I ended up buying a refurb one on Ebay for $115, it arrives tomorrow. I was just out shopping and looked around in sears and they had a new one for $129. Wish I would have stopped by there last week. Their online price shows as $149 and it also says they didn't have them at my local store. If you are interested in a new one, it might be worth stopping by your local Sears to see if they have any for $129.
I just bought a 32gb this morning from staples with a $50 off coupon and the amex $25 off $75. Came out to $115 so I'm really excited! I saw one of them on display at target and thought they look great! I was ready to get one from ebay refurbished too so am really glad I didnt. The 7 inch tablets are too small (have 1st gen kindle) and tried an Asus 10 inches that was too big so this is middle ground.

target nook hd 79 on black fri but go to your local walmart they will price match and you will not have to wait in line at target also you can buy the warranty at walmart and they will give you a gift card if it breaks not you having to send it in and them fix it. its a gift card for the full purchase price and the warranty is 2 years for 9 dollars well worth it. already had to use it once

Where did you buy the Shield Tablet?

I have scouring Gamestop, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. and most places are either out of stock or selling at premium (Amazon 3rd party seller is selling at $340+).
I have thought about ordering from Nvidia directly, but they have high shipping cost AND I am not sure if they have it in stock themselves. I mean, if they are not going to deliver in 2-3 weeks, I rather go with Best Buy because they have the same delivery timeline but I got 10% cashback.
So if you just recently bought the tablet, can you share where did you get it from?

Yeah, there are many if these scalpers in Amazon and eBay. I refuse to support these people and won't event pay them $ 0.01 over the MSRP.
Just picked mine up today at Micro Center. Their website showed the store was out of stock but when I went there they were available.
Dabs.com UK have to wait for cover due in few days
Got mine from scan.co.uk, they sell the bundle with controller, 5 metre hdmi cable & cover which I bought for £315.
This came next day, they had some stock last time I checked.

Order mine for Bestbuy.com on 8/14 to be shipped to store still have not received it .
Gamestop. They had only one in stock.
I really wish NVidia would do more to market this... they're going to become the HTC of tablets... good products, no marketing support, and therefore no market share. And when nobody's buying the products, nobody's stocking them.
Amazon did have them in stock with Prime shipping for a couple hours this morning, back to only re-seller for now.

That seller doesnt ship to the UK, Besides, in the UK 2 years of warranty is standard whereas North Americans get only one year.
I picked my one up from scan.co.uk on launch day for £240 (14th Aug). Tablet only.
It is developing cracks on the underside.

Crap!! Missed that. I wish there's a way for Amazontop alert me on this.
Shield cover seems to be out of stock both company's I use dabs and novatech are for advanced orders been waiting since the 15th and still no god dam cover that goes for my new micro SD to Grrrrrr
Amazon a few days after launch. Just received my cover from Nvidia this week.
Ordered from amazon directly at 130 am, was just messing around when I saw this. BTW you can install an extension in chrome which will email you when a certain product hits a certain price or lower. It's called camel something, not by computer right now.

Someone responded that he had tons of the tablets and reselling it online. Guess we now know why this tablet is rare. [emoji17]

Bought mine today on Nvidia since the only other one I can find is 70 miles away. It said it was in stock but I have no idea if it will ship on Monday or in a month. People on the forums said I'll probably get it in a week, but never get a shipping confirmation until after I get it... What is it with companies with green color schemes and poor shipping? (razer pulls the same **** with me and I end up getting products before I get tracking numbers).
