Has anyone received their Lapdock from Motorola?

Has anyone that ordered from the Moto Store received their lapdock? I've called numerous times to Motorola Store to place an order and they keep telling me that either its not available or that they don't sell it without the phone. Those people are EXTREMELY rude.

i paid for my laptop dock on Wednesday last week, paid for overnight shipping. Still hasn't shipped. Price has dropped $50 since my order was placed. I emailed them and called them 3 times asking when it would ship or if I could at least get a $50 partial refund. Really ticking me off.

Yep. Exactly as I expected. This is gonna go bad fast. :/

mine is shipping today, arrives tomorrow.

What's really interesting is the fact that it went up back to $399 earlier today and if you check now, it's back up to $499. I placed my order last Weds as well and still am waiting for a tracking number.

Damn it. I was thinking about ordering for $369, but for $499... that is just too expensive.
Still gonna wait for the price to drop again, no point wasting money on something that is going to go down in price anyway as nobody buys it

when I went to the ATT store on the 13th to preorder my phone, the guy screwed up and pre-ordered the laptop dock instead. I didn't notice this until the 18th. i then went back up there to order the phone correctly. I couldn't cancel the laptop order because it went for packaging/shipping that day.
Anyway, long story short, I got both the laptop and phone on the 21st. Played with laptop for all of 5 minutes and immediately returned to my local ATT store. It's a $500 web browser. A slow & laggy one at that. Just my opinion.

Has anyone received a tracking number from Motorola? I keep getting the run around from them on my order placed last week... Not happy.

OT:
I've had the laptop dock since tuesday of last week... IMO if you get the package deal it's a SICK deal, I haven't picked up my $1000 Laptop ONCE since I got this thing... and I don't even have citrix at work.
I'm using logmein and it's SICK.
With the MIR it's 200 for the phone 200 for the dock... that's an awesome deal imo.
No idea on direct orders from Moto.

1.2.3.gone
The lapdock has disappeared from Moto's online store. Strange.

A supervisor told me they were flooded with orders and shipping has been delayed... I find that hard to believe but this is not cool.

Order Status -- Back Ordered!!

So I go to check my order status at BB to see if it shipped late yesterday or last night and it says "Status - Back Ordered".
WTF!!!
Maybe I should just tell Sammy to go pound sand! I already have some concerns about them and their promises.

My order now says "Being fulfilled. Usually ships in 1-2 days."
Dang it - I was hoping to cancel and run down to BB store and look for stock.
Oh well.

I guess that's the good news, I can run down to the store and check. Or at least call first thing this am.

lucky i have one close to my job that has them available. taking an early lunch to pick it up.

I pre-ordered mine earlier this past weekend. BestBuy claimed they weren't going to ship them until today. So I canceled my order. Went online last night & purchased it for in store pickup. Got an Email about 30 minutes ago saying that my order is ready for pickup. Can't wait to the store opens so I can go grab it!

Just looked and tried to do that and all stores within 50 miles of me here in SE FL say unavailable. I already cancelled my order also, oh well.

Turns out, if you just call up Customer support and ask nicely, they'll transfer your order to an in-store pickup location, and get priority over people who just ordered it last night/this morning.
Now thats customer service.

Interesting enough, when I call the local stores they have the 16G White version. Guess Samsung made lots of those.

Once the status says "Processing" customer service can't do anything. I tried this morning to have them transfer my order to a local store.
Good news is that I just got a confirmation e-mail that it just shipped, but now I have to wait for it to arrive instead of grabbing it from the store.

Thanks to substandard customer service, BB has lost my business. I called another store who also did not have the 32G version in stock but did notify me that they are showing the warehouse has units available if I wanted to do a store pickup. So I asked how could they have it in the warehouse and I get a back ordered status? The store customer service rep stated I should call the 888 number to find out. I did that and was abruptly told that the .com warehouse was different and they are obviously out of stock. So I tried to rationalize with her that why would BB take preorders and then not allocate units that they obviously have available. She states that "Sir I just told you that the .com uses a different warehouse". So I (with some sarcasm at this point) ask her if it is the same company. Well at no time did she offer to find one locally or go ahead and have one shipped to my local store and when I finally asked her if she could do that for me, I said never mind if I have to ask you to do that for me then I will just purchase from another business who values customer service. I assure you that at no time was I rude and only got sarcastic at the end of the conversation.
c'est la vie

For me....Only Best Buy stores that have them are way too far away. Local ones don't have them and unknown when either, so its the luck of the draw as to where Samsung ships to and how many to even bother driving for one just to be disappointed in selling out.
I would just a rather order online instead

I couldn't find any BB stores in the state of Massachusetts that had the 32gb version, so I went online.
Circuit City claims to have an order today/ship today policy on the 32gb version. I went ahead a tried it - we'll see. I did it from their website, not from Amazon, and had to call them to ask them to process the order now.
I didn't know circuit city even existed anymore.

Bummer about the horror stories. Not to make you feel bad, but I strolled into my local Best Buy about 15 minutes after opening today. No pre-order, no deposit, no nothing. Walked out with the 32GB Grey ... and they didn't charge me sales tax! That's a 9.75% (~$60) bonus!

Good to hear someone had a good experience. I don't feel bad just a little jealous I guess. I'm actually thinking about just getting the Iconia instead. I have had the xoom and transformer but returned them both. The xoom for a charging issue and I just never liked the feel of the transformer, maybe just a little to wide and I have larger than avg hands.

I suffered from the same back-order issue. I pre-ordered one for my wife when I first got the e-mail from Samsung on 6/6/2011. Now you would think with my last name being at the beginning of the alphabet and my order being placed so early that I would be a shoe-in to receive one.
WRONG! I didn't receive an e-mail or anything. I'm a Silver Rewards member because of my continued customer loyalty...yet you can't even let me know what's going on before hand so I can order elsewhere.
I called 3 stores, checked online, did a online chat with Best Buy employee Brenda, and then talked to 4 different people through customer support. I heard different answers each time but the same result. "It shows as back-ordered but that it will ship in 1-2 business days." From the stores I heard "We haven't received our shipments yet but the ones we're getting are for pre-orders." The last statement was obviously a lie because ship-to-store has not been an option for any of the local 10 Best Buy stores.
How does any of this make sense? Yes I could come up with some patchwork logic to calm myself but at the end of the day, it's horrible customer service. I was respectful to each person I talked to. I didn't even complain. I went online to cancel my order and then called back to make sure it was done.

I'll keep it real simple. Worked for Best Buy for roughly 2 1/2 years during my younger days. During high school and then when I was in college in Tucson.
I hate Best Buy. From their "non-commission" approach they have the sales associates present shoppers with to their TERRIBLE phone customer service, the place is nothing but horrible experiences. I have a Rewards Silver account with them as well. I've spent way too much money to care to calculate with them and they continue to suck. I've shifted my purchasing from Best Buy to Amazon and am now a Prime Member with them (have been for over a year).
To stay on point with the OP, I went to Best Buy on Camelback in Phoenix this morning to see if they had any in stock. The PCHO (PC / Home Office) and Mobile Phone in store reps both told me they didn't get any in nor did the rest of the state of AZ. The only way I could get a Galaxy Tab was through Best Buy.com. This was after roaming around both departments for 10-15 minutes waiting for a sales rep to approach me (or even see one that I could approach for help). All immediately after the store had opened. Non-knowledgable, unwilling to help anyone sales reps and terrible supervisor / management that could give two craps less about your experience and care about nothing other than you buying a Geek Squad extended service plans and taking advantage of their financing offers.
I'm not buying a Galaxy Tab at all now nor am I, for any reason, shopping at Best Buy any longer (not like it's a huge deal... their stores have been dwindling in the number of shoppers for the past two years).

At first thought it's nice to see that I am not alone, but it really is kinda of sad. I do hear lots of great things about Amazon and have purchased a couple of times through them, but i am still a little weary about online purchases. Not really rational since Amazon does in all regards appear to be very safe and easy even with respect to returns. So who knows maybe it is Amazon here I come!

Prime Membership is totally worth it if you shop on Amazon frequently. I do ALL of my Christmas shopping each year with them, never any hiccups. As a Prime member, you get FREE Two Day shipping on almost everything you buy along with no tax. It destroys whatever Best Buy offers these days. On new videogame releases, they are not only typically $5-10 cheaper, there is no tax and it arrives on the same day of release at my front door.

My apologies for the misleading title!

Looks too good to be true...
where are you located.. That company is only 600 miles or so from me maybe less. I will give them a call if they still have them mid week..
thanks for the link..

Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*

Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..
again Thanks

Thats a steel of a deal right there

Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

Oh yeah i'm not a BB fan either except for test runs! It's awesome to have everything you can get online for half as much right at your fingertips for pre-purchase testing!

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...
~Much love to the community.

Just ordered one for a friend. Total with plain ole ground shipping, $244.99! Thanks for the heads up.

thats a steal!!!

Great find! This is cheaper than I've been buying them off of Craig's List!

I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.

very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited

I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.

My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Got my Acer Iconia a500 from the woot website. I bought a 32gb refurbished a500 with wifi (standard with 90 day Acer warranty) and I received it in about a week and a half. It cost me 300 plus 5 dollars shipping and it has been working great so far. Love the forums by the way, very helpful (first time poster here).

Get Nexus 7 (2013) Canadian's on PRICEMATCH!

Hey guys, So I went to bestbuy to look around to see whether or not the Nexus 7 32GB is available in stock anywhere since it was listed on their website, unfortunately it wasn't available there but I did own a 16GB Nexus 2013. I got it for 249.99 + TAX it was around $285.
Today I saw on the Google-Play store that they have both models in stock and its for the same price as it is in the USA and its with free shipping! (Even if its for a limited time only, still a great deal!). So I returned my previous owned Nexus 7 from bestbuy and went to future shop and got myself a price match and got it for the same price of 229.98 and it totaled up to $261. I saved up to $24 which I can use to buy a case, screen pro, etc.
So people who are looking to buy one right away, you can just go price match it until the free shipping is available and get yourself a Nexus 7 (2013) for its actual regular price!
Good-Luck shopping!

Hello, i tried it today for my 32 gb version which i got from memory express and they bluntly told me they dont price match google because its not an Canadian company. And they shooed me off. I was really dissapointed and sad and couldn't offer any proof which would help me prove that google is shipping from canada itself. Do you have any idea what i should do next ? i could really use some 10 or 15 dollars to buy a new case too.
Thank tiy

I got mine price matched at BB today, no hassles & no questions asked.
For ME, if you do add a device to cart, and click on their Devices Term of Sales, the first line says the principal place of business is in Toronto. Hopefully that will convince ME that it's being shipped from a "canadian company"
These Google Play Terms of Sale for Devices and any other terms referred to in these terms, such as terms provided in the Return Policy and Warranty Center ("Terms"), apply between you and Google Canada Corp., a Canadian corporation whose principal place of business is at 10 Dundas Street East, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2G9 (referred to as "Google" or "we"), when you purchase devices and/or accessories from the Google Play store ("Device").

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I'll try to go back as quick as possible and hopefully they'll give me price match. I am a college student who has to change two buses and waste 2 hours to commute back and forth from that warehouse. I hope they wont give me any more hard time regarding this.

Yes i probably can return the product to them if they give me more hard time. But i did get a good piece. o dead pixels and even gps seems alright and so is the mutitouch. Did notice some backlight bleeding but when i compared it too other nexus 7 tablets they had same problems too. So yes, if they dont price match within these 2 or 3 days i might just return it and end up ordering from google itself

Sorry for the late reply, the future shop dude asked me the same question and I told him that if it says that the price is in CA 229.98 it means its obviously coming from Canada. If they still give you a hard time, tell them to add a Nexus 7 to cart on the website and you will see before checking out that the payment is being sent to Google Canada
If anything you can return your old one and get the new one from some other shop that won't give you a hard time.
I hope you get the money bro!

I just bought mine last night at Future Shop in F'ton and had no issue. The sales guy logged into google play and checked their site exactly like you just stated and I got my 7 for a sweet deal
My momma always told me...never pay full price for anything! Great advice!!

Just price-matched mine at Staples. Bought it last week. No fuss.

Hey guys, So I went to bestbuy to look around to see whether or not the Nexus 7 32GB is available in stock anywhere since it was listed on their website, unfortunately it wasn't available there but I did own a 16GB Nexus 2013. I got it for 249.99 + TAX it was around $285.
Today I saw on the Google-Play store that they have both models in stock and its for the same price as it is in the USA and its with free shipping! (Even if its for a limited time only, still a great deal!). So I returned my previous owned Nexus 7 from bestbuy and went to future shop and got myself a price match and got it for the same price of 229.98 and it totaled up to $261. I saved up to $24 which I can use to buy a case, screen pro, etc.
So people who are looking to buy one right away, you can just go price match it until the free shipping is available and get yourself a Nexus 7 (2013) for its actual regular price!
Good-Luck shopping!

thank you so much for the advice everyone ! based on the information you guys provided I wrote an email to the manager of memory express expressing how disappointed I was from this incident and also gave him links to the terms of conditions of Google play . and today morning he replied the mail saying he is sorry for the bad experience I had and that he will refund my money and all I need to is come to the store. so I did go to store today and again the customer service rep tried to be a smartass and started talking about import fees when the manager intervened and asked him to quietly price match and refund me the money since he checked everything out. so I got the price beat and the total came out to be 305 instead of the previous 319 . that's enough for a case and screen protectors from eBay .I'm so happy I came across this thread . thank you so much !!

Nice! Glad it worked out!

Office Max deals

If you have a store nearby and they have the device, you can get 20% off until 1/11/2014. The online coupon details indicate only "select" tablets so not sure about the N7 with online purchase, but store purchase has no such disclaimer and includes tablets and eReaders on the coupon.

Thanks for this. Just a heads-up, I caught this deal last night, then called Best Buy to get a price match. They ended up doing so, and giving me the White version of the 32GB (which they're recently started to stock) for a total of $234 shipped, which is retail minus 20% plus local sales tax. Can't ask for much better a deal than that!

When I called best buy, the rep asked for the price match and was told no by whomever stating they don't price match coupons?! So I will be returning the first one I bought from them (had a dead pixel and dust under the screen) and buy from officemax. Their loss.

That's a bummer. When I spoke with the BB rep, they had to do some verification behind the scenes. I was surprised they matched it for me because I was requesting the white model but price matching it to Office Max's black model (they don't have white). Nonetheless, OMX was sold out online, and but had the option of buying online for in-store pickup. So as soon as the BB rep could get a hold of the store to verify the price, they OK'ed it. You're right, I suppose it's their loss. They'd still make plenty of margin on the sale, even with the 20% off.
To be honest, I'd say you call back and try it again while the sale is still on. I've read OMX is ending the sale soon, and best buy should ultimately honor the price. I think the turning point for me was when I showed then that you can add it to your cart online and have the out-the-door price show up as the 20% off. Anyway, best of luck to you.

The rep actually felt bad about it stating he should have done it after checking the site himself because it was taking so long to get a response from whoever does the price checks. Also, since the one I bought three days ago in store from them had defects, he said he maybe should have told them that too since he said they don't like to do price matches. He did see it was sold out online but I told him that it was available for pickup in store, from both retailers (apparently, best buy was showing out of stock on his side, but I was able to add it to my cart). I just would have preferred to order from best buy. Didn't even think about getting them to call a store. Went ahead and ordered from office max

I see. Sorry you had a poor experience with the previous purchase, but at least you were able to get the deal. I agree, though, on purchasing from BB. I dont necessarily prefer BB for all purchases in general, but in this case, I'd definitely prefer them over OMX.

I picked up a new Nexus 7 this past weekend. Thanks OP for the info on the Office Max discount. The closest Office Max to me is 65 miles away; however I got my local Best Buy to price match the 20% discount. I spent a week debating whether or not to buy the 16gb or the 32gb model. Ended up getting the 32gb that I wanted for the price of the 16gb! Total was $228 with tax.
