Item Number #566488
Price $589.99 (already knew this)
Arrives March 24th
On sale March 27th
What does this do for you? You can now call your local costco and ask them if they have that item on order. As of right now they are saying no free case in store. Yes this item number is different then online, it always is.
If you order online, does it ship from a central US warehouse? Or from a local store? I'm wondering if I can miss sales tax by ordering online.

Unless Costco doesn't have any presence in your state, you'll have to pay sales tax regardless of where it ships from. And they'll charge your tax based on your shipping address.

Ouch. Super lame. Maybe worth the wait for a free gel case I guess? lol.
UPDATE:
In store will come with the free case also.

I was at the Chino Hills, CA Costco yesterday. The guy said they have the XOOM WIFI on a pallet in back already and can't bring it out until March 27th. Not sure if he was confused with 3G version or not, but that is what I was told.

Pre-order now and it will begin shipping March 27, 2011.
Thank you for shopping costco.com. Your current order status is: Shipped.
Just picked up my Xoom from my local Costco warehouse. I got there when they opened. Nothing in the aisle display or on the actual box indicated that it would come with the free gel case, so I asked the person in merchandise pickup. They said I could open the box to see if it was inside it, and sure enough it was.
Our costco says free gel case on the sign and has price of 589. They had a large display with demo. Not many sold at our costco in NJ, maybe 4 or so at noon time.
I picked one up to try it out and see if it can do everything I need it to do.
The case is in the box under everything and is black. There is an insert that says thank you your free accessory is included.
Picked up the xoom wifi from my local costco store. Looks like they have plenty in stock and the free gel case comes with the box.
Staples also had in stock, but best buy was sold out. Wondering if best buy has fewer stock or they are selling really fast

Probably more people aware of going to BestBuy to pick it up, and fewer people who have a Costco membership who will actually want one of these.

Today Costco had 20-30 cards to take to the register.
Yesterday one Staples store said they would have 4 in stock today.
Today one Best Buy store said they got 2 for today.
Honestly, Best Buy having two is not surprising at all. Three of them around me have their Xoom 3G tucked away toward the back, whereas the iPad and everything Apple has its own kiosk. Obvious partnership much?

I haven't heard of any stores that aren't going to have it. All stores should have it. I'm getting it from Sprint cause Best Buy and the others manage to always screw up sownthing. 14 day return policy from Sprint, 30 day from Best Buy. Unsure about radioshack.

I'm gonna try to get mine from the local Walmart. If you live in CA, then Walmart is the place to get it from. I just found out that Walmart only charges tax on the sales price of the item. By CA tax laws, we are supposed to pay tax on the full retail price. Just scooped up an iPhone 5 for my wife's Bday today for $205 out the door.
From the Sprint Store, BestBuy etc it would have cost $254. They charge the $199.99 and then sales tax on the $649.99 value of the device. So thats a big savings in my book, as I saved just under $50 this way.

I'm hoping it shows up on Amazon soon. I plan to buy it outright since I'm halfway into contract and don't know how this Softbank deal is going to play out. I'll keep my options open for any future shenanigans....
CA sucks with all those taxes. So glad l live on the border of NH. Live free or die, no sales or state taxes!!!

I live in Brentwood...Far East Bay. lol
But all Walmarts around do this. I found out a few months ago, when my Mom wanted to get my Pops an upgrade from his iPhone 3Gs. She asked if she had to get it from AT&T and I told her that they can do it at any authorized AT&T reseller. So they were in the local Walmart and my Pops upgraded to an iPhone 4.
My Mom called me later, since she was confused about the price she was charged. She said she was only charged Tax on the SALE price of the phone, not full RETAIL tax. So I googled it and found lots of others said the same thing. So I was pretty stoked to find this out, since that more than wipes out the $36 Activation Charge Fee. You still come out ahead this way, as I would have paid $253, plus $36 activation on my bill. I ended up paying $205, plus $36 activation fee.
I called 5 Walmarts in our county and no one had any iPhone 5's. So I called Tracy Walmart, which is only 30mins from me. He had one iPhone 5 in stock and they charge $189.99 for it, so off we went. The guy was really cool and into Android and we started chatting about the Note 2 during the activation process. He said he was waiting on it (AT&T) and was juiced. He said to give him a call and check back next week, to see if he has em in stock.
PS - They had a Note 1 on display with the other models. So I gotta assume they will also get the Note 2.

Called the Walmart in Mountain View and confirmed that they charge tax on the sale price. Now, can anyone tell me if Walmart will get the Note 2 when it comes out on Thursday??

I'm doing Bestbuy. Price match/ return/ exchange within 60 days for me. I get points for purchases as well.
I don't like buying at non-Sprint stores because they tend to screw things up. Happened when I got my EVO 4G from radioshack. Never happened to me at Best Buy cause I worked there and made sure it was done right. That's just me though.

I have that rewards program too. But BB charges full retail tax and they
also inflate their retail prices, so taxes are even higher for CA.

Any Californian have any success getting around the tax?

I'm located in BC, Canada. Does anyone have experience to buying google devices on play.google.com?
Those of you in Canada, did you have to pay tax? Or is it $309 outright?
One more question, can we preorder the phone or do we have to wait til Nov 13 to buy the phone online?
Thanks~!
I'm sure there will be taxes collected somehow... as for when we order I'm not sure. Hoping earlier then the 13 so we get it on that day. So in other words a pre-order.

When you place your order it will be from Google Canada Corp. You will be charged HST and shipping. There are no pre-orders.
Thanks for the promptly replies! I think I'll buy it in stores to save on the shipping. How soon do you think Futureshop or Bestbuy will start selling the N4? Right on the 13th?
Thanks~!
Doubt it. Maybe 2-7 days after. There hasn't been any leaked info about anyone carrying it in stores in Canada yet. Same with carriers. The only carrier that I have seen that has any info on if they will be carrying it is tmobile. That's it.
I could be wrong tho.

For profit. They know people will pay $20 or 30 more because they won't buy it online. You might be able to price match it if your lucky.

Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.
Well hopefully it won't be too expensive... When I got the nexus 7 from best buy when it first came out, they charged the same as play store (259 CAD).
$403.20 after tax

btw, anybody here on wind/mobilicity?
As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

Are you talking about the nexus 4 specifically or (smartphones) in general? If in general I doubt they'll be able to get that much of a discount, especially off the 8gb version.

I didn't make any profit from selling my S3 ;'(
UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.
After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:
All prices include VAT.
All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.
So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?
Source: https://play.google.com/intl/en_uk/about/device-terms.html
Im not sure when this thread belongs, so I will just throw it in the G2 help forum.
Im will be flying to Manhattan and looking to buy the device once I get there. I want to step into a store and buy the device, however the prices are much higher tha Amazon. For example, I saw a 90$ price difference between Amazon and Best Buy.
Can anyone tip me on where can I buy the device in Manhattan, but in Amazon prices?
Thanks a lot in advance
I bought mine on eBay for 300, it would likely be more expensive in stores. And knowing NY you have to consider the sales tax...Anyway you can find it at T-Mobile, AT& T, Best buy, Verizon, etc.

Peoples want it instantly and don't want to wait for shipping, rush shipping typically boosts the price to similar levels, also returning an online item is more of a hassle.
As far as I know Amazon usually charges taxes for all or most items in New York. Before it was dependant on where the seller was shipping from but Amazon is large enough that it would bring governmental and legal oversight if they didn't charge tax.
I'd honestly just purchase it from an official Att and Verizon store just to avoid any future trouble or warranty issues. A lot of the g2's on Amazon are the unlocked international version.

If you buy from Amazon you'll get the Amazon price, but NY has sales tax, so that will increase the price (And any shipping costs if you don't use Prime).

I agree. And did the same.
$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.

17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.
My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.

I pre-ordered thru best buy. They are going to give me $200 for my Nexus S 4G!!! (It normally only would get $14.00 trade in) I also signed up last year for a $50 discount on my next phone at best buy. So if the honor amazon at $299, after $200 trade in and my additional $50 discount. I'll be paying $49.99 total with contract which I already paid into a gift card to pre-order it.

(It normally only would get $14.00 trade in) I also signed up last year for a $50 discount on my next phone at best buy. So if the honor amazon at $299, after $200 trade in and my additional $50 discount. I'll be paying $49.99 total with contract which I already paid into a gift card to pre-order it.

Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.
hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299
Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.

I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.
I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:
Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:
The online prices of retailers not listed
Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer
put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in .
While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.
I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?
sprint pre-order
I just pre-ordered the Note 4 from Sprint....$329 total....can't wait !!!!!!!!

It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.
