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.

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 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.
Staples is sold out but you might still get the coupon for future use
Been looking around and not sure if this is the BEST deal but this is the best I could find.
First get this Staples coupon: (you pay $7.5 for $15 gift card)
$7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card
Then Staples hasthe pre-order for the 16GB version with free shipping:
Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)
Once you add the order into the cart, you'll see it says expected delivery is 7/12-17. You can apply the gift card at the checkout for a net of $7.5 saving.
Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.
Additional note: I found the coupon through bigcrumbs.com For those who doesn't know about this site, it's the 100% legit cash back site supports tons of vendor online. Below are the available cash back it offers for the vendors that sells Nexus 7:
Office Depot - up to 4.2% you can use following free item coupon (not sure if you can combine them all)
336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit
823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies
156437297 - Free Mystery Gift
595897257 - $15 Gas card
Adorama - up to 2.8%
GameStop - up to 3.5%
Walmart - up to 2.8% cashback (crrently pre-order only)
MacMall - up to 2.8% cashback
If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.
Again, if you want to get cash back, you must sign up with bigcrumbs.com and find vendor in the site and go through its own links.

I am not associated with bigcrumbs but thought online shoppers might benefit from this place.
Edit:
Just found out bigcrumbs also have 2.8 cashback from Adorama.com which also has the nexus 7 for pre-order.

Just remember that if you have a Staples in your state you have to pay taxes.
This deal would still cost me about 270$
yea tax is the big killer.. but at least free shipping. too bad I missed out on the J&R deal someone else posted.
Staples' expected delivery date is interesting. Not sure if this implies delivery for all pre-orders or this is for Staples only.
Cool find, i would be buying a Nexus 7 since i no longer want android phones
We're so spoiled in Oregon, no Sales Tax and it's against the law for us to pump our own gas, we have to sit and let the attendants do it for us.
Thanks for the finds!
You really could have mentioned that it takes them 24 hours to generate the coupon code and it's not an instant ordeal.

Nexus 7 for a flat $249.00 no taxes in my case.
MacMall has it to pre order for a flat $249.00 for the 16gig http://www.macmall.com/ I've ordered a lot of things from them and never had a problem thus for.
Using my last yearly associate computer related hardware discount on this and just got a $27 gift card from a warranty on a hard drive that's still good...
Hope to walk out the door spending $200 or less

bigcrumbs offers 2.8 cash back on MacMall as well.
Apparently, Office Depot shows these in stock with free shipping.
updated some additional cashback for the places that sells Nexus 7, in US only.

Anyone pre-ordered Nexus 7 from Staples.com ?
I am seeing this in my order status.
We're sorry, but problems with your order may prevent us from delivering it on time.
That is probably because Google told everyone to wait until they said so

this last minute hold is messing up those vendor's check out process. The word is most places will start taking new per-order and shipping again next week.
Updated some free item coupon on 1st page you can use on your office depot order.
walmart is starting the pre-order as well with less than $1 shipping. see 1st post for details.
For those asking if you still get the $25 google wallet credit the answer is YES :good:
Staples is now taking orders on the website with 2 day delivery, you can also locate stores that have it in stock, but call the store first as the store I tried today said they weren't allowed to sell until next week (probably Monday) even though they have them in stock.
If "you" work for Walmart you can get 10% off, and you can pay when pickup at Walmart now s mabey preorder and pay when pickup at site to store

well i guess amazon will not ever sell the nexus 7 unless google contacts them and tell them they want to sell their tablets through amazon, of course google (and apple) would never do that. 3rd party sellers are selling the 16 gig version for about $300, i thought that's crazy but i remember i have to pay tax and shipping if i buy from google play store, i live in california, anyone live in CA bought this tablet from google play store? what was the total cost including tax and shipping? do they have free shipping?
the reason i want to buy on amazon is because i have some money in my gift card balance, this seems like a good tablet to buy,
I live in CA and tax and shipping brought it to $287.

I dare say you're better off buying it locally or directly from Google. At least for me it gives me some peace of mind.

Buy locally. You will avoid the shipping costs. You can buy online from Walmart, Office Depot/Max, or Staples & "ship site to store" & avoid shipping too. Also, when you buy locally, if there is a problem with the screen, you can return/exchange immediately.

ouch.. In MA it only cost me $278.
@OP, I too was hoping Amazon would be a reseller because I also have available amazon giftcards.. but the 3rd party sellers just wanted too much.
Hello!
Gonna buy this phone via a friend of mine in Santa Barbara. I wonder if someone could give me a total price plan with shipping and tax included so i know how much i need to give him.
Thanks
Google search the California sales tax, add whatever that amount would be to the total of the device you want, and then at $10 for the estimated max shipping cost. Done.
$350 + %7.75 + ~$10 shipping.
If the shipping cost is the same as when I ordered my GN, here's the breakdown:
Phone - $349.00
Shipping - $10.50
Tax - $27.05 ( 7.75% )
Total - $386.55
Okey, thanks for the help was planning to buy the 8gb since i dont realy need the storage, but the price for the phone pluss shipping and 7,75 tax.Thanks

Head to WWW.microcenter.com. they have the 32gb on sale for $199 right now.
Nice! Was just going to order one from Amazon today. Thanks for the heads up.

Just a quick heads up.... I picked mine up, today, from Staples. I printed the sale page from Microcenter (which is an hour away, in the city) and they matched it for me!
I saw this on Slickdeals. Not only was I able to call Staples and have them price match the 32GB to $200. I then used the $30 off coupon code they have to take it down to $170. I'm talking about $183 and change out the door for the 32GB! Great deal.

Same in France at Micromania, 209.99€ the 32gb wifi tablet.
Nice!! Glad some of you took advantage of the opportunity to save money!! $200 for the nexus 7 FHD 32GB is a great deal. I wouldn't have passed up on it if I didn't already have a Nexus 7.
My 32GB just arrived today! Looks like I'll be jumping back and forth now between these forums and the Nexus 5 forums. Can finally put my HP TouchPad to rest, although it has served me well running CM10.1.
Great deal

I got the same deal also from Staples back in November. You can't beat it.

Those of you that got the deal of price match and then $30 off at staples are lucky because according to the Staples price match they were suppose to deduct the $30 from the $269 price and then price match. Here is their policy on that, taken from their web site.
If you buy an item from us for $159 and you have a $30 coupon, the net price is $129. If another company’s price is $125, your price match would be $4 off our net price of $129. Dollars-off coupons will be proportionally deducted from the prices of items in your order.
