Preorder or pick up on release day? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pre-ordered iPhone5 from ATT before, but it arrived much later than simply picking it up in store. What should we do for S4? Any suggestion?

If you preorder in a store im sure you can pick it up there too.

I pre-ordered today. Preorders are available a week ahead of general sales. Can' t wait. I ordered black.

Yeah, some other dude also said he got his from Staples. I wonder if I can cancel my order and save on the shipping.

Yeah I read that too. Kinda pissed that some could just walk into staples and pick one up while I'm still sitting here with my staples preorder with no indicative date for shipment.

Just picked the last one up from Canada computers in Hamilton. It's black instead of the brown that some people may have received. the guy working there said that they're getting more stock on Monday so you may be able to pick one up if you go into the store tomorrow. Ncix also should have orders for in store pickups starting Monday.

ordered 1 8GB and 1 16GB on June 27th from the google play store for a total of $544
CC not charged at the moment for this receipt from google, no emails since in regards to shipment or order
I've called around to many retailers and most are either unaware or not stocking the product, while only a handful are getting in shipments on Monday.
Not sure if its worth the hassle of buying a N7 in store on Monday and dealing with google to ship back one of the 2 that I ordered or if I should just wait, I feel frustrated that I went right to the source to place a pre-order for a product but retailers are selling it before I get any notice on when I'll get mine.. then I remember I live in a first world country and there are bigger injustices taking place around the globe.
Later I'll go have sex with my supermodel girlfriend on my yacht.
I placed my order on the 28th and have heard nothing. I'm a little bit peeved that stores are selling it before the preorders have gone out, but I suppose I'll live. I really hope I get that email on Monday telling me it's shipped.

Who cares if retailers are selling them early?

Costco sale

Costco has their price for the US Galaxy Note 10.1 for $479.99 but with no coupon needed, get it for $439.99 from Jan 31-Feb24. Good deal.
Can you buy online or do you have to be a member?

You can buy online but, obviously, must be a member. It is a membership warehouse and online business.
It also comes with a free case.
White only, no deep grey, at least at my local Costco.

I got my Note 10.1 from Costco 4 days ago! I couldn't wait another week and it was sold out everywhere so I'm happy even thought I didn't got the $40 disfount.
The one by me has the 16gb white.
Online they have the 32gb gray for 549.99
Went to my Costco today and saw the rebate had been upped to $50. This was in Eureka, Calif., so YMMV.
Picked one up today in Wyoming, MI for $458.79 (on sale for $429.99 with instant rebate). I think it's a great deal! I've been looking online for one and lowest I'd found was around $490 (new).
Great tab! I'll be hanging around here more now.
Anybody ever have any luck getting Costco to refund the difference due to the price drop? I paid $479 at a Costco on Dec. 28, and I am well within the 90 day return policy. I would like to avoid attempting to return it (partly because I've dropped it once and now have some scratches on it).

Oh that does suck. I'm sure your discount would've been more than $40 off.
Bought mine in Socal on Sunday for 429.99. I originally wanted the 32 gb but thought this deal was too good to pass up!
I wish they'd do this in the UK stores

Anyone else in the US order from the UK?

I got mine from Handtec.
How much? Did you have to pay tax?

Also if I remember correctly it might take up to additional two weeks to get because of customs. So its better just to wait and get the correct phone

Um, so you don't have to waste your time in a store? The last phone we got in store took over an hour to get out of there. I don't care if my pre-order takes a week longer, it's better than driving to a store and wasting time.

I'm looking forward to getting it, but it's certainly not worth over an hour of my life just to get it a little early.
I can't wait to get my hands on the GN III. I been hearing all kinds of release dates up until today that I've gotten confirmation that the phone will be available on the 4th Too eager to have it. Even coming from a GN II. it's well worth it. Lets just hope some AT&T stores can get their hands on it sooner, but if not, the 4th isn't too far away.

Verizon Wireless In Store Release Date?

In another thread I was seeing people complaining about preordering the Note 3 from Verizon since they aren't getting the phone any earlier than if they just went into a store to pick it up.
I've yet to see any information about when the phone will be in stores. When I spoke with someone at Verizon they said it wouldn't be available in store until late October. Did I miss something, or are people just assuming it will be in stores on the 10th because that's when preorders are supposed to ship by?
Thanks!
Verizon employees and online CSR's told me they will be available in store on 10/10.

Has there been any official word from Verizon though? Verizon employees don't always have the most accurate information. I think I knew when the Galaxy Nexus would release before anyone at my store..
I just called Verizon, they say they don't know when it will be for sale but I called bestbuy and they said the 4th. Guess we will just wait and see. I live in Memphis,Tn.

On one occasion I was told (matter of factly) the 10th ...
On others I was told no exact date was given as of yet, but the in store release typically coincides around the preorder ship date, which we know is the 10th. So, I think it's safe to assume that the 10th is the day

I was in my local Verizon wireless store today and the gentleman who helped me pre-order said it's shipping date is the 10th. If they come early then he said he would call and let me know. Here's to hoping the rumors of the 4th release date being true.

If you look at the bestbuy wesite it looks as though the Verizon version is available now in store only. I will definitely be checking this out at 10am when they open. If they do have then in stock I will let you guys know.
