$164.99 Pricing Error?

It sounds like that $164.99 upgrade pricing that was offered yesterday online to T-mobile customers might have been a mistake.
I was able to order the phone, and it shows that it's still processing in the order status.
Who else took advantage of the deal, and if so, has your order cleared?
I'm curious to see if T-mobile will honor this pricing if it really was a mistake.

Yep
I got mine for $164.99 and it says pending shipping, ETA Jul. 22nd (UPS Ground). The $75 downpayment is pending in my bank account.
If they try to renege on it, I'm done. As soon as my contract is up in 4 months, I'll be gone.

Yeah, I see the payment pending in my bank account as well. It does seem odd, since I technically wasn't eligible for fully discounted upgrade pricing for another few weeks.
I've been with T-mobile for 7 years with no issues so I'm on the fence about leaving if they don't honor the pricing. I'm sure they would offer the discounted rate of $199 - which is still very reasonable - if that $164 really is a mistake.
You can get the same phone on other carriers, but in the end you will pay the same $199 (or more with activation fees with a new provider).

Mine shipped. I already have tracking number. I can't see how they can charge more than confirmed. I have a printed order page. Actually, I went through Bing so I intend to insist on an additional 35% Bing cash back.

walmart has it for $99. including car adaptor.

Mine has shipped as well... I did the pay $64 up front and then add $33 to my bill for 3 months... They better not try to charge me more... thats actually why I bought it.. I didn't think i was eligable for an upgrade, but I decided to check anyways to see if Im able to get it for $199, then when I saw $164 I instantly purchased... maybe that was their plan!

went to a tmobile store and told them about the costco ad, they pricematched it for 99.99, no rebates, came out to 106 with tax

Rather upset, I didnt order online for the 164, I went into the store and it was 269. I'm only 2 months from the 199 upgrade price. They did the same **** when I bought the G1, overpriced me in the store.
I'm looking at filing some complaints against them with the BB and DA for price switching.
I have the print out of 169 to give to the Seattle DA for price switching.

You understand that you can still return the phone for a full refund. Right?

IW, I'm not supposed to call out people on these forums.. but re-read everything you are saying and use logic.

I dont see how this is any different if I go online and see 39.99 for an oil change, I go in and they charge me 59.99 because their computer says its 59.99. Thats wrong, and some states illegal.

No, its completely different. Maybe if you actually ordered online, you could draw that comparison. But the fact that they didn't give you full upgrade pricing when you aren't even eligible isn't dishonest at all.

The 165 pricing is still on their site? If it was a mistake I assume they would of fixed by now.

It's still there,164.99 .i just ordered another one for my wife.
Also, were only halfway through our 2 year contract.I don't get it,but hey thanks tmo!

Putting fairness and legality aside, it's pretty amazing how the story changes from customer to customer, as well as CSR to CSR. Whether or not it's right, it certainly has a car dealership feel to it.
I did, though, just get a text message saying my order will ship within the next seven days, so I guess I'm safe.

where do you people get this ? it was 199 yesterday and its 199 now.....

Funny thing is that for my family plan and another friend of mine it was $ 499 on the site. My friend hasn't upgraded in 4 years.

same on my 2nd tmo account, just checked.......$199 on one and $499 on another........dont see anywhere 164

Well I just recieved a text message with a tracking number and checking the tracking number USP says they've had it since 8:30 last night and will Already moved it to Nashville and will deliever it on Monday...
So I can't see in any way how T-Mobile would change the price on me now...

I got mine from tmobiles website for $164.99 as well and I'm only at 18 months out of 24. I went to a local store to play with the phone and told the sales person about the online price. She told me to go home and order it online since the best she could do for me in the store was $289. I got a text this morning with a tracking number.
I had read a rumor somewhere that the additional $35 discount was for original G1 owners. I have no idea if there is any truth to that, but my wife has a G1 and I had a G1 and have a MT3G and we both got the $164.99 upgrade price.

Best Buy and Pricematching

I had to upgrade to my Evo before the April 1 deadline because of the Premier Program changes and I was able to jump in the best buy buyback program for free. And since I don't think I am the only one around here I was wondering.
When I look at what the retail price for phones on bb.com compared to sprint's retail prices, bestbuy is almost $100-200 more. (e.g. sprint Evo $450/ BB Evo $600) Has anyone tried to get them to pricematch sprint when buying a phone at retail price? If you go to bestbuy's pricematch policy the first FAQ is
"What is considered a local retail competitor? "
and the answer is ....
"A retail store located in the same market area as your local Best Buy store."
The reason I ask is this. On the same web page there is a link for a New York Price Match Class Action lawsuit about a similar situation where an individual bought a camera from Best Buy then found the same camera at a "local" camera retail shop for less, and BB wouldn't price match it. And this individual won. (Reference the Decision and Order Document. The conclusion is on the bottom of page 31)
Note : There is more to the story, but this is what started the wheel turning in the lawsuit. I recommend reading that specific document thoroughly so you can see how scandalous retail can be.
I can understand not matching contract prices, although in the past they have for me. But in this case we are talking "retail" price. I have up til August to get 50% for my Evo ($300) and I was thinking for future sake how i would attack the upgrade. I could either do an ETF (about $180) and lose my mobile #, but pay contract price ,or I could just cash in the Evo for the program and buy phone at retail.
Has anyone had any experience with this situation with BB?

I'm not sure why you'd want to sell your phone to best buy when you can get more for it on here, craigslist, or ebay. There is a reason they want to buy it back from you at that price.

I had to purchase my Evo at full retail price and i looked into this too. I was inclined to purchase it at Best Buy because they actually had it in stock where as the sprint stores near me put me on a waiting list (this was during the 2 week wait list stuff)
I hoped to price match because i knew people there from working there 3 years beforehand
They wouldn't price match for me either
I ended up getting my Evo at Radioshack after walking in randomly to see if they had them in stock. It was like 25 bucks more, but after being on a wait list for over a month i decided 25 bucks more than Sprints retail price was worth it

A little off topic, but on the price match subject at Best Buy. I just bought a new high end refrigerator from best buy, and before she rang it up she went online and checked all the major appliance sellers for the product and Lowes had it for $159 cheaper so they matched that price with out even asking. Of course, I had already shopped around and new of the lower price and was planning on making them price match. I prefer shopping at best buy for big purchases to maximize my reward points.

$300 for an EVO which is nearly 2 generations old hardware is a VERY good amount to receive for it.
They only fetch $200-250 average on craigslist, and that's begging the buyer to pay more.

I have purchased a phone from best buy at retail price and they matched the price to sprint for me. I don't know why they would not. That seems kind of stupid.

A lot of times it depends on the sales person. Same thing when you walk into a Sprint store for an upgrade, exchanges, or just service.

Evo's go for about $200-$250 here in the Phoenix area, you will occasionally see the $300, but I doubt that is where the negotiating settles at.

Obviously you didn't read the Class Action I referenced. In the reading the customer was told he could not price match because the identical camera was sold at a local retailer that specifically sold photography equipment, not an electronics chain store like Ultimate Electronics or Circuit City for example. Also they were practicing within the Best Buy chain that they would not price match it it was not cost effective, like a percentage of profit over cost.
Now I know from being a part time manager in the past at an Autozone store that we were not allowed to price match oil/antifreeze products against Wal-Mart, Target, etc., specifically for the reason they were big box stores. But we "could" pricematch other auto part retailers (Checkers, Napa, etc.) This is why I asked the question, because I was wondering if Best Buy has ever said that when buying a phone retail. Because I could see something said along the lines of, "Well they have lower retail because they receive your monthly payment."
In a "for profit" business, I don't think it would be stupid on their end not to price match as they give back considerably higher buy back on phones over Sprint. Also Best Buy may not buy as many phones as Sprint so their bottom line could be slightly higher.

The best buy buy back program is a scam. I'm glad you got it for free; its like saying hey you pay me $250 upfront to purchase this $1000 laptop, and when you trade it back you only get 500. This is stupid and Best buy wins. I used to shop at best buy all the time until realizing that their markup on everything is like 30% higher than normal retail value. I purchased my heroc on launch day at best buy and paid 100 bucks for it with upgrade. I believe at the time sprint had it for 199 with upgrade. I think their full retail price is much higher on phones because they just cancel out the rebates. I purchased my evo at radio shack for 99.88 but their full retail price was also much higher than sprint's as well. Hmmm

Yeah, there is no way I would have purchased it.
However, the situation was at the time was that I had an upgrade that I was going to lose in April whether I used it or not. So now with the EVO3D and the Nexus S coming out, I would like to take advantage of it if necessary.

Best Buy. Long story but they really wanted me to buy a tablet there. Employees came from all around with discounts for me at check out. There was an actual line of employees with printed skews in their hands, each one adding a new discount. I was still in disbelief when I got home. Like I said, Just for fun I might stop by and have a go. I'm sure they need some kind of entertainment around there.
Oh yeah, the funny part was when the all got through with their discounts another guy walked up typed something in, while another dropped his jaw and said, "Did you just give him a $100 off without a managers aproval, how did you do that?" He just smiled and walked away. Everyone gets luck once in a while.

Will bb reimburse 100 to price match if you already purchased and are within 14 day return period?

Can you scan your receipt from best buy ,so some of who not lucky can used as proof of purchase..thanks![...QUOTE=T120ted;15826374]Best Buy.

Best buy said they dont price match coupons.

Thank you so much for this post, I just got back from Staples with a 16gb Tab. The tech guy in the store said they got 3 of them in yesterday and 1 person bought one late last night and the 2nd one was purchased 5 minutes before me and I got the last one. While he and I were talking 2 more people walked up asking for them and were told they were sold out. He said each store only got 2 or 3 of them.
They did have the Xoom, Playbook and Iconia in stock. The Iconia was quite tempting for $299!!! I also wouldn't have minded getting a Xoom for $399 to goof off with. This new Tab is for my son as I already have one myself. I wish they had the 32gb versions in the store but they said that model is only available online. Staples is also running a special for 15% off any tablet accessories when purchasing a tablet but they no Tab accessories in stock yet. The guy said they haven't received their end cap for the Tab which usually comes with the accessories shipment. He said he would honor the 15% offer once they receive their accessories so I'm going to check back periodically. Checking stock on their website shows other stores in the area have Tabs as well but the guy said it can take up to 24 hours for the online stock checker to update so with the rush of buyers looking for them with the coupon deal I suspect they'll all be gone very quickly. FYI, they are selling the metallic gray version (not the white). The website doesn't give any indication of color...

So how much did you exactly pay for the 16gb SGT??

Depending on your tax, I got mine for $430 after tax and coupon.

Too bad they don't stock the 32GB in any of their stores...
I wonder if they will honor this coupon over the phone to order a 32GB?? Guess I'll be trying here shortly

they do honor in store...

Tried a few Staples in DC metro area. Some don't have any. One store that do have in stock can't make the coupon work. Finally found one store that the manager knows about the coupon and offered to order one for me from Kiosk and pay at the register to use the coupon w/o any problem. I'll pick the tab up this Firday. $420 with tax.

Well, I was on a fence because of luck of Netflix. But now Netflix is sorted out and I've got 16Gb for 400 bucks plus tax from staples.

Got mine from staples 424.99 16gb when to four stores and the last store had 3 left also most stores don't have them on display

I picked up my Galaxy 10.1 at Staples today. I noticed that they didn't have any on display, but there were Xooms, Acers, Blackberries, etc. When I asked them why, they said that yesterday somebody tried to walk off with the display model, so they took it off display. Seems to me that he could have tried to walk off with any of them, so why remove just one?
Anyway, another guy said they had gotten their shipment in on Sunday (3 days ago), and I was the first to buy one. He said the store is getting many returns on tablets, because people buy them thinking they are laptops -- minus the keyboards. I assured him that I was familiar with the android system, owning a rooted Nook.
I am happy with the Samsung so far, but Honeycomb is a little bigger learning curve over Android 2.3. But my buddy at work has a Xoom, so I'll be picking his brain over the next couple of weeks.

$30 coupon code for Nexus 7 (2013) right now!

I didn't see this posted so I figured I would share. I wasn't even planning to upgrade but after seeing the free shipping and $30 off coupon code through Staples, I really couldn't resist. Especially since I have a buyer lined up to purchase my 2012 Nexus 7 for $140 this weekend. :highfive:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/2...exus-7-through-staples-with-this-coupon-code/
Coupon code: 41178
Not sure how long they'll have this offer up but it worked for me.

just walked into a staples near by and used the online staples coupon, printed out.
http://www.staples.com/coupons
bought the 16 gig for $199.
tell the employee to use the online code: 41178
you need to print out the coupon and bring it in store. doing unboxing now.
expires 7/28, go get it!

If you anyone of you were impatient like I was and bought it at Best Buy, you can have them price match it. I had to call in a couple times, first rep lied to me and told me they don't do pricematch of item after purchase only during. Here's their policy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000

Just arrived at my Staples and they only have the 16gb version. Oh well.

I bought mine at Best Buy this morning. I called them to ask if they would match the Staples price, they said only if it's an in store price, I told them it was a coupon discount and they said definitely not. I'm not sure how the other guy above got away with that, it's literally in their pricematch guarantee that they will not match coupon prices. Anyway, Best Buy will allow you to return your item for free, even if it's opened and you can return it to any Best Buy store if you ordered it online. What I'm going to do is buy the Staples one and not open it and return it to Best Buy. Hopefully they won't match the serial number on the box. If they do, then I'll return the opened one, no big deal.
Edit: Oh well, Staples site says they're out of stock online, both models.
Edit 2: Called the store near me, they don't even carry the new model yet, they only have the old one. Other Staples in the area all seem to have the 16GB in stock, no 32GB, so I called them. They said they had only one in stock that was "on hold for a customer, but If I wanted to buy a protection plan for it, they would hold it for me instead"... Sounds real shady. Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, the online code (which is 41178) will work until this Sunday (7/28), but apparently the code 35852 will work in store if you ask the cashier to try it for you.

16gb at the local Staples, with coupon, $199 out the door. :good:

Thank you so much for posting this I rode as quick as I could to staples to pick mine up!
And I was going to wait for my 1 day shipping, Ain't nobody got time for that!!

Hrmm are they're contradicting themselves? Because if you scroll down to the FAQs
How do I request a price match from BestBuy.com?
When making a purchase, or during the return and exchange period after your purchase from BestBuy.com, price match requests from BestBuy.com are handled via phone. Please call 1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289) for a BestBuy.com price match request. Please tell us about the lower price that is still in effect that you want Best Buy to price match. Best Buy will then review and verify the price match request.
Edit: I guess that only applies to pricematching themselves.

You have 15 days to get the price matched post purchase, "We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase." But you still did get lucky because it says "The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: ... coupon offers, ..."
Edit: Yeah, looked at that wording, it does say "if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."
Edit 2: Apparently the code doesn't work in store. Just called a Staples store near me and I asked if they had any in stock, before I even said anything about the coupon, the guy said "If you have the coupon for $30 off, it doesn't work for the new tablet, only the old ones" and that he just tried it numerous times for a customer. Oh well, hopefully they'll get more in stock online, or maybe they didn't realize the coupon was working for the new Nexus 7 and it wasn't supposed to be and they finally fixed it.

insane deal! already got mine at best buy since I thought it was a mistake didn't think Staples would be selling them as well.

To clear up BB price match.
1. They only price match against other stores at the time of purchase. Post purchase price matches apply only to a lower BB price.
2. They do not price match coupons.

1. They only price match against other stores at the time of purchase. Post purchase price matches apply only to a lower BB price.
2. They do not price match coupons.
Bummer...

I'm curious if they can still reject my pricematch, they told me it will be sent to credit department or something. I asked for a confirmation number and was given a case number.

huh, I think best bet would be to go to a local store and hold the coupon over there head. Chances are the Manager would match it to get your business. Online there is prolly less leeway

ordered from amazon, saw this deal, went to staples, they didint accept coupon, canceled amazon, bought at staples anyway...
went to a different staples about 15 min ago with my recipt and showed the coupon..... gave my 32$ back
im happy

They stopped the 30 bucks coupon for new nexus. Old nexus still works! They also are canceling online orders for people who used the 30 coupon.

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.

If they give you more hard time, can you refund it and buy it elsewhere like BB/FS/Staples?

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.

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 !!
