Most Nexus 9 B/W (incl LTE) free shipping @ Newegg (up: $25 GC for delay) - Nexus 9 General

Just a heads up, as the title says. Newegg doesn't charge taxes for most places and has free shipping for pretty much every SKU except White/16 GB. This includes the LTE model, which even Amazon doesn't have.
Update: Newegg still hasn't shipped my preorder, and it looks like other people are having the same problem. Chatted with their support and apparently they don't have the devices yet:

** *System: * Welcome jcracken! My name is Douglas Y.
** *System: * How may I assist you today?
** *jcracken: * Hi I preordered the Nexus 9 on October 30
** *jcracken: * Most retailers shipped preorders on October 31
** *jcracken: * It released everywhere but on Newegg on November 3
** *jcracken: * But my preorder hasn't shipped, and Newegg lists the release day as today, November 6
** *jcracken: * Why hasn't my preorder shipped and why has it taken so long?
** *Douglas Y.: * Thank you for providing me with that information. I will be more than happy to assist you. May I please place you on hold for a moment while I look into this?
** *jcracken: * \ok
** *Douglas Y.: * Thank you for holding, jcracken. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. The manufacturer does not release the product to us, in the case, we do not get our inventory.
** *jcracken: * I've already had to wait a week extra for you guys, how much longer until you get it?
** *jcracken: * Plus your website says that the release date is today
** *Douglas Y.: * I am sorry, the pre-order is on a first order, first shipped basis. I do not have an estimated date of when it will become available to release for you.
** *jcracken: * So you're telling me I'd be better off cancelling my preorder and buying it somewhere else?
** *Douglas Y.: * I am sorry for this situation, we will try our best to complete your order as soon as possible. But I don't have a estimated time of when your order will be shipped out.
** *jcracken: * Google Play has the device in stock. If I cancel my order with you guys I can literally get it within a week from them.
** *Douglas Y.: * I am sorry, Rohin. I would like to issue you $5 Newegg gift card as an compensation so you can save the order. Would you accept this solution
** *jcracken: * I guess...but if the device hasn't shipped a week from now I'm cancelling my order for sure.
** *Douglas Y.: * Thank you for your understanding, please allow 1 to 2 business days for the gift card to be sent to you via email.
** *Douglas Y.: * Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
** *jcracken: * No
** *Douglas Y.: * Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you. Thank you for contacting Newegg. I hope you have an eggcellent day!

Update #2: All Nexus 9 preorders are getting $25 GC to make up for the delay:
We are contacting you today regarding your pre-order for the HTC Nexus 9 Tablet. Because of the high demand for this product, it appears we will not be receiving inventory when expected. Currently, we do not have a specific estimated time of arrival; however, we are working diligently with our vendors to provide an accurate timeframe. Once we are notified that inventory has been allocated to us, we will contact you again via email with a new projected date.
As with all Newegg pre-orders, funds are not withdrawn until the pre-order is fulfilled and becomes an actual Sales Order, so at this time you should see no charges placed on the form of payment designated for this pre-order. Newegg is dedicated to ensuring our customers are notified and provided all necessary information to make the best shopping selection. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we will be issuing you a $25 Newegg Customer Care Gift Card. Please allow 2 to 3 business days for the gift card to be sent via email to this email address.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this email, please do not hesitate to contact Newegg Customer Service through one of the convenient contact methods provided here.

Newegg Customer Service

Visa checkout code doesn't work for preorders

yeah sadly that doesnt work, but hey at least its no tax and has a free shipping option.

What's the minimum price for the coupon?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Wow, just saved me 20 bucks on tax, thanks.

I just ordered the 32 gb Nexus 9 on Newegg.com. It was only $52 more than the 16gb nexus 9 I order on Amazon when you include the Fl tax.
I also tried the visacheckout promotion and it did not work as that promotion specifically excludes pre-order's and ends on October 31, 2014.
Newegg.com is a google trusted store and as a result google sent me an email saying that Newegg.com expects to ship the Nexus 9 on October 31, 2014. Lets hope that is true, regardless I choose the free shipping so I should hopefully be receiving it sometime next week.

Just got a 32GB BLK into my cart. Total was $526.xx with free shipping, but in small writing it said Pre-Orders won't ship until November 3rd. Maybe it's because of how close it is to release now, but i'm keeping my HTC order which was only $2.00 more with free one day shipping. =]

Newegg just changed the release date to 11/7. Their reps tell me its likely our orders wont ship before that.

I believe I should be able to get Best Buy to pricematch ($150 in BB gift cards) this if I want it earlier than Black Friday. Otherwise, I can be patient enough to wait for the Sand color.

Edited.

Same thing happened to me so I canceled and ordered off Google play. I need to have my tablet before my trip!

Fairly Irate
I have to say I am pretty ticked off about the change of Newegg's release date. And no notification about the change! I should have had the tablet by this Thursday and now its not even shipping till Friday. The least they could do to make me happy would be upgrade preorder shipping to overnight Saturday delivery. I have been a huge Newegg fan for many years but this may just be my last puchase.

@techiedj
Agree with you completely. Ive tried contacting them numerous times, all they do is dodge the issue or not reply.

No luck
I tried to coax upgraded shipping from a chat rep with no success. Have to say the egg is not what it used to be years ago. Must be good business to leave your customer feeling dissapointed about a purchase.

Are there any coupons that work currently?

So now it's...Release Date: 11/21/2014
Smh.

Fuming Mad
You have to be fracking kidding me!!! Beyond pissed now. F newegg F Google ... Hello iPad air2

They emailed me back saying they would give me $25 off.

My order now says the release date is 11/06/14...
who knows when this thing will ship

Release Date and Pricing information for Leo

Thought I would start this thread to gather new information on availability of the Leo. I have been told the earliest date for the Leo on O2 is November 2nd, but no pricing information. T-Mobile is 5th/6th November £35 and free handset on an 18th month contract. So post anything else you might here - here.
Romania - 15 november, about 620 EUR , unlocked and contract free.
Switzerland, 13 november, 763 CHF -> 504 €, unlocked and contact free.
The UK unlocked version should start arriving from the 11th and will be £500 to £550 (including VAT).
Denmark, 6 November, ~580 euro, unlocked and contact free.
I spoke to O2 yesterday, 22-10-09 and she told me they will be available to order on Monday 26Th october. I told her that a number of other sources gave later release dates, but she stuck to her guns and said Monday.....They`ll be getting my call on Monday then..!!!!

Seriously would love it if true - but I doubt it! Either way I will be on the phone meself on Monday
expansys have it at £549 (with £30 of vouchers) but the release date continually varies between 11th and 14th November. I ordered mine from them as soon as I saw it on their site. bit more expensive than others, but I've had a few phones from them and they always seem to get them as early as everyone else, whereas some retailers lag behind the delivery curve a little
You can find the several UK prices here.
http://www.powerupmobile.com/tariffs-2-684.htm
The lowest is at the moment 486.43 pounds.
So just a thought from one compulsive early adopter
All,
This does look like a very interesting phone, so long as it isn't too big in size.
We will all need to get use to a new finger language and most likely some of our applications will not actually work effectively (due to lack of a stylus).
Now about the price...Well as a compulsive early adopter I have been prone to buying most of the HTC devices on first day - through preorder, import (expansys) or some means.
This time it may be worth not dipping into my rainy day money for about 3-4 weeks.
We are on the cusp of an iPhone pre Christmas war. I suspect it is going to turn ugly out there with all the new vendors and their retail subs viciously slashing prices and offering cashbacks etc.
I don't want an iPhone (I currently have two 3GS phones for evaluation and they are just bland to me). I want a cheaper HTC HD2.
If I wait just a few weeks I expect to see a downward pressure begin to build on all other device prices as the Christmas fight begins.
And those non iPhone devices will drop in perceived value as the mass of the great dirty unwashed make a rush to get an affordable iPhone (they will all want to show how cool they are - but after Christmas when they all show each other their iPhones they will realise... well... actually they are not cool anymore)
So I will continue to live life to the full and just for a few weeks sit on my hands and then pick one up in the pre Christmas rush, hopefully around £100 cheaper.
All the best,
The Pianist
Have been told the same this afternoon, but the lady was a little bit more cagey. She said that they might have them on Monday to order but not to hold my breath. Same as before really.
well, that will be the cheapest price for people like me from outside of EU countries. in handtec, it states 432GBP. no need to pay VAT. clove is 439GBP.
Slovakia - 11 - 16 November, about 596 EUR , unlocked and contract free.
Got mine on order, from Micro-P , should get it on the 11th/12th Fingers crossed....

Be very very wary of deals like this. I contacted a gentleman a couple of weeks ago with a similar "bargain" for the Omnia 2. After getting further into it, they would only accept payment via Western Union (which you should never do). When I asked whether I could collect in person (they were based out of a normal surburban semi going by their post code) and pay in cash they said they didn't accept cash and would still require me to pay by Western Union. I obviously did not take them up on the deal

[Q] Newbie Order Blues

Hi All,
I am a newbie to the Adam World. After spending hours on various Adam sites, I finally ordered a LCD version on Feb 19th through my Amex. It has been two days and I still don't see the charge on my American Express.
Anyone knows how long does it take NI to charge your credit card? If my card is not charged does that mean my order never went through (though I got an Order Confirmation email from NI)?
What can I do to make sure my order went through - like call NI or any other avenue?
Thanks,
BD
The charge took 6 days to show up on my AMEX. I was in the original order group back on Dec 9th, 2010.
You should get two instant email confirmations. If you don't close your order page, it should return you to NI store and give you confirmation.

We have charged your card a total amount of USD 425.33 (inclusive of shipping charges only)
If you wish to cancel your order, you may do so within the next 48 hours, after which a cancellation fee of 5% would be charged.

Now when I login to NI to see my status it shows my payment status as "Paid" and estimated shipping date of 25th February to 10th March 2011.
What I am worried about is that it has been more than 48 hours since my order and nothing has come up on my credit card statement yet.
Thanks!!

Adam ordering timeline
I am keeping a blog of my Adam ordering experence on my website. It took over ten days for the charge to finally show up on my card after they pre-authorized it. I'm not aloud to post links here yet (I guess I have been away for too long) so just Google me.

Amazon uk ordering

Has anyone ordered the phone at amazon.co.uk?
Mine has an estimated dispatch date of 4-5 may and an estimated delivery date of 6-9 may (standard delivery to Belgium, 1-2 days). It has not been dispatched yet.
I have placed my order on 15 april for an estimated dispatch date of 30 april, updated about two weeks ago to 4-5 may.
I would appreciate it if you would share and update the delivery status in this topic.
same for me, frenetically hitting the refresh button on my amazon.co.uk page... Mine says dispatch to be expected on 5/5...

Same for me... I got a thrill the other night when Amazon told me my item had been dispatched, but they were just talking about the cover I had ordered for the phone
I've come home from work and keep checking my email every two minutes, but no sign of a dispatch yet. I fear it's going to be next week before I get my hands on this phone!
Amazon quote
"Please be advised, although we do have stock of the item "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" on hand, we are not able to dispatch it to you until the official release date, May 06, 2011. Many manufacturers restrict retailers from selling or dispatching their products until the official release date."

Thanks, I guess thats a reply from amazon? Anyway, I guess we can wait a day or two, no one needs the gadget right now.
Or...
What am I saying, bring it on, amazon!!!
So delivery will be Monday at the earliest then?
Stupid weekend getting in the way...
From the amazon uk forum, looks like we are not going to have the GS2 in a while.
I received the following from customer support a short while ago...
Hello,
I'm sorry for the unexpected delay of your order. I have researched the availability of "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" and learned that its release has been delayed.
As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the dispatch process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is about to be sent.
In addition to a wide selection of items, one of our aims at Amazon.co.uk is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have not met that standard. Once again we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue and hope this will not discourage you from shopping with Amazon.co.uk in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

I've no problem with Amazon if they've been let down by a supplier.
However, if a customer support employee can research to find that their release date is now obsolete, why are Amazon still advertising the 6th May as the release date on the product page?
I received an email from customer support a couple of days ago which stated that the phone will be in stock before the 6th May release date.
On the product page itself, someone posted an email from customer support saying that the phone was in stock, but they just weren't allowed to dispatch it until the 6th May release date.
I repeat, the delay itself is not something that is upsetting me. These things happen. However, the misguided information certainly is an issue. I expected a lot better from Amazon...
We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on April 14 2011.
So who's going to wait for Amazon? Who's going to cancel their order and try somewhere else?
I'm thinking I'll be heading into town this weekend to see if I can buy one on the high street...
got the same message and I'm thinking of cancelling
Well, I did cancel my order and placed a new one at Handtec... lets see, they talk about shipping on 9 or 10th of may...
I was going to cancel, but then I received this e-mail. I think I'll wait just a little longer I guess.
Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on April 15 2011 (Order #202-6217273-4883543).
"Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone"
Estimated arrival date: May 10 2011 - May 11 2011​
I've also had the same message from Amazon. I've now cancelled the order and have now ordered the phone from play.com
In stock apparently and £499.99 with free delivery. It's been waiting to go to dispatch since 8:30am.
I will probably get the sorry sir, it wasn't really in stock please check again in a couple of weeks
in germany you can get the i9100 right now on amazon.de for 599,-€
in stock and already dispatched, without simlock
I've just received an email to say that my new delivery estimate is 9th-10th May.
Hmm...
Yaldy! "We are preparing this item for dispatch"!
Amazon uk delivery due 7th May
I had the email from Amazon UK at 02:10 this morning stating the expected delivery date of today would not be met. I orderd on 28th April and I am an Amazon Prime Customer.
This morning I debated cancelling my order, but left it thinking a few days delay would not be too bad.
At 15:11 I received an order dispatch email with tracking number showing the phone had been handed over to Royal Mail at 14:34. Expected delivery is Saturday May 7th. I am glad i did not hit he cancel button too soon.
The bad news is it's being delivered to work so won't get to play until Monday.

Mine got dispatched last night and is expected to deliver on 12 May.

Shipping Starts on May 15th for Pre-Ordered EVO 4G LTEs!

Website was taking orders at 5:30 AM PDT, so I submitted my pre-order.
I checked back a little while ago and saw this on the "My Order" page:
Thanks for pre-ordering. A shiny new HTC EVO 4G LTE is waiting for you in our warehouse. Shipping starts May 15th and we will send you an email the second it ships. Delivery should occur within 1 to 3 business days thereafter. You may continue to track the status of your order on this web page. If you have questions, check out sprint.com/preorder for more info.
Not sure how many they'll ship that day, but it's encouraging!
Lucky! Mine says the generic backordered message.
Wonder how many people have the 5/15 shipping date message.....
"Your order or a portion of your order is in backorder status. If you would like to select an alternate product or cancel your backordered item, please call 866-789-8292 between 8:00 a.m. EST to 11:00 p.m. EST Monday to Friday or 9:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays and Sundays.Please note that cancellation requests may not always process successfully due to the speed of warehouse processing.If you cancelled your backordered item but still received a shipment, please refuse the shipment or call us to process a return within 14 days of receipt."
@totalnub
Thanks for posting that. I had been wondering if you preorder, do you still get a 14day return window. Your post answered my unasked question
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
I preordered mine from sprint as well and i got the following...
"Your order or a portion of your order is in backorder status. If you would like to select an alternate product or cancel your backordered item, please call 866-789-8292 between 8:00 a.m. EST to 11:00 p.m. EST Monday to Friday or 9:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays and Sundays.Please note that cancellation requests may not always process successfully due to the speed of warehouse processing.If you cancelled your backordered item but still received a shipment, please refuse the shipment or call us to process a return within 14 days of receipt."
But the roumer with the 15 being the shipping day seems about right, that being said it will come out on the 18th, ensuring a 3 day shipping window.
I wonder when they will actually bill our debit/credit cards! I thought they were going to bill them during the preorder but i guess not! I have to make sure i have enough money in my bank for when they bill me! lol

@scottspa74
Yep, confirmed it on the phone as well.
They said that internet preorder returns would be valid 14 days from date of receipt. They did, however, mention that you would need to call them and they'd arrange for a prepaid return shipping (meaning you can't just drop it off at your local sprint store).
No big deal to me.
Also, when you preorder, the amount of the phone + tax will be charged to your credit card. This amount then goes on your account as a credit. The phone price doesn't get added to your account until the next billing cycle (possibly has something to do with 14day returns)
i.e. had outstanding balance of $140 before today, now I show an amount due of -$60 with a recent payment of $200 (for preorder)
Next month I'll get hit with the $200 charge to my bill to offset the pre-payed pre-order.
Kinda confusing but I guess it makes sense.

Next month I'll get hit with the $200 charge to my bill to offset the pre-payed pre-order.
Kinda confusing but I guess it makes sense.

I noticed this, too. I'm showing a -$200+ Credit, though I assumed it would zero out once the phone ships.

Check your order status and see if you have a message to call Sprint. I checked my status and just had to call them for verification.
So, I just rechecked my order on the site, and now I get the backordered message, too:
Status: Your order or a portion of your order is in backorder status. If you would like to select an alternate product or cancel your backordered item, please call 866-789-8292 between 8:00 a.m. EST to 11:00 p.m. EST Monday to Friday or 9:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays and Sundays.Please note that cancellation requests may not always process successfully due to the speed of warehouse processing.If you cancelled your backordered item but still received a shipment, please refuse the shipment or call us to process a return within 14 days of receipt.
Oh well...I guess it gets here when it gets here!

Yea because right after I called and hung up they charged my card.
Got the stupid back order message now too but lady on phone when I did confirmation said they have not been told about any EVO LTE being on backorder yet. Maybe the message is just because the device can't ship yet because it hasn't been released.
the Charge just went thru. $ 238.74.

Post your Staples $30 off coupon order status

The deal was TGTBT for a hot new product and was doomed to die. For those who got an order in for in-store pick up or home delivery post the following:
1. Approximate time with timezone that you ordered.
2. Copy and paste current status from Track Order -> Track This Shipment links from Staples' order confirmation email.
Here's mine:

I ordered (16GB) around 2PM(PST) today. Just checked online and mine is at the same stage as yours.
I assume we can't track the package yet maybe until tomorrow ?
I ordered a 32gb online this morning with the coupon and thankfully got a shipping confirmation not too long ago. Doesn't seem to have a tracking number though.

My guess is as good as yours. Usually, UPS and USPS are slow to update status. Hopefully, between tomorrow and Monday. Just happy the status changed from processing order.
Ordered the 16gb with the coupon and chose deliver to store. Now it says that its been shipped from the warehouse, and it should arrive at the local Staples on Monday.
Oh baby mine shipped. So Cal, about 11am I ordered.

Ordered @ 1:30pm yesterday (7/26) with the $30 coupon code. Just checked and it shipped from the warehouse and it's scheduled for delivery on 7/31. Still need to sell my N7 v1 before then...
They are rejecting the coupon in-store. Said there was a corporate-wide email.
Just made a vow to avoid Staples like the plague for any future purchases.
Oh no. Is it out of stock already? Damn, I wanted to catch this 30$ off. :crying:
Mine shipped from NoCal and I am in Socal. Expected delivery date is on July 30th which I doubt since it should only take 1 business day even if it is shipped through ground.
32Gb - ordered July 26 noon PST.

Went to a nearby Staples and used the coupon. The manager first told me it couldn't be applied. I just told him I read online Staples was honoring it still and he was like "OK works for me, take 30 off" Awesome... Total cost came out to 212 so I went ahead and bought the 1 year plan for 50 since I had a 250 cash card anyways. So I paid about 15 out of pocket this go round

Same for me. Coupon didn't work and I was working with the "Lead Supervisor" at my local store. Told him everybody said it was working online. Dude gave it to me for 199 even. Yes! No tax in OR means walk out the door with shiny new Nexus 7, under 200.
P.S.: Your signature thoroughly confused me... I tried to kill that bug like three times.

Just picked one up at Staples here in Broomfield, Colorado, and they honored the $30 off coupon. CSR had to do a manual entry to accomplish it, but she was happy to - said they did the same yesterday, "Because the SKU is new and system isn't accepting it". I was prepared to argue, because the terms on the coupon specifically state ANY tablet, expires 7-28-13.

I'll be avoiding them from now on as well. 3 stores told me they won't honor the coupon. The 4th store said they would honor it and they had stock, but it was 30min away and they wouldn't let me reserve a device. When I got there the manager said somebody had just called and reserved the last 3. I'm prepared to complain to corporate about the last one. I will never be shopping at a staples again.
