Trying to live a life where I don't have to give money to Best Buy. Saw that Verizon updated their Xoom page this weekend, but surprisingly still no order or pre-order information.
I'm assuming if I walk up on Thursday morning they'll have them, but stranger things have happened. Any word on Verizon corporate stores and their expected Xoom inventory?
Just called my local Verizon store, no one there knows if they'll get Xooms to sell on Thursday.
I've heard Verizon stores are only getting 2 or 3 units. This is all rumor at this point, but I do know that BB stores are only getting 5-10 units to sell with most being closer to 5.

I was at a Verizon corporate store in North Seattle yesterday. I asked if they were going to have Xooms on Thursday. The guy I ended up talking to would not come out and outright confirm it, but "highly recommended" I visit the store early on Thursday. Take that for what it's worth. I'm buying mine at Costco.
Just saw this on BGR this AM:
(boy genius report url)/2011/02/22/verizon-wireless-to-launch-motorola-xoom-on-february-24th-599-99-on-contract/
Surprised they aren't doing pre-orders.
As a corporate store they r not allowed to disclose that information on stock count even after Thursday but trust me they have plenty

Looks like I'll be there at 8:45am on thursday lol
Its worth calling. Icalled my local VZW store today and asked if they were doing any presale on the Xoom. She said she would hold one for me and took my name and number. I'll be stopping by Thursday morning (opens at 7:30!) to pick mine up. If they end up not holding one for me, all is well, I have a pre-order in with Best Buy.
But, moral of the story, its worth calling and asking if they will put one on hold for you.

Looks like an early morning for me as well. There's a non-corporate store near me, so I'll also check in with the owner tonight. The small shops are usually pretty good about cutting deals, but they usually get stock after everyone else.

Yeah it does. I live downtown chicago, so there are 5ish stores within a couple miles of where I live and work. There is one that opens at 7 as well, but its a bit further a way.
Checked my store this am (Sac Cal) and they seemed to be barely aware of what I was talking about
They're telling me (harlingen, texas) that the 28th is when they'll make theirs available but that the tablets they'll have WILL have flash 10.2. I have no clue why the delay but the wait is gonna suck. He took my name and number and said he'd call me the 27th.
My verizon said they will have them

Rotten customer service, poorly informed apathetic sales staff and being forced to listen to a sales pitch for product protection plans which is laced with guilt and unfounded fear for most consumers.
Since there is no price advantage at Best Buy, why put up with the aggravation.
Corporate VZ stores will definitely have Xoom's available on the 24th.
Ordered your GS3 from BB? I feel your pain, never gonna preorder from a 3rd party again. But if you have any info re: BB preorders, post it up here.
I gotta say, my whole reason for preordering through Best Buy was because they were the first to open for preorders. They started accepting preorders on 6.5.12, everyone else the following day, so I surmised that at best I'd get the phone slightly before everyone else or at worst the same time as AT&T. The sad truth is that although I preordered before 99% of the people here, I'll likely be one of the last to get the damn thing.
That being said, I'll never preorder though Best Buy again. They are as wildly uninformed as AT&T but when push comes to shove, BB gets pushed to the side as if somehow it's customers (who's money goes directly to AT&T just the same) aren't as important as those who preordered through AT&T direct. The one's who lose are us, the customers. Lesson learned. If I ever preorder a phone again, rest assured it will be direct from the carrier.
Sorry for the rant, just sucks to see so many people who preordered after I did get their phone, or at least shipping confirmation (with delivery eta 6.21.12) before I even know if my preorder is going to be filled on or before 6.21.12 as stated on my preorder receipt.
I preordered in a Best Buy store and have no reason to think I wont be able to pick my phone up tomorrow.
Yeah...I ordered from Best Buy as well. But ain't quite ready to rush the joint with torches.
We shall see what tomorrow brings.
Two BBs around me both said the phone was coming out tomorrow. So I'll be up and on the phone seeing if I can buy an unreserved one

Morning shipments. Best buy does not do any inventory things at night. They will arrive in stores via UPS or FedEx.

Yeah...gonna wait until noon to call. Fingers still crossed.
Just went into my best buy store here in frisco, texas. When I arrived the salesman showed me an internal email they received that stated that the pre orders would be closer to july first before they would be filled.
As I was walking out the salesman called me back over to show me a new email they received that said the preorders would be fulfill tomorrow.
Bottomline, the store doesn't have a clue nor does the best buy home office.

Couple guys in the main Sprint pre-orders thread said they received calls from their local Best Buy telling them to expect a call around noon tomorrow to pick up their phone. They were both expecting shipments by tomorrow morning.
Well, today I walked into my local AT&T Retail Store.. wanting to take a peek at a SGSIII to find out that they actually do not have demo/display units !! Asked the owner when they would be looking into receiving them.. said that the last he heard was not until at least the 2nd week of July or later !!
Can anyone confirm this ?

Pretty accurate for almost all carrier stores from all of the other threads on this forum. Very short supply, pre-orders are even not being filled. BigBox stores might have gotten a small amount each. I'd expect 3rd party resellers not to see this phone for a few more weeks, corporate stores maybe in the next week...Samsung had some serious sourcing issues on a few of the parts for the US variants.
Att non corporate stores choose when and what phones they will carry since they have to pay up front for their inventory. Best advice go to a corporate store
Corporate sprint store near me is suppose to have them July 1st. I plan on swinging by tomorrow to see if it happens on not.

There's a thread going with T-Mobile pre-orders in the Q&A forums. I pre-ordered on the 18th, first date it was available. Had an estimated delivery date of the 26th which came and went. My card was just charged yesterday, thinking they will start shipping today or tomorrow. My status is still as backordered.
This whole pre-order thingy is whack, should have just waited till Wednesday and gone in to get the N3 and Gear watch same time.

I pre-ordered on the 19th. My cash was held on Friday but I haven't received any shipping info. I've called in asking for the status and was told they won't ship anything until the 2nd. I'm thinking I should have just gone into the store since I ordered ground shipping and will have to wait that long now. Kinda sucks.
I feel yall...whats the damn benefit of preordering if you get it when the stores get it...hell you could save on the shipping cost...COME ON T-MOBILE

Now that you mentioned shipping that just made me more upset, $25 overnight shipping to get it maybe 1 or 2 days later than stores? WTF....
Also if there is a problem with the device, ordering in the store is MUCH easier because you can just walk in and swap it out. Online orders you have to ship it back to them, wait up to a week for them to look over it and hope they don't lose it (they lost my S4 for 3 weeks in their receiving warehouse) then mail you out another and you get charged $5 for a "swap" fee.
Top it off, you can't cancel the order once you pre-order it. This whole pre-order thingy stinks of BS. T-Mobile rep said to wait for it to ship (whenever that will be) then wait for the UPS man and refuse delivery, that's the ONLY way to cancel it. You'll lose your shipping charges too. Nice eh?
I forgive them though, they did get my LG G2 delivered to me 2 weeks before the store release date. =)
I had to order mine online to quality for my promotion (10% off service and $50 account credit). It also claims I'll have 2-4 days to wait for it (free shipping, no expedited option was available). I'm willing to be patient to save $218 over the course of two years, though

I called 5 stores and visited one in person on Monday. All the stores have them in stock and go on sale Wednesday. I didn't hear anything about low stock from any of them. Most likely the rep just wants to get you in there asap to get a commission, lol. I had one rep badger me to sign up with service now, then come back and buy the phone on Wed, lol.

I was also planning to pick it up in store, because the preorder didn't really seem to have any advantage to it.
I did some calling around, and it does seem that each store isn't getting too many units. My local retailer is
about 10 minutes away (running), and it opens at 10 AM. I'm also actually a college student, and I have a calc. lecture
until 9:50... I'm really tempted to leave class 20 minutes early. haha. Is it worth it?
The T-Mo Corp Store I work in as a RSA got 15 of the black only. We do not have a Demo phone to show customers. I will be buying my phone tonight before I leave the store. Most of the stores that I talk to got under 15 some got demos some did not. My store has never sold out of a Galaxy phone on day one.

Well I have had mine since 1034am and so far I'm not liking it as much as the mega 6.3. It's basically the same size as the note 2 the no big difference there. There is auto correct while typing. It is rooted however the system is keeping certain root apps from working, such as wifi trevE mod which I still haven't figured out. Anyone that has a work around on the wifi trevE mod please by all means help me out with a link & screen shot of the settings. Thanks in advance.

I heard on the radio today that AT&T was selling them again. But, both Best Buys within an hour of me said probably later this month before they even get any in stock.
I did a search on the best buy website for stores within 250 miles and found one store 80 miles south of me with only black in stock. So of course I went down the next day and passed 2 best buys to get to the one that had a few blacks in stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using Tapatalk
The guy I talked to at a corporate store told me that Samsung was only paying AT&T through the 15th of this month to handle the returns and that he guessed that would be close to when they would start selling them again at AT&T stores. That's just his guess though.
Oct 14 is relaunch date, if best buy has them they will sell it to you, as of right now no note 7s in at the best buy I work at.
I would try best buy online, I bought mine last week on sept 28th. Got a message the next morning that it was going to be delayed, was kinda sad wanted to cancel but decided to wait it out. On the 30th I got a confirmation email saying it was shipped and lo and behold it was delivered the same day. I used overnight shipping and they even credited me for it because of the possible "delay" beforehand.
yeah you just have to find the right store, I never owned the Note 7 before the recall, then on Sept. 23 I called my local ATT corporate store, and they had the Blue Coral in stock and I asked if they would sell me one.... the sales guy had to ask the manager, so I walked out with brand new coral blue N7 within 10 mins.
I just ordered one on the Best Buy website. In my area in-store pickup is currently unavailable. But they will ship it to you, and you can get next-day delivery for an additional charge.
I think they are getting a new stock, because I was not able to place an order for delivery or pickup yesterday.
Wonder if they are shipping them on Southwest Airlines
