Does Google Play include Saturday delivery?

UPS 2nd Day Air has an option for saturday deliveries, it may or may not be extra, I know Amazon Prime does it and they use UPS 2 day.
Anyone know if UPS included saturday delivery with all 2 day orders now? Their website makes it seem like its an add-on charge but they dont explicitly say it is.
If it isnt included in all 2 day shipping then does anyone know if Play uses saturday delivery?

Someone please say yes...

usually during holiday season all 2nd day shipping has the saturday option, so possibly. however, i doubt it.

No but others in the nexus 7 forums did and they didn't get it till monday

The answer is no.
UPS charges $15 for Saturday delivery which is more than twice the cost Google charged to deliver the package.

Google really screwed us on this one >=(

From past experience.
And I called Google and UPS for a Saturday delivery and both rejected. I had to leave town on Monday so I was hoping they would deliver on Saturday.but they wouldn't. I'm sure others had same experience as well.

Well they charged $14, which is a completely ridiculous price in the first place. Amazon gives you saturday delivery for a fraction of that (or included with Prime).
I cant believe they are going to ship on thursday and not include saturday delivery. This is absolute incompetence. 6 day shipping for $14... un f***ing believable.
They should be busting their asses to get these things shipping tonight if they are going to charge that much and not do saturday delivery. Whose dumbass idea was it to ship on the day that would take longest possible shipping time?

What did google do?
This is getting annoying. "Google screwed us when we were ordering" "Google screwed us when shipping" "Google screwed us with packaging" "google screwed us with 30 units available"
Google didn't screw anyone. The only thing that close was the ordering system. They should have had a pre order.
Shipping. Do you think its easy to ship out probably 10 000 units in 2 days? Shipping is UPS side. Google has nothing to do with shipping. If you want it so bad. Get it from TMO or any place that sells it retail. That way you have it in your hands the second you pay for it.
This is why we can't have nice things. People complains and points fingers when nothing is wrong. Just because they are excited.
You waited for least 2 weeks now. Another week isn't going to ruin your life.

Well there you go, a simple pre order would of been enough to help us out and Google didn't do that so yes they screwed us on this one. At least they should have the common decency to give us Saturday shipping or have it listed as an option. But i understand that maybe UPS fault? But still not even preorders were offered .
10,000 units in 2days is trouble some to ship, but from what i have heard, no ones N4 has been shipped yet not even one. (at least in the U.S)
So I stand by my last post :]

$14 for shipping is cheap. Move to canada.
Anything you buy from the states is almost least $20 for 2 weeks delivery time. That's for something that weights a pound. I paid $100 to ship a turbo over from the states to canada. That took 2 weeks. It cost a dealer about $1500 to ship a car. And i'm paying $100 to ship a turbo that weights maybe 15lbs. Both takes about the same time to deliver. That's ridiculous.
Just because companies spoils you with free shipping doesn't mean its ridiculous for another to charge. N4 is stupid cheap as it is. Just be wait.
Unless you are willing to ship something for free and with saturday delivery, don't complain.

It depends to be honest. If you need it sat, my suggestion is to track it. If the phone is in a local distribution center, call them and arrange a pick up

yeah I agree they should have had an option for saturday but think about it from google's POV.
They have a ton of unit to ship and mistakes will happen if they don't keep things simple.
Google isn't a hardware complain, They are a search engine, advertising and software company. So they could only have 100 warehouse workers trying to get everything out vs apple with 1000 (made up number) so its easier for them and have lessen the chance of a mistake. Or shipping the saturday ones with regular shipping times.

Who compares shipping to Amazon? Seriously. Amazon sends a million shipments a day. They have their own carrier distribution facilities. Amazon is in a league of their own with shipping so don't expect other companies to live up to their level.

So because you pay international shipping rates it makes sense to charge international rates for domestic shipping as well? If anything that makes the shipping price even more absurd.
Stop acting like Google is some mom and pop company, they are one of the richest companies in the world and have been shipping phones out of Play for the past year with multiple warehouses, they do not pay full price for shipping like we do because they ship thousands of products a month and get bulk discounts like every other retailer. Ive gotten far better and cheaper service from Ebay stores than I have from Play, and they have to pay full price for shipping.
The poor service would be much easier to swallow if they didnt charge far more in shipping than any other retailer on the internet.

Amazon Shipping estimate?

Mine says may 23rd to may 30th? What are the odds it will come earlier?

Why wait? Call around to your local B&Ms and pounce on the first one that has stock.

I was going to order from wirefly originally but don't feel comfortable giving them my full ssn especially when they specifically say in the the terms that they can give it to third parties.

fair point about wirefly, not sure why they'd need that anyway. As far as the costco order, it was originally posted that the expected processing date was "on or before 5/3". we all knew that when placing the order.
problem is, they aren't saying anything about when they're expected to process to anyone who calls/emails. the silent treatment is annoying a lot of people.
turns out that the link: http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/10214 now says 5/8. not sure if that applies to those of us who ordered earlier, or to the new batch of orders. Guess we'll know on Fri. Either way, they have my order b/c they offer free activation as well, so it's 199 + add'l $36 savings + some random accessories.

So lets say it does actually process my order on the 8th (probably later though due to ordering later). The 8th is a wednesday. That means most likely the phone won't ship out until monday the 13th or later. According to http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/content/do/shipping, it takes 4-7 days just to ship it out. So i wouldn't get it until the 17th- 20th at the earliest. This is assuming there will be no more delays. Plus, it will cost me extra for the membership or the hassle of trying to get a free membership trial. Amazon is saying it will arrive the 22nd but from my experience it can be earlier than estimated. Plus That's after the 2day shipping which is free. Is it really worth the hassle and possible extra money to get it 2 days earlier? Now if i get get it today brick and mortar that would be a totally different story.
Amazon also has a great return policy (you know just in case)

haha well that's up to you. i'm hoping they're updating the link in combo with their expected batches. That'd put me in the 5/3 batch. so i'm expecting mine around the 8th.
ps. you don't need a membership to purchase from costco wireless.

Actually, I'm in the same boat - was hoping for a good reason to be talked out of waiting too. If Amazon will drag it out, maybe another deal may pop up. Still happy with my SGII, so no hurry to ditch it while hoping to get to that magical $150 new subscriber cost.

My wife and I each ordered one this morning. We watched the countdown clock and clicked immediately. Looking forward to moving to it from my Nexus 5. My wife has the monstrous Sony Z Ultra GPe and thinks she will enjoy a smaller phone for a change.

I don't suppose anybody took a screenshot of it showing the $199 price for credit card price protection submissions?

promo code not working, is it a mistype? Entering it after login to amazon to pay.
Anyone confirm?
NVM confirmed dead

Just a bump here. It is listed at the normal amazon page (as of this post) for $199 and the promo code works. Just got it for $179. Thanks to above posts. YMMV not sure how long these last.
http://www.amazon.com/ALCATEL-ONETO...sim_107_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q1BEF2P9023PZZ644NH

Promo code only works with non-lightning deals? That's my guess only since this is a now a lightning deal. I feel terrible for ordering this at like 11:30 PM last night only for it to drop to $199 today. Did not find out about this until just now when I came back from work. Trying to see if Amazon will honor a credit for the difference now.
Edit: Eh. No joy. They won't honor it even though it's being fulfilled by Amazon. Oh well, I'm missed $25. Not the worst missed deal I've had. I just don't want to wait another few days to get the phone. Should get it tomorrow (when I'm off). Then I'll see how well it fits my usage. If everything goes well, I'll probably sell my Nexus 6 32 GB Cloud White and stick with this baby.

Could someone please upload a screenshot of something on amazon showing the $199 price? I paid $250 for mine back in may and would like to submit to chase for price protection. I'd be very appreciative.
*nevermind* I was finally able to get it to show $199.

I'm glad i checked the board tonight cause i bought the IDOL 3 yesterday at 225 so i contacted amazon and got a partial refund when it ships on Thursday.

If you purchased within 10 days you can contact amazon and they will do a price adjustment...beyond 10 days you have to use credit card price protection which lasts for 60-90 days.....I'm submitting a chase freedom price protection claim tomorrow because I paid $250 on may 20th and it's showing $199 with the previously posted $20 off promo code still working making the final price $179.99.

Odd. I called last night and the rep told me they could not offer me price protection since it comes from a third-party seller. I kept trying to explain that it was a Amazon fulfilled order. She tried contacting their "cell phone department", but I was told they closed at 7 PM (no clue which timezone). Her suggestion was that I refuse my package and try and order again. I didn't want to wait until next week for my phone considering I might even be home and it could get delayed further because no one is around to receive it.

You might just try calling back and talking to a different rep. On a bright note many credit cards have price protection now and the chase freedom one has been painless so far..I started my claim over the phone..they are emailing me the paperwork to which I have to add printouts of the sale price and my original receipt...since it's an identical item from the same store purchased should be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure I'll get the $20 off promo code but the drop from $250 to $199 would be nice.

The price was also available directly from amazon yesterday and this morning.

If you buy something in May I don't see how price protection works two months later. It is usually within a week.

Typical price protection with credit cards is a minimum of 60 days and usually 90 days. I submitted the claim for the $50 difference and didn't include the $20 off promo code so I could have purchased the phone for $179.99 but trying to explain that when the sale price showed $199 on the amazon page would greatly increase the risk of the whole claim being denied so I'll take my $50 and be happy.
Citi Price Rewind : 60 days and they check the price FOR you at most major places when you submit a "price rewind". I've gotten money back from laptop chargers to laptops...and now hopefully a smartphone.
Discover has price protection for 90 days.
Chase Freedom: 90 days.

Got my $179 idol 3 this past morning. So far pleasantly surprised. Screen is insanely bright and speakers are very good. So far liking it more than my g3 or M8 (particularly the camera on this one vs the idol)

Black friday: $35 sale

While there is a 2-unit limit, the Amazon Fire is now $35 bucks. Get it while you still can!

I did not know there was a 2 unit limit. I presume the limit holds true even if they are shipped to different addresses? My friend ordered me one since they have prime.

I was looking if they had the buy 5+1 free offer, but saw it was gone.
But I did order the one I was waiting for.

I just ordered two more. From the mobile app I didn't see the 2-unit limit.

Most of the alternative cases which were about $9.99 have gone up to around $14.99.

just sign up for a free prime 30 day trial and you can order another 2 per account.

damn, we only had the 49 Euro's ( 51 USD ) deal in germany yesterday. Orderd mine yesterday and got it yesterday, love the new same day delivery for free.

£35 in the uk today. Ordered!

I was able to make three purchases of two each to get 6 total. When I was submitting the third and final order, it said I had just made a similar order and did I want to continue. I told it yes and it went thru. 'Course, now I won't get em until 21st or 22nd of December, but that's OK.

If anyone is looking to get the Fire in the US, ordering it from Best Buy online for in store pickup is the best way to go. I ordered it this morning and it is already in store whereas amazon has it backordered until December 17th+. You could probably cancel your orders and buy it this way instead.

Yes. Same price. Much more convenient IMO.

UPS says mine arrives on Monday. I don't think I've ever been so excited to get a $35 gadget, haha.

Picked one up in store yesterday at Best Buy. Open box special.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but the price was too good to pass up.

One of mine arrived yesterday, the other should come around the 30th.
Anyway, this is a pretty good device so far. I made sure to replace the Fire OS with CM12.1 and now it really flies compared to the original Kindle Fire. At first I was concerned with the resolution, but now I'm fine with it not being 720P. I mean for $35 I can't really have it all.
Also I would suggest using the Supertool posted in the index.

Did you know it was at Best Buy already or was I of assistance to you with my post in the thread?

I actually was researching this tablet because of price and read your thread to get some impressions.

Who else is looking to buy the unlocked US996 V20?

Just wanna get a thread started so we can list who's selling it to see who's got the lowest price (with tax etc)
I'm on Verizon and I'm looking to spend the extra cash because it's unlocked and the bands on the VS995 V20 on Verizon are identical to the bands on the US996 V20 (in fact, the unlocked has more bands than Verizon) so I have a feeling it's going to work fine. I'd rather have the chance of an unlockable bootloader and root than a locked down Verizon version with all their BS.
so far, we know B&H has it for $799. Problem is, if you want Silver like me, you have to wait weeks longer. B&H updated shipping to Mid-November for Silver, and Titan is early November. B&H comes with that useless little tablet as well, but the nice thing about B&H is if you're in Jersey like me, there's free overnight shipping, and they only charge tax if you're in NY..that's about $53 worth of saving right there.
Newegg is also selling it for the same price with the tablet and power bank. Newegg has specific release dates, though. Titan is November 11th, and Silver is November 24th. Newegg charges tax in NJ and it's like 3-5 day free shipping.
Basically, B&H is the best bet so far (for me, anyway.) Problem is that the headphone offer from LG ends 11/20/16...so wtf are these people supposed to do who are ordering this version and won't get it until the end of next month? Pretty crappy on LG's part; they can't ship the silver in time to these dealers, so the buyers get punished? Dumb.
I'm still waiting to see if Best Buy is going to sell it because I'd like to get the points from being an Elite member and use a gift certificate. Amazon doesn't have anything listed yet, either.
Anyone have any other places where we can look to buy the unlocked version?? Looks like we won't be getting it until the end of next month....shame, but we can atleast watch more reviews on the phone itself, and on accessories!
*UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE*
figured id update. I got my us996 from Amazon, and I run it perfectly on Verizon! gets HD voice and volte so everything is good!

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been searching all over for information about availability/ compatibility of US996, especially with respect to Verizon. As you have already metioned, the only places I have found that offer the 996 variant are B&H and Newegg. I did come across a link on LG's website, but it only lists B&H currently.
https://www.lg.com/us/products/wtb?modelId=MD05779514
I'm sure you've probably also noticed the discussion on reddit about US996 on Verizon.

I don't think i have. can you link it? basically I think the unlocked will work on Verizon no problem, as all the bands are identical.

I agree. It seems as though it should work on Verizon. Honestly, I don't have enough knowledge to figure these things out for myself, but I do have a knack for acquiring information and following the advice of other developers such as yourself.

Sounds like we're both on the same path. I'm just glad to see that I'm not the only one out here who is ready to pounce!! Guess I better slow my roll. Excellent job with your efforts brotha. Keep up the good work!
:good::good:

here's hoping it'll work perfectly with Verizon and we get the headphones even tho it won't ship until later, and hopefully it's worth the wait

It seems like the best option for me. I'm not all that impressed with the Pixel. Would be nice to get those headphones, but I like over ear headphones better than in ear anyway. Just as long as I can optimize my chances of acquiring root I'm happy. Fingers crossed!

alright, just bit the bullet and pre-ordered at B&H.
$799 flat, no tax, and free 1-2 day shipping because i'm close in NJ and they're in NYC.
comes with the crappy little LG tablet too, which i don't need, but there's no point selling because the price is gonna be next to nothing when the market gets flooded with them and everyone is selling them online...so i might just keep it as a book reading tablet since it's only 7 inch, and my main tab is a galaxy tab s 8.4.
they're closed still for their holiday until weds, but i'm going to write to them weds to confirm what it costs to return it in case i get it and it won't activate with verizon. also want to know if i can easily cancel the order between now and then in case we hear more about it not working, but as of now, i'm confident it will work as it's got the exact same freqs as the VZW model.
i pre-ordered the silver because i don't want titan, so i have to wait until the end of november for it. newegg says it ships the 25th, so i'm sure B&H will get it around the same time. i don't mind waiting. already got myself a thin TPU case so i'm fine for now.
anyone else bite the bullet yet?

here a link to US996 on Amazon

I bit the bullet on Newegg, since it comes with a power bank and they have a more firm date. The 11th is annoying, since all carrier versions are already out....but I'd take an unlocked one over a carrier one any day. I'm also scouring ebay to see if any more H915s pop up.

cool cool. you in a state that has to pay tax on new egg orders?

I ended up preordering from B&H. I was reading that they will accept returns on opened cameras so I imagine shouldn't be a problem with a phone (hopefully without a restock fee).

Bummer. I might have to go with Amazon then.

If you have an AMEX Card, you get free ShopRunner membership that you can use on Newegg with free 2 day shipping and free returns.
I would either go that route or with Amazon prime.
Edit: I looked on Newegg about their preorder, and it does not allow the use of ShopRunner. It has a standard 3 day shipping, but there is no returns.
https://kb.newegg.com/Article/Index/12/3?id=1167#84 " Products covered by this return policy may only be returned for a replacement of the same item. If the original item is no longer available, a refund in the amount of the price originally paid will be issued."

I was checking out a forum for photographers that said B&H will accept cameras up to 30 days after purchase, but they may charge up to 15% restock. I feel more confident about Amazon prime with respect to returns. For me, the phone comes out to $869 with tax and free delivery. Which would be less than a 15% restock fee ($105) from B&H. So question is what's up with the restock fee?? Maybe I'll shoot them an email.
