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 :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
they do honor in store...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tmacgarris6727:
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
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cameraz:
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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cameraz:
What do you mean, "Netflix is sorted out?" Can Netflix be played on my Samsung? (Forgive me, I'm a Honeycomb newbie).:p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
The latest Netflix APK from market works on Honetcomb tablets just fine. You just need to get the apk from somewhere.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itchiee:
Just chiming in.... I got down on this deal as well and picked up a 16g GT today. A nice change screen wise coming from a G-Tablet. I really wish they had the 32g instead. I would have liked the extra space due to lack of removable storage but oh well $100 off is $100 off. The sales dude said they sold two today with mine being the third due to the coupon and they are now out of stock.

Thank you :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mojoehand:
I saw the coupon earlier today as well. I went to the BB return counter and after checking with a manager, the girl told me that they didn't price match on coupons, but the manager was willing to give me $25 back.

I asked to talk to the manager and explained that nowhere on the BB site does it say that they don' price match on coupons (it doesn't). Many things are excluded, but coupons are not listed as one of them.

After more haggling, the manager called Staples (right next door) to confirm that the coupon was valid. He was told it was, but the store did not have any GT in stock. We eventually settled on my getting $50 back, as it turns out tablets only have a 14 day return period (I thought it was 30 days) and I was past the 14 days. All in all, I thought this was a good outcome.

I'd say that if you are within the 14 day return period, insist that they price match on the coupon and ask them to show you where it says BB doesn't match on coupons. You have nothing to loose but a bit of time. And if you can find a GT at a Staples near you, you can always threaten to return the GT you bought at BB if they won't budge.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droidx1978z4:
Just wanted to point out that the 25% back in rewards that is mentioned in the title does not apply towards tablet sales. I figured I could come back and use the $100 towards accessories but then I read the fine print on the coupon. I'm still happy though. I returned my xoom that I bought there last week using the$50 coupon and walked out with a galaxy tab and 54 more dollars in my pocket.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
yep, finally Netflix is streaming on HC tetra 2 tablets. You can get it here

Picked up a galaxy tab today at Staples. Liking it so far, couldn't resist $100 off.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Raistlin1:
I just got the GT last night from my local staples with the $100 coupon, really wanted the 32gb but supposedly no Staples have them in store. Manager tried to order me the 32gb version but their system woult not accept the coupon code. Also the extra 25% rewards coupon does not work on tablets (and many other devices) that was a bummer.

I was torn between the GT and the Playbook, I have an Evo for my personal phone and a BB Torch as my work phone. Blackberry bridge is an awesome feature and I love the QNX OS with the gestures for closing/minimizing apps, every tablet should have that. But battery life is not so great on PB and the size is kinda small, was waiting for the 8" GT to see if I like that better but the $100 coupon is a killer deal.

I figure I can play around with this 16gb version for a while and then upgrade to something else 6mos-1yr and give this one to my wife/daughter for kid games.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] w4rmk:
FYI, people have been reporting success with getting Office Depot to honor the coupon and are buying Asus Transformers for $299. Some are finding stores that won't honor the coupon and some are finding stores that will, so it's hit or miss...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
Best buy was great with me today.they honor the $100 of the tablet plus $10 rz coupon .all came down to $389.this is after going to 4 different best buy.gr 10.1

For 389 I am very happy....

BB Raleigh, NC

Tried 3 BB's in Raleigh, NC. First two got shot down immediately. Third went as far as the "backroom" but still no go. Hopes were high. Went across the street to Staples and of course they are sold out with a shipment coming in on Monday. Thanks to the OP for the coupon!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
Try office depot
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] capufo:
U r lucky I'm almost by 30 days I don't think I could get anything :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hmoobguy:
Returned!

I just returned my Tab due to the lack of quality control with their screen design (showing pressure oil like under the glass). Suc'd, but I definitely do not want to pay for something that bad out of the box.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ninja984:
how come you didnt try to exchange it maybe you could have got a good one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hmoobguy:
I'll wait until all these manufactures get their act together and build a slightly better product.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fransarj:
why not get them from staples instead of BB? anything wrong with staples?

Got my SGT from BB, now im heading out to help my bro get a xoom in staples with this coupon. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stillblood:
Just picked a 16gb at staples! The tech was an ass. They didn't have them out on display and he got all ****ty when i asked him to open it so I can check the quality. So I paid for it then opened it at the store in front of him. After I explained some of the issues and told him it was a 30 min drive he lighten up a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
I wouldn't open anything for anyone either without them paying for it first.

You want it you buy it, if there is anything wrong you exchange. Thats how retail works.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Raistlin1:
My local BB would not take the Staples coupon, I was hoping they would so I could get the 32gb GT instead of only the 16gb that Staples has in store.

That is probably why many people have been trying to use coupon at BB, Staples only has the 16gb GT in the store and coupon is for in stock in store tablets only.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fransarj:
Just got the 32gb wifi Xoom for my brother! Just updated to 3.2 Damn it's quick! Snappier than my SGT on 3.1 :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ellecsor:
I was able to get the 32gb from OfficeMax. They took the coupon without hesitation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Klk450:
Went to bestbuy and showed them the coupon and they gave me the 100$ difference =D i love you guys.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ardro:
I was lucky and bought 32GB, I went to BB and after talking with a girl, she said they honor the coupon, so I talked with the Manager, and he said they will give me $100 best buy card after paying the whole price and tax.

I can use the gift card for buying other things.

so easy
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stillblood:
I understand that but before he got it out he acted like he didn't want to sale it. He keep telling me "we don't have it on display." I think he didn't think I was going to buy it.

It was just poor customer service. But I'll live with that for 100$ off. I don't think I'll be back to that store for anything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rockwell22:
Bought mine at frys electronics and showed them this and they matched it :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ninja984:
Maybe you went to the same one I did the guy did the samething to me. After he tells me its not on display he just stands there. Im like ok I want to buy it and he says its not on display. I had to tell him to check if they had stock and I wanted to buy it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Raistlin1:
My Office Depot did not have the Galaxy Tab on display, they also don't have it on their website, how are people getting the GT at Office Depot?

They have a bunch of tabs just not this one. I would love to be able to use this coupon somewhere that carries the 32gb version.

I tried BB and they would not do match the staples coupon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I got the 32GB from BB with $ off + $60 reward zone... awesome.

On side note, Staples is the best store right now, though we are mostly getting the 32GB version from some where else. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
Staples save a lot of us $100.....

Staples is the best!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbeason:
Best Buy told me they would not give me money back; I would have to return the tablet and buy it from Staples. So that's what I'm going to do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Klk450:
Yeah some stores just dont want to accept the coupon but luckily mine did, you should still return it and get to use the coupon
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Made2Last:
Best Buy wouldn't price match for me. Was returning my transformer, so am waiting for the funds to be refunded so I can go to staples.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Made2Last:
Just picked up last Tab 10.1 from local store. 25% rewards coupon expired yesterday, regardless if the store would honor it for you. So I couldn't even try.

But for the same price as I paid for the Transformer, man this thing is beautiful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbeason:
Four Staples near me were all in stock according to their website, but when I went there they said there was a recall and they had to return their SGT inventory. So basically they were out stock. I'm in West L.A.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Made2Last:
In the past, Staples has been able to order things for me and ship them to me for free. It works especially well for deals like this, where the coupon is still good but the item you want is out of stock. You should be able to go to the tech counter and ask them if you can order an item and pay for it there.

I did luck out with the last one at my store, but over the phone I talked to the manager before going just to make sure they were honoring the coupon as not to waste a trip, and he actually said he can order anything you would need. Some store employees just don't offer that to people though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Urban_Legend:
After going to several different Staples and originally settling on getting a 16GB when I wanted 32GB, I shot over to HHGregg and picked up a 32GB grey metallic and they honored the coupon. Have not been able to put this thing down since 9pm last night. Really impressed with this product. I know that software fixes are coming soon, and the Tab is more than efficient the way it is now. Extra bonus with the HHGregg version was that I have an unlocked bootloader. Thanks again to the OP, and looking forward to contributing to the development forums. XDA rocks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ButtonBoy:
BestBuy said they would price match, but would not honor the coupon. They had a huge number of them in stock- for the full retail price. Grey, White, 16G 32G- all in stock. I walked out. I need to buy 3 flat screens for my church next week- they lost that business as well.

The local Staples had one Grey 16G in stock, but I could order anything and they would honor their coupon. So I ordered a grey 32G, and was told it would ship out of a local (Seattle) warehouse and be on my doorstep middle of this week. Then I checked my order status online and found that all west coast warehouses are out of stock. It will ship from their Ohio warehouse and be here middle of NEXT week. Oh well. it will take me that long to get my NDK build environment running right...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
I was a madman yesterday, called all local Staples & Office Max to see if they had the 32GB Tab in stock but only a few only had the 16GB. One OD store told me I could come in & place an order for the 32GB tab & they would honor the coupon. When I went there, they said, they would only honor if they had it in stock because thats what the coupon said. Called a few Fry's & BB to see if they would honor the coupon & all told me nope.

Now the impluse has died down, I'm not sure if I want one or not anymore. Yes, I'm an implusive buyer. HAHAHA
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
I just spoke to someone from best buy corporate office and he told me as from today going they will price match all in store coupon,go the any best buy store and try to used the coupon,if they refuse to accept the coupon call best buy(1800-BESTBUY) consumer relationship and explain your situation to them..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
These people are fraking retarded. I called the # you listed & a CS rep told me only if my local Staples has a Galaxy Tab in stock. I'm like if they had it in stock I wouldn't be calling you. The whole point is to bring you business by you selling me one.

EDIT: I decided to make another call to the # you listed & explained the situation to the CS Rep. At first she was like I need to verify if they have it in stock. I told her all my local Staples are out of stock & will have to wait until the weekend to get more. I prefer if I could get it from you right now if you were to give me the $100 off. She asked me to wait a few mins & when she came back, she told me she could honor the coupon if I buy now & have it shipped to me. I asked if I could pick it up at the nearest store but when she checked, none had it in stock. So I went with the 1-2 day shipping.

MORAL of the STORY is: be kind, explain the situation & you might get lucky as I did.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sagui:
Just got the very last SGT in the greater Boston area (Staples) and used the $100 off coupon. LOVING IT!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeric71:
Sagui - I'm in Boston and picked one up today too. Curious, which store did you go to? I was at the one in Roslindale and they told me there was a recall and refused to sell me one until I pulled up an email from Samsung Corporate that showed there was no recall.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Arcolog2:
I've purchased 4 tablets with the coupon at BEST BUY. Coupon says one per day per customer. Best Buy does accept in store coupons, they will call the local staples to see if they carry the same model and to check stock. Its all on the back of any receipt in their policy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
If anyone gets turned down because Staples doesn't is out of stock when BB calls, tell them nicely that they wouldn't be there if Staples did have stock & hopefully they'll sell to you. I said that on the phone to a BB CS rep & it worked for me. I believe someone else tried it but it didn't work for them. Guess it all goes back to who you talk to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sagui:
It was the one at Roslindale, but it was an open box item (just the box was open, the tablet was never removed). Maybe you and I got the last two.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tenbeau:
I started out getting a 16gb Gtab from Staples with the coupon. After 3 days I returned it for a refund(this was with the 50.00 coupon) and then purchased the same one with the 100.00 coupon. Had major issues so after 4 days I returned it for exchange at Staples and the mgr started to give me a major hassle. Said he had to call his DM and then came back and said only open boxes in stock(I had called before going to the store and was told that they had "plenty". I declined the open box offer and got a refund. I called Staple CS the next day to complain about the hassle and the mgr not exchanging the device and was told they would look into the poor customer treatment but all stores were out of stock and would probably not get anymore in.and they refused to let me order one online with the coupon or give me a rain check. I then proceeded to BB and was told by mgr they would not match the coupon. Went back to BB later that night and sales rep said they just got an email and was authorized to sell it with coupon match but had to be in stock at nearest Staples store. Of course they showed no stock when I had called them so told the rep I will buy it if you honor the coupon and he did without calling the staples store. The additional bonus is that it is unlocked. The coupon was major benefit but the way that Staples treated me and the way they handled the exchange was absolute fail. Staples had lost my business(until the next 100.00 coupon)LOL:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeric71:
I am glad you were able to get one. The hassles I went through with that same store the day prior were ridiculous. I was lied to (told all the Tab's had been shipped out at 4PM for a recall) even after I had called at 4:30 and asked if they were in stock (and told yes). That's why I came prepared with the email from Samsung stating they had not been recalled so they couldn't pull any hijinx.

I'm pretty sure Staples doesn't want to honor the coupon for the Samsung and have called an internal recall (Selling on-line only was the line I got) so that they don't have to honor the coupon for the Sammy.

Congrats on getting the last one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] harveydent:
You got BSed. As soon as the $100 coupon expires next week, all their SGT inventory will magically reappear.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] b00sted:
after my staples experience from hell my wife is on her way home with my new tab.

ordered 32gb Transformer they shipped the Acer a500 instead then told me oops we are out of stock of the transformer and cant order you one now. So i bit bullet and kep the a500 with saving myself 100$ as it was the 16gb ver. needless to say it crapped out on me last night became completely unresponsive and even after a restore was working some of the time. So it went back today and now the only Gtab they have in stock is "not a floor model but one they let people try out" and were unable to order me a new one. So I have a new "slightly used" tab that should be home to me any moment and I pray it works fine for me after this huge ass ache.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
I wouldnt worry about it. Staples just started selling these not even two weeks ago.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] b00sted:
ya it is like new, was funny to look at all the random shiz on it tho from ppl testing it out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BBLV:
I hope Staples recognizes how their $hit customer service in dealing with this coupon has MUCH more damage than good. I personally will never even consider going to Staples again after dealing with the numb nuts at my local Staples. Too bad they had to lie to and manipulate their customers...

Wasn't all bad, however. I got my 16gb 10.1 tab for $400 but the screen was defective. Went back for an exchange and they were magically out of stock. What I had to go through to get the manager to OK ordering a replacement was a joke.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fransarj:
Just got another galaxy tab 10.1 for my aunt today. Staples got a product recall from samsung saying that all the tabs would get upgrades so they have to send them back (really?). So i went to best buy just beside staples and argued with the manager.

They also stressed that they didn't price match coupons. thankfully, i read this thread and best buy's price match policy which doesn't indicate that they don't honor coupons. So all he requested from me was to bring the receipt of the xoom that my brother bought showing the $100 discount, and voila! They obviously weren't too happy especially the manager. :D For some weird reason the sales tax on the receipt was only $2.xx! Did they just remove the tax on the tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ellecsor:
For those who are having no luck at Staples, try OfficeMax. They accept competitors' coupons.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeric71:
Anyone that gets a line from Staples saying this has been recalled is being lied to. I emailed and tweeted with Samsung support and escalated this on their watch. Samsung sent me an official email that said there was no recall. Staples gives you that line because they don't want to sell the Galaxy Tab at that pricepoint and have tried to find ways around the coupon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vsc:
I wonder if Staples intended to reduce stock levels of older tablets prior to introducing the Galaxy Tab into the retail outlets, but the timing was off by weeks?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
I dont understand why so many people here are crying about bestbuy not price matching.

Best Buy price match policy clearly states that the competitor must have the item advertised with the specific price.

There is no such advertisement anywhere for this $100 off coupon.

I do agree that some Staples locations are being very shady and its obvious they are holding the tablets. They got the "recall" excuse idea from the Viewsonic G-tablet which was recalled 8 months ago.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Made2Last:
My brother walked into my local staples yesterday and they had gotten more tab 10.1s in stock and he walked out with one no fuss.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sassafras_:
Shady indeed.

All of my local stores were "out of stock" yet every one of their competitors had plentiful stock. Yes, it could be due to the coupon, of course, but I doubt that. I even had one employee (he was new and the store had just opened a few weeks ago) tell me that they had gotten a corporate memo to send them back to the warehouse. He didn't know why.

Luckily my local OfficeMax had plenty in stock and gladly price matched with no questions asked.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lost2030:
Contacted 4 Staples stores near me on Wednesday and they were out of stock, so I went to Best Buy and they had some but the manager didn't accept the coupon. I decided to call customer service at Best Buy to see if they approved the coupon...the lady on the phone was just a ***** and sounded so tired of speaking to me and that was only like a 3 minute call. Today I went to Staples and they only had 1, open box of course, so I went to Office Max and they don't carry it in stores. I almost gave up, but decided to call Best Buy once more. This rep actually took her time to explain the policy and told me what she could do to help me in getting it price matched. She said she would contact a few Staples stores within a 25 mile radius of me and as long as they had 1 I could use the coupon. I told her about the store that had the open box Galaxy Tab and she said she would call that store and if they tell her they have it she would price match even though it's an open box... ended up getting the SGT 10.1 for $100 less! :)
