Figures this would happen two days after I finally bite the bullet and just order through Negri after waiting a while for a deal to pop up somewhere.

Oh well, at least I will have it earlier.

Very nice find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
The site offers great deals, but customer service is practically non-existent. Your credit card will be charged immediately when you make a purchase, but the product might not ship for two weeks (which is what happened in my case so it took three weeks in total to get the product to my door). There is no number to call and don’t expect a reply to any emails you send them for two days, if at all. Know that all sales are final, so, if you are in the US and have a problem with a grey market product, which this phone is, you will have to ship it internationally to get it fixed.

Caveat emptor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazsheriff:
On it

I just bought a used one on craigslist last weekend for $500 so when I saw this last night I was a bit pissed off I didn't wait longer. I put a craigslist ad last night for $550 and had someone offer $600 this morning if I delivered it to him (20 mins away). I literally just deposited the money now and ordered this one for $530 brand new....a bit crazy but now I won't be OCD about my phone trying to figure out if any scratches were there before me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QUEDRO:
Just pulled the trigger!

geez, I hope nothing goes wrong with my order. Looks like the customer service suck based on the comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazsheriff:
I've noticed some bad feedback but I've also seen many people have no issues whatsoever. I think it's mostly people who get impatient and don't read the whole taking up to 6 business days to ship thing. Also, a lot of items are specifically stated as refurb where as these are said to be new in retail packaging. I read somewhere using paypal is a good move since you get the buyer protection if the item is broken etc.

My gut feeling says this deal is some cellphone reseller trying to clear it's stock and dailysteals will gather up a bulk orders and order a high volume from them at the end of the 24 hour period. So our money is used first to buy what we ordered and I'm assuming that's why it may take up to 6 business days to ship to us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
I purchased a new open box GN for $529 but returned it once I learned (after contacting Samsung) that the warranty is only valid if the receipt shows it was purchased in the country it will be repaired in. I was surprised as Samsung US never asked for my receipt when I sent my Nexus S in. Bought one from Negri instead so I have a warranty if anything goes wrong in the next 12 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
i think that most sites like dailysteals and 1saleaday you are paying for the cheap price, not quick shipping and customer service ;)

it sucks to wait and the tracking is usually terrible but the item does arrive eventually:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
I'd be all over this if I didn't have my extended battery which I need and would kill the white color .

Damn....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can get the titanium one...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Lol I have one already. Just would love a white one with a white extended battery door
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I'm already getting antsy...these are going to be two very long weeks waiting on the shipping. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QUEDRO:
No joke....these guys really do not update *ish

I had not received any updates emails. No wonder the service is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
Has anyone received their phone yet or at least see their status updated? Mine still says it's open and I was gonna give them a few more days before I start emailing them. I ordered mine very early in the sale so I hope that I got into the first batch.

All of us that ordered should keep this thread updated so we can hopefully get	a rough idea of when we can expect our new phones :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
They posted it up at 9pm Pacific time and my brother ordered it at 9:15pm. I think he's one of the first to order it, but still hasn't received it yet. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] its_ritz:
Does anyone know anyone who picked one of these up during a previous dailysteal sale?

I'm curious what build this will come with after reading multiple threads on the yakju vs yakjuxx builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehacker010:
Just so you know, DailySteals took a LONG time to ship on the first deal and I NEVER got a tracking email. However, I was able to track it by going to UPS's tracking website and using my order number as the reference number. Remember to select "Track by Reference".

The version I got from them was a South Korean model with the Google build on it. However, others reported getting one from China, so it depends what batch you get. I believe everyone I spoke with had the Google build on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I would give it 6 business days before you contact them. My status still says open as well (I check it way too much for my own good) but their site said the 6 business day thing with the occasional slight delay depending on the product. I ordered mine at 11am EST so I'm hoping I'll be on the first batch of shipping.

I'm going to try the order number with the UPS site as someone here has mentioned. Let's definitely post on this thread when we see any updates and/or receive our phones to give the rest of us a good idea of when to expect our goodies.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikejaret:
i got my nexus the first time they ran this...it took around 8 business days to ship and i got no email about the shipment, i had to login and update the status on the site to see the tracking number!

REMINDER pickup some 3rd party insurance like www.toughcell.com....i have never cracked a phones screen, and i have had TONS of android phones, third day i had this phone the NON gorilla glass cracked...just got a new one from ToughCell yesterday!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
I ordered mine on the morning of the first, no update so far.

Here is what I do know

They have been shipping some openbox, with the charger replaced, and some sealed with a uk/us adapter.

Some have been korean built, some chinese.

First batch was latin american yakjuxw, and second were the uk yakju.

First batch went out within a week, second batch took several weeks, as they "ran out of stock (aka ordered after selling)"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
I tried tracking by reference on the ups website using my order number and got nothing. Im hoping then that they just used fedex and it's on its way lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Does dailysteal ship items to Canada and how much for the shipping ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QUEDRO:
and I bet we all ordered white version which makes even harder them to fulfill the requests.

ahrr.. I start not to like all this...

it is on sale now on integrontech.com for $549 shipped

my friend ordered yesterday and they already shipped it for Miami
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
This is taken from the FAQ section of the site:

We ship to all U.S. territories but we do not ship internationally. Please tell your pen pal in Belgium that we're very sorry.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

Also, as far as shipping goes we don't technically hit our 6th business day til Friday. Assuming there's no delays we should have our stuff shipped before the weekend with an expected arrival for next week depending on where in the states you are. I believe I read dailysteals is located in New York. So let's be patient! Others who took part of the first dailysteals gnex admitted to an average wait of about two weeks (about one week before it got shipped + actual time of shipping).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
Had to ask after reading the other slickdeals posts mentioning delays.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomnameftw:
Good to see. Hopefully it arrives by next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
I actually have an LTE nexus here for my app work, so it's not a big rush.

This one tho, its for my personal phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cLOUDFAn:
fyi

amazon.co.jp sells docomo sim-LOCKED galaxy nexus (SC-04D) for ~$330 (no contract needed)

if anyone wants to go through the trouble of ordering from Japanese website and trying to sim-unlock it

i'd say that's the best deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Thanks for updating us! Really happy to see they were able to get back to you via email in a timely manner. Have always heard their customers service leaves a lot to be desired but recently read on their website they are expanding to a bigger location and hiring extra people to improve on shipping speed and customer service.

So if they are shipping out of New York before the weekend and I am in Miami I am expecting mine to be here by Wednesday the latest. Thankfully I have my Nexus One as a back up phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
I was really hoping that I would be able to get my phone by this weekend since I have the time this weekend to play with it but for the price I can't complain. Im glad though that it doesn't sound like there will be an extra delay though and being in chicago I should get it quick.

Does anyone know for sure it will be shipped ups?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Anybody get theirs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutt:
Negative. Ordered mine on the first, around 8pm. I live in NY, so I'm guessing once it actually ships, it won't take too long to get here (site says shipping from NY, I believe...)

sent from the white unicorn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
Nope, they told me yesterday they will be shipping them all today and tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
looking like tomorrow as my order status is still "open" with no shipping info yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
That doesnt mean it still hasnt shipped though. I have read that daily steals has been known to ship an ítem out and not send a tracking email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Yea I know. I'm not talking about email though. I'm talking about the order status on your dailysteals account hasn't changed from open. I've read of people not getting emails but when they log into dailysteals their account is updated with shipping info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] its_ritz:
Still no update for me either. It's day 7. The anticipation is killing me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutt:
Ah, me too! I keep checking a million times a day. Cannot wait for it to get here.

edit: just checked the site again, mine is no longer an open order, they've given me a tracking number... No email notification, though. (don't really care about that...). However, the number they provide me with says 'could not be tracked, blah blah' .

sent from the white unicorn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomnameftw:
Same. Mines finally got shipped, but did not get a email notification. At least I

know it's finally on its way. The wait has been excruciating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] its_ritz:
I see that mine has been updated with the shipping info. Big sigh of relief here. While I normally long for the weekend, I can't wait until the beginning of next week.

Edit: I found out why the tracking number isn't active. If you google your tracking number, it shows that the tracking label has been printed, but it hasn't been picked up and scanned at UPS. Technically its scheduled to be shipped, but hasnt left the origin location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andy769:
Mine just switched from open to shipped as well. Im excited!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
Says shipped here as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindrich:
Haizz... mine still says open!!! I keep checking this like a gazillion times a day. This is excruciating!

I know nothing about this site though and question their credibility.

DAILY STEALS Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I got a tracking number from the daily steals site but on UPS is says:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Does yours say:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

Thats what mine says when I click on tracking. Also it shows "Shipped" on Daily Steals.

I don't know if they have actually shipped it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
They just made the shipping label. UPS haven't picked them up yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SEALBoy:
Looks like most people are getting theirs shipped today. I got my shipping confirmation around 12:30PM EST, although as of right now (5:20PM EST), UPS just says that a shipping label has been created.

For the record, my order went through at 7:40AM EST on March 1st.

---------- Post added 10th March 2012 at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was 9th March 2012 at 11:55 PM ----------

All they have done is went online to UPS and created a shipment. Once you create a shipment the shipping number is created. BUT, the package itself has never been scanned so UPS doesn't even have the package. Once they give the package to the UPS store, UPS driver, etc...they scan it and it shows up online....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What do you mean by "need the extended battery"? My normal usage does not require an extended battery. The GSM model is decently frugal with battery compared to the LTE model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
Mine just left the warehouse too with everyone elses it sounds like. Mine is scheduled by the end of the day on Tuesday :)

I am going to see how the phone is before I start looking at getting an extended battery as I have no problem charging it up every night if it needs it. What kinds of cases are good for this phone? Right now I have a case mate barely there case for my galaxy s2 and I really like it so I think Im gonna see if I can get one for the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZWarChild:
While looking up info on the phone I kept running into posts about the battery life. I have no idea on what people are doing with theirs I leave mine on a charge most of the day be it at work or home. But from the info. I was finding it said this phone was chewing um up and spitting um out so if it was going to make sense to do it right away I was just going to do it.

Ya and what about cases or ghost armour?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Get ghost armor or some other film you prefer for the screen. It will scratch. I have the ghost carbon fiber film on the body of the phone but only out of lack of other options. Greatly prefer the clear film for the full body protection like I did for my former nexus s but they don't offer that for this phone. Looks kind of cheesy but some cases can scratch your phone if dirt gets lodged between the case and the body of the phone. Extended battery doors for the OEM 2000mah battery aren't white so it might look funky. As for cases I have the sgp Neo hybrid. Its no otter box defender but its the best looking thin case you can get IMO. It even retains the phones thinness and shape. It will fit the phone with extended GSM battery, albeit very snugly. Ive not used it yet but I just bought a case mate tough as well. Need an all black case to fit with using my phone in uniform and need a beefier option when I'm outdoors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Btw... the cruzer lite tpu cases fit great and are very reasonably priced. I prefer the original style fit to the androidified ones with my GSM extended but to each their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
+1 for the cruzerlite. The ditztronic is also an amazing case. Screen protectors are a matter of opinion. I like the matte because it doesn't collect dust or oil, but most people don't like the orange peel effect of the case. If you like the clear the Halo ones on Amazon are pretty good. You just have to get it on just right because it fits right up to the edge of the curved glass...so if you get it too close to the edge, the screen protector might lift up around it.

Battery life for me is amazing. I get up at 6am everyday and go to bed around 11pm and have never gone to sleep with less than 35% battery life with moderate use. With light to moderate use I have gone 2 days and 6 hours without a charge.

so sad i missed out on this deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcase:
I am interested in knowing if its yakju or if its one of the yakju** variants.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nj786:
what is yakju??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
If you have a yakju, u can call google and give them ur imei and they will send u free stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nj786:
What kind of free stuff? And what does yakuju do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Ha, I missed out on this deal too. I pitched it last time the site was selling and she gave me a hard time. I bought it anyway and didn't tell her, and the next day she told me to get the phone. Mines working fine other than having a bit of a washed out screen. I pitched this deal again since her handmedown nexus s was locking up with ics. I didn't buy this time but she again came to me about a new phone. I would have loved a white one but since I missed out I got one for 570 on expansys. About 20 more bucks after shipping, but it came in 3 days. I waited 3 weeks for my daily steals gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuto0503:
never knew about yakuju but if it means free stuff I really hope mine is a yakuju
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
There isn't any free stuff he's messing with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andy769:
While we wait for our phones has anybody in the us thought about getting any kind of warranty for the galaxy nexus? I've heard Samsung USA won't warranty our devices so I was just wondering what others were planning? Maybe square trade?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
I have been considering getting a warranty with square trade because it's the only one that I know of. I figure that I should get something though because it doesn't sound like daily steals is going to help me out at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
That's good to know! Mine won't get here til Wednesday but one of my concerns was if the phone was actually BNIB. I've read some select stories that mentioned the box was previously opened.

Can you tell us if it has US charger? Also, where the phone was built? I've heard dailysteals tends to be China & HK. Is is yakju? Did you get titanium or white?

Sorry for all the questions! :D
