The Sam's Club rumor is true!

The Sam's Club Rumor is true!

Here's what I did:

1. saw the rumor on xda

2. called my local Sam's Club and asked for item #793929. They had 5 on-hand

3. went to Sam's paid for and walked out with my new toy

4. canceled my order with jr.com

I did NOT preorder this through Sam's Club. I just walked in. Sam's Club actually had it for 246.84. So it was cheaper than the Play Store. My sales tax was also cheaper for some weird reason.

PROOF:
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I never said it was exclusively without a doubt. There have been a few 16GB charges but the majority have been 8GB.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
(v_v,) I guess much longer wait is worth saving the 56.30 more I would have pay form the Play store and the 32.43 I would have paid at game stop. I just wish JR.com Customer service had more info, but as of right now it looks like I might not have it until next month or longer.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
For those of you considering rejecting the package, I'd make sure Google won't still charge you for shipping...

Everyone is just assuming that will be refunded.
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
On the phone with Sams now. He says that they have 5 in stock and that no one has bought one yet since he hasn't put them out on the floor. I'm having him check the system to make sure he can sell it to me before I head up there... Hold please...
[Nexus 7 General] 18t:
believe it when i see the receipt. all stores in my area said they have stock but cant release them yet.
[Nexus 7 General] COTorrey:
there has been a couple like that, still, has the 8Gb included in shipment

looks to confirm they are getting the 8GBs out first????
[Nexus 7 General] chriszak:
Nope, No pre-charge, but I've never seen that on any on-line order I've done with that credit card either. No updates on my Google Wallet and I ordered the 16GB on June 28th @ 12:30pm.

Happy Nexusless day to all!!
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Ordered on the 28th....from play.....card just charged again!!! W00t w00t (8gb)
[Nexus 7 General] FrayAdjacent:
Ordered on 6/27 on Play Store, and FINALLY see the charge today. No update on Google Wallet, no email with shipping info.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
You're dreaming. Nobody at Google cares about 45 crybabies on an internet forum.
[Nexus 7 General] DBJohnston0104:
Sams guy put it behind the counter with my name on it! On my way!!!

Google Play = REJECTED!
[Nexus 7 General] speednub:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

The guy at Google said my order is 100% shipping today! He read off an email that any orderes

before July 1st

will be shipping today- and we should get numbers in the next few hours. Also, the latest it'll be here is Tuesday. YES.
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
does anyone know if u have to sign for this package? or can they just drop it off on ur doorstep??
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I weep for you, my friend.

[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
My sams club never got a new email... Can't sell it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I'll have you know there is at least 46 of us here! :D

EDIT: And on a serious note, they care. I'll bet you there will be articles all next week about Google Play pre-orders. You wait and see.. Google is going to get egg on their face.

Regardless, while of course the launch could have gone worse to believe it went well is delusional. Take yer meds! ;)

Dude, every post that I've seen from you in this thread has been you talking **** to everyone else. Quit being a **** and leave your negativity elsewhere. People are just excited. Go troll somewhere else.

I called up master card had them block any payment requests from Google play wallet and proceeded to get a Sam's club membership. Got the tablet + membership for $305.52. Got my Nexus 7 ^_^!!!
[Nexus 7 General] SirWill:
This Sam's club makes me want to 1) check if either of the 2 semi near me have it, and 2) Join Sam's club again. Dropped them when I moved because Costco was much closer to home. Hmmm, wonder if Costco has them.
[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
My Galaxy Nexus (delivered a couple of weeks ago) was dropped on the porch while I was away. I am expecting the same for the Nexus 7, but I still want to be there when it arrives :)
[Nexus 7 General] RexBabbs:
Just Got Mine!

Picked up 4 at Sams Club in Pineville, NC (Charlotte area.)

Sorry, Dudes!
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
I'm not a cry baby I've been rather reasonable throughout. I'm just here for ****s and giggles :-)
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Perhaps, but if they're smart they'll look at what customers are saying. Basic PR. Also this is quite a bit more than 45 crybabies...7000 posts in such a short amount of time means people are not happy.
[Nexus 7 General] Lootes:
Well i just called just about every Gamestop and Office Depot in the Los Angeles area and no luck with any stock or extra stock for me to pick up. Getting on a plane in a few hours so I guess I will have to wait a couple of weeks before I get mine.

Still can't belive that someone thought that tracking numbers would be posted on page 100 :D
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
Going to sound like a strange question, but how do you confirm the charge?

Order status is showing as "Complete" , I assume that means they've taken the cash?

Just trying to make sure I haven't got two on order by mistake (pre ordered with ebuyer but cancelled, hopefully not too late)
[Nexus 7 General] KARNAG3:
Really fed-up of reading people saying that peoplke who ordered before the first of july should get any moment a email saying that it was shipped today... 3 days in a row... *going craaazzzyy*:eek:
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Thanks, would you mind overnighting it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] pttymcgee:
To all who are *****ing and whining about the order situation from Google, please watch this and reflect:

[Nexus 7 General] raycpe:
Try Sam's club. Not sure if you guys have it in LA.
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
They'll most likely drop it off, but the Google rep I spoke to said that it depends on the carrier. So for anyone in the USA with UPS, my guess is that you will not have to sign for it.
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
Can someone who got one at sams club call my local sams. They won't sell it to me. I need proof that they can sell it. They only have the delay 12th emAil. The number is 6314470227. PLEASE
[Nexus 7 General] ShadyShane31:
so two hours ago, or 50 pages ago I was surprised at everyone's reactions, and basically saying to grow up. This thread updates so fast, I can't keep up lol...and now I'm infuriated that I could have bought one at a B&M today! Nuts....

still nothing on for me...16gb, June 27th at 2:40 e.s.t. seems like the 16gb who have seen charges, also ordered an 8gb as well, so the 8gb being processed first theory still holds water.

on another note, the case from GP always stated "Coming Soon", even from day one for me...those who have posted "with case" appear to be outside the US...is that accurate?

[Nexus 7 General] Stromos:
No I was in the US got mine on the 27th and it suggested I get a case and I did.
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
I'm in the UK and the play store says 'not available in your country'.

Hope this helps :-)
[Nexus 7 General] Lootes:
Thanks, I just looked them up, it is a bit of a drive for me. If there was one closer I could justify the membership as I would use it, but at that distance, forget it.
[Nexus 7 General] Jrockttu:
Lol

"Hi, I'm from the internet, will you sell a Nexus 7 to bsquared397? I got one at Sam's halfway across the country. Would you like to know my XDA screen name as proof?"

[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
Hahaha I mean have their store call my store and clarify. There are like 5 N7s staring me in the face :)

Just got mine from Gamestop!

http://db.tt/tyEYDh5b

I'm glad i didn't preorder from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
I heard the same thing yesterday. I really hope this one is true.
[Nexus 7 General] jfroehlich:
I'm in the US and saw at one time the option to pre-order the case.
[Nexus 7 General] Defiant81:
screw the play store. Drove to my local gamestop and picked one up today

cancelled my play order
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
Rabble Rabble Rabble

Angry mob on the way.

Personally, I'm a little disappointed myself since my friend who ordered seriously 6 days ago.. got a call already from Gamestop to pick it up ): . I ordered 27th as well. SoCal resident.
[Nexus 7 General] Kaypix:
I am a girl(if 27 counts as a girl), dumbass

*quickly writes down the note* good to remember! I'll thank you if I ever become a serial kidnapper :) And I'll take the photos using the Nexus 7! Muhaha! (although without the rear facing camera it could be a bit tricky...oh well).

I'm sure they'll have them coming out soon. Honestly this one was for my husband, I'm waiting for the ipad mini, assuming that'll happen. I'm accident prone so it is staying on HIS desk (hence the messy state of the desk). I just wrote the note, and got the tablet, and found out about the trade in deal gamestop did.

4? Really? 4??? Why do you need 4?
[Nexus 7 General] meatlocker:
SAM'S, FTW! They are limiting 1 per customer at my store for any walkin. There are 4 left. I'll have an extra when my Google order arrives.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
Yep, US and it let me order the case.

(Man, I hope that doesn't slow the order down. Case doesn't even look that great.)
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
lol i already have a list of games im going to get that will especially shine on the tablet. Im to anxious. Im taking my tent and going to gamestop. Join me
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
Lol, I have a list too: a folder of bookmarked tablet apps ordered by how badly I want to try them out. I've also worked out which paid apps I'm going to get too while leaving about $10 for future goodies. :D
[Nexus 7 General] hyperdude111:
It seems I'm not the only one with a "Nexus 7" folder on their desktop ready to quickly move everything over and test some apps.
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
I've had a tablet for quite a while now, so I'm not THAT crazy ;)

But I am anxious to try out some Tegra 3 games that I cant play right now....of course I already sold my tablet to pay for this one, so I wont have a tablet at all for a couple weeks and that kinda sucks ;)
[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
I think everyone would be thankful if you share the list :)
[Nexus 7 General] kiswa:
THIS.

Please share your lists, I have no idea what I should try out on this thing first!
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
All the ones designed specifically for Tegra are in the Nivida Tegra store. You can get the store in a free app.
[Nexus 7 General] th3drow:
Ya i havn't sold my galaxy tab 7+ yet, i bought it for like a bit over 200 with a case, so i'm hoping i should be able to get around the same when I sell it badk, has the IR, and memory card slot which people will still want on tabs.
[Nexus 7 General] noneabove:
Where is this store ? I searched for it and couldn't find :S

Edit: oh wait, isn't compatible, gotcha.. any way too look at them without having a tegra 3 tablet/phone ?
[Nexus 7 General] lanwarrior:
Including root stuff?
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
It's at tegrazone.com

Of course! (:
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
What apps are you guys looking into for the Nexus? I don't have much purchased so I'm definitely looking for some recommendations as this will be my first tablet
[Nexus 7 General] slack04:
Just sold two of these; one new and one barely used. $240 and $200 respectively. Great tablet, but Nexus blows it out of the water....
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
Since we get free $25 credit I made a list of the best tablet apps I could find that I wanted to use. Here they are.

Slopskier - (amazing HD sidescrolling game. Google it for flash version)

Galaxy Pack - Brilliant HD live wallpapers of colorful galaxies.

Radiant HD - All the HD games from this developer are amazing (and the other ones are free).

Cut the Rope HD

Tabstagram

Stick It! Player - A video player that lets you watch the video in a pop up window just like PiP (Picture In Picture) on a HDTV or like the Galaxy S III

Angry Birds Space Premium - No brainer here. The levels are alot more interesting that previous Angry Birds in my opinion.

Apparatus - A physics sandbox game that has quite a large community of people sharing their creations. Hours of fun according to reviews.
[Nexus 7 General] Huey85:
Don't forget Dead Trigger! It's an awesome fps with zombies. We all secretly love zombies. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Shadowgun

Deadtrigger

:D
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
I had a Transformer Prime and Shadowgun and it didn't come off as too amazing. Trying to shoot bad guys with touch controls just doesn't feel as precise and deadly.

Maybe if you have a controller?

Well, I'm just excited that I have some confirmation that I'm getting them soon. Probably Monday hopefully.
[Nexus 7 General] dockinj:
Confirmation please, and a little Thanks?

Can I just get confirmation from ANYONE who has received the email yet? I know the charges have been hitting for some of us first wavers, but has anyone seen an email with shipping confirmation? I believe this is what has occurred:

- Yesterday we were told that the first wave is with the shipping vendor and should be sent very soon - not true and probably due to the lack of staff at Google Play help desk yesterday

- Today we see charges coming through now at 1100 AM Pacific US time This is because they are not processing these for shipment. I know this is extremely simplified but the pre-order is charged by one team, it goes to the next team or automated task which generates the individual shipping process

The only problem I have with the above is that some that received their charge hours ago should have received an email confirmation by now? Unless possibly they are working the entire batch or pre-orders first, and charging all of the credit cards and preparing the shipment details, then they push one big magic button and we all get our email at the same time?

Can I get a little love here with the Thanks for a Newby?
[Nexus 7 General] jasphair:

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL

------------------------------------------------

We're now shipping Nexus 7 preorders. The first wave of orders are going out today

and all preorders are scheduled to ship within the next 3 business days.

Once your order has shipped you’ll receive a confirmation email and tracking number. Though our agents are unable to provide a specific delivery date for individual preorders, please rest assured that our shipping team is working to fulfill all orders as quickly as possible.

Devices currently found exclusively in Google Play may be sold by other retailers in the future, subject to their own pricing and availability determination.

I apologize but at this time we are not waiving shipping fees.

Thank you for your interest in Google Play!

Regards,

Matt

The Google Play Team﻿
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
I think Google needs to refund the 14 dollars for the 2 day shipping for anybody who pre-ordered from Google Play. We could all have pre-ordered from Gamestop to save shipping AND PICK IT UP TODAY!!!
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Bad, bad article. It shows a Nexus 7 with a white back.

If mine ever gets here, and it is a pre-production unit with a white back - I will be ticked...

Anybody know if shipping is refunded if the package is rejected?
[Nexus 7 General] kirbfucius:
Well that official google announcement has thoroughly pissed me off. It's not about entitlement. Ya know what? Even if it is, it's still valid entitlement. Cheers to all who have picked up their precious devices, but since I pre-ordered July 9th I have a feeling they'll say mine is second wave and not show up 'til August where I could've had it today through Gamestop.

I think the only thing stopping me from submitting a cancel payment through my AMEX is that Sam's does not accept AMEX...
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I suggest Blue.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
I think so. Posts back an agent said that if it was rejected at the door you would get a full refund.

usually im not a big fan of cases for anything but for $6 shipped why not eh?

i was looking at the reviews, it seemed earlier it was priced at $299 or something lmao :laugh:

Nope, I ordered mine with case back on the 27th and I am sitting here in Dallas, Georgia USA. Wish I hadn't now that everyone says it will be delayed but yes I ordered that ugly Google case without thinking.

[Nexus 7 General] TBone799:
I have been lurking on this forum for over a week now and I have gotten pretty salty. Google has handled this like crap. I don't care that other people have received the tablet, I care that I dont have my tablet. I pre-ordered the 16 Gig on the 28'th after reading initial reviews and deciding I wanted the extra storage space. I love android and actually bought the Galaxy Nexus about a month ago, but this is BS. Google lost my direct business. I initially ordered from the Play Store under the impression that EVERYONE will have to order through the play store and therefore EVERYONE will have to pay taxes and shipping charges. I have come to grips with the fact that I will not be one of the first consumers to get the device which means I am cancelling my order from the Play Store. My objective now is to find the Nexus 7 for the cheapest price.

[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
I just want to point out they seem to be doing charges for 8GB from the 27th through the first right now. They will then probably start doing 16GB orders, so everybody just calm down. :D

They will more than likely all be charged shortly.
[Nexus 7 General] :
That's like saying Game Stop had some video game and sold it early(before the street date, given to them by Ubisoft or whomever) and thus should give Amazon customers money because Amazon stuck to said street date. It's unfortunate that some retailers are selling it before they should, but it's not Google's fault.

Sams Club

I got my units by physically walking into three local Sams stores and getting the electronics manager in a face to face. One store said they didn't know what I was talking about. One store had 5 he said that they could not be sold before Monday. The last store was a charm.

Moral of the story, DO NOT CALL. Go to the store and get one on one with somebody who doesn' have their head up their butt. Sorry to all of you who do not live near a Sams.

Anyway, that's how I scored.
[Nexus 7 General] beatlesfan01:
Just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered on the 5th around noon CST in the USA from play store and I JUST got billed. Not the initial hold that went away, but money actually deducted from my account in the amount of $227.90(8GB). I'll report back when/if I get an email.
