Preordered the 8GB day of keynote thru play store, still haven't gotten a credit card charge or tracking number email. So I called around...

Neither Sam's Club in Anchorage, AK has received a shipment, 2 of 3 gamestops have ONE but they're reserved.
[Nexus 7 General] GAZ082:
Hi guys. Any site that accepts Payplay or non US VISA? I plan to take the Nexus shipped to CA and then to Argentina. Visited some websites and they either do not accept PAYPAL and only work with US VISA or the CC and shipping address must be the same... bummer...
[Nexus 7 General] karnovaran:
Didn't try them.
[Nexus 7 General] liamR:
B&H do that, but they will have it in stock only at September.
[Nexus 7 General] TiltedAz:
I'm late to the game. Looks like no one has them here in Phoenix, AZ. I called Staples and the clerk had no idea when they would arrive.

And I should add... %$^ you Google for adding sales tax and shipping for online purchases.
[Nexus 7 General] Koui:
Just placed a pre-order on walmart.com with a July 25th delivery date. 90 day return policy and 97 cents shipping. I'm hoping since Sam's club had some stock that Walmart will ship soon. At least it's easy to cancel the order if one pops locally.

Just picked up a Nexus 7 at my local Sams Club!
[Nexus 7 General] mrich137:
Chicagoland. The following sams clubs have the following stock:

6227 - Batavia - 4

6464 Des Plains - 1

8198 - Wheeling - 5

6339 - Crystal Lake 5.

I just got the stock check before I picked one up in des plaines

Just picked one up from the Sams Club in Frederick, Maryland. They had 5 in stock, but now they have 4. I went to the back where they sell the tablets and the guy working the floor said they couldn't sell the Nexus 7 because of "the Lawsuit" with Apple. So on my way out, I decided to stop by the customer service and asked them to look up the Item number. Sure enough, they had 5 in stock. So if you do check a sams Club, make sure you tell them to look up the item number for you on the computer. I almost walked out because that guy didnt know what the hell he was talking about.
[Nexus 7 General] JGZinv:
Phone up J&R since my order was placed on backorder a while ago.... they claim another 7 to 10 days to get stock in.

Though that rather felt like the usual canned response.

Anyone else gotten something different out of them?
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
On a whim... seriously, a whim- I wasn't planning on getting one when I woke up today... I stopped at a Gamestop in Buffalo, NY. I asked if they had any, they asked if I pre-ordered. I said no, and the clerk said "lemme see what I can do". I said I was looking the a 16gb model. He sold me the one he'd pre-ordered. He said he could wait a couple days. I presume they get a commission. So, the first place I stopped, success.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
Their canned response for me was the next few weeks. They only got 50 in on Friday and shipped those out to the first 50 preorders. They did say that the person who can get the exact date they will get their units and tell you where in line your preorder is won't be in until Monday so I'm going to call them again on Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] iPhoneSlayer:
Just picked the last one from Office Depot in Sugar Land, TX! I went to Game Stop first and they said I can pre order it and should get it August 8. So I went to Office Depot and the guy said they have some in stock but can't sell it because it's not released yet. I told him to ask his manager and he said that do have it but only one, and if I wanted it. I said hell ya and now that baby is mine. Word of advise, don't believe any sales people on the floor; they're dumb. Always ask for the manager.

Now my SG3 is coming Monday. It's going to be a fun couple of days :o
[Nexus 7 General] cchant:
Staples is now showing out of stock online. I hope I made my order on time this morning.

The email confirmation and order status still say deliver on 7/17
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Sams Club did the same thing to me. The guy on the floor said they didnt have them and if they did they couldnt sell them because of a lawsuit between google and apple. I made the customer service check and they had 5 in stock. About to root soon!!
[Nexus 7 General] ianPhillips1:
Picked mine up around Noon @ a Sams Club in Goldsboro NC. Called and they said they had them , but only the 16gb, win for me, thats the one I wanted :)

Got there 30 minutes later for the guy in the electronics dept to tell me that he had no idea what i was talking about pointed at the tablet display and said these are the only tablets we have...... Try back in a week or so. Went about to grab some misc stuff while calling staples, office depot ect. only to walk back 15 minutes after and he comes running up to me with one in his hand, they had 5 in the back and only one guy (the manager) even knew they were there. Everyone within earshot were saying "Whats that?" "What did he just buy?":o

P.S. - Rooted and getting ready to try on the modaco rom for starters.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I wonder when Costco will sell it? There are a lot more of those than Sams Club's.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Currys

I emailed Currys yesterday regarding the broken Order View link clearly stating that it had been broken for at least 3 days at that stage. I got a response today from them saying that they weren't aware of any problems and that it must have been a temporary thing. Needless to say I pointed out strongly that he hadn't read my email as this problem was far from temporary and to not respond to me in future without first reading my email as it frustrating enough waiting at least a day before getting a response let alone one that doesn't even tackle the issues being raised.

The other part of the email stated that they still aren't expecting the deliveries until 19/7. In my response I pointed out that yesterday afternoon they updated the Currys and PC World websites to give a 16/7 expected date and that assuming that was correct then why I wasn't I getting mine until 19/7 given that I have had mine on pre-order for 2 weeks now.

I await someone's response on Monday, or maybe not.
[Nexus 7 General] Asovse1:
Oh my goodness, I am absolutely amazed at how many people in this thread are from Edmonton, then how many are from Alberta!!

I was planning to pick up an N7 from the States when I leave for Seattle on Tuesday, but then I stumbled upon this thread this morning. Discovering that so many Memory Express', Staples had sold them already shocked me. I was mad at myself, too. So I called up a local Staples, and the two Memory Express' in the city, and they were sold out. Hope came when the downtown one had three in stock.

I managed to snag one immediately.

To any Edmontonians out there: THERE ARE TWO IN STOCK AT STAPLES CITY CENTRE (101 St/104 Ave NW)

[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
I went to Sams this morning and they said they hadn't gotten any in. If I go back tonight, who should I ask? Should I have them check in the back?
[Nexus 7 General] AtropineNa:
This is a trending place to buy the N7, check out the thread about MacMall http://slickdeals.net/f/4882390-Nexus-7-w-no-tax-free-shipping-at-Macmall
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Try nowinstock too.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Sorry just got back from a beer run. Yes when you go in to Sams Club, go to where you normally purchase the memberships ( Customer Service Desk, also where they sell the tobacco). Just ask them if they can look up an item number for you and tell them Item Number 793929. If they see some, they will be locked up in the cage in the back room. Don't bother talking to anyone on the floor. They wont know. Good Luck, and let us know if they had no clue as well.
[Nexus 7 General] karnovaran:
Got one. Three left now.

Just picked mine up at Sam's in Des Plaines, IL. Yaay, charging now then will root.

Got it at the Sam's club in coral springs Florida :-) they had 5 well after me 4 left lol
[Nexus 7 General] Radukk:
West Houston Sam's IH-10 and Highway 6 has 5 in stock, just did inventory check at IH-10 and N.Fry. On my way baby.
[Nexus 7 General] kpjimmy:
Just ordered one through Macmall LOL!! Kinda ironic. No tax or shipping (FedEx gound-3-7 days). Well no tax in TX, but tax supposedly in NY, GA, And CA that I know of.

Slated to ship on 7/17.
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
Damn I already left. I will try that tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] KiroDawg:
Frys now seems to have it, for anyone that has a Frys gift card or something. I still am stuck with my BH Photo order, not sure if I should cancel tomorrow. I just have not found a place that has free shipping and no tax.
[Nexus 7 General] thunderstruck!:
What's the Fry's item number? I looked this morning and didn't see it, so went to Sam's instead. If they have it, that means they will have cases for it too.

You have to love all these BS excuses the store employees are coming up with...

"The FCC put an injunction on it."

"Apple is suing Google."

"This device doesn't exist."
[Nexus 7 General] meisjen26:
Second this, I got mine in Baltimore.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Lol, I know. Hey it's a good thing for most of us because if they knew they had them in stock, they would have probably been sold out.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
True. I'm actually kind of surprised that these aren't being snatched up by employees. Based on all the posts, every retail store only has about 5-10, with 5 being the average. It's a pretty low price and a very well equipped tablet, but it seems like they are all going to actual customers. On similar products, the employees hide them all ahead of time.
[Nexus 7 General] buggatti:
Does the south houston branch have it
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
True that is strange. I like the 2 year warranty Sam's club offers for $20. Although I am not sure how easy it is to bring something back on warranty. Hopefully I never find out.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
You know, I almost bit on that. I was surprised it was so cheap.

I declined though since I'm not a Sams Club member. I used a co-workers card to get it :angel:... I don't know if they link the warranty to the member or not, or if I would have a problem trying to get it fulfilled down the road.

[Nexus 7 General] david279:
anyone know how much gamestop is charging for their extended warranty?
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
After reading about Sams Club warranty, this is how it works. You have 15 days to return it against defects to Sams Club. The Nexus 7 comes with a 1 year warranty in which if it is defective, you need to contact Asus. (This is for the two year warranty and without the two year warranty.) After the first year, if you did purchase the two year warranty, then you take it back to Sam's Club. But by then, hell, there's gonna be a better tablet out by then. The only reason i did it was because i signed up for a Sams club discover card which gives you $20 off your purchase. The card is 0% for the first 6 months. After that its, 14%, but i plan on paying this off as soon as i get the bill.

I have read some people have went to Sams Club and they are refusing the sales because of the injunction between Apple and Google. Well to elaborate, I was told the same thing by the person on the floor. However 10 minutes later, the customer service desk said it was fine. I even told her the guy on the floor said they couldnt sell them. She checked the computer and said it was fine. I know Google did block the POS systems the day they told Game stop to hold off. Perhaps these people dont realize its been lifted. Hell, call google and ask them if there is an injunction in place.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
They told me that I wasn't in the first batch, but that they expect to get more in soon, probably next week. I originally chose the totally free "Surepost" before because I was just rushing to get my order in, as Slickdeals tends to ruin good deals quick. ;) Since it was already delayed, I figured I would ask about upgrading the shipping. Since I live in Connecticut, the rep said that there was no point in upgrading past the standard UPS shipping, as I would almost certainly receive the item the next day anyways with UPS shipping. And on top of that, they upgraded my shipping to the UPS for free. Saved another buck!!! :silly:

I'm going to call back Monday to check on my status again. I've been holding off buying it at other locations due to the massive discount of no shipping, tax, 15$ coupon, and Discover CB. But I really do want the device... lol.
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
I think ima go back to Sam's tomorrow and go straight to CS. Hopefully they tell me they are there. I just need the item number?
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Yep give them Item #: 793929. If they try to give you crap, I would tell them that other Sams club have been selling them without any issues. Heres the Frederick, MD store number (301) 698-1692 that sold me mine and another guy on here (Tell them to call the store). I wouldn't leave that store without one!! :)
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
Well I went to the store once on Friday and once today and just asked the rep on the floor next to the tablets. both times they said that they haven't received any and they should get them in the the next few weeks..So I don't have verification that they actually have them.

I will go to CS on Sunday and let you guys know!
[Nexus 7 General] jonyrace:
Picked one up along with a Sam's Club membership this morning no issues at all.

Feeling a bit lucky
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Definitely don't ask the rep on the floor. The rep I talked to on the floor said the same thing to me that they didn't have them and couldn't sell them. Time for me to chill and have a few beers. :D
[Nexus 7 General] ateebtk:
So I've ordered my nexus 7 16gig via www.walmart.com The website said that it ships 7/25/2012 Hopefully that is true.
[Nexus 7 General] ptelder:
Yep. At the time (around 11am Saturday):

Staples' site said no local stores were selling it.

Office Depot's site wasn't showing store stock info at all. When I called them on the phone they said nexus shipments for the entire region had been delayed and were expected by Tuesday.

Fry's.com and GameStop were just offering preorders.
[Nexus 7 General] sorcio46:
There is a store in UK (or at least in Europe) which has international (or at least EU borders) shipping?

I just picked one up fron sams in Grandview, Mo when i got there they said they had 2 left one in my hand and i have a feeling the other one was on display. Even got a 15$ gift card for being military and and signing up, used towards the tab and it came out to 270 after taxes and 2yr replacement warranty.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Wow, only 15 days? Costco gives you 90 days, and has been known to go beyond that (they did for us on an HP TV after HP refused to do anything).
[Nexus 7 General] thunderstruck!:
Did a quick search in this thread and didn't see it, but when I signed into my Google account with the one I bought at Sam's today I got an email telling me they gave me a $25 Play Store credit.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
The $25 credit is universal. You do NOT have to buy it from the Play Store to qualify. They haven't said when it will end (just says "limited time"), but any Nexus 7 qualifies.
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
spoke to gamestop today. said they werent getting any more until august and they were taking preorders again. I will just wait for J&R I guess
[Nexus 7 General] buggatti:
Thanks Very Very Very Very VEry Very VEry VEry MUCH for the tip. I have ordered it too and no tax for Texas... $249 and i bought the tablet

Ship on the 17 July and i hope the make it earlier
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
You might want to call around if youve got a couple in your area, but might be too late now, first two I called today gave me that spiel that you needed a pre-order. Third one said they had it and got it from there.
[Nexus 7 General] jwlou:
Purchased at Sam's Club in Louisville, KY. Refusing my Google Play order since I still have yet to receive any info on it and I ordered during the keynote. Either way... I'm happy now lol
[Nexus 7 General] kpjimmy:
Yea I can wait and save cash on the tax and shipping lol.

Oh and just another FYI, ecost is a sister site to macmall (or vice versa lol) and they both will ship the same time (7/17) according to the site. :highfive:

EDIT: Found out that ecost charges tax in TX (boo) lol....so try each site to find out if tax gets charged or not.

Did some outside US ordered from them successfully with US address shipping service ?

I didn't cancel my B&H order just in case...
[Nexus 7 General] xastey:
I walked into Office Depot yesterday and got one.. lovely day it was, feel bad for the folks that preordered launch day
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I wouldn't sign up just for this, especially since the nearest Sam's Club is around 140 miles southeast of me in Vacaville :D Costco is much closer, 70 miles south in Santa Rosa, though in the near future we are getting one in Ukiah, which is only a 9 mile trip south, woo hoo! :D
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
Cool. When I call them up Monday to check on my order I'll see if they'll upgrade my shipping too. But one nice thing about Sure Post (yeah, I contemplated paying $1 to upgrade to UPS Ground but was too cheap) is USPS usually delivers earlier in the day than UPS so I would get the illusion of getting it earlier.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
I hear that. I was toying with the idea of the Nexus 7, read a couple sites saying there were supply issues with online ordering, wandered into a GameStop, walked out with one the clerk had pre-ordered for himself. Nice guy. I even tried to tip him $10 and he declined. They earned future business from me. They even let me apply the points to my girlfriend's super gamer plus whatever club thing.
[Nexus 7 General] satur9ine:
Thanks for the tip! Just walked into my local office depot and they had some in stock! Orlando, fl
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
No you have 15 days to return the tablet if you are not satisfied. From what i read on the Sams club website about the 2 year warranty is that the two year warranty kicks in after the standard warranty expires in which this case is one year. So it sounds like its covered for 3 years? Kind of confusing. Took the sentence's below directly from the Sams Club website. Maybe they offer 2 and 3 year warranties on different products.

Service Plans*

Products over $150 qualify**!

Begins after the manufacturer’s labor warranty expires and continues for either 2 or 3 years
[Nexus 7 General] d1gw33d:
I'd like to know if anyone got one at an actual Office Depot or Staples store in California. There's no Sam's Clubs in central Cali and I've called half a dozen Office Depots and Staples in my area and no one has any.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
While I got mine at Sams Club on Friday, I had a hold put on one at Office Depot (they wouldn't sell it to my Friday) and the manager called me 9AM Saturday to let me know I could buy it then if I wanted. I also spoke with two other ODs who had them in stock and would sell them starting yesterday. So yes. :D
[Nexus 7 General] d1gw33d:
What city / state.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
It should also be mentioned that many states are "implied warranty" states. Even if a manufacturer or chain has a 15 day return policy, your state may have laws that give remedy if you buy a clinker. This can come into play when you have a brand new device, it's defective and they won't refund your purchase, or worse, try to replace it with a "reconditioned" unit. Sometimes, it's best to just back out of a purchase, return the product and get your money back. Exercising an implied warranty can be tricky, but when you spent a few hundred dollars, it should be explored when you have a lemon.
[Nexus 7 General] lionheart7282:
just ordered 16GB from macmall.com $249 free shipping, no tax, plus 2.5% cash back from fatwallet.com for a total of $242.78 after i get my cash back of course, and i hope i get the $25 credit from Google for grand total of $217.78. cool. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
bigcrumbs.com has 2.8% for Macmall

So far office depot has the best deal for me.. including tax and free shipping is $267.49

there is a coupon for a free $15 gas card.

using bigcrumbs.com i get additional 4.2% cash back

so total 267.49 - $15 gas card - $11.23 cash back = $241.26 shipped.

quick questions regarding the gamestop deal. I hear many people talking about this geting 30% extra for doing trade-ins.
