No. On Average Wal-Mart FOOD items are 10% cheaper or even less than 10% in many instances & on consumert goods, they are about the same price. They gave up trying to beat everyone's prices & instituted price match awhile back instead. They used to be a significant amount less expensive, but now it's really not that big of a deal. Especially on items like meat, where I can go to Albertson's & get better quality for less. Wal-Mart isn't the "Low Cost" leader any more & if you ask me, I'd rather things be localized than deal with big cheap corporations. Much prefer main street over big box any day, even if it does cost me a bit more. BTW, Wal-Mart is also Sam's Club, same company.
[Nexus 10 General] Blueback22:
Ahhhhh! My N10 just shipped! It will be here tomorrow or Wednesday!!!!!
[Nexus 10 General] spdwiz18:
Mine too. Suppose to be here Wednesday. Yeah.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
From where? Walmart?
[Nexus 10 General] Blueback22:
No. I broke down and ordered a 16gb from the Play Store.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
Ahhh... I actually place an order at staples.com for the 32gig. Hopefully their expected delivery date is only a rough estimate and will ship sooner if and when they receive it sooner. Or I'll cancel if my local Walmart get them in sooner. Congrats guys!

Double check with UPS. Mine was supposed to be Wednesday and now it's early Tuesday.

I can't imagine a whole other day since we are about 10 miles apart.

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

Tuesday, 11/20/2012

Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:

Wednesday, 11/21/2012
[Nexus 10 General] Droid_Junky:
Can you check your Staples order status? I ordered from Staples Saturday morning. Looked at the status yesterday and it was changed to "cancelled." I called customer service and the guy said this is normal for pre-sale items. He said that I would get a phone call when it came in and another order would be placed after they made sure I still wanted it. So basically what I thought was a some deal doesn't seem to be the case.

And to get back on topic my wife has found one Walmart that insist that they will be getting a shipment in. I'm not getting my hopes up!
[Nexus 10 General] spdwiz18:
You are right. Out for delivery today. Yeah.
[Nexus 10 General] thelonghop:
Google has really hosed this release. Ive had a WM employee use the bar code to check every WM in DFW and OK and no one has it. How can the debut be delayed a week, a sticker on the shelf, and no one have any in stock? It's unbelievable.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
Maybe there waiting for the Pogo Pin charger to pass so that they can include it with the package? Wishful thinking is all.
[Nexus 10 General] Blueback22:
Did you find a shelf sticker in DFW? On Wednesday the Lewisville location told me they just got their display unit and went back to get it. While waiting ten minutes I nearly wet my pants with anticipation, but they came out and said they were thinking of something else. Booo.
[Nexus 10 General] MMcCraryNJ:
I would imagine that they either pulled their stock from brick and mortar stores to fulfill Play Store orders, or the tablet was meant to be a Play Store exclusive for a little bit. I remember everyone was crying foul during the Nexus 7 launch because they had pre-ordered direct from Google, but other people were able to walk right into Gamestop and pick one up while the pre-order people had to wait a week.

Either way it was a good decision on Google's part.
[Nexus 10 General] pickscrape:
Small world! I was there (Lewisville Walmart) on Sunday, but they told me they had no idea when it was going to be in.

I would have bought an N7 from there too if they'd have had the display model accessible, but they didn't so I got it from Highland Village instead. :)

So now when they do get the N10 in, I'm going to have to decide whether or not I would actually prefer it to the N7, which is in the process of impressing me quite a bit...
[Nexus 10 General] Blueback22:
I was hoping for a 32 gig, but got impatient and ordered the 16 gig. Of course today the 32 is back in stock on the play store! I'd bet Wal-Mart (or and B&M store) doesn't get them until after Christmas.

Whereabouts in Dallas are you?
[Nexus 10 General] thelonghop:
Yes I've seen the sticker at multiple locations.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Yeah I looked for accessories as well and couldn't find any. I really hope this isn't another gnex with zero aftermarket support.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

No way they pulled supply because there just wouldn't be time to do it. If it was going to be a Google exclusive fine, but then they should have given a different WM launch date. I just think they rushed it. They shouldn't give a launch date and say it's in WM if that's not really the plan.
[Nexus 10 General] pickscrape:
Lewisville, just up the road from the Walmart on Main St.

I really hope they get it in before Christmas! Though I suppose a bit of time will allow me to make a really good assessment of the N7. Honestly, I can see me ending up with both eventually, but I can't really afford to buy both right now. :)
[Nexus 10 General] Blueback22:
Just checked that location again. They don't know squat.

Mine just showed up!
[Nexus 10 General] GSLEON3:
Dfw walmart

I live in McKinney & work near Cleburne & have called or stopped in to every Wal-Mart anywhere between the two, more often stores near 75, 35W, 35E (only twice Ft. Worth area), 121 from Alen to the Airport & from 380 to 67.

I have left cards with several folks in electronics along with the promise of a twenty dollar bill if they put one aside & call me.

If anyone is interested, I will update or post as soon as I get a bite in Dallas or Fort Worth area.

For now, I returned the crappily built Asus VivoTab RT & picked up a Note 10.1. I'll tell you what, I may stick with it too. It is really snappy & while the N10 resolution is great, from what I hear it really lags on high def movies & graphic intense games, which is not an issue at all on the Note 10.1.
[Nexus 10 General] pickscrape:
Wow, seriously? How long is your commute? And I thought mine (Lewisville to Allen) was pretty long...
[Nexus 10 General] zdshadow:
Also one of the first tablets to sport 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. Give that processor some workspace to utilize! :D
[Nexus 10 General] gatorjon:
I was at a Walmart in Deerfield Beach FL last night. They had dismantled their tablet/e-reader display. On the display, however, was taped a piece of paper showing how the new display should be laid out. That paper showed a N10 next to an N7 on display. I had no way of getting a picture but I'll try and go back today to get one. Interestingly the paper said the design was to be implemented on 11/12 and was printed on 11/3:confused:.
[Nexus 10 General] anaxagorasbc:
I have a feeling we'll be waiting a long time, my WalmartS has had a shelf tag and a spot for the nexus 10 since days before it's release date, but still nothing there. I'm really disappointed here, and very anxious. If I hadn't already returned 3 tablets, and i'm ready to return my 4th, because they didn't wow me and have all had faults in some way, I would have just gotten it from the play store.

I have a feeling we'll be lucky to see this thing on store shelves before Christmas, or by the time staples gets them (which their website reports 8-28 days).
[Nexus 10 General] gripnrip:
I just left Walmart in South Austin and they had 2 Nexus 10s. Of course I left with 1 of them. I'm a bit concerned because it looks like the tamper tape was cut I don't know if they did that or if these are returns
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
If you werent the one that broke the seal I would exchange it. Could be do to an employee being too curious. The possibilities of something that may have been damaged from the tampering is increased. Also for me I dont like the idea of paying 500 and it not being new.
[Nexus 10 General] gripnrip:
Well it's going back. Just opened it and there were air bubbles and dust on the tablet. Turned it on and there was really bad light bleed in the bottom corner. I wonder if it was an online order somehow that was returned and put on the shelf. The other one at the store looked like it was in similar condition. I guess my wait continues.
[Nexus 10 General] wynand32:
I'm surprised the existence of ANY stock of N10's at Walmart hasn't created more excitement. I'm taking this as an indication that we might start seeing other stores receiving inventory soon. I'd love to think this weekend, but I'm not THAT crazy...
[Nexus 10 General] sitnlow4life:
Can you give us the SKU number for the tablet ?

it would be easier to locate

Thanks
[Nexus 10 General] gripnrip:
My wife was heading out to run some errands so I sent it back with her to return. When she gets back I'll look up the sku from the return receipt.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

That's odd the receipt does not have a 9 digit sku like on the Nexus 7 page on the Walmart website. My receipt just shows serial number and UPC.
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
I got one and here is the SKU

Ok so I just registered just to let you guys know I got the first and so far only Nexus 10 shipment to the Lynnwood WA Walmart. After seeing th post above I called in and found out they got one in tonight , JUST ONE!!! I asked them to hold it for me and 30 min later I was walking oiut the door with my baby. I am about to turn it on but wanted to write this first!!!

the SKU is GTP8110MVGR

Now that you all have it, GOOD HUNTING, may you ALL get and bountiful a hunt as I have had!!!

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!

from one VERY happy boy!

:cowboy:
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
I found a store in my area that had two in stock yesterday and sold them both. Guy was very knowledgeable.

I guess I will have to keep calling. I called every store in my area, it was a lot of stores and one confirmed they actually had them and sold them.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
Was the seal broken? Which walmart is that? I live in the Bothell area and there is one off of 164th
[Nexus 10 General] gripnrip:
Are you sure that's not the serial number? I'm looking over the receipt for the one I found and returned and I don't have that SKU on it. I am also curious if the seal was broken like the ones I found.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
Doesn't look like a SKU#.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Looks like this is the SKU#

551006242

From the picture online, that GTP# is on the tag. Not sure what it is but searching found the other# I provided is the SKU.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
Was the seal already broken?
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
I didn't get one, just info I found online.
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
This post is in response to each post since my last post :)

That is the sku on the product box. I gave my wife the receipt for safe keeping.

It was the 24 hour lynwood walmart, but as I said I got their first and so far ONLY one. I do not know when they will get more.

I think on of the two seals was broken... one was totally intact. The guy at the counter might have broken one seal in front of me but I was TOOOOOO excited to remember!!!! LOL The unit was perfect ... there is a plastic protective cover on the class you must remove, there were no fingerprints on that or any other part of the plastic covering the whole unit ... there was dust under the cover ... but once I took the plastic off the screen was PERFECT no dust under the glass.... the guy at electronics BOB deserves a raise for being awesome and nice!!!:laugh:

I will take a look at the receipt later when my wife tells me where it is.

again GOOD LUCK FELLAS!!! :highfive:
[Nexus 10 General] sprke:
Found one finally in one of the local Walmarts here. They had 2 in stock.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
So it looks like all the info so far on the SKU is wrong. I finally found a Walmart that had a tag on display.

Is there a reason why the guy online who posted a picture whited out the SKU ? Not sure what the big deal is.

Looks like the other numbers provided were on the tag, but I am guessing the real SKU is under the bar code as nomal and seen here.

SKU# 88727601774
[Nexus 10 General] LiqrSicc:
First Walmart I called had 2 32GB models. Picked mine up right away. They even let me turn it on to check for light bleed.

I live in Sacramento, Ca and blessed to have about 15 Walmart locations within a 20mi radius.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
I wish I could find one. I called every single walmart in a 30 mile radius and only one said they had two yesterday and sold them. :(

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Where ?
[Nexus 10 General] sprke:
Omaha, NE
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
So is your tablet backlight bleed free/flawless? I can see some on mine with black screen in the dark, mostly located near the corners. Again only viable on totally black screen.

Not sure if that is normal with these n 10's?
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
I visited 2 in central NJ this evening -- both had Nexus 7's in the glass door lockup cabinet, and a blank space next to them with the shelf label for Nexus 10's. I checked with salespeople at both locations -- one said they had loads of phone calls, but no units yet. The other told me they had 2 come in last week -- and sold them the same day they were put on the shelf. Both told me they get new shipments in daily, and that I should call each day to see if they had arrived.

I want to get mine soon - but thinking that I may wait a bit and see if Walmart (or Staples) get them in stock soon. I like the idea of having more than 15 days in which to return the unit, not having to pay for postage, and not worrying about a restocking fee if I decide to return the N10 in the first month (I really wanted BestBuy to carry it so I could have a full 60 days of price protection and return privileges).

Just have to see how I feel about this each day -- whether to wait another day to see it show up locally, or order from Google... :confused:
[Nexus 10 General] pangbibby:
Saw some at my local Walmart in Eau Claire, WI. They only had the 32gb version. Didn't have my phone to take a pic though :(
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
If I can't find it tomorrow, I am ordering.
[Nexus 10 General] JasonGeiger:
They had one available at a Walmart in Wichita, Ks. Nothing on display to demo though.
[Nexus 10 General] LiqrSicc:
Well I take that back. I now that I'm in a dark room I can see the light bleed on the bottom corners :(
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
I finally found one!!!

A lot of calling stores and finally found someone who knows what they are doing and checked every store for me on the system.

I got one in the Seabrook, NH store and there is one left available there.

The guy said there is some in Methuen, MA, Danvers, MA & Salem, NH

My seals were both in tact and I only have some minimal light bleed in the lower right hand corner in Landscape mode. In real life use, I can't even notice it.
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
Congrats man:)
[Nexus 10 General] wynand32:
I just want to add, since it's come up a few times: every LCD-based tablet I've tried (which has been most of them) has had some light bleed. The only tablets that haven't have been the Toshiba Excite 7.7 and Samsung GT 7.7 because of SAMOLED. So, unless it's really, really bad (worst so far has been the Toshiba Excite 10), I've learned to just accept it as a matter of course.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
I agree!
[Nexus 10 General] atg284:
I consider a bright patch/flare in one corner pretty bad.if you can barely see it in a dark room blasting at 100% then I can see your point but if its all the time, its defected..

when the whole device is pretty much just a screen it should not have light bleed
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
Well I can see my backlight bleed on the app screen at around 50% brightness ... same lower right corner with some to a less noticeable level in other areas.

It seems mine and most other people reporting the backlight bleed are reporting the bottom right corner to be the main offender. Really only noticeable on black screen like app screen but it is annoying.

My wife's asus slider as a comparison has almost no light bleed at all.

If walmart had more stock I would he more open to an exchange (we have a 15 day window right?).

But calling in to find stock and then hoping that new one is better and does not have more annoying flaws like stuck pixels makes me want to keep it simple and keep this one.

You other guys with light bleed, what are you thinking of doing?

Btw it took over 2 months and 9 exchanges for me to get 3 monitors with acceptable light bleed for my pc setup. Much happier with the ones I have than had, not sure I want to go down a similar road with this tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
Sounds like the same issue with mine. I checked out the light bleed app and did notice it on the left hand corner too, but it was much much less than the right hand corner which doesn't seem all that bad to me. Every LCD screen I own has some sort of LB problem. It doesn't bother me and I have perfect vision.

I am keeping mine. When it comes to exchanging product cause of a bit of smal issues, I wind up getting worse issues. I have learned to live with small issues as long as they are small. If a defect is bad enough, I will exchange but I have had worse luck when exchanging to get something better and not worth the hassle.

Walmart told me normally it is a 15 day window on electronics, but with the xmas season, he said you have till 15 days after xmas since people give most things as gifts and won't be opened till then.

I am keeping mine. I thought of buying both they had and taking the best one, but that is a real hassle.
[Nexus 10 General] atg284:
I've already called and should have my replacement shipping soon.

I usually buy big things like TVs and monitors at a physical store because of the penential for dead pixels let alone light bleed.
[Nexus 10 General] kev30:
Hey guys,

Thanks to this thread I can confirm my walmart has it. I was able to find it at Walmart in San Jose, CA. There were two left. I snagged one. The seals were intacted. Total came out to be 540.79 with 8.375% tax :(

Walmart has a 15 days return policy on electronics.
[Nexus 10 General] aznmode:
Just got mine from walmart too and there is definite light bleed on the bottom right. Very visible even in day time. Also when I fire up google earth it cant find my location. I thought this had built in GPS. It is very snappy and so far has been able to run most game smoothly. Downloading Dark Knight now as that is the one I can never get to play smooth on any of my device. Contrast isnt as good as my TF700 and has a yellow tint to it.
[Nexus 10 General] sitnlow4life:
Is there a way to see what locations have it in stock ?

I have tried the SKU on their website as well as calling local stores

They seem to say that they can not look up items by SKU number
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
They looked it up by the SKU# for me, that is how they found out what other stores may have it.

I have the UPC if that will help anyone.
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Yes please -- both numbers if you will. Thanks!
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
Walmart SKU# I posted in a photo on the last page.

The UPC on the box is 887276017747

The SKU# on the box is GTP8110HVGR
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Thanks. I'll share results after I check with NJ-area Walmarts...
[Nexus 10 General] PixelTheCat:
Found one at Wal-Mart too.

I picked one up today as well. Light bleed is almost non-existent. There were two at the store when I got there. Looks to me like they are all getting two each. I picked mine up at the Walmart Supercenter #1651-American Canyon, 7011 Main St., American Canyon, CA 94503
[Nexus 10 General] sitnlow4life:
Yeah

I asked multiple stores to do that

They said that they don't have a system in place to check other stores inventory.

I said bull****!
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
Non existant as in when in daily use or non existant as in black screen brightness above 50% up to 100% and not noticable?

I am trying to get an idea of how normal the backlight bleed is.

Another poster on here thought they had no bleed until they checked it on a black screen.

Update: found a bad pixel or similar blemish on the screen so I am gonna exchange it/ return and purchase when they get more in stock. I love this tablet, even with the light bleeding, but bad pixels and such even one is a big no no for me. Here is hoping I can get a new one soon and that it is in perfect condition :)
[Nexus 10 General] kev30:
no dead pixel on my n10 i got from walmart. however, there's noticeable light bleed on lower right corner when brightness is over 50%. might just have to return it.
[Nexus 10 General] adlakeche:
Play Store still has some 16GB's;)
[Nexus 10 General] RaiderWill:
It appears each Walmart is starting to get *2* Nexus 10's... You just have to be in the right place at the right time to snag one.. I got lucky this evening and found one.. Needless to say I jumped in the Car and Drove like a State Trooper Flicking my Lights and Forcing Drivers out of my way... Well !.. Javier said he would only hold it for 1 hour !

Here is a SKU shot..
[Nexus 10 General] PixelTheCat:
Non existent as in hardly noticeable on a black screen at 100% brightness in pitch black room.
[Nexus 10 General] Bru87tr:
Luckily we aren't staring at a black blank screen. :)

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

I had one store say that to me, Bull!

I called another store and he had no problem doing it and said all stores can do it. The person just didn't want to.
[Nexus 10 General] supermi1:
count elnrne

Saw the first bad pixel while in Skype with my dad. Then saw another then another and then a small scratch on the inside if the glass which makes a short lime of rainbow colors. :( I was not really even looking for the pixels the first one just popped out at me.

While I agree we are not staring at a black screen, depending on the degree of bleed it can intrude into the black bars while watching a movie or on a darker app page maybe a dark magazine etc. We all also have different sensitivities to things like this. But I do dig your very positive outlook! I was loving my tablet bleed and all lol. Darn pixels

Hope everyone looking for one gets one soon!

Cheers!
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Stopped by the closest Walmart (central NJ) around lunchtime today. Empty shelf space for the N10, right next to half a dozen 32GB N7's. Salesman was very willing to help me check nearby inventory, but apparently needed a handheld scanner to do this (or didn't know how to check at his register). A somewhat comical scene, as he called out to half a dozen other sales people to 1) find one with a scanner, and 2) find someone who actually knew the proper steps to go through to check for nearby inventory.

In the end, a manager wandered by and rescued me -- we walked up to the Customer Service desk where she logged onto an aging green screen terminal (looked like some kind of CICS transaction), and found the module to check "on hand" in nearby stores. The UPC was all she needed, and she checked all stores in a 30 mile radius -- and all stores showed zero on hand...

Ah well. Think that checking this will get to be a daily routine for a bit, as I'd still like to be able to pick it up in person at a brick & mortar location -- with the option to return or exchange it the same way if needed. If it takes too long though I'll probably give into temptation to order online, as the Play store now shows less than 1 week for delivery...
