[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Stealth22:
For those in Western Canada, I picked up a 32GB unit on Monday from Memory Express.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] evgen2004:
Bought 32gb in Canada Computers, Vaughan.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
By any chance did you check about their policy for returns for dead pixels? It states it on their site for lcd monitors and notebooks, but not tablets.

Monitors and notebooks are 4+ dead pixels for a return... if that's the case for tablets, I'm not in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheAtomicBeef:
Picked my 32 GB up at Canada Computers in Markham.

I ended up with a good unit -- no dead/stuck pixels.

Not certain what their policy is for tablet LCDs, however. Thought I would chance it since they are the first local retailer to stock the 32, and I've been itching to get one since last week!

I guess the safest bet would be to wait for the big boxes to stock them, that way you can play the exchange game if you end up with a dud screen.

All in all, I'm very happy with the device thus far. Gorgeous screen and I'm really enjoying the 7 inch form factor. Also one of the slickest performing androids I have used yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tietherope:
I need a 32GB model before I go away next Thursday but do not want to deal with Canada Computers. Come on Future Shop!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
bad experience(s)? They've been pretty good to me for computer parts, but that return policy... not so sure. Unfortunately, they have a bunch of 32's across their stores, according to their site. In stock online too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
That's what i'm iffy about too. I bought my 2012 N7 from them after google didn't ship mine out in a timely manner after preordering it. Perfect N7 but this one has many more pixels to be faulty than the previous. Still waiting on a store with a really good return policy that is local (sorry ME).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Sales rep at CanadaComputers confirmed tablet policy is same as monitors/notebooks. 4+ for dead pixels.

Staples has confirmed even a single dead pixel is returnable as that is a defective unit (14 day limit per their typical returns).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
Canada Computers are treated like lepers in my tech circles. We've had a lot of talks about them (and other dealers) but these guys usually hit the top of our stores to avoid. They've generally behaved pretty shady when it comes to returns and fixing problems. For just a matter of a few weeks difference, I'd hold of and wait for the 32 to hit stores that have a no hassle return policy like BB or FS.

This is CC's "Defective Return Policy"

Defective products* may be returned for exchange, refund or credit for up to 14 days. Please note the following:

Canada Computers reserves the right to determine whether the product is defective or not. The product will only be replaced directly once it has been deemed defective

so, this means if you feel your N7 is one of the ones with those issues people have listed here that CC can slough-off ie. light bleed, GPS not locking etc etc all I can tell you from my past experience with them is that the store will very likely tell you "we couldn't reproduce the problem in our service center".

BB or FS on the other hand will either refund you or exchange your unit NO QUESTIONS ASKED. You can even tell them you simply don't want it.

If my warning isn't enough to worry you, then maybe you should take a look at this:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Canada_Computer_and_Electronics

Yes, they're

that

bad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
I've not had any problems with returns at CC but have had limited experiences in having to do so. Never with anything with screens. I'm waiting for screen protectors and case to show up so I'm half in a rush to get the 32GB but also not. The little kid part of me wants it yesterday, the adult is patient. Yes, i'm split-personality!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
A lot of the worst things they're infamous for still to this day:

frequently refusing returns/refunds

selling faulty merchandise

wrapping up returned items and selling them as new (one customer found the previous owners data on a dozen HDD's that were sold as new items. They forced the buyer to take them to court over it!)

charging your credit card even if you cancelled the order

that's just the tip of the iceberg. Seriously folks, hit the link I provided above. They're basically borderline criminal. There's a very real possibility they'll try to sell you a refurb or a used one. They do that a lot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sambistt:
i purchased my N7 FHD (16gb) for 229$ at AMAZON+43$ USPS to Russia

at next week it would me in my hands
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] V8_FAN:
I didn't know that Russia was within Canada now...:)

On my part, still waiting for 32gb in Montréal. Concerning CC, i do agree that it will be more difficult to return the product compared to FS, BB or Staples. No play store for me. If anybody found something (32gb) in the greater Montreal area please advise.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
hey the 32 GB is available for pre-order @ best buy !

For myself, i'm waiting for 2 x 32 gb from NCIX. Maybe they'll ship next week. I hope so.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] anthony.wang:
Ordered my Nexus 7 32GB from NCIX on Aug 02, 2013 (late at night), and they've arrived today in Kitchener, ON!

Shipped from Concord, ON.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
According to a Futureshop representative from their headquarters, they have no intention of carrying the 32gb model.

http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/i...going-to-be-available-for-preorder/m-p/430937

http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/iPad-Tablets-eReaders/new-Nexus-7/td-p/430343

If FS won't stock the 32GB, my guess is Staples and Bestbuy are following a similiar strategy. My guess is that it would erode the sales of competing products. They all currently have a great stock of the Nexus 7 2012 32gb that they are trying to sell (at full price). They would likely want to sell as many 16gb as possible and in many months sell the 32gb hoping to double-dip the market. This is the first time I've seen a tablet that offers double the memory for only $30 more, it's pretty obvious the 32gb offers great value, a value that would hurt their greedy bottom line.

Edit: Same response on BestBuy forums (from the same Jorge)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Andro_pty:
Sorry but look at bestbuy.ca They have 32 GB for pre-order, like i said, in warehouse august 16.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Confirmed pre-order at best buy. My order status is in progress as confirmed by their system.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
That's great news! I'm not sure why Jorge would say the explicitly FS/BB will not carry it. blaarrrg.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
It has been a bit agonizing to wait for the N7 32GB in Canada...glad to see confirmation BB will have in just over a week. I'm still waiting to see if the CA Play Store is going to offer it next week. BB Shipping is free but guess El Goog is a better option if there are hardware issues initially?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
you can return mail orders in any real BB store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
^ I was more referring to any warranty issues after the initial return period - I am sure it will be much easier to deal directly with Google if purchased through Play Store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Andro_pty:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Just pre-ordered the 32GB at BestBuy! Better deal than Futureshop if you have a Rewards Zone card, you get points.

If the Play Store has it for a similar price or $10 cheaper plus shipping I might just cancel my BB order and get it from there instead to cover my bases for any future warranty issues.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
edit: The warranty from Google Play is still covered by Asus. The exact wording is that Google "may" offer to replace the device. It also states that they could also end up referring you to Asus just like best Buy would.

This is from Play Store:

The above mentioned addendum:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
I believe warranty issues are better handled by the Play Store. IIRC, you will be sent a replacement unit and don't have to go through the hassle of obtaining an RMA number from ASUS yourself. Google takes care of it for you. You get a new unit before having to send your defective one back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
Edit - nevermind - [MENTION=232318]tony j[/MENTION]ust answered it so much better than I could.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Is it just me or is FS not showing the stock availability? FS is closer to my house, so I'd prefer to get it there, but I don't want to wait any longer than necessary, and the lack of a stock indicator is not confidence inspiring :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
I edited my last post with all the exact information about warranties regarding devices bought from Google Play. There's no guarantee they'll even handle your warranty. I realize they have been for some people but it's completely optional for them to either help you or send you off to Asus just like BB would. Please refer to my last post now edited for more details.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
The pre-orders are for delivery only. You can't reserve a unit in store. So it really doesn't matter which place you order from really unless you are concerned with the possibility of having to make an exchange.

Their inventory counter may not appear at all or just when the stock levels get low. I couldn't even find the link to the pre-order when searching the FS site for it. I used the link provided above to see it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
Oh I know that. I just meant that best buy had a specific number of pre-orders available. Both FS and Bestbuy had this counter available on the 16gb when they first shipped. FS is not showing the counter this time around.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Understood, but past experiences that I have read on XDA (very many of them) lead to the fact that Google sends out replacements. Although they reserve the right to just direct you to ASUS, past experiences have been that they take care of you.

I can't recall reading one story of someone having to deal with the manufacturer directly, except in some special cases for cracked glass on the Nexus 4's. But Google took care of the paperwork in those situations.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
You're right, as I've said, Google has been doing this for some customers. But not all. Here's a very relevant thread because the people in it are discussing this exact issue during the 2012 Nexus 7:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773057

In it you will find people who have had Google volunteer to handle the warranty for them rather than Asus, and you will also find people who have had Google tell them they must deal with Asus. As I said earlier, it's entirely up to Google discretion (meaning the rep you happen to contact basically) and it is also in writing. All I'm saying is that Google isn't obliged to do this for you. It's basically a favor, and that's in writing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
haha thanks

i didn't read this ... but i ended up going home just when it was around 14 left ... lucky me

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Warranty

Anyone planning to buy a warranty for the Nexus 7 at Futures Shop or best buy? Is it worth it? I was talking to Google yesterday and they told me that since I'm not planning to buy it directly from them, I have to deal with Asus for any hardware warranty issues directly. I was in a local Future shop yesterday and they told me the warranty on the 16GB was $89 for two years total, where Staples is only $35 total or $70 for the accidental damage warranty for two years. Gosh, what a difference in warranty pricing. Not 100% sure about FS & BB warranty but Staples in the second year will give you a 100% refund in the form of a store credit which can be used towards another tablet purchase. During the first year, you'll have to deal with Asus unless you purchased the accidental damage warranty and Staple will give you a store credit in the first year too if it's damaged.

What do you all think about warranty? Worth it or not, which is best??? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] chike99:
I live in Windsor, ON., so I drove over to Detroit a week ago and took advantage of the 20% discount being offered by Office Max. The 32GB model cost me US $228, including Michigan sales tax. I was not charged duty or taxes coming back. I am not sure what the warranty implication of buying from the US is. I'll probably have to deal with ASUS directly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TellTenPeople:
I've personally never trusted warranties whenever stores are so overbearingly enthusiastic to sell them — it usually means most, if not all, of the gain is for them. I can't speak for Staples, but I had a Future Shop sales guy refuse to just hand over a HDTV without my hearing his somewhat patronizing extended warranty spiel (yes, I do know what a "pixel" is, thanks). I walked out — sans TV but with an over-whelming desire to never Future Shop in the future. That was 3 years ago and I haven't.

Less vindictively, my view on most screen-some things is that I'm better off investing in a good case, some liquid screen armour and the warm knowledge that if I break it, I'll have an excuse to upgrade to the next shinier shiny :D But that's just me — some people probably have equally good reasons for being pro-extended warranty. Ultimately, it's about feeling more thrilled with your new shiny than feeling taken advantage of and that algebra is highly personal.

I pre-ordered a 32GB from Best Buy — no extended warranty.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Jackalo:
I picked up the 32GB at the Canada Computers in Montreal / Laval today. They had another three in stock from what I could see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gorantheg:
London drugs. Just got mine yesterday. They said it was on sale, being 249 on sale. For most stores you'll have to ask them to check for you in the back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] deham:
Any words on LTE version in Canada? I'm seriously considering one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] omnius1:
I think they're a ripoff. But I always get the cheaper 16GB since I don't need a 32, and if it breaks after my 1 year warranty, I don't sweat the $250, I just buy whatever is the newest/best one as a replacement and chuck the old one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] chike99:

For anyone concerned with warranties, make sure to check if your credit card provides any extra warranty coverage for purchases. My Mastercard gives me an extra year of coverage, so I'll have a two year warranty.

As a side story, I tried to order a Chromecast from the US Play Store last friday, Google suspended my Wallet account pending further verification and only unlocked it for me yesterday. Now the Chromecast is no longer for sale!!! I can't win with Google as of late :(
