Really sucks, my officemax purchased device has 4 dead/stuck pixels and as a result of the frenzy to get in with this deal there's no stock for me to get an exchange :(

I was able to use it at staples in northern phoenix. Took a couple minutes but manager approved.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k20-:
Whether the deal is official or not, who cares. Just grab one while you can directly or via price match programs offered by some giant electronic stores because time is running out and stock is very limited. You got nothing to lose. This deal has been working for lots of people, it should work for you too. Just make sure you call and tell them to hold it for you before you come to avoid wasting your time and gas.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Deathman20:
Told the manager that if they wouldn't honor it, I'd just go over to Office Depot where they would. He accepted, did a return and rang me out. Then the gal rang me up... She rounded up on how much I got off.

I'm still kinda mad that amazon is being a jerk about it. I've always heard Amazon price matched all kinds of stuff. The one time I need it they shoot me down.

Return it to them and get one in store if you can then.

Office Max, Best Buy, Walmart and Staples wouldn't honor it in Dallas but Office Depot did...ironic too...I had a really bad experience with them when it came to my nexus 7 last year so I made sure to visit them last...lol and all that time I wasted...

they took the coupon and applied the discount with no hassle at all... Thx OP...

Closest office max was out of stock and said they could order me one but it will be until next week when they get it in so they would let me use the coupon. Drove across the street and Best Buy said they were out but would price match and order me one. Should be in on Wednesday
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Landara:
For those having problems getting OD to take this, do what I did.

Print THIS PAGE which does state that:

Then print THE COUPON.

Take them BOTH to Office Depot, put them on the counter and look them in the eye and tell them that you called Office Depot and asked if they accepted other brick and mortar store coupons, and they said that they did.(You can actually do this if you want, but it is what they will say, I did it twice to be sure). Then tell them you drove 20-25 minutes to get there because of that phone call, and the website which you happen to have printed right here both saying that you would be able to use this. Tell them you passed by at least 10 other stores that sell Nexuses because THEIR OWN national call center told you they would honor the coupon. They are not going to argue with you in this situation. This is what I did, and she keyed in the discount manually, called for a key turn, offered me an extended warranty and thanked me for buying an item for less than what they paid for it. I then returned that un-opened item(which may well have been defective for all we know) to the Gamestop where I had purchased my flawless Nexus, and got a full refund of $248 and I still have my own Nexus, with the receipt from Office Depot if I ever need to return it for some reason. I paid $194 after tax. So I saved $54 and the whole thing took at most half hour, and did I not have to re-root and customize a new device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ZOnikJJ:
I got Best Buy here in Phoenix, AZ to price match. It took a while, but the General Manager gave the price match the green light and they gave me the discount.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] clockmehigh:
I managed to get OD to accept this coupon online today. I feel so awesome :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pengwn:
I used this coupon to pick mine up a couple days ago and I'm loving every minute of it! I loved getting the 32GB for the same price as the 16GB :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
I would love to do this with Amazon but that would tie up another couple hundred bucks until Amazon processed it and refunded me. That whole process sounds horrible when dealing with an online store. My Nexus is flawless and I will just not give my business to Amazon for big buys any more. TBH I was a little leery about Amazon anyway for this reason alone.

Lesson learned.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SLUSHIE:
Wish I waited a while to get mine. I've never felt so screwed over so quickly when buying a device on day of release.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pengwn:
Eh, prices for devices will always get cheaper as time goes on. You still got to use the device before a ton of people :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SLUSHIE:
Yeah but it's usually months later, not less than 2 weeks. That's the point of what I said.

And the only reason I got to use it before other people is because I bought it before they did... by less than two weeks.

It's a hit or miss on that. It's also not linked to just one device. Others have had problems recently as well. There is a fix by doing something with the router.

This week's printable coupon (via slickdeals) does have that fine print exclusion for the Nexus 7, but the actual paper bag that came with the coupon/Ad circular portion of the Sunday paper (San Francisco Chronicle) does not have any mention of the Nexus 7 in the fine print. Don't know if Office Max made a last minute change to exclude the N7 that was not fully communicated to their promo department, or if I just got lucky.

So when I went to Office Depot last night, the rep told me they don't have any in stock and will get them in few weeks. As I was walking out, the manager says that they have them, but can't sell them yet per order from corporate. I told him they have been on sale for about a week now. So he agreed to sell me one, but wouldn't take the coupon.

I left and went to chat online. Got the rep to price match and did in-store pick up at the same store. I went today to pick it up, the salesperson said they don't have any in stock so I talk to the same manager. He says he can't give it to me at that price and refused to do so. I showed him my order confirmation and said corporate is allowing it at that price so he HAD to give it to me.

I just got off chat with 2 amazon chat reps and both said they don't price match at ALL unless its another seller on amazon.

My Story!!!

I was excited to see this great deal this morning. So I called the BestBuy I bought my 16 GB Nexus 7 from and they simply said that they don't price match coupons only prices.

Later in the day after reading on XDA that someone had gotten BestBuy to do it, so I decided to give it another try. I actually called BestBuy customer service hotline and the CS rep I spoke to said she didn't see why they would not do the price match and said if I had purchased online she could have done it for me. She actually ended up calling the store and asking them why they would not price match. Their response to her was that they only price match at the time of purchase, or if the item went on sale within the 15 day return period at the actual BestBuy. So her advise to me would be to return it and buy it again with the price match.

So I decided to head down to the store and give it a try. I get there and explain to the employee that 1. I've already called customer service and they have told me that it can be done and if I have too just return and buy again and 2. If they cant price match I will just return it and go to purchase at OfficeMax. The employee explain to the manager the situation and also showed him the coupon which clearly states tablets included and the manger just, "Okay go ahead and do it." Keep in mind I never got loud or rude as I have worked in customer service for over 14 years and know how far that will get you.

So in total I got back $46 plus $4 tax ($50) in Los Angeles, California and think it was well worth my time. A little advice when you go to the store know exactly what you want and be ready to stand up for what you want even if that includes returning the tablet. And give them options for me Option 1 was for them to just price match Option 2 was for me to return it and rebuy it with the price match and Option 3 was to just return it and buy somewhere else. Option one was the best option for me and BestBuy so we both win sort of... Hope this help someone else.

I don't understand why some employees go out of their way to give you a hard time, my thing is wether the item sells for full price or it sold with a discount its still a sale.

My grand total with tax was $200

When it came out early I got the new Nexus 7 at Best Buy. Staples had the $30 off coupon for all tablets and Best Buy did the price match.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Orite:
Has anybody used this coupon with a 16GB model? It seems like Office Max only carries the 32GB model. Only reason I ask is because most of the 32GB models are sold out around my area so it's up in the air if they'll price match the coupon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] clockmehigh:
Can anyone tell me how you're getting Office Depot to price match? I talked to their online chat rep and he didn't budge at all from the position that they don't price match online but only in stores.

I'm out of the country now so does anyone have suggestions for other stores that you have successfully price matched online? I don't know why Office Depot is being such a pain to me :mad:

EDIT: Another question, those who bought it from Office Depot without the rather expensive 2-year protection, is the tablet still under warranty and for how long? Do we still get a 1 year warranty?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Impulses:
It's usually just luck of the draw depending on what employee/manager you talk to and how willing you are to stand your ground and just return it if they won't price match the coupon. If you're just buying it outright at Office Depot it's even more of a toss-up, though their policy used to be that they DO price match special offers/coupons as long as you have printed evidence.

Two summers ago I bought my original ASUS Transformer for $300 (originally $400) at Office Depot by having them match a $100-off tablets coupon from Staples, funny thing is we don't even have Staples in Puerto Rico! One day later my sister tried to do the same thing and they wouldn't match it, can't remember if she visited the same Office Depot or not.

I missed out on this one, got my Nexus 7 from Newegg last week and they'd charge like a $30+ restock fee (15% I think) if I returned it so it's not really worth doing it... I did save myself $13 in tax though and they tossed in a free pair of headphones, which I'll probably try to sell.

Might give them a call anyway about this and see if they'll give me any kinda credit or waive the restock fee, doubt it but worth a shot.
