I used to work for best buy. This is for a 2 year activation on Telus. They don't know what price Telus will charge for 2 year pricing yet as Telus hasn't announced it.

It's a pre order. You check out with the full price but will not be charged because best buy doesn't charge you until the item you ordered ships.

" Before you buy this phone, here's what you need to know

In-store activation on a two-year voice and data Plus plan is required."

That is what will have to be done. You can pre order but will have to go in store to purchase and activate on a 2 year with Telus at what ever price Telus will charge. Best buy doesn't sell phones out right
[Nexus 6P General] AegisValour:
Thanks for the input.

So there's no chance that this is buying it outright? I believe I've heard of people mentioning that Bestbuy will sell phones outright and seeing as how it will ship to my house as well.

If I'm not being charged the outright price I'm assuming I will be charged a preorder fee? I'm assuming I will be able to get that fee back?
[Nexus 6P General] aalupatti:
Do they have display models at bestbuy ?

( I guess not )
[Nexus 6P General] RidgeBoyGenius:
It's definitely also possible to activate on a two year agreement and cancel right after. You'll pay the rest of the device when you receive a cancellation bill from Telus, but you won't pay any monthly fees since you cancelled it the day of. I've done it with Fido and Bell to buy devices full price. If you're lucky, they may even give you a new activation credit on the upfront price of the phone!
[Nexus 6P General] gbual:
Best buy USA sells phones outright but Best buy Canada does not. Best buy doesn't charge a Pre order fee. It's basically just a spot in line.

RidgeBoyGenius idea works if you cancel the agreement as soon as possible after you buy it from best buy

[Nexus 6P General] aalupatti:
what was ur estimated delivery date before ?
[Nexus 6P General] jcanchan:
When I preordered it says (Nov 3-10) . Still does when I go to my google store account. However, when I go through the play store, it says its leaves the warehouse oct 30th. IN the play store, it said 2-3 about a week ago. My order went to pending roughly about 5 days ago, and shortly after i got a definitive date of oct 30th. Hope that helps!
[Nexus 6P General] aalupatti:
I dont understand the difference between google store account and playstore. I thought both were the same .
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Sort of yes. Google split devices into the "Google Store" instead of the "Play Store" a while back. Google Store = store.google.com and Play Store = play.google.com

Both have a way to view your orders and they give slightly different info (in the play.google.com link click the gear icon and then "My Account" and you'll see your order history)
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
It seems like:

store.google.com order history = Range of time for delivery into your hand

play.google.com account summary = date or range of dates it is expected to ship (or at least leave the warehouse and sent to the shipping carrier)
[Nexus 6P General] gwertheim:
Looking to order the 64 graphite, anyone know when they will be accepting orders again?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6P General] PieOfJustice:
Assuming after they fix the initial launch and catch back up. Maybe in a month? Remember they accepted pre-orders for a few countries then pushed those back a week except the US. So they still have to push out thousands of devices to those people before they even can stock the Play Store again.
[Nexus 6P General] gwertheim:
I'm tempted to ask one of my friends to bring one up from the states but then the whole warranty issues and stuff like that even though if my math is correct, it would be maybe less than $100 cheaper when you factor in the exchange rate

Still waiting to find a decent case anyways

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6P General] PieOfJustice:
Yes the phone is definitely cheaper with the exchange rate. Its one of the things that really got me upset when I found out they were going to charge Canadians an extra $200.

[International Pushbullet Server] N5X & N6P Availability

I set up a pushbullet server and used his .jar file last year to get notifications when N6 stock became available.

I also set up Tasker to turn my volume to maximum and play a few alert sounds at night so it would wake me up if anything became available while I was sleeping.

It worked really well. It woke me up at 1:30 in the morning one night because there was just random availability and I was able to snag one.
[Nexus 6P General] Roscopcoletrain:
Are you in Canada? You're saying at 130am it was available in the past few days??

I set up page monitor in chrome a few days ago, along with followthatpage.com. So far nothing.
[Nexus 6P General] chef_christoph:
No sorry, I just meant when I used it last year during the N6 ordering fiasco. Last year stock was made available at weird times in the middle of the night and without the pushbullet notification I would never have known.

Yes, I'm in Canada.
[Nexus 6P General] Roscopcoletrain:
ahh. So far Its only set up for US stock I think. nothing for Canada as far as I can tell from that thread.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Its called "International" in the title so it should do other markets. I believe the person who made it did so specifically for non-US markets where availability is a bit more random than the US
[Nexus 6P General] chef_christoph:
Anyone can use the .jar file the developer supplied and use it for their region.

I set up my own server last year using his .jar file on an old windows computer. As soon as stock was available on the Canadian play store, it would notify me.

I only menton all of this because it worked so well for me last year and if you happen to have a windows computer, you (or anyone else) could do the same.
[Nexus 6P General] Roscopcoletrain:
thanks. I have no idea how to do that java stuff, but will look into it for sure.

edit..think I set it up right. I assume I have to leave the cmd prompt window open??

edit 2...yeah i dont think i did it right lol. not getting notifications.
[Nexus 6P General] chef_christoph:
No problem.

The nice thing about using that pre-made .jar file is that you don't need any java skills.

If you do decide to give it a try and you have any questions, give me a shout I'll be happy to help if I can.

Edit: hey, nice! I see you were giving it a go!
[Nexus 6P General] Roscopcoletrain:
yeah...its not working lol
[Nexus 6P General] chef_christoph:
Were you able to get the script running in a command prompt? If I remember correctly, it should say it's running and update it every few seconds in the prompt window
[Nexus 6P General] Roscopcoletrain:
yup, that worked, but no notification from pushbullet. and if I send a message through the site, nothing happens

Curious to see where these will ship from, my extra charger and usbc to a adapter that I ordered shipped today by Canada Post, ordered some usbc to a week previous, Canada Post as well delivered, came from Mississauga. Have tracking info but not where its shipping from, just going to assume Mississauga also. Nice to see the have a warehouse here apparently in any case. Always hated UPS with the previous launches. Also Canada Post strangely delivered it a day early, go figure. Packages are all "Expedited Parcel" fyi

Was trying to find out the same. I have a 32 graphite ordered to the Calgary area. Supposed to be shipped by the 27 and received by Nov 2. They may be sending all the Canadian orders to a distribution facility (thinking Mississauga) to send out from there. Could be why none of our orders are processing yet. US is getting theirs directly and ours are getting sent out to the distribution centers at the same time.
