I called to get a replacement ont the 13th. They said it would take a week to get it. I called on the 18th they said it was being proccesed. I called today the 21st they said they are on backorder and have no idea when they will be available. It bothers me that they never tried to inform me of this through email or a stupid texst. Is anyones eles's vibrant on backorder? This realy sucks not getting a eta.
Called last night, same ordeal. Ordered mine a little over a week ago.

good news and bad news...
bad news is, the T-Mobile just got slump by overwhelming phone sending back for 2 majority reasons:
#1 phone hardware/software issue for another refurb phone
#2 people took advantage of the phone upgrades for New phones out in T-Mobile like G2 on 3rd failure crisis
so that is why, many phone are on back order!! bummer...
I was told by some local cellular shops, there is one major pain in the butt issue.
all the phone they are getting from back order 80% have Hardware Lock issue.
Guess T-Mobile is enforcing the HWLock to prevent data wipe and stock Custom Rom.
I got mine an hour ago ordered last week

Was the phone they just sent you hardware locked. I ordered a replacement phone last Friday, bc my usb port had a short. Then Tuesday they informed me it was backordered.

There is another thread on this in the general section... This is what I posted there.
I call and talked to tech services [not customer service] and they said they will send me out a replacement, Sad thing is they are on backorder. I called on the 13th they said one week. I called again on the 21st That's when I found out its on backorder. I am going to call ever day till my phone gets here.
I called today 10-22 It started out with cs I told them I was very unhappy paying 500 bucks for a phone that I can't use nor be told when I would get one. I told them I was ready to switch carriers. They transferred me to a account specialist. I told her the same story she said they would pay for shipping and give me one month free data. I asked her why can I order one on line and get it but cant get a replacement for my new one? She put me on hold and came back and said she turned it over to another dept and I would get a update text from them on a new phone. I told her that every day I don't get my phone drives me closer to dropping them. I was nice to them but firm about my displeasure. Will update this thread when I get more info. Sorry about this RANT
Nope I have full access and it was already running the JI6
The guy on the couch
I was glad not to have to worry about bricking with the update that would have been the limit for me I woulda flipped out but all is well now also the gps on your new one will be super accurate...it is on mine
The guy on the couch
My replacement is on backorder as well. I had a MyTouch before my vibrant and needed a replacement. I checked my order status several times a day (like I do now) hoping it would tell me it was shipped. The status was always backorderd and so I called them to see what the hold up was and they just told be it was on backorder and didn't know why. No less that 30 minutes later my phone arrived in the mail. I hope this is the same scenario and that my replacement arrives sooner than later.
The moral of the story, T-Mobile reps don't know **** about what or when the replacements ship.
called again Same crap different day Talked to several ppl loyalty serv. customer serv. and a account specialist. They tried to tell me they have no phones at all. I said I could order one on line, they said they were backorderd too. I went to their site and got all the way to the final check out. It seems like it would have gone threw. So I quit. 2 weeks later and they still can't tell me when I would get one? Maybe i will get a new one instead of a refurb one. I think when think when they see my number they go oh **** he is calling again. What a nice $500. paper weight

Yeah, I got one to about an hour ago. Btw, on T-mo's website it still says that my order hasn't shipped yet and that it's still on backorder. Their order status portal is far from accurately up to date.

I'm not bothering with a T-Mo rep. The tracking # they sent in a text shows the package shipped yesterday with a delivery date of the 28th. And it probably will be hardware locked... Damn...
I have ordered a T-Mobile upgrade thru BuyMobilePhones.net. Having never heard of the company before I was a little cautious. They do however have one of the best deals I've found for my situation:
600 mins
500 texts
500mb internet
18 months
£30 a month
19.99 for the phone
The closest mobiles.co.uk have got is £35/m and £50 for the phone. And as its an upgrade I don't have to fanny about changing my number over which is a Brucey bonus.
..........
I rang on bank holiday Monday and spoke to a bloke who basically said he cant do anything today as its a BH and he would be on the phone to T-Mobile for too long and he took my details and would call back Tuesday. 'Hmmmmm' I thought, and agreed.
I got a bit antsy in my pantsy so rang back an hour later. I spoke to another bloke who took my details and said he'd ring back in ten mins after speaking to T-Mobile, he took the telephone password for my account (the one you tell the operator when you ring up), I was a bit apprehensive but gave it too him anyway (I have changed it now). He rang back after about 20 mins and said its gone through and I should expect delivery on Wednesday. I said goodbye but was still suspicions.
I then rang T-Mobile an hour later and asked if there had been any changes to my account. They told me a dealer rang up questioning an upgrade to a Motorola Milestone but nothing had been put through. I rang back BMP.net but they had all gone home.
So I rang them today(Tuesday) and spoke to the same bloke and he said they have to put it through as a milestone to get the best deal. 'Fair play', I thought, but the big question is will I still get it tomorrow (Wednesday). He told me that he thought there would be enough stock in for my order but there may not be and I may actually get it Thursday.
I have just rang up T-Mobile (Tuesday 18:20) to ask if any upgrades had been put through on my account and they said 'No'. I will call BMP.net a call tomorrow (Wednesday) at 09:00 to chase it up again.
..........
The best number to call is 01773 522308.
Anyone else dealt with them before?
I've had a the same order as yourself, but it's been stuck on the processing stage since yesterday morning when I click on order status.
How long did yours take to process?
As mines an upgrade I don't get access to that part of the site
No worries, not sure processing should take this long. I have emailed them this morning regarding the issue but still no reply.
Give the above number a call 0900-1730
Will do, tomorrow, cheers
Let us know how you get on
I had a 'mare with Buy Mobile Phones a while back. Ordered a new phone, they dicked me about, finally sent it, when it arrived the box was open, so I sent it back and they told me they wouldn't accept it because the phone was 'used'.
I had to scream, shout and threaten them with the office of fair trade before they'd even concede that it was them that opened it (or someone previously); and even then they gave me the old 'as an act of good faith' line. They are, without doubt, the murkiest phone shop I've ever used.
I wouldn't trust them any further than I could push them with my piss.
Hi there,
I ordered with buymobilephones.net and my order was dispatched yesterday and is out with City link for delivery tomorrow - so they are definitely legit.
Many thanks
The confirmation email says delivery, sadly the tracking number isnt tracking. Will phone cancel tomorrow if no delivery.

Got the same deal as thread starter, got tracking info via email from BMF. Should be with me tomorrow.
Any problems I have had to date had been delt with swiftly!
Did anybody have a slow order processing, mines been nearly 2 days.
I also ordered the same deal as the first poster and I have a tracking number for City Link that is giving Wednesday as the delivery day with it currently underway to the delivery depot.
I ordered it 'new' despite being eligable for an upgrade with t-mobile. A new number for the specified deal appeared on my existing account ( a couple of my kids also have t-mobile contracts on my account) on Saturday along with the dispatch e-mail.
Therefore all looks OK.

I ordered on 11th of April and my order was 'processing' until Saturday.
This was a new order.
Status is now that it is on the delivery van. Unfortunately I won't be there to receive it today and touch and go whether there will be anybody at home at all, so may have to wait an extra day.
Just had an email response to say that they have a massive backlog of orders for the galaxy s 2 and that is the reason for the delay in processing my order.
Hey I was just wondering if any of you have received a call or any notification about your preorder that you made a month ago???
I have not.
no i haven't
I got a text message on each of my two lines that i preorodered a upgrade for about 2 weeks ago asking which day I wanted to pick mine up. I said Friday of course
I have not gotten a call :/
Im thinking about calling on my own.
They called me last Friday
posted about it here
I received a call last week to confirm what day I am coming in. No time appointment was given. I did however receive it yesterday from the premier link and still went to the store yesterday.
First they do have the phone and HTC View in stock. Second they could not sell me any accessories but had the courtesy to show me their case accessories that would be sold. They even held two for me just in case they run out since I will be coming after work.
I also did the $150 trade in with my rooted OG Evo keeping the sd card and charger. Not sure if Sprint will drop the trade in price come Friday so I did it asap yesterday.
I got a call yesterday from my sprint store that I pre ordered at and they asked what time I'd like to come in to pick up my evo 3d on friday....
I'd say if you dont hear from them by noon your local time give them a call and ask... If they say that they not doing appointments and they have one on hold for you, insist on making an appointment, also say that when you pre ordered your phone they said they would call and set up an appointment

Good point... im going to do that after work just in case it drops. Altho all the other retailers are buying Evo 4G for $150 and im sure Sprint doesnt want their lower trade-in value to steer customers away from them.
So how did they pay for your Evo 4G? What type of inspection did they do prior to buying your phone?
I think im going to have to call them today because I figure by now I would hear something....... I wont be very happy if I dont get to pick my phone up tomorrow lol.
I have not either. However I'm expecting one today. When I did my pre order I was told I would be called the day before, but if I don't hear from them by 3 I'm Calling! Sorry Not losing my phone I put money down for to some idiot walking off the street.
See I worry because I didnt have to put any money down. The way they did the preorder was weird. I swear they just wrote it down on a random spot on the computer lol
My sprint store called yesterday about noon. I got the Friday 8am appointment because I was first on the list.
I just called mine to confirm it but all they told me was that my name is on the list and I should just come when the store opens. It sounds like it essentially just reserved it. oh well. Ill have my new baby evo tomorrow
Really glad I did the Premier online order, because my store has still not called me. I'll probably go in to see if they have the otter box and cancel my preorder. Need to use my gift card on my account anyway.
My store did not call me. I called them and they were able to schedule my appointment for tomorrow anyhow.
Here's my story. Sorry it's long, but I'm hoping someone sees it who might be able to help
I got a Prime for Christmas, delivered on Dec. 24th. I fell in love with it almost immediately. Used it multiple times daily, both at work and at home. Sure, the GPS wasn't great, but I didn't care. And, I didn't have any of the Wi-Fi problems other had. I was feeling awesome about the thing, recommended it to all my friends, etc. Unfortunately, towards the end of January, the camera stopped working. I called Asus, and they were very friendly in walking me through the various things they wanted me to try, before giving me an RMA.
Although I admit I didn't ask for them to pay, I was disappointed that I had to pay myself to ship the tablet to the Texas repair facility. On Monday, February 6th, I bundled it up well, and sent it by priority mail (with insurance) for about $20. It arrived a few days later, and I started checking the status online. I watched is sit and sit and sit in "WB5-Waiting for Repair/Testing" status for two full weeks, with absolutely no change. At that point, I decided to get in touch with Asus, as that seemed kind of unreasonable. It did the trick - I filled out the contact form online, and the very next day they repaired it and shipped it back to me. I got it on March 1st.
I went back to the typical usage, and everything was great! Great, until March 17th, when the EXACT SAME problem occured - a non-functional camera, with the same symptoms as before. I immediately called Asus, got another RMA number, and asked them to pay for shipping this time (which they did). I was out of town at the time, but once I got back I took it to the local Fedex office, where they packaged it, attached my shipping label, and sent it off. It took almost a week for Fedex to get it from Seattle to Milpitas, CA, but then it arrived on the 4th of April (signed for by an "A. Vargas").
Since then, I've been unable to get any information on the RMA Status website. I've called three times, and each time I've been assured they do, in fact, have my tablet, and that the site should be updated within the next day or two. I've passed out of my RMA month-long window, but the people on the phone keep telling me that's okay, that they really do have it, and everything will be fine. I called again yesterday, and as per usual, they said "it'll be fine, check the website, and if it doesn't update in a few days call us back."
Is my tablet just missing? Do they think it's in TX instead of Milpitas? How is it even possible that it got delivered on the 4th and nothing's happened yet? At this point my prime has been either in transit or with Asus for more time than I've actually had it. PLEASE, can anyone help?
My tablet has been in their facility since 5 weeks ago. I have had two RMA numbers and neither have ever worked.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. This exact scenario is one of the (few) advantages that there is with buying Apple products. You have a problem with something, you can take it into the store and they usually will replace it for you right then in there if you are under warranty and what not. In addition, ASUS (along with most other manufacturers) will require that the consumer pay the shipping for sending in an RMA. Don't get me wrong, I hate Apple dearly but it can be frustrating dealing with these situations and having to be without something for an extended period of time.
Unfortunately I don't think there is much anyone is going to be able to do for you. The only suggestion I would have is getting in touch with Gary Key (via email... not PM). There seems to be a definite negative trend here as far as RMA turn around time goes with the Prime.
Yep, definitely frustrating. And the thing is, I still would totally recommend the Prime to anyone looking for a good, quick tablet - my wife has one, too (both BCOKAS), and hers has been perfect so far!
Agreed, frustrating to send it in and have them have it for over 2 weeks. when the device came out less than a few months ago..., they have had mine since the 13th, its in WB5 status right now, i will wait til next week until i give them a call or email gary to have it expedited...time is money right? i paid for a 64gb along with a dock 600+150+tax...

As always, PM Gary from one of his many sticky threads. He's a busy fella, but leave an email address, a link to this thread, and maybe a much shorter description, and he'll make sure something more than tier 3 support scripts are done about it.

How did yours get there overnight? Mine took over a week to get from Wisconsin to California. Did you pay for overnight. Asus paid for my shipping but is was on a slow FedEx bus, lol....
at this points why does anyone send it in for rma? go buy another one and take the bad one back if you still have the original box. the retailer isn't losing any money. asus deserves the return.

Mine is in WB5 too
Even my tablet is in WB5 waiting status as well... yes, it frustrating. The CSRs do not have any visibility into turnaround times, or any clue why it's in waiting state. Its a waste to call them.

when did you send it in and when did they receive it?
my understanding is you have to give them 7 full business days after receipt before they will "escalate" the issue to have it updated. Then expect to wait another 1-2 business days for that to happen. If it is past say 10 business days get on the phone and tell them that you are no longer concerned with the updating website as much as why it's taking so long to repair. Tell them you would like them to expedite the repair as they have had your tab for x amount of days. Also make sure when you call you offer them the tracking # so they can look it up. None of the CSRs took me seriously and I had to offer this to them, then they took me seriously. The warehouse won't update as received until the day they start repairing the unit, so Asus CSR see's that as the date of receipt, which in fact could be 2 weeks later than they actually received it. Why they wouldn't ask "do you have a tracking #" is beyond me. They "escalated" the no update thing, 24 hrs later it was updated. 2 days later called to ask why mine was still in "repairing" with no update any my tab being with them for over 2 weeks and they "expedited" repair. 2 Days later it was "shipped" back to me. Hope it helps!

When I talked to ASUS I told them this was my 2nd RMA and the 1st one took 5 days to get it out to Cali. I told them I wanted overnight, as this was unacceptable. They complied and gave me the shipping label.

Milpitas vs. Grapevine - Camera repair
Chinly43....Wonder why we have two different repair locations for the same problem
wow.. your prime RMA for the camera defect was directed to Milpitas CA on 3/17.. My RMA for the same problem was directed to Grapevine TX on 3/23.. I just sent my prime in on 4/18..a few days ago, since I couldnt part with it.
It is now on its slow way via FedEx ground to Texas.. I am in San Francisco and shipping it to Milipitas would have made too much sense.. I could drive it there in a short while... Now I am worried that we have our repairs criss crossing the country trying to find a repair location..

Mine went to Grapevine the first time. I was hopeful that sending it to Milpitas just meant they were going to replace it (rather than trying to fix it), and that it would be quicker. Clearly that's not the case.
And as for returns - mine was from Gamestop in December. I have their no questions asked, costs $70, two-year return guarantee or whatever. I actually called them first, and they didn't have any in stock, otherwise I might have done it. I still want to have this tablet, I just want a working one.

The RMA center received my tablet on 04/13. it went into "repairing state the same day". But it has been in Ws5 state since sometime on 04/16.
Have mailed (/PM) Gary as well, No response. I am sure he has other more important things to take care of.
I have resigned to the fact that I need to wait for 2 weeks more before I can esclate this to ASUS.

Honestly having been there for today being the 5th business day. Even for ASUS I think you're asking much wait till 2 weeks passes say next Friday before bothering Gary. It is perfectly understandable for them to need 1 week to do a repair considering the volume I'm sure they're dealing with. 2 weeks, now their starting to test their luck and anything past THAT should be escalated to Gary or CSR. If everyone that had a week long RMA bothered Gary he would have 5x as many emails as he currently does.

not sure if you are defending asus/gary by telling us not to email him lol but yeah wait 2 weeks? crazy I havent seen a RMA take more than a week... with any of my gadgets, computer parts and anything really...
Mine was ordered on 2-29 and a rep today has told me that it will take 3 business days.
Anyone else have anything different?
I got an email mine will be here tomorrow.
I ordered mine at 8am on Feb. 23. My status online says "Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7."
Ordered 2/23.
"Your order for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has been received. Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience."
The status online has changed 3 times for me. From shipping monday, then this week in 2-5 days. Now it says shipping the week of the 7th.
Obviously sprint can't figure out what they are doing. But what's new.
I have it on my hand atm. Good phone so far. Battery dropped quick when i first got out bit removed bloat and now it's about better.
Ok So I pre ordered the Galaxy S7 on the 23rd at a retail store. I called up sprint today to get a status check on my order. the order number i gave him from my receipt did not work, so i told him to look at my account he saw that i had pre ordered the phone, he let me know that since all pre orders come with gearVR my phone will be shipped on the 11th of March along with the gearVR to a sprint store. he said i should get a tracking number right before its going to get shipped
The rep I talked to on the 29th said the phones were getting shipped to them from ***** on the 4th and they would ship the 7th. FWIW. She also said the Gear VR was in stock and would ship the 29th LOL.

ordered mine 3 days ago got it today S7 edge gold
Ordered mine on the 29th got it last night. Silver edge, Gear VR is on back order and ships by the 7th it says.
For everyone that got there phones already did you receive a email with tracking information or did it just show up ?
Ordered Mine from Verizon getting it NEVER! Lol probably next week....I hope.
Just chatted with a rep online. He says that they are back-ordered, but they'll be getting more in over the weekend and have them out next week. I sort of feel like a whiner because i'm not getting my phone earlier than I expected it. This process is making me act like a child. HAHA. If my order doesn't come early next week I'm going to throw an all-out man tantrum.
Information: for some reason sprint thinks that it's expectable to send out the phones that were purchased on 2/29 and 3/1 immediately , however who ever placed it on the 23rd we have to wait ! How does that make any since in hell??? I don't get it why are we the ones that are "backordered" ? We ordered nearly a week before them it's not fair that they are getting them , I complained and I suggest you do as well and let them know people are receiving it I received 30$ bill credit and a 30$ assessory because they agreeded and couldn't explain why mine wasn't sent even the person from the shipping department was confused !
They only give me a 15 dollar credit I order on the 24 and my bro order on 2/29 and has his phone I was piss I call everyday and everyday every sprint rep said something different smh

Keep complaining over live chat and over the phone i was pissed too i don't get it ! Why does someone who ordered after mine is the one who gets it ??? it makes no sense to me, and even the order specialist (shipping department) didnt even understand. My assumptions is that sprint originally gave us the 3/7 deadline but if you noticed on 2/29 and 3/1 the statuses changed and the people who placed orders on those two days originally received a shorter shipping period . So to avoid any problems they just shipped it due to whatever your original shipping said to avoid any problems and we are the ones that got backordered.

I still don't understand, but hey it's whatever enjoy your phone :crying: :foreveralone:
Got mine today s7 edge silver.
Ordered on the first..
I ordered on the 25th, same status changes on the order page as you guys, no shipping info yet. Regular s7. Seems like edge orders have shipped first, I think I will hop on chat later and complain a little and try to get some clarification.
