online pre order, in store pick up? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

hey all. I have a great feeling sprint wont be shipping out the online pre ordered LTEvos on time before or on friday.
are people who pre ordered the phone online allowed to go into the sprint store on friday morning and pick up the phone??? there is a sprint store RIGHT next to my job and that would be great!

I would say no cause I think most stores are independently owned.

If pre-ordered phones don't get shipped to customers what makes you think pre ordered phones would be delivered to store locations?

No they're not. Given there are quite a few authorized dealers who are independently own but I never go to those and neither should you. Retail stores only so you don't get screwed.

Just called my local sprint store in Keller,TX and was told they will no longer launch this Friday and don't know when their new launch date will be. Sucks

Just called Pleasant Hill, California Sprint store in the mall. Last Saturday the associate told me that I would be able to pick up my phone on Friday. Just now the guy I spoke with was stuttering and stammering when I asked about it.
Official word from their store; they do not have a launch date as of today and they have no further information on the subject that they are able to share with anyone.
Apple can go sit and spin. And I know people are saying it's not their fault. But I'm willing to wager they had a helping hand in the situation.

preordered my evo 3d w/ sprint several weeks ago, but wont be getting it till Monday

well, I preordered my evo 3d w/ a sprint store several weeks ago, but wont be getting it till Monday. I am number four on the list but they are only getting two tomorrow. grrrrrr.....
you guys got ne ideas on how I can still get one tomorrow? I know most of the preorders are soaked up already though...
Call or go buy all your local Best Buys, Radio Shacks, Walmarts, Targets, authorized retailers, Sprint tele-sales, etc.

Be waiting at the store before it opens in the morning, so you're the first one through the door when it opens. They operate on a first-come basis ... they can't prevent you from picking up your phone if you're the first one who shows up with proof of pre-ordering.
My guess is that HTC learned their lesson from the OG Evo... you should almost undoubtedly be able to walk into any other authorized retailer tomorrow and pick one up unless you live in the middle of nowhere.
All of the stores I have contacted about accessories in my area have told me they will have more than enough stock of the phones to satisfy pre-orders and walk-ins.

if only I could... I have to work tomorrow and wont be able to pick it up until 3 or 4 pm....
if you did the giftcard deal from sprint, you can use the giftcard at any corporate sprint store, maybe worth camping out at a larger one and see if you luck out and they have some and you can still apply it towards that?

not true, when the PRE came out, we had a list, and we HAD to hold the phone for I believe...24 or 48 hours for the person's in priority of the list (corporate sprint atleast)
good news is tho that some people actually didn't come and pick theres up, bad news is it still took a couple days to release them.
good news is my manager was a **** and he started selling the hold overs that night rofl.

lol... yeah i think that's the deal at my sprint store. but thanks to the ideas posted by you guys.....
i called my local radio shack, the manager said be there 15 mins before open and he will hook me up. guaranteed. He said I have to cancel the sprint preorder though (feel guilty doing this because I really like the store I preordered it from)...
next question though, can I not trade in my evo 4g at radio shack and still go bring it to a sprint store for the $150 credit?
you can trade in your phone to a corporate store at any time and get the money for it, you don't need to be purchasing anything at the time.

is a corporate store any Sprint store that is only Sprint? Obviously it's not those guys at a kiosk in the mall... but a typical Sprint store should do right? Or do I need to find a special one?
Go to Radio Shack.
I just canceled my best buy order due to their bs.

yeah, the manager at RS hooked me up. he said be there by 8:45 and he will let me in before the doors open.
but just to reiterate... a sprint "corporate" store is just an officially branded Sprint store, right? like, are there non-corporate official Sprint stores? (not including the mall kiosks and the like)

That's why I ordered mine from a Sprint Corporate Store.
Starting to get annoyed at my local store. It is a partner store, so they said they were opening at 10. My brother ordered his and they told him 8. Today a buddy preordered and they said they will be open "by 10".
I guess I will drive past it and see if it is open at 8, if not I will go back a few hours later. In the meantime I can pick up some bagels for my wonderfully understanding wife
I preordered from a corporate store but they've yet to call me about picking up my pre-order tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I was one of, if not the first, for that store to pre-order. I hope they haven't forgotten about my pre-order.
Got mine from wirefly. New contract. Left T-Mobile after 7 years. Feels great.
Got a tracking number this morning.

Prime in stock a bb

Just went to my local bb store this morning in Ithaca NY and they had the 32 gb prime in stock with the keyboard dock. I purchased one and I am loving it!
I've been going to the local BB near me to check the availability of the Prime for about 3 weeks. On Saturday, I visited a BB to purchase a case for my daughter's cell phone. I Checked to see if they had the Prime. This particular store had just received their shipment. They only received 1 tablet. I immediately purchased it. Very happy so far.

I added one to my cart on their website and selected ship to store. I put in my zip code and it showed that a few of the stores had them in stock, but most were a sip to store option 3-5 days. So maybe if you tried that to see if any store near you has them in stock. If it claims it on the website, call the store and ensure that they do before going so you won't get your hopes up.

I just got mine at BB. Walked in to kill time and decided to ask because I saw the shelf tag. They just got 2 in their shipment and myself and another guy both asked about it at the same time lol.

So I called the BB in our area which shows the Prime in stock. The lady I talked to said they didn't have any, so I told her I saw online they had it. She finally admitted that they have it but are not allowed to sell it until Sunday the 29th because she says the Prime will be on their Sunday ad.
What if I just went there do you think they would sell it to me ?
I would go in and play dumb. Tell them that it shows it in stock in the store so you came in to buy it. It's easy for them to deny you on the phone, but in the store it's harder. If they try and deny you the buy, ask to speak to a manager. Also see if you can buy online and pick up in store. They would have to sell it to you that way as well.

Oh, and the lady also said if I ordered and did store pickup then the order would be cancelled because they are not allowed to sell it yet. Not sure how they can do that ... some guys in this thread have already purchased theirs in store just this week ...
I would ask to speak with the store manager at that point. It's a binding contract once you buy. If they cancelled it on me after I bought it online and drove to pick it up, I would want some kind of retribution, kinda like a restocking fee if I bought it and returned it because I no longer needed it.

That is very strange. I did a search of the Best Buys in NYC and noticed that a few of them showed them in stock online. I spoke to the rep at the Chelsea store and they had just received a few of them in stock today and she put one on hold for me to pick up tonight.
Been checking BB online now since late late December. No BB store within 100 miles has had any. Just so happen to check the independent BB Mobility stores and they had one! After a 2 hour round trip, I finally have a Prime! Very nice so far. Very hesitant on the ICS update tho, looks like it can bring more heartache than joy.....
Ok, so this morning i found out one of the BB's near me had some in stock and the others are ship to store, so i bought one for store pick up. When i got there the guy told me that this morning they were informed that they are not allowed to sell it yet but since i was able to do so online they sold it to me anyway
I checked again BB's website just now and the ASUS prime now shows unavailable for all stores and the ship to store option gone ...

That sounds fishy....I can't imagine they would not sell it to you if you were there in person. Especially if you talked to a manager and made a big deal about it

Exchange?

I bought my skyrocket January 20th will I be able to exchange it for the galaxy note when it comes out?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
According to AT&T's policy you have 30 days to make up your mind on the phone. But since the Note isn't available yet you might have to return it and wait a few days.
So if I wait until the 19th will it be to late?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I would personally return it now. Feb 19th is your 30th day (31 in jan) and inventory could be limited. Ive heard some horror stories of carrier stores not exchanging for a new phone on launch day and they cited some BS excuse that they claimed is in some random piece of documentation allowing them to deny you an exchange on launch. I have a concession line at an ATT corporate store and I know I am not allowed to get it on launch just because "the manager said so"
Ok thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
If you still have the phone you had before your skyrocket, you could just return the skyrocket and pre-order the Note in-store and just use the old phone until the Note comes out on the 19th. That way you guarantee you get in before your 30 days are up.
I ask the guy that works there and he said I couldn't preorder it in store

This is exactly why I don't buy any phones from these stores. I call AT&T and order the phone through a rep. When you buy directly from AT&T you can always speak to a manager or someone other than an store employee. I've had no problem doing it this way and I know several people who got screwed dealing with those AT&T Corp Stores.
Refer to the thread where the phone could not be found in our system.
Yes, it can be preordered in cor stores, but there have been issues with the phone not being found in OPUS.
Today it appears to be working.
Escalate your problem to the manager and he or she will more lonely likely know what to do. I had the same problem with getting a skyrocket on the 24the and wanted to return it for the note and the employees did not know what to do. The manager was within ear shot and was able to remedy the problem.

Corp Stores
I don't know what corp stores you go to but the one by me is great (although I didn't preorder with them so I could get free case from Best Buy) I was going to get the HTC Vivid a few months back talking to a Store rep he wanted to know what I was looking for in the phone and suggested I wait for the Galaxy Note I stopped in every now and then and he updated me on what he knew was comming he even let me know about the free case from best buy and said he would match that for me on preorder if they were getting the same one but on the 4th he didn't think they were getting the same one I went to Best Buy and preordered but the service I get in the Corp Store is awesome they keep up on rumors and new phones software and inform me alot of the time.

I'm not saying they are all bad (corp stores) but most of them are. Especially the ones by me. Every time I go into one of them Corp AT&T stores none of them seem knowledgeable about new products, they are rushing me to buy a phone I don't want, their prices are a lot higher than going through AT&T website and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Not to mention I feel like I'm wasting their time when I come in just to take a look. I hate those effen stores and I don't want to give them any business.
Some of my friends and family tried to return phones to them and got a ridiculous run around. I don't have time for their BS. I've returned several phones to AT&T directly without issue. I returned a returned a Fuze that I used for several months and got a Tilt 2. Try getting the same courtesy from one of those Corp Stores.
I personally feel more comfortable dealing with AT&T directly.

store availability date

i bought a samsung gs3 on nov. 8th. couple days later heard about the dna (i don't know how i missed it). i have 14 days to return or exchange and what not. i went to the store a couple times asking about exchanging it for the dna since the preorder is available and the store date is nov. 21st putting me right in the window. first guy said he would have to find out how to do it since it was a new line also and would call me that day but never did call me. then tonight i went back and explained everything and she called him and he said oh you wouldn't like it, the gs3 is much nicer, and he got to play with it and the battery was awful, it would be a real headache for you to exchange it. i said i still wanted it and they said we checked the warehouse and they don't have any yet and we won't have them until the end of the month. saying things to convince me i don't want to do it.
this all sounds more like they just don't want to do it and don't what to end up with a return. i told them people have received shipping notifications, they replied with that's probably not what they meant, they wouldn't be shipping already.
is there a confirmed store date on these? i wanted one before just because i wanted one but now i want one with the added spite of sticking them with a return.
Everything I heard points to the 21st. Verizon said on their site that they will start shipping the DNA's on the 19th, and with the two day shipping they will also arrive on the 21st. You can exchange your phone until the 22nd, so you should be fine.
Yup, it's officially the 21st. I'm guessing they are getting paid more commission to sell off a lot of the GS3s before the DNAs start selling, or they lose it if you try to switch (or don't want to do the work).

I am thinking the same...I made an internet order this morning and it shipped out around noon for delivery on the 21st.
I certainly hope so. I'm planning on swinging around to my local store after work on Friday in hope that they'll have some on hand. The reps at my store don't know anything when it comes to dates except one guy, but he's hardly there anymore.
I can say that they showed up for store ordering today so you should be able to pick it up in a store soon... if I were you I would just return it to the gs3 to the store you got it from and then get it somewhere else since those guys are assholes...

I have some stupid verizon stores in my area because none of them could give me an update and one lady didn't even know what it was.
WTF!!!
At the announcement of the DNA official spokesmen said it was being released on the 21st. There's no question it will be.
Threaten to cancel the line and return the S3. They will balk. Wife didn't like the I phone 4 when switching to Verizon, they wanted to charge a restock fee and told me how much she would hate android, blah blah, blah. Told them fine. Cancel the line, I'll return the phone, pay the fee and open a new line online through Amazon and get my phone through them since they were being difficult. Walked out of the store with the thunderbolt and didn't pay a dime extra (was a hundred more than iphone at the time). They don't want to lose commissions. Also, try to never shop at authorized dealers. Stick to corporate stores.

They are BSing you Ask to talk to the store manager or supervisor.If they won't help call VZW customer service. They have always helped me..
i had no idea this place wasn't a corporate store. they only sell verizon and have nothing but verizon signs and whatnot. i got real hot when i found that out.
I second the "only shop at a corporate store". Seriously, only suckers wander into the "authorized retailers". You can spot them by looking at the signs. It'll say really small under the Giant Verizon banner like "USA wireless or GO wireless or John Doe wireless, Authorized Retailer". I've never stepped foot in one except when I needed a charger in an emergency. They charged me like $30. Yeah, screw them. The corporate stores can handle all customer service needs, and the staff is always more knowledgeable and helpful.
Authorized Retailers aren't always good with customer service or phone problems. I'd only use a select few places for getting a phone besides Verizon (Amazon, Best Buy, etc). There is a place near me that has no signs except "Verizon" with "Authorized Retailer" underneath. People probably don't realize they aren't the same as Verizon corporate stores.
I would return the phone and get the DNA from a corporate store.
Stopped by my local store today, and surprise, they told me they couldn't sell me a DNA because it would be off contract and they would only have enough for the new people to buy if they had any at all.

Called just now and they indeed said they will have them tomorrow.

Called another corporate store, both confirmed stock for me and the second one also confirmed they had them in stock and will sell them tomorrow. So you guys shouldn't have trouble getting them at your local corporate store.
after a short conversation with veriszon customer service got things worked out.
the gs3 had to be returned to the store i bought it at and that store would not be getting the phone on the 21st. to save my number verizon did a equipment swap and put my number on a old phone. then told me to return the phone and buy it at a corporate store on the 21st. i still get to buy it at the discounted price and keep my number,

Verizon Availability

I called my friend who is a manager at a Verizon corporate store yesterday and he claims that he isn't even sure if they'll have any G2s in stock on Thursday or not. He claims they might have to order them. Has anyone else checked with their local Verizon store? I assumed that every corporate store would at least have a few of these on Thursday.....
Meanwhile I'm playing with my ATT version one already =P, just kidding, I did stop into a corporate verizon store to see if they had accessories already, and the store I went said they hadn't gotten anything for the G2 in yet, and that they werent sure either if they'd have the phone on Thursday..I left and was like that sucks for Vzw users.
I can't believe Verizon would screw this up that bad after announcing in their press release that they would be available in store and online on the 12th.They pulled it up in the store I was at Sunday and it said releasing on all channels the 12th.Maybe they will get their shipment in tomorrow.I don't think it is going to be heavily promoted with the Note 3 release as well as the new iphone release.

Spoke to a store in Seattle and they said they were trained on the device and it was due in on Thursday but that seemed iffy. He said they will put it out the night before. I still wonder why there is so little on the website and the GN3 is out there for pre-order. Doesn't seem like they wanna sell the G2 over the GN3.

Money talks.I am sure Samsung is paying a lot of money to the carriers to get this preferred treatment.
my former boss runs a franchise store and they'll have it Thursday... which is why I avoid corporate verizon stores at all cost.

Spoke to a store in Seattle and they said they were trained on the device and it was due in on Thursday but that seemed iffy. He said they will put it out the night before. I still wonder why there is so little on the website and the GN3 is out there for pre-order. Doesn't seem like they wanna sell the G2 over the GN3.

Speaking of. I have not seen one commercial yet for the g2. I don't recall what they did with the sg3 when it came out on verizon if there were commercials before or after. Kinda sad. Sleeper hit of the year.

I am pretty sure corporate stores will have them Thursday as well they are just clueless.It took 4 people 10 minutes to figure out how to be able process the payoff on my installment loan.They did not know anything about the G2 until they looked it up on their computer.
agreed. there's no marketing and hardly any training I've heard, so i think corporate store reps are just idiots.
no I don't think that, I know it. when i ran a franchise store, the horror stories of corporate idiot reps along with my own past truly made me realize how much better going to anywhere but a corporate store is lol

I would go elsewhere but the corporate stores are the only ones that can do the 12 month installment plan.I don't want to tie my money up until I sell my current phone and its my only phone so I can't sell it first.I finance it then pay it off when my previous phone sells.
ahh yes I understand. eh I'm just gonna buy it up front and then sell my s4..hoping I can get at least 475 to 500 since it's rooted mdk..

I spoke with a rep over the phone and she informed me that the phone will be released on all channels Thursday. Due to my work hours I'm going to order it on Thursday morning and pay for overnight shipping. I should have it for Friday night.
I'm selling my Note 2 for this.

The rep I chatted with said $599.99 which would be inline with everyone else's price.
Has anyone seen any photos of Verizon's variant besides that press release picture? I can't seem to track down anything.
16 gb or 32 gb, white option too?
I just spoke with a VZW store in Salisbury, MD. They have no idea about the phone except that theyll have it Thursday. The representative told me all they would get was the 16 gb model--this seems to contradict everything else i've heard about the storage

doubt it. again, corporate reps are not too bright.
then again, i wouldn't put it past verizon to screw us every chance we get.

The rep I chatted with online said only black and 32GB available at launch.
I would say the Verizon corporate stores will have them Thursday. I only deal with my local corporate store and they are never in the loop with anything. They even tell me that, they say VZW is horrible about giving them information. Also it better be 32gb cause if its only 16gbs that will suck and ill have to look else where.
