Anyone Else Order From Best Buy? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I took a quick look and didn't find any Best Buy topics. I pre-ordered a Verizon Note 8 Orchid Gray. Still charged and no movement. Btw I did the best buy preorder to get the 150 instant off

Just got off the phone with Best Buy to see if I'm among the fortunate of getting it before 09/15 with the preorder. Sadly, Best Buy is gonna keep that solid 09/15 date.

Same response I got. Debating if the 150$ was worth it. (Probably was, but Im not patient)

I ordered through AT&T, but Best Buy also told me 9/15 in person when I went there to fiddle with the floor model.

Hey thanks guys..been off xda for awhile. I cancelled two Verizon preorders for the Best Buy deal because it was worth it for me. Guess we have to wait

We're talking $10 a day here. Maybe 15

I cancelled my VZW pre-order yesterday and went with Best Buy to save the 150. I'll be OK waiting until the 15th.

happens everytime lol. so funny. I pre order from vzw. best buy ships early.. I order from bestbuy. verizon ships early... i give up lol.

Anyone notice you can no longer make changes to your Best Buy pre order? I didn't notice that yesterday. It seems like at least 2 of the carriers are shipping now despite what VZW and Samsung say.

I ordered from best buy kinda wish i would have from vzw for the chance to get it early but with the 150 savings and i just ordered the whitestone dome screen protector guess its a good thing i have to wait

I know. I had a VZ pre-order done within minutes when it went live. I cancelled yesterday to get the 150 off and still get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Oh well, in the long run we'll be glad we saved the 150.

150 buys the vr goggles.

So from reading the other chats, looks like Samsung is holding the deliveries for everyone. Maybe we'll get them the same time as everyone

Great way to look at it lol

Does anyone know how the trade in works. It says you have to go through Verizon. I didn't see anything about it when I ordered

I ordered two of them a couple of days ago. Best Buy says that they'll be in my hands by 9/15. Hope it's true.

Check out the VZW waiting room thread. I spoke to VZW and Best Buy at length about this. VZW told me if you buy from Best Buy I don't get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Best Buy says I do and that they made that deal with Verizon months ago. The idiot from VZ said he saw the promo for buying it from VZW and one for when you walk into Best Buy and preorder it but nothing about buying on line. I did screen shots from the Best Buy site showing that the 480 deal with the fine print that the deal is directly with VZ. Best buy says once I activate my Note 8 I have to take my S7 Edge into a Verizon corporate store and they will take the phone and apply the discount to my monthly payments. They also told me that it takes 3 months before the credit will come through but it's pro rated from the day you buy the phone.
We will see. To save 150 I'm willing to beat up VZW.

Thanks for the information.. before I ordered I thought best buy did the trade in but I guess not ..I'm still looking on eBay and swappa for a trade in device

It would be hilarious if the carriers are instructed to hold the shipments at the distribution centers until the 14th! LOL

Classic story.
The guy on the first shoulder says "You are saving money every month by waiting a week or two, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the phone."
The other guy says "Cancel that Best Buy order today, order from AT&T. You've been using an iPhone for 9 months you have suffered enough. The discount isn't worth using an iPhone for one more week."
Then the first guys says "Oh come on, the iPhone isn't THAT bad."
Then the second guy pulls out a handgun and shoots him.
I don't know what to do.

My Best Buy order status has changed from "Processing" to "Preparing". I logged onto my Verizon wireless account and attempted to trade in my Pixel XL. It shows a promotional $480 trade in value! I also noticed my line is no longer eligable for trade in and I owe $786/24 payments! I hope it ships soon!

Best Buy in Sacramento says they have them now but can only sell them tomorrow. He also said come early.
Would I be able to get this at Best Buy while extending my contract?
I'm good for an upgrade now. Will best buy be able to give me the $200 price tag as an upgrade?
Normally (other) stores say I need to go through AT&T.
Pre-Order for Sunday (Oct.2) Pickup
I can personally confirm that Best Buy is accepting pre-orders for units they have locked up in the store.
I just made a $50 pre-order in Sacramento. Looked like they had 5-6 units on their locked shelf, one of which he scanned for my order.
Not aware of any other stores that will have them for pick-up tomorrow.
Feels like these will be hard to obtain for these early days.
Good luck everyone and happy Adroiding....

What part of Northern California. I'm in Redding and our Best Buy will have them. I pre-ordered mine, but I called to make sure it would be there tomorrow and the guy told me they had 8 in stock in addition to the pre orders.

Best Buy, what a joke

I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

Boy you got that right!
Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.

We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att . That went over employee news. We can do something called a instant ship though. Which takes about 1 biz day. Cause we basicaly get it from a near att store. lol

Does the Best Buy package come with the HDMI adapter? My box doesn't have one but I read in a review that AT&T was including it free.

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.

Just ordered one from BestBuy for $99

Just ordered my a Flyer from bestbuy.com for $99
I had to use their mobile site, but it worked.
here is a picture =-)
ok, first upload failed, here is the pic.
Nice discount , but currently sold out online http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HTC+-+F...hite/2390524.p?skuId=2390524&id=1218332598563
funny, seeing it for $300 made me happy, $100 makes me mad. Feel pretty ripped off now for paying the original!
Oh wow!
Very glad I bought mine when I did. As any chances they're gonna bring it back?
I ordered mine as an in store pick up option. Any chances they will do a price adjustment if I go to pick it up today?

There website says they will give you the lower price.
I purchased 3 of these with pens over the weekend (for me and the kids). Called best buy this morning to ask about the price match guarantee. Apparently, the refund amt was too much for the CS rep to authorize, but she says someone will call me today or tomorrow to verify that I will get the refund. Whoo Hoo! Hopefully, that will be about $720 refund on the 3 tablets and pens!
Mobile site won't let me do store pickup either. Going to my local BB at 10:00 when the open. Worth a shot.
They open up at 9 a.m. here. Still trying to figure out why I need one. LoL Maybe I'll use it to control my HTPC using XBMC. :-D
Going to my local BB in a half an hour, also. Might pick up two!

I'm on hold with the rep myself to ask about the price adjustment.
If I can get this for $100, this will perhaps be the greatest deal I've made this whole year, lol.
But that would be really awesome for you! Getting $600 off on your tablets. 3 tabs for $100 is amazing.
I called and talked to them today after seeing this thread. I purchased mine on Saturday. I used my Best Buy CC with the 18 month financing, so my concern is that the won't do the match because of that. I saw something on their site about it. But the guy on the phone said he "personally couldn't approve it, and was forwarding it to the credit department". I should have an answer via email in the next 10 minutes.
I'm hoping that it goes through. I'll update.
They just posted on the door that regular price is $299 and that it was an error for $99 they will not honor the price.

I just got off the phone with a customer rep and she told me that my price was adjusted to $100 and the $200 refund should be reflected in my next bill.

Sold out online, sold out within a 50 mile radius of Orlando...... this is HUGE, can't wait for them to get more in stock online or in store so I can get two to use as media devices around the house!
Just got back from Bestbuy. It was a pricing error. There was a short line when I got there waiting to get in. At least 4 people walked in and out within 2 minutes after being informed that they are NOT getting the flyer for $99. Oh well. :-/
It was an OOPS, saw the notice with my own eyes...

Anyone heading to AT&T store this Sunday to try and pick one up?

Checked the store yesterday, they had 22 in stock for today. Arrived at store 8:42 no one in line, Beaverton Oregon.

Watchung NJ there were 3 people getting it when i arrived and according to the sales rep they had around 20 Note's. By the way this phone is rocks....!
I was at best buy when they opened at 11, I was only one there. While they were activating my note 4 other people came and they were all pre order pick ups. And yes this phone does rock
Called my normal store at about 12:30 after they had been open for 30 minutes. They had not had one request for the phone. I was a bit surprised. I asked him to put a black one (I know it is carbon blue) away for me. I went by at 1 pm and they still had not had any requests for the phones except me. I bought it no commitment. Will try it out for 30 days to see how it compares to my International Version and if LTE makes this worth keeping.
Slow day for the GNote in Plano.
I went around 1pm and I was the 2nd person to buy one. I bought it off contract due to my usps delivery issue and will return this one and get my refund when I get the usps one
Noone is interested in this phone? Or poor marketing?
Just picked mine up today and my AT&T store had plenty in stock. Also left Sprint today and and floored by how badly AT&Ts 3.5G speeds destroy the Sprint 4G I had. Bring on LTE. Sure I am paying about $10 more a month but it is worth it to finally have speeds I can use. My previous phone was an Epic 4G Touch so the Note is pretty much just a larger version for me.

I would say that most of the people who were really interested in this phone preordered it to either take advantage of the Friday delivery or the $50 plus free case at Best Buy.
I did see one guy camped out waiting on the iphone 5...
lol!
did just that.......after spending like 2 hours on the phone with best buy to cancel my order.....i got my note at the att store....no case no 50 bucks off....but i got it........best buy is backorder and have no idea when they will ship it.....one happy camper....should had initially get it from att in the first place

OH yea, and on Friday once I knew my order wasnt coming and I went to the store, the manager almost convinced me to wait until I recieve it whenever that was. So today I just added the off contract note to one of my other lines and changed nothing to the other line and all I did was throw my sims in it. This was the actual advice from customer service last night. They would waive or credit me any restocking fee once I return the full price off contract note. On top of that I got $50 free in note accessories and $150 credit to my account......and I'm not done yet. By the time I get my preorder delayed note I'll be calling back customer service for more credit for pain and suffering lol. In the end this pre-ordered phone wont have cost me much huh
Great device btw, I'm still trying to take it all in

This has been my experience with every device launch haha....except when the GS2 hit.
went to best buy at 11:15. Went over to the mobile desk thing, said i was here to pick up my phone. they said Maria? my mom said yes and then they said we were the only people getting a note. while i was playing with it about 4 kids said they want that tablet. and i smugly said it was a phone. I love this thing

Cheapest place to buy non contract Note?

My cheapest long term option right now is to buy a Note straight up. I haven't seen any place under VZW right now. I wanted to get one for around 600. Most of the ones on ebay are going for more than original price right now.
Any suggestions for is VZW price of 699 the lowest price?
VZW price is the lowest I have found. I am going to buy it at Best Buy though so I can put it on my Best Buy CC and get 18 months no interest.

My cheapest long term option right now is to buy a Note straight up. I haven't seen any place under VZW right now. I wanted to get one for around 600. Most of the ones on ebay are going for more than original price right now.
Any suggestions for is VZW price of 699 the lowest price?

Search this forum and you will find a few threads already but I would say Amazon wireless is the cheapest but it is out of stock as of now... Tax depends on your state of course.
Best buy will pm vzw, then open a cc account...they will knock $20 off, then if you opt to pay the full amount when bill comes in, they take 4% off. Not a bad deal.
I purchased mine at BB and they PMed VZW. Also 18 months no interest or 4% rewards points. I just checked Amazon and they have it in stock for 644.99 and free shipping

That's the internation version that's not compatible with Verizon.
For the OP, keep an eye on Craigslist. Saw one the other day one day old with body skins for $600 but warranty is questionable when buying second hand.

I've never had a problem as long as you maintain the TEP on that line.

So they'll TEP devices that weren't directly purchased from them?

Same here... I started with a 16gb S3 from Craigslist and had that swapped out about 3 times and then I got a 32gb from craigslist and swapped that one out once so as long as you keep the insurance on your account than I think you are okay... They never questioned me about any receipts or asked me where I purchased my device from. :good:
I got one of craigslist for $500 on Saturday. I'd been watching them on ebay when I found this one. There are a couple more in my area for around that price.

My local Best Buy matched Amazon for 642 plus the 18 month 0% financing

How did you get them to pricemwatch the international version when the Verizon version is $699?
Showed him the link on my phone and he looked to see if it was fulfilled by Amazon.

Best Buy Purchase
Hi everyone,
I see people have purchased their Note II through Best Buy using some 18 month 0% financing. Does this mean that you can pay installments of the full retail price of the phone?
My mom's current VZW plan that I am on only has one basic phone on it in which I plan to transfer someones upgrade on it to get the Note II. But if Best Buy does the installment payments, I'm going to figure out which is cheaper to purchase and which is cheaper to upgrade between the Note II and the iPhone 5, which my sister really wants.
Looking forward to advice/suggestions.
Thanks,
SlyG07

Yes you can make a min payment of $25.00 a month and as long as you pay it before the 18 months are up you pay no interest. Just don't be even a day late or BB will start charging you interest and you lose the 0 % financing. Also as of today you have to spend a min of $429.00

Well you'll definitely have to pay $429.00+ if you're going for either phone at retail value, lol.
Love using Amazon Wireless.. no tax in my state, 2day free shipping and 30 day return policy on the phone!... even returned my SGS3 on the 30th day and no problems what so ever
I bought mine off of craigslist for $500. Just gotta watch the listings and haggle with people. Always check the ESN before accepting any device. Just call Verizon tech support and they take care of it no questions asked. I swap phones every couple months or so and my TEP has remained in tact, no questions asked. I carried my TEP over from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, an iPhone 5 and now to my Note 2.
Best Buy Financing
Just read up on the 18 month financing if making a purchase from Best Buy...You need a Best Buy Reward Zone credit card. I guess that's not an option anymore.
