Note 2 at Best Buy

Dose anyone here know if best buy is going to have them in stock on launch day? I preordered mine there on 10/27 and the employees at my local store aren't very helpful. Ťhey said I would get first one because they didn't even know it could be preordered but I would like to know when to expect it.

I pre ordered phones there before and they had them on launch day. I even got the note 10.1 there on launch day....So, I assume it will be the same. Your note 2 will be sitting in the locked drawer just waiting for you...

Has anyone ever had it delivered to their house? I ordered mine yesterday with home delivery.

My bet is the AT&T version will not be available on launch day at Best Buy. AT&T is shipping online preorders today. A group of us have been waiting for the Sprint version at Best Buy and have recently confirmed that the white version is finally arriving at the stores but they can't sell them until the 11th. Sprint stores started selling them on 10-25. This means Sprint Corporate probably had exclusivity for a couple weeks to sell the phones first and AT&T will probably do the same thing.

Picked mine up from Best Biuy on Sat in the GTA.

I just called best buy mobile and canceled my order. The Guy said they wouldn't have them for delivery until the 15th at the earliest. I'll just pick one up somewhere Friday, hopefully.

I guess I'll be calling today to check the same thing, I'll cancel my order as well if this is the case.

I called Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile in Greenwood Indiana. The Mobile store says they have it on the 11th and Best Buy store said they don't have a date yet. Suffice it to say I will be at the AT&T store at 9am picking up the Note 2 and cancelling my order with Best Buy Mobile.

Careful now...

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Cancel NOTHING until you have one in hand, as the average employee, phone rep etc. at Best Buy OR AT&T haven't a clue when they will have or ship anything other than what they hear from the folks around them. You just have to check your options, and be ready to pounce if one turns up, LOL, but canceling orders on spec is a losing game, trust me, I have been there and done that more than once. My frustration is I only have a debit card, and any pre-order I ever place always debits the money for at least a week, and then rills the charge off if it has not delivered or shipped. It ties up my money so I can't hedge my bets with a backup plan. Fortunately i git lucky this go around and have one arriving via Fedex late delivery tomorrow.

Just confirmed that Best buy mobile cannot sell a note 2 till Sunday that is the release date for them
even though I preordered for November 9th

I work for best buy mobile so I can counter-confirm your claim. We have a HARD street date for AT&T of 11/9 and sprint is 11/11. That may have been what they were referring to. Or you got a dumb employee that doesn't know how to pull up street dates. And trust me, I know more than my **** when it comes to AT&T releases for this company

I'm in NYC, 5th ave store & Union Square store confirms Sunday the 11th. But for the Sprint version. They already have them. AT&T isnt in stock yet and should arrive towards the end of the month (or 2 weeks).

so just got word that my best buy will be receiving a couple white note 2

Don't worry, I will be cancelling only after I get one from AT&T. Then I will get my gift card refunded.

Did you have the Note 2's in store as of today or are you expecting them to arrive in a truck early tomorrow?

When I called the best buy mobile number from their website, the rep claimed that they should have them in stores tomorrow according to their system. So hopefully that is the case...

Did you buy your T-Mobile Note II Online or T-Mobile Retail Store?

My online order was recently cancelled by T-Mobile for unknown reasons, possibly due to no stock. It is really frustrating especially after you wait for a week to find out the phone you ordered was on backorder and eventually cancelled. Is it better to wait and purchase online at T-Mobile's website once stocks are available again or should I purchase at the T-Mobile store? Are there any differences I should be looking out for?

Retail Store
I bought my Note 2 at the retail store. I had a similar experience with the first Note, ordered it and found out 3 days later the order was canceled because they were out of stock. In hind sight sort glad it turned out that way, loving my Note 2.

Got mine at the tmobile store. At the time it was same price in store and online. The guy activated my new sim and added the phone to my insurance. Paid full price. I was in and out of the store about 20 minutes....painless

try ordering over the phone.

That's what I did, even though I paid same price as online, I considered it good deal already, since they let me upgrade 11 months earlier than my original upgrade date.

I bought it from corporate store during promotion and I will get $200 rebate.

What's a corporate store? Is it the same as T-Mobile Retail Store?
Also the promotion you are getting, is that with contract, only?

It's corporate store, not dealer.
Do you remember the $0 promotion from 21-31 last month? This applied to Value Plan only and your contact will be reset.

I remember a promotion like that going on. However, I was inclined into a different plan. Guess, that was the reason why I waited and finally came to know T-Mobile's Online store was out-of-stock. I wouldn't mind paying the full price for the Note II. Would stores be having it ready in stock?

Did you call the number that they gave for questions? I did, and they said that it was not canceled even tho i received the same email, and they said it to be an error. I recently put my order number in and it came up cancelled, but low and behold a few hours later i received an email that my note II has shipped. I would check your CC and see if they charged it. And call in. :good: good luck

[Q] Best Buy Showing Note 4 Verizon version as $349 today.

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...

crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay

Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.

When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.

I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...

Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.

I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck

I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.

How to purchase the LG G3 FOR $379.73 off contract with T-Mobile

Based on 6.5% sales taxes.
Unfortunately part of the deal ends today.
This is what I did:
I paid full price for the phone because I am a current customer; $598.80 plus tax.
My total payment in the store was $589.73 after tax because I traded my Nexus 4 for $48.
Next step; called customer service so I could get a credit in to my account of $60, which is the online discount that T-Mobile is offering right now. Tough work but it tuned out fine.
Submitted my claim for the promotional offer in the LG official website where they are giving an $100 Visa prepaid card. Promotion ends today 12/14/2014.
Find out that AT&T was offering $55 for my Nexus 4 trade. Just because of that I will be getting another $50 credited in to my account. T-Mobile courtesy.

I am patient and very cheap lol

You can submit your claim for the $100 prepaid card up to “no later than midnight PST on 1/16/15”. So technically you have until then, because you can always play with the scanner and change dates on the bill.

By the way; $13.49! Best deal ever to purchase an original battery. Just got mine today. Was more expensive for a long time. This batteries are original and new but with minor cosmetic damage from factory. Mine came with a very little scratch and a very minimal indentation. From amazon warehouse. Read the reviews!

Haha, me too. I purchased my G3 two days past the battery promotion. Changed the date that time on my receipt to two days prior and 5 weeks later I got my extra battery and charger. :good:

Turns out that I got the phone for $17 cheaper than title said. T-Mobile pays you $50 + the difference on the trade price of the competitor. Good to know!

How are you guys changing the date on the sales receipt from the phone?
I think i bought mine in August or October but I'd really like a hundred bucks back lol

LG G4 on at&t

Who s going to preorder it ?? Pre order starts may 29 12:01am

I tried pre ordering on best buy website but it wouldn't let me. I called them and they said that they are in the process of removiing all ordering of AT&T devices online. You now can only order or pre order in-store only. But they weren't certain that you could even do that any more. The rep and a supervisor stated its a recent change as of last week. I called Att and they said the only promo's they had was like $5 off a stupid selfie stick. So I will be trying my to get best buy and their $100 gift card to let me order it through them instead of Att. We'll see I'll be stopping by tomorrow.
BTW Att said they will have pre order starting tomorrow and available on the 5th

I was able to pre-order from Best Buy as a 2-yr subsidized phone instead of NEXT. Just had to go into the store. No real hoops to jump through, took about 10 minutes and a good chunk of that was from a frozen computer. Although I still haven't been told when I'll be able to pick it up. I'm hoping it's same as AT&T stores.

I may get the h815 version. Had the major att bands for lte

I had preordered through BestBuy because of the $100 gift card but was going to buy the phone straight up for $629.99 but they had a later release date (6/12). Checked the preorder through AT&T and they let me do a 2 year contract and get it for $199.99. Which to me is a way better deal IMO. So cancelled with BB and ordered with AT&T earlier today and I just got an email saying it shipped. :good::good:

I wanted to preorder through AT&T, but they don't ship until after the 12th, so I just went ahead and ordered from AT&T, because it ships by the 1st or 2nd....

Pre ordered this morning and mine will be shipped out monday 6-1.

Anyone heard if Bestbuy will be shipping on 6/5 instead of 6/12?

still undecided if i get the tmo or att version to run on att
or maybe switch carriers to tmo. any thoughts? in far north Dallas.

I ordered from Best buy yesterday. The chick wouldn't tell me anything about when they would be ready for pick up. The only thing she said was that they usually have the phones before the carriers do. I'm not in any hurry to get the phone I just needed a new phone because my screen is going out on my G2. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even upgrade. Hopefully we get emails saying they are ready for pickup sooner rather then later though.

Just went into ATT store to pre-order to get the spare battery and 32G sdcard. One wrinkle ... I still have unlimited international data (YAY) and there was absolutely no way to preorder and keep that. I was there for over an hour, most of it with the rep on the phone trying to figure out how to keep the unlim-data.
Turns out you can NOT pre-order and keep that feature - it will force you to a 3G plan. The only way is to walk in and buy one *from store inventory*, then I can keep the unlim-data.
So be careful - if you have expired features, they may get whacked ...
With the pre-order you can get a 7" tablet for $0.99, but it's a new device on your plan - $10/mo. By buying from store inventory, it's an 8" tablet with stylus.

Preordered through BB as well (ATT). 6/5 verified, well the truck gets in the 4th so I may see if I can pick it up a day early

Is it confirmed that you don't get the $100 gift card if you buy the device outright without a contract?

Anyone that ordered through AT&T get a shipping confirmation yet? I was reading in another thread that one user that also ordered from AT&T checked his status and it says "Back ordered" . Just checked mine and it says preorder processing. I did order on 5/29 around 12:30am.

After preordering phones through at&t website for years, I figured I would have learned my lesson about their mess. I have not gotten any info yet either except preparing to ship for the past few days.
Update: Just got my tracking.

FWIW I went to an AT&T store today to potentially go and pre-order one. However the rep told me that they would have ample stock on Friday and it would just be easier to come back then and pick one up in store. They assured me that stock would not be an issue. That might be a good alternative for anyone looking to pick one up.

So I just got the email with the tracking info. Says it will be here on Thursday!
