Letstalk shipping status...

Just thought the Letstalk crowd could use one of these since the Wirefly folks have one and don't seem happy about sharing that thread.
Also, about to complete an order with Letstalk, if anyone wants $25 off I can try to add you as a friend referral during check out. PM me if interested.

Ordered mine Monday from Letstalk. My status still says its awaiting carrier approval.

Ordered mines on Tuesday and it says the same thing.

Ditto...
I called cause I was getting Jealous of the shipping status on Wirefly. Rep said it says that because the phone is not technically out yet. She said it will probably ship Freaking Monday and I will get it Tuesday. Since overnight shipping does not work on the weekends

Ordered monday night, had to call in to verify CC info and was told phones should be in sometime Thursday and will ship Friday.
The rep said this was not concrete so things may change.
My order shows Ready for Fulfillment, and Carrier Approval on the second status.

I cancelled my order with them...I used a referall and got $25 off making my wirefly order $125. I then went on chat and requested free overnight and they did it. I placed the order at 1pm on Wednesday, 9/14 and 3 hours later at 4pm it showed shipped. They are actually going out tomm, so I'll have it by friday
you have to ask the chat reps to "expedite your order by forwarding your account to the activation team" they will do it and next thing you know, your status is literally changing through the steps every 15 mins....they are quick!
I have a corp account which doesn't have activation fees, so I'm good. In my entire history with sprint, i've never had a single activation fee. it all depends on which corp discount you have
if you want to still place a order and want $25 off, just use my link and we'll both save that amount.

I think Ima do this.. Freaking LetsTalk! I want my phone ON FRIDAY! lol
The 25 off is not up front?

Well, at this rate 1am eastern thurs. If anyone were to change over to wirefly now, do you think they'd still ship it out thurs? They'ed probably end up going out on Friday at this point, no?

the main thing is you have to keep pestering them every step of the way....their status updates are deadly accurate....
i had to call in twice since it said so and as soon as I hung up, it went back to normal. Something about a mismatch with my pin. and verify my address
so keep a look out on your status ...they are really quick about it seems....
i think the main ting is to get them to give u free overnight and it will bump you
i honestly had 3 orders placed....letstalk, amazon, and now wirefly. They don't activate your account or touch your upgrade till they actually open the box to program your phone and when one does it first, others can't do it. I still cancelled both orders though
with the $$, it only places a hold on your credit card, not actually charging it till shipping. so no mess to clean up.

exactly, but remember to utilize the online chat and ask for free shiping because letstalk has the free overnight
after that, go to another rep and ask them to expedite you

If you pull this off please let us know. Just seems kind of late in the process for them to get ship it out to you before friday. If it was still 1pm 9/14 I'd say go for it, but 1:30am 9/15...
Do regular people (non-corporate account holders) get free activation at wirefly?

I was about too until I realized it would be 150 upfront and like 30days later u get the 25back. Smh I would want to buy a converter right now with that 25bucks lol.
Also my car payment is due this friday, My check wont go through with all these pending statuses lol.

Did you at least get the $25 off referral from Letstalk?

Just called about my order that was placed on monday. She said her supervisor told her they wouldn't be getting the phone in until friday and if they got them early enough, they would go out that day. Thus making the earliest I would see it, would be monday. I got nosey and asked how many orders they had so I could find out if it may go straight to backorder. She said at this point they only had about 100 orders for the phone and they had way more than that coming in. I know this may conflict with what others have been told, but that was the story that I got.

I hope this is the case. Some of their reps seem really dodgy to me, like they really hate their jobs.

Even if LetsTalk takes an extra week to ship, I don't mind, as I only payed $80 for this superphone. Sure I'd be disappointed, but still an amazing deal.

^Agreed^ but as with most all my purchases I want immediate gratification.

I agree, getting my upgrade for 123.99 with free overnight shipping, waived activation, and no tax is totally worth the wait.

Sprint Galaxy S III 4G LTE now for $149.99 @ Wirefly F&F

Wirefly’s Friends and Family site is now showing that new and existing Sprint subscribers can order the Galaxy S III for just $149.99, the lowest price seen to date, through the company’s Friends and Family site.

Just figured somebody like me may have been waiting for the price to drop a bit.

That's what I'm gonna pay for it at bb

remember Wirefly adds a second agreement... if you ok with that, $150 sounds great! Myself, I went with Costco online $175 after $25 mail-rebate, no extra agreements and90 day return policy.

So when we purchase the phone at Bestbuy they give us a $50 gift card on top of the phone freedom gift card? I can't find anything on Bestbuy's website that says that. Already signed up for the phone freedom promotion. Would love 50 more dollars.

Think I'm going to jump on this deal.
I was trying to hold out for a 32gb phone over the 16 but I just got a 64 gb SD card as well. Considering at this point it would cost another $100 to get the extra 16 gb, it just doesn't make much sense to wait, IMO.
Also, I can find nothing strange about the Wirefly agreement other than you have 14 days to return it to them if you don't like it as opposed to taking it back to a Sprint store.
What says yous?

I don't see it on the website either, but it is the same promotion they've been offering on the Evo LTE. This is what they offered me in-store. Not sure about online sales.

When ahead and got this deal. I should get $50 cash back from my bank as well.
That puts me at $100 for the device. It's a blue 16GB version. But for $150 less than a white 32GB version, I can live with it.
Even at $50 difference between the 16 and 32 it's just not worth it when you consider I just got a brand new SanDisk 64GB card for $50.
Their web site says they are shipping tomorrow, but I highly doubt that.

safe?
is wireflyfriends.com safe? I know of wirefly.com/autocontent.aspx?pageid=3586&referringdomain=wiredneirf, but the first one seems fishy. When you go to the checkout page, the site isn't secured, while the second one is. Sorry if I seem a bit paranoid.

I'm more concerned about this 'second agreement'.
can someone shed some light on that? Does it tack another agreement after this one or something?

I think you are talking about the fact that the phone needs to be connected on the same line for at least 6 months:
"By accepting the ISD, you agree to keep your account in good standing and keep your wireless plan and features as activated for at least 180 days.
You agree to repay $200 of this discount ($400 for smartphones, tablets, and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, your carrier notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended, disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of the return and exchange provisions of our 14-day Satisfaction Guarantee.
Please note some of the reasons your carrier may notify us of a deactivation include if:
You transfer this equipment to another line of service after it is activated
You change your rate plan to a lower monthly service rate than was specifically required at the point of purchase
You deactivate texting/data features that were specifically required at the point of purchase
The new line of service activated with your order is used to replace a pre-existing account"

if only i had an upgrade :/

Credit Card Charged for Pre-Order

Pre-ordered online about 10:00am Central Time, and I see AT&T has already charged my credit card the $300. Does that mean it's shipping already?

most definitely pending. ive never seen charges go through on the same day.

Could be a hold, I guess. The entry is "10/25 ATT K008 9969 BETHLEHEM PA $297.68". There's an identical entry for $1, which is the "is it valid" check. I remember at checkout there was a message to be sure the card had enough balance for the charge on the ship date, or the order would be canceled. That contradicts with the idea of them putting a hold.
Anyway .... something to talk about while waiting. Did anyone else get charged?

Yes, when checking out, it said a hold would be placed for the amount of the purchase. The phones will ship out starting on Nov 6 and the charge will go through and show up on your statement..

10/25/2012 AT T MOBILITY IALPHARETTA -- TEMP $x.xx
10/25/2012 AT T MOBILITY IALPHARETTA -- TEMP $xxx.xx

Min has the full amount as an authorization. Should fall off in a few days if I am correct.

mine got charged this morning too for the full amount but doesn't say anything about an authorization.

Mine got charged too because it was flagged as possible fraudulent activity, and Visa called me.
I even told the lady, they weren't supposed to charge me yet, but oh well.

Yeah the only think on my account were three 1 dollar charges.

Full charge on mine this morning.

It depends what kind of card - Usually debit cards get charged or a hold for full amount. Credit cards get a different deal, varies from bank to bank. If you don't have the funds. and its a check card or debit card, don't pre-order - it will not go through. Usually it drops back off in a 3-6 day period, then re-charged, over and over until it ships ( at least that's Best Buys MO. )

Used a credit card. There's definitely a hold in place, but the transaction hasn't cleared yet (and presumably won't until it ships).

I'm the OP. Just want to give an update that the charges have dropped off my CC now, as others suggested it would.

At this point, treat it like a pre-order. Put your order in, don't opt for faster shipping, wait, and hope.
Or, wait for other retailers to stock it, depending on your plan.

I would recommend placing your order online and just play the waiting game. One, when I ordered mine at 6am on April 29th, it gave me a message stating that my item was backordered and wasn't expected to ship until May 1st, when it actually ended up shipping that night and I got it the next day. And secondly, you want to place the order online to get the next day delivery, even if it is out of stock. But I can't say that you won't get the overnight shipping if you call, not sure how that would work since I ordered mine online.
Also, just as a side note for those who are iffy about T-mobile's service, I've had my wifi turned on ever since I got my phone and the service is top notch... wayyyyyyyy better than Sprint, speaking from experience. Cheers mates!

same thing happened to me, i was told on MONDAY (29th) by a CS representative that they were back-ordered, however i took a leap of faith and order online on TUESDAY (30th) with next day shipping and it said it would be delivered on the May 8th, however they mailed it and i got it WEDNESDAY May 1st . i guess the trick is to order online with next day shipping, and as of right now they are offering free next day shipping. So the trick is ORDER ONLINE and then play the waiting game, if it doesn't ship by the 5th/6th just call back and cancel and get it in store on the 8th. U have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If they charge u for next day shipping when ordering online just call the TMO CS representative and mention to the the free next day shipping promotion and they will adjust the price. (call AFTER you make sure your UPS package has shipped using the tracking #, calling prior to shipping may lead to CS representative pushing back your order...you've been WARNED) From there GOOD LUCK and Enjoy your S4 whenever u get it.

Question
For those who have ordered with T-Mobile via the $149 down and $20 a month...
Do you have to pay tax on the $149 down AND taxed on the $20 a month? Or do you get taxed just on the $149?

You get taxed on the entire $630. You pay the whole amount of the tax with your downpayment (about $45 in my case). After that, it's only $20 a month (no additional tax).

i was/am and existing customer too. And the offer promotion didnt say existing customers excluded therefore it was valid for exisiting and non existing customers as long as u ordered on or before the 2nd of may they HAVE TO refund shipping, i would ask for corporate as it clearly stated on their website free next day overnight shipping if u order online valid until the 2nd of May. Anything less than a refund would be false advertising. Its really up to u how much effort u want to put into getting your money back and how well u explain it to them, but it really shouldn't be much explaining as the website clearly stated it was free next day shipping and its not your fault they didn't adjust their online ordering system to reflect the "promotion"

You should be able to. When you log-in to my.t-mobile.com, under Support on the top links, there is 'Order Status' on the very right. Put your order number and zip there. I have to do that since my new orders aren't showing up automatically on the Manage page.

Samsung's return policy?

Wondering what their return policy is? Also how long can I hold on to my trade in? If Samsung can't fix the supposedly sht camera during the return period, I will be doing a return.

15 days to ship the trade in.
30 days for returns of you bought with credit/debit card.
14 days for returns if you bought with Samsung credit/upgrade programs.
Either case 15% restock fee.

30 days for returns of you bought with credit/debit card.
14 days for returns if you bought with Samsung credit/upgrade programs.
Either case 15% restock fee.

They're going to keep $240 on a $1599 purchase? Ouch!
$35-$50 carrier assessed restock fees are a bargain in comparison!

Guess so, though I'm sure there are ways around it.
"What is your return policy?
Please note that you may be charged a 15% Restocking Fee for non-defective returned items. The restocking fee does not apply to the GX-SM530CF Smart Media Player if it is returned within 30 days of purchase."

Wondering what their return policy is? Also how long can I hold on to my trade in? If Samsung can't fix the supposedly sht camera during the return period, I will be doing a return.

If you knew about the sht Cameras then why did you order the phone in the first place? You could have waited. Shrug

When you pre order the phone on day one, no one knew that there were camera issues. Shrug

Exactly! If Samsung charges me a 15% restock fee, I will be contacting my credit card for a dispute. If the camera really does suck, they should refund me 100%.

Your fine man.. if the camera is having issues they can't charge you a restocking fee. Just stick to your guns! Then like you said, you have your CC company for backup. If Samsung gives you a hard time I'd even say your CC company will back you up. I'm hoping they fix the issues and we don't need to worry about returning.

I've returned phone to them before and was not charged a restocking fee. It usually applies to opened accessories.

Same, I returned two Note10 +'s about a month apart for the camera with no fees. As long as it's in like new condition with all the accessories it should be fine.

Not sure why people are claiming 15% restocking fees, I also returned my note 10 without any fees

That's good, I want trying to post inaccurate info, but instead what I found from Samsung's own sure.
Good to know they don't have a restocking fee though, since I have 2 Ultras on the way and only really want 1 lol.
