Has anyone gotten a check from Samsung after returning your Note 7?

If so, how long did it take from the time they got your phone?

My phone was received on Oct 21st and I have still not received my check. Today makes 14 business days when I call the hotline they told me give it to mid next week. I'm frustrated to say the least.
What date did they receive your return?

Not sure why kinda scam they really pulling and they have absolutely no information when you call, they just extend the date. They can't provide you tracking for the check , can't tell you if your check has been shipped, no email correspondence, and no way to check the status of your return. Samsung's advanced return system. What a joke

I'm supposed to be getting a bill credit from Verizon next month, but last night I received a package to return my note 7 which I have not had in my possession for over a month, and checked my orders section on my Verizon account and have a new order pending for a return of merchandise. If Verizon screws me on this I'm going to be ticked. I will fight it.

Finally got something from Verizon after numerous calls, I paid full price for the N7. I am suprised they are refunding me for the accessories as well. It also says they are sending me another return box I already got 2 and returned the phone a few weeks ago.

Thank you

I got an email about receiving a check and the bill credit. Then I was just checking my bank account and noticed a change and it was the refund from the phone.

I called Samsung today and they told me 4 to 8 business days to get the check. It's been since Oct 31 when I they received the Note 7.

I got my check in the mail yesterday! I forgot about it, actually, so it was a nice surprise lol

ok?????

I actually got a check yesterday.

Got a check
But it was only 54 dollars. Supposed to get a 100 dollar bill credit, plus I lost my monthly payments I had paid towards the two note 7s while I had them. Definitely lost out a bit on this deal but love my V20

Anybody get one from Samsung yet?

I got a complete refund for my note 7 that I paid 2 year contract price for ($339). Still have the phone. I called twice about a box and never got one...safe to say now I have a free phone. I pray that Samsung doesn't kill switch these phones. Think I read somewhere that 12/15 was D-day for all remaining note 7s. Can anyone else confirm this?

Got mine check today from Samsung finally! $945 woohoo! Not bad for paying $600!

Pixel XL 128gb availability?

Does anyone know when they're going to be available to order again? I've been on Googles waitlist for awhile now, there's no ETA. and i sent them an email yesterday and they replied back with this..
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for getting in touch with Google.
I understand that you'd like to purchase a new Pixel phone. I know how curious you would be right now, however, as the system states, you'd have to wait till the product is delivered to you. The shipping is based on the location, area and the type of city you're in. We don't have information about the shipping of an order. It's based on the Estimated delivery date issued to you. As you've already got the information about the delivery, that is the best date we could give you at the moment.
I wish we had any additional facilities, however, as the company has its own policies, we wouldn't be able to deliver the product to you in short period of time.
I hope you understand our limitations.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email. I'm happy to help!
Thanks!
Mike A

I have a feeling I'm gonna run out of time with the note 7 and wanted to go with the xl, but i can't wait forever.
Anyone have any insight?

Check nowinstock website and run the page refresh extension with "out of stock" phrase alert.
They've had them available for ordering on and off every week. They had many last week, in stock lasted for days.

Good news, I did google chat with a product specialist and they checked the warehouse and said the Pixel XL will be back in stock at some point in time before this week ends (when it happens it will probably sell out again, so pay close attention to it)

Shouldn't i get a notification from them that they're back in Stock if I'm in the waiting list?

Hopefully that means Verizon will be getting an influx of XL's too. I'm starting to worry that I won't get my preorder before I go on vacation in December.

Gotcha. I got mine ordered. The way you posted it made me think you were copying and pasting it from somewhere

I order my pixel xl around November 5th~8th (can't remember when exactly) and google told me it would be delivered at around December 15th-19th. Today I got an email that they've already sent it and that it coming till the 22th. I signed for the accidental protection deal cuz I'm not a careful person :S I hope it pays off.

Congratulations!

tried to register on that site (nowinstock) and it told me that they don't accept emails from that provider....It's a gmail!??? oh well...so much for setting an alert. looking for a Quite Black 128gb XL... manual refreshed it is...
EDIT: Got it figured out. col site, never knew it existed...

Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long to restock these phones? Why are not cargo ships full of them unloading every day? I would guess some component is in short supply?
And an observation, why did google make a useless 32G model with no expansion slot? If they made a 64G and 128G model there would be a lot less problems. Of course most people would probably buy the 64G model and they would not get to sell the $100 upgrade.

Z2 force T-mobile on AT&T

There are some surprisingly good deals for the Moto Z2 force on Swappa, but only for the T-mobile edition. My carrier is AT&T. Will the phone work with just an AT&T SIM?

Speaking from experience only... I always buy Verizon at best buy for full price... When I sold my s8 to a co-worker his at&t sim worked 100%. Now my sim is attached to a buisnesss account so that might help in the unlocking process but I'm pretty sure all Verizon phones are sim unlocked.
I don't think others like at&t/TMobile have easy ways to unlock the sim... It's doable but prbly a hassle

It will work but be prepared for a fight to get it unlocked. Best way to think about it is to add $110 to whatever the price of the phone is. You will have to activate a T-Mobile prepaid account, add over $100, request an unlock, wait AT LEAST 4 days then pray your request is granted.
I recently went through this exact process and from the time I bought the phone to the time it was SIM Unlocked took just under two weeks. Because I purchased the phone from a third party and it didn't show up in TMobile's system it was not eligible for an unlock.
I spent literally hours on the phone with customer service from both T-Mobile and Motorola, to no avail. I tried third party unlock sites which also didn't work. Finally a member here recommended contacting T-Mobile via Twitter. This was by far the most helpful anyone had been and I was able to get the phone unlocked.
After I went through all of this trouble I still ended up selling the phone. There was nothing wrong with it, the gray just wasn't my thing and I wanted the black one. After SIM and bootloader unlocking it I was able to break even and I'm using the T-Mobile SIM in an old phone as a hotspot exclusively to game on.
Truly the best deal on a z2 force right now is to start a new line with Sprint at Best buy. I'm paying $16.34/month for 24 months with $0 down payment. That works out to $392 total. At that price this is absolutely the best phone for the money.
I've read all of the people who are unhappy with Sprint and say they have terrible reception but where I'm at (Midwest) I have had 4-5 bars of LTE all the time. That's better than Att.
What I will have to agree on is the slower network speeds. It's not a HUGE difference like some people say but it is noticable. Personally I'll gladly take a slightly slower but more reliable connection and save $40 bucks a month.

Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly what I was afraid of. I can't switch to a different network. Both my wife and daughter have grandfathered unlimited iPhone accounts with AT&T as well as a healthy corporate discount, and financially the switch to any other carrier makes no sense. My Nexus 6p died last night and I have been debating between the Pixel XL, Oneplus 5, and Z2 force.

I understand that. I've been on Att since 2007. It still feels weird seeing Sprint in the status bar and boot screen. However, buying this phone from Att is a huge rip off. They're charging OVER msrp and the bootloader is locked down.
If I were in your shoes I'd look into this: https://www.phonearena.com/news/Goo...h-Pixel-XLs-but-only-in-North-America_id98059
After dropping and cracking my old Sony Xperia I am all about that shattershield screen. The only other thing close to that with modern specs is the s8 active and that's an Att exclusive, feels cheap, looks awful and cost more than Att's z2! I hate using cases but in my line of work I need durable equipment. If I were smart I'd be using a $20 flip phone but I've been using a smartphone since windows mobile, Palm and blackberry were all still relevant (or even around)

Not sure if any of you peeps from India have prebooked the F3 - starting this thread if any of you have started to see your devices ship!

Ouch! But it's a matter of time before these offers start showing up...

on samsung shop app when i click on exchange and put my s21+ 256gb it shows deffered exchange value of 62360.
The S21+ is in pristine condition,my question is will Samsung/cashify honour this exchange value or will they throw tantrums while paying the amount later.Attaching screenshot of the same.
I went to a samsung cafe and the offered me 57,000(including 7k exchange bonus).
Anyone else has experience with samsung deffered exchange programs?

I didn't realize there are 2 options....instant and deferred! But in my experience with cashify....they always stick to their promised value as long as your assessment is true!

Samsung customer support has zero knowledge on this offer, frankly they cant even speak without shuttering, rip samsung
i think anyone who placed the order after 24th aug is eligible

Woohoo!!! My zfold3 is packaged and ready to be shipped!

Any update from offline stores for precooked deliveries. hopefully can expect to collect tomorow

My phone has shipped and should arrive in a couple days! Final leg of the wait!!

Picked up my pre-booked device last night from the Samsung store. Initially booked the black, but changed to the green colour, and it looks excellent. The phone has dual SIM slots plus esim support. Waiting for my Spigen Slim Armor Pro case, it will be delivered today. The phone is stuck on the July security update, probably will take a day or two for it to get the latest update.

Awesome!!! It's an 888 chip in there I hope (and no exynos surprises)

I agree, however they should have automatically put them in the cart with the option to remove it rather than the other way around or not showing it on checkout. But at least they're making good... this time.

Well then, I'll be looking for Google to deliver!

Glad to hear this - don't know how I forgot but I did forget to add the Pixel Buds to my order and was about to cancel and start over - but I don't want to lose my delivery date. A friend just told me that he ordered the Pixel 6 Pro and his order said it was due for delivery in DECEMBER. My order says early November....thanks to the OP for the heads up.

I am one of the people that did not add the buds.
If someone gets this so call email from Google, let us know.

Good deal. I forgot them. But the site was so messed up I doubt I could have added them. Damn phone came out of my cart like 5 times.

FYI delivery estimate shows December 2 - 7.

Not sure if I should feel bad about this but I ended up cancelling my Pix 6 Pro order from Google and got it from Best Buy via AT&T. Still, Google sent an email saying

Without a doubt I chose to pay for the fastest shipping possible just in case they noticed later Delivery Nov 8-9
