I called both the Niagara falls and the Akron stores as well as Sears outlet customer service to try and finagle shipping but no dice.
There is one at Niagara falls, Akron Ohio, Costa mesa, and oak ridge Illinois
There's no Sears Outlet in Akron. Which store were you contacting?
They aren't always at the outlets. Sometimes they are in the retail stores as well. If you click the checkbox on one of the stores and click continue it will tell you if the store is a retail or an outlet. I'm still hoping one of the retail stores in Virginia will get a few.

I tried getting the one in Akron... No go. Ordered online for in-store pickup, and when they went to fullfil the order, the item had already been sold in-store. Grr.
Really was looking forward to having a second one for the girlfriend to play with while I tinker with mine.
Last refurb is in Oak Brook, IL. I called and they said someone has called and would be there later today to buy it. They said it was first come first served. Also, they said they will not ship from one store to another. Someone in Illinois is going to be very happy later on today.
Ok, scratch that last comment. From the look of the outlet site they sold it already. Someone in Illinois is happy right now.

Just because its listed on Sears outlet doesn't mean its at an actual outlet store.

I bought mine at Staples due to better return policy - taking it by tomorrow for the price guarantee since Sears just dropped the price to $379 again.
Where is it Advertised?
I have a day or two left on my 14 day Staples return... I was hoping to score a returned unit but nothing at my local Sears but I would at least like to get the price match. Where is it being advertised for $379? Paper or online?

Yeah I was trying to figure out what I need to take them in order to get the price match as well. They have no ad, and I know that stores won't price match web pricing...
Please let us know if you were successful and what you gave them to get the price match.
You can pull it up on Sears.com and choose "pick up at store" to find a local Sears with it in stock at that price...hopefully your local staples will understand that as in-store advertised price.
My local staples did the price match. I brought in a sears.com printout showing it was in stock at a local Sears for $379.

Awesome! I may have to do this tonight, but I don't want to go out into this snow. Yuck.
I got my g tablet at my local Sears and they had alot in stock. I
also picked up a 4GB micro SD card too. So far my typing is getting
better and I have learned alot in the last few days too.
The g tablet a very good tablet, I figure its only going to get better
in time.
The Staples paper has the tablet on the front page. The sears has it on pg. 33. Just thought I would let everyone know. Sears is still $379.99 Staples is $399.99.
I guess all the returns are not a concern as of yet to they are still advertising them.
I have attached pics of the ads. The Staples one is the most amusing from seeing all the responses on the forums.
I was at my local Staples yesterday for other reasons, and asked them on the status of the tablet (ie. did they have any clearance items, yet?). They actually told me Flash is working as of last week, and are advertising it as such.
I told them that they might want to called customer service because Flash isn't available (officially), yet. Also interesting that their AD shows this, as well. Do they know something that we don't?

When I went to office depot, they said I must be thinking of best buy or staples. Silly office depot. Nice work on the pricematch.
Nice, bought mine at Staples on Nov 21st and was able to price adjust to Sears' $379 yesterday.

Staples 10% coupon

I can't open the coupon.
The PDF is corrupted...
here is the coupon they were referring to
http://s.fatwallet.com/static/attachments/45438_december2010custapp.pdf
They let you use this coupon? I tried to use the 10% off coupon (with the same terms) on 11/27 and the POS system blocked it. I argued that this wasn't a laptop or a desktop, but they couldn't (or perhaps wouldn't) override it.
That's the coupon . I asked the store manager and he used it because it mentions nothing about tablets, does state no desktops or laptops.
It doesn't have a bar code just instructions for the cashier to key in 10% discount.
Any chance of price matching to Sears and then adding a coupon?
This Friday and Saturday!
hell yes lol, was picking mine up in the morn
Where exactly on this ad are you seeing that Sears is selling it for this price this Friday and Saturday? I just bought mine this past weekend so I'm still in my 30 day window where I can go in and demand $30 back since I bought it for $379.99.
yea looked up sears ad not seeing it
See that price is more reasonable. They should just keep it at that price.

Their price protection is for 14days. I just got off chat with a sears rep and they say go into store and you will be taken care of.
I even told them I could return it and buy it at staples with the sears price.
I think we should be taken care of, I will be going down Fri or Sat with receipt in hand!

No G Tablet in my Sears ad
Got my paper here in N California this morning with the Sears ad for Friday and Saturday and there is no G tablet on sale in it.
Bummer
pissed me off lol
I have until Saturday for my 14 day price match window at Staples. I already price matched it to $380.... $350 would be even better!
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
If it goes down to $350 I'm not only getting my price match but I'll buy another.
I searched everywhere on the Sears site and didn't find it for $350. I actually saw one for $399, and then it was listed again with a different picture and description for $379.
Weird...
Maybe it's all a cruel joke...
My Sears ad for Friday and Saturday only shows an Asus netbook. No gtab
please remove this thread lol
Got into a fight at a sears tonight with manager because they didn't have my refurb when i got confirmation. ended up getting a brand new one price matched to the "refurb" price. It rang as 349.99 original price on the receipt if that helps anyone. This was in PA.
crap... my 14d w/Staples were up Monday!
I knew that I should've returned it and bought one at Sears!
Okay, I'm really confused. Where did this ad come from?
My Fri/Sat ad for Cincinnati doesn't even show a GTab in it, and the weekly ad that ends tomorrow says its $379.99 still, and then, the website says $399.99. When I got my price match at staples for $379.99 on Monday, the website showed that price. Now it doesn't.
Is Sears as confused as we are?

Just call and ask them. Price they would charge will show up when they enter the sku. Sears is pretty good with coordinating prices with their adds.

Site looks pretty screwed up ATM. It shows $379.99 but when you click on it for the specific page it then shows $399.99 ...
Yeah, I did a price match to $379.99 on Monday as well instead of returning it.
[EDIT]
Looked in the online weekly ad and didn't see it there either, but there was a BT Garmin GPS which is kind of tempting, but I want something smaller w/o display...

Staples has an extended return policy through the holidays, and it includes electronics. You have 30 days minimum.

I bought before 11/26 though... the Monday before, i.e. 11/22 ... my price guarantee was marked as an "exchange" though (new receipt)... hmmm....
Are there any sales now or in the near future for the G Tablet? I know last weekend Sears had it for $379 I believe, anything like that happening again before Christmas that anyone knows about? I saw a thread for the $50 credit towards a website, but I don't think that'll work for me.

I've also been looking for one, but I don't believe there are any sales right now.
The best deal is to get one reconditioned from Sears Outlet....if you can. $279 usually. The stock is always 0 or really low (like 1 or 2 nationwide) and come 8pm at night they are usually all gone. Only available for store pickup too, so you need to be near the store to get one. This is what I;m hoping for right now.
Like gogorman said sears outlet is the best way to go. I just picked mine up today. I drove 1h 30min to pick it up. It was worth the drive. I got mine for $250. There is one scratch on the back and lot of finger print on the screen but for $250 it cant be beat and gas only costed me $20.
If you have a Discover card, you can get 10% cash back if you click on the Sears link at shopdiscover.com. To avoid shipping charges, remember to select store pickup.
Fyi. I was told by acouple of Sears cs, you can buy one from outlet and have them ship it to you.
Just checked Office Depot and it's priced at $369. They're available in-store here.
I can't find it on the outlet website ;\. I live in NYC
I haven't found any "great" sales. Sears weekly ad today is $399.xx with a free case.

Hmm...I tried another item and they only have the option to pick up from store.
Will they ship to a different store? I have been religiously checking the site but have not found any units within a 2 hour drive for me. Also, will a regular sears have returns if I just show up or call? Has anyone been that lucky? How much are the returned/ open box units at a regular sears? Thanks.

Regular Sears stores that get returns are what shows up on the outlet website, there isn't a special set of stores that are considered 'outlets'. The outlets are just regular stores that happen to have returned items.
There are actual sears outlet stores in addition to the regular store. Im located in southern california and they have a physical outlet store 10 minutes from me but they never have the gtablet in stock. There are about 2 other regular sears stores in the area too. That would be awesome if they were all the same.

I purchased online from the Sears Outlet web site and called the store directly, asked for package pickup, and requested shipping. They shipped from Texas to Ann Arbor, Mi 3 day service for $11.
The only problem was the shipping had to be paid with a Sears charge card. I did not have one, had to borrow a friends.
Wow. That is awesome. Did you actually buy it online and then call the store? Why did they need a sears card for the shipping? Even with the shipping that is still a pretty sweet deal.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I managed to find a great dept manager that shipped to me for free! I recommend you go through with the order then call the store once you get your pickup confirmation. The first store I tried told me they couldn't do it, out of laziness I guess.
That's pretty sweet. What did you do when the first place wouldn't ship? Was it a hassel to get your money back?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
With the first store I called them up before I placed the order. So when they told me they wouldn't ship, I tried to just order and schedule a UPS pick up, but in the meantime someone else must have ordered it. Lucky for me though as I found the second store!
It's definitely a challenge and takes patience, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I think this is a good device for $280, but $399 is too much.
I absolutely agree. Thank you for the advice. I'll have to give it a shot. I am hoping that viewsonic will start selling all the units that were returned to them too. That would be awesome.

The NJ one is gone, only NY and NC left, and I can get the NC one to take my order, and the NY store wont answer the phone.
I have $200 in gift cards I want to use, but cant use Gift cards on sears outlet :\
I have tried to buy one in the sears at oak terrance IL and had them shipped it to me. It was a painful process and i had spent at least 3 hours to call 3-4 numbers. No one really knew the process. Anyways, it was not much cheaper for me since 279 +taxes + shipping =325. I purchased mine for 349 with no tax for a new one locally. It was a very painful and you will need luck and a lot of patience. Good luck.

No tax, new, locally? That sounds kinda shady. I do know there are some internet retailers that sell them around that price shipped.
