GTab $339 shipped!!!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to member 'goodintentions':
"The 10 bucks thing is still on. You need to go to their website and then a popup asks you for your email. Give it to them, confirm it, and they will send you a $10 discount."
so, $339 and holding!
I have scored what may be the best "new condition" GTab price yet!
So, you can get a $10 credit just for liking Tigerdirect.com's facebook page
(you will need to have a facebook account... but who doesn't at this point)
I clicked the "like" button, entered my email address, and shortly thereafter
received my $10 credit via email...
I initially searched their site for a $10 gadget that I could score for free...
but found nothing I really liked...
Then I figured I better check to see if they carry GTab's and for how much...
They have it listed for the typical $369...
so with my $10 credit I was looking at $359 with free shipping
which was not a bad start... but then I noticed on sales page for the GTab:
(apparently I am too new to post links here...
so just search "viewsonic g tab" at tigerdirect.com)
there is a $20 extra savings coupon code listed right there "HSN23053"
Naturally I assumed they could not be combined...
but it turns out that they can be combined...
now my total was $339... with free shipipng, and since I live in CA
NO TAX too!
How could I not click the "order" button
So there you have it... anyone holding out for a price drop should stop holding out and take advantage of this deal before that $20 coupon code disappears!
I even took a screenshot for the non-believers.

Where's the facebook link? I'm not able to track it down.
Thanks...

I cannot post links yet... just google "like tigerdirect.com"
or search for tigerdirect.com on Facebook
Hope that helps

Is there a time limit? I'm busy now.

How???????

Looks like this FB thing is expired, but another way to do it for about the same price (even a little cheaper) is to got to ebates.com and get 3% by going to tigerdirect from there. I use them all the time and have gotten several payments back using their site. A G-tablet for less than $339 is a steal!

The 10 bucks thing is still on. You need to go to their website and then a popup asks you for your email. Give it to them, confirm it, and they will send you a $10 discount.

so you're telling me I have to update my update...

they had some cpn codes on slickdeals where if u ordered something and applied the code, it gave u a free dvd player(actually the cpn code i might have found on retailmenot.com). well i walked into the store and asked if they can build my order there, and they said yes, but the dvd player code did not work in store. we went online and it worked there, so they looked to see if they could give me the model dvd player, but had none in stock.
so i asked him to credit me the difference of the value of the dvd player, which he did and i picked up the case as well.
you guys gotta learn how to play the system better
*edit* actually playing with the cpn code now, it only gives 30 off instead of the 50 i got. i guess its somewhat of a dead deal compared to the op's post)

$275 from Craig's List!
I picked up a gTablet from Craig's List for $275 a couple of days ago. Granted, it's used, but it looks brand-new. *And* it comes with a carbon fiber skin, an extra AC adapter (so two of them), and the Malata dock. Sweet!

If i had a choice between a gtablet, xoom or notion ink adam.. would the gtab be the better bang for the buck?

[POLL] Asus Transformer US Success Poll (Shipping Confirmed)

ONLY VOTE ON A RETAILER IF YOU ALREADY GOT IT, OR HAVE A TRACKING NUMBER
I wanted to create a poll to get an idea of what retailers are getting the most stock. This will also give us an idea of how many xda member have actually had success. If you ordered multiple from one store, just vote on the one, and post how many you got here. I will try to update this post summarizing all of the extras.

Not voting yet, as I don't know whether I can revise my answer, and Amazon is supposedly *about* to ship now too, but I have an origin scanned NewEgg order, I have a Tiger Direct order supposedly awaiting pickup, and I have an Amazon order "shipping soon" but with no ETA. Once Amazon ships, I'll vote in the poll to add all three.

OK, Amazon has shipped out, so that's now tracking numbers received from all three companies. Amazon and NewEgg had origin scans immediately, Tiger Direct still hasn't done despite getting the tracking number first.
NewEgg was by FAR the fastest to ship, and Amazon took the longest by a good half day.
Of the three, the only good experience was NewEgg. Amazon and Tiger Direct were both absolutely terrible, required multiple chase-ups to get anything done, flat-out lied to me at some points, and likely still wouldn't have shipped if I'd not done anything to get them moving.
Although they haven't admitted as much or given me *any* real information, Amazon's issues seem largely to relate to my decision to use One Click purchase, which I'll never be using again. (Doing so appears to delay initial processing of your order by 30 minutes from the time the last One Click item was added to your account, even if it is a completely separate order with separate shipping and invoice from the other items you've purchased.
Tiger Direct's issues seem to relate to basic competence, and I have no intention of ever buying a product from them again.
The only company not to ship anything to me at all was B&H, but in fairness, they were the second-last order placed (the last one placed on launch day), and I cancelled the order with them immediately that I received my first tracking number from a competitor.

No, he was just trying to get one. Every time he ordered one, they would be out of stock and not ship, so he would try the again. I did the same, but was able to cancel the unsuccessful ones before they shipped. If you followed the us availability thread you would know he just plans to sell the extras at cost to other members.
Edit : someone claims to have bought one from office depot. Hmm, I haven't seen anything about them ever having it.

Yeah, I understand. Asus made a mistake with limiting their stock. C'mon Asus! I have called all of the local stores, and checked online numerous times for a darn transformer. This is getting ridiculous...seriously. I will post some info immediately if I happen to score. Two weeks, and these will be overstocked though. I have no patience either.

Yep, timtlm's spot-on. I ordered from Amazon shortly after they went on sale, but could see they'd screwed my order up, as they never tried to charge my card or ship, and at 5AM on my supposed delivery day, they suddenly backordered me. So, I ordered from Tiger Direct when they briefly came in stock, they again accepted my order, this time my card was authorized too, and my order went to the warehouse for six hours. Then they too backordered me. In the meantime, I'd also gotten into the queue at B&H, who I knew were backordered, just in case they got stock. I knew I'd be very near the start of their queue, because I prepared very carefully to order when they opened for business.
Turns out all three of the above shipped out orders to customers behind me in the queue, and skipped me.
So I placed a fourth and final order late on Thursday, when NewEgg briefly came in stock, having seen my other orders being ignored despite calls and emails to try and fix the situation.
NewEgg shipped the following afternoon, but in the meantime I'd apparently put the fear of god into a manager at Tiger when I'd called them the previous day, and my order was the very next one they shipped. And finally, Amazon claimed to have identified a problem in my account after two hours of web chat and 3 or 4 detailed emails from me. So they started shipping too, but with no ETA.
Tiger I couldn't stop from delivering at that point, but UPS hadn't scanned my shipping tag, so I also couldn't trust them not to screw up again and print a tag then leave it sitting. (I have only a week to receive the tab before a lengthy overseas trip.) Amazon had no ETA, so I likewise had no idea if I'd sit in "Shipping Soon" for days. I cancelled B&H at this point, but I didn't dare stop NewEgg.
Turned out NewEgg shipped before Tiger scanned or Amazon gave me an ETA. Then in the next few hours, I suddenly had scanned tracking numbers for all three.
And I'm planning to sell the extra two at my exact cost, once they arrive. (Well, unless my wife decides she wants to keep one too.) I've been through hell with this launch, and I want to do the right thing by other people who are having similar issues. So I don't intend to make a single cent on the sale (but equally, not to lose any money.)
Thanks to Tim for stepping in to defend my rep, and no offense taken from anybody else. I'm thick skinned and know you were likely joking about. I just figured you might be interested to hear the whole story. (And honestly, it's therapeutic typing it.)

Another bump to collect more responses.

I ordered at about 12:05 am on release day from Amazon. sat there and refreshed the search page for at least 20 min before submitting the order.
I did see green "in stock" designation on the product page and quickly ordered the 16 gb and the dock. By the time I finished ordering all stock was gone.
there was no estimated arrival or ship date on the order status page, i just assumed i missed the initial run and would have to wait for another re-up.
forgot to check my email for a day and half, come back to my house on Saturday afternoon (ordered 4/26, shipped overnight on 4/29), only to find a carrier called "OnTrac" leaving the front of my house.
I didnt give it a second thought, I just figured they were delivering next door or my housemate got something.
good thing someone was home! I walk in and find a modest size box, look at the label, to me from Amazon. Nice.
also, i don't think the limited stock available is a function of Asus doing it on purpose or super, abnormally high demand. I do believe the reports that they had trouble sourcing different components in order to met their initial plan. there is no business case for creating false shortages to increase demand in the tech world, it's first come first serve for profits, IMHO of course.

Ordered and got a shipping number in 3 hours. It should be here by Thursday.

Scam site. easyelectronicstore

Update. Site is a scam and asks for wire transfer.
Just ordered the tf700 from there for my daughter. Price is insane low for the 64gb, just not sure how trust worthy they are.
Used my wifes cc and there worry part is this.... it did not ask for phone number. All the other info was regular info, address, email and bla bla bla
Not 5 minutes later she gets pop up on her phone for a chat invite from easy electronic store. i saw it on the screen as she read it and said WTF, not seconds later she lost the pop up. I dont know what it was or where it came from. I cant find anything on her phone to see where it came from
I guess well see if the tf700 comes. If it does ill be ordering another for my other daughter so im crossing my fingers

I was looking at the site easyelectronicstore.com
I dunno there my friend...if it were me I'd cancel that credit card charge immediately.

Yeah I only just realised that my bad - i just joined this xda thing and noticed you've been a member since 2009 - mistook it for you purchasing and posting this in 2009.
Thanks though that will be pretty helpful.

Considering that the two color options are "black" and "white" (two non existant colors on the tf700), I'd say it's probably not real..

Yeah I know what you're saying I've been trying to look for the same thing, they're apparently selling iPhone 5's for £300 - BARGAIN OF THE YEAR! If it's legit that is... Cheers mate hopefully this'll help!! Good luck!!! I look forward to the *hopefully* all clear (Y)
EDIT: Should point out - a good observation on the Black/White colour availability on ALL products across the website but I done some searching they've been up as a website for about 28 days - no reviews - so looks like we're the guinea pigs of this site so we'll find out soon enough.. I checked it through this: scamadviser.com/ - go to 'check webiste' and type in www[dot]easyelectronicstore[dot]com
SECOND EDIT: I know I keep editing but I'm realising more bits and pieces that may help put two and two together. From a programmers point of view; adapting on the above colour availability 'black and white' across the site.. the actual 'Availability' read's 'In stock' as a drop down box. This should not be the case as the customer cannot choose whether something is in stock or not but we should only be able to view this information. So either poorly designed web pages or scam. - I've been talking to a 'representative' and they're saying all the right things but I guess overall we'll just have to wait and see..

BTW, i found this thru the google shopper app on my phone. Otherwise i can not find any other info on this retailer

The site says locations in Virginia and the UK...
Still say it looks shady...

I just looked the site up a few minutes ago & I was concerned about the contact number, it's a cell/mobile phone number not a direct land-line,which would raise my suspicions, I sincerely do hope ALL goes well & your product reaches you though I am concerned....
P.s.why don't you give them a call on the phone number the site gives you?(I didn't include it in my post incase I done something wrong)

Do not order from this website
Easyelectronicstore.com is REMARKABLY a lot like superstoregadgets.com both websites have both US and UK addresses (although superstoregadgets.com didn't have a US address a month ago) I was really excited about the price at first too since it was so cheap but when I went through their checkout process just to see how much they would charge for shipping I received an email saying this:
"We thank you for your order# (New ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 64GB 10.1" Android Tablet), and we want to inform you that your order has been received and confirmed, packed and will soon be ready for shipment, but we are unable to process your credit card because of the issues we are presently facing with our credit card processor, due to large volume of order we are receiving at this promo period, and no COD anymore, to complete this order, we need to receive your payment before we can ship out your order, all payments are to be made via Online Money Transfer (Western Union or Money Gram)."
Funny thing was...I never even entered any payment information yet. So I did some searching and the UK address for superstoregadgets had been used by several other online stores in the past and people had ordered stuff from them and never received their products.
Easyelectronicstore.com doesn't even have any certifications. Just a picture of a "safe and secure" badge on the page that doesn't even link to any agency that would support any confirmation that the site is legit. Just like with superstoregadgets.com when you search for the address on google you get no other indication that the website has an online presence or notoriety.
I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT EASYELECTRONICSTORE.COM IS A SCAM. IF YOU HAVE ORDERED FROM THEM I WOULD SUGGEST IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND I WOULD SUGGEST INVESTIGATING INTO POSSIBLY PUTTING A FRAUD ALERT ON THAT CARD.
It's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah I think it is a scam. Luckily used cc instead of debit so I should be good to go. Gonna wait till tuesday and if I dont have anything from them im gonna try and call and then ill call my cc co.
My wife got the chat invite again today when she was out and it disapeared before she could get a screen shot for me.

Yup just got the email asking for wire transfer. She is calling then cc co in a bit

Reseller ratings, unfortunately, is not a good sample to seek accurate reviews from. 9 times out of 10 customers only use this site to leave negative comments. While only 2% of all orders actually leave reviews to begin with.
Reviews found here are more accurate: http://nel.ec/NEGoogleReviews
These reviews are taken directly from the customer, by Google Checkout, in their follow up email that is sent to all shipped orders. This will give you a better sample, and size for your request.

Ordered 2 HTC Butterfly and they were cancelled without explanation
Last week I bought 2 HTC Butterfly, from Negri Electronics. At first, the site wouldn´t let me buy 2, so I bought just one for $ 779.50.
I came back the nex day for the other one that I needed, and saw that the price had gone up to $ 818. I really needed these phones so I bought it anyways. A few days later, I get a refund notice from the 2 sites I used to pay for my purchase, Paypal and Amazon, and no email, no explanation whatsoever from Negri. There is something very fishy about this company, I´¨ve been researching online and found several complaints about them.
The phones I purchased and were cancelled without any reason are listed as IN STOCK on their web site, if I were you I would stay away from these people, just my 2 cents.

Very sorry to hear about your issue. Did you ask anyone at NegriCare about these issues before posting on this board? Often times asking a customer care representative you are able to get an answer so your post on this board is complete. Instead it just leaves others in the dark thinking that we did something deceitful.
If you have an order number, you can contact [email protected] and you can check on the status. Here are some possibly reasons it was canceled.
1. You paid with Google or Amazon and the order was considered "fraud" and it was canceled. At this point no email is sent from our behalf.
2. You paid with PayPal for a color BLACK Butterfly, which is not released. At this point the order would be canceled after 30 days automatically. We do not have the option to extend that.
3. The order was canceled because you sent an email to request just this. In this case your order would have been canceled and no email would be sent.
These are all possibly scenarios. There isn't anything "fishy" about canceled orders. In fact, it happens alot. The screening process is quite involved and out of our control. Often times the customer would be furious with us when we didn't do anything. This is why it's best to contact the company prior to venting on message boards as it might not have been under our control.
Please contact us at your earliest convenience. It's never nice to be called "fishy" and we would like to make sure that you don't have that opinion of us any longer.

You will always find complaints if you look hard enough. We just hope that you are able to see past the petty issues that a few customers had and focus on the great experiences others have had - and posted about.
Here are a few 3rd party sites that collect reviews of Negri Electronics
http://nel.ec/Y8f2mS
http://nel.ec/ZH6Pqf
http://nel.ec/R7riBe
Please keep in mind that it's very difficult to get a customer to leave a good review even if they have had a great experience. Often times the only time a review is left is when it's negative. Of over 56,000 successful orders, only the above have left reviews. Of that population, look at how many are positive.

After the return, multiple emails, delays, unreasonable and unfair offers, they have finally suggested a partial refund which I agreed to just to be ignored once again. Today, 7 months since return, our dispute is still not settled. I wouldn't call that trustworthy.

Something has happened to them. Their "contact' page is missing. and my replies to my existing email chain are unanswered for 3 weeks.

I got Amazon to remove the Special Offers for free

Hey all,
I wanted to share this. I bought a HD 8 2017 for prime day. I had ordered the one with the Special offers and before it arrived I had a change of mind and figured I'd pay the extra $15 for the non-Special offers version. Before I started the return process I chatted in with Amazon and told them that I ordered the Special Offers one by mistake and asked if my only option to get one without the offers was to return the one with the offers and then rebuy the one without. He told me that I wouldn't have to return it and asked me to hold on. A few minutes later he came back and said that they normally would charge $20 to remove the Special Offers (not really sure why they charge $5 more than if you bought it without the SO) but he removed the special offers as a courtesy. So YMMV but if you chat in, and ask nicely, they may disable them for free like they did for me. I have read somewhere else of someone doing this which is why I gave it a shot before I did the return. Glad I did as it saved me an extra $15 on top of the $30 off for Prime Day

Yeah I did the same yesterday via the webchat. Basically just said I'm a loyal customer how about a gesture of goodwill. 2-3mins later they confirmed they would remove for free. Saved myself £10 so definitely worth a try.

Just did this this morning. Asked to have them removed and they just did it no questions.

Nice, Glad it worked for you guys

Worked for me too! I didn't even ask for it for free; I just asked how do you remove the ads?

I used the webchat as well. All done in about 10 minutes. Rep asked for device name and/or serial number.

I just had them remove the ads for me too. Thanks for the heads up.

I bought one on prime day too with the stupid special offers. I called them to unsubscribe and they did it for me for free. I was thinking I would install a custom rom anyway.

They were going to charge me £10 so I asked outright if they could do it for free as a courtesy. Manager said yes. Sorted

Worked for me today too (UK Fire bought on Prime Day) but I still can't get my head around the screensaver.
Tablet wakes up by itself from standby and does a slideshow of photos?

Also worked for me using online chat - asked due to loyalty and volume of purchases, was granted within 5 minutes. Very happy to have found this thread. Thanks OP!!!

I was told that it would be done for free in a chat but got a email a few hours later that my credit card was charged. When I chatted with them again, I was told that they charge you automatically when you ask for it for free. They did reverse the charge when I asked them to.

Same with me. They accidently sent me a defect Fire HD 8, so when we asked for a replacement, we got our SO disabled too.

I did online chat and had asked if it was possible to remove the ads since I hadn't noticed I bought the wrong one. The Tech guy removed them at no cost to me. And I got the notification on the tablet verifying ads were removed. Super Simple!

Thanks for the awesome recommendation, graffixnyc! About a 5-10m chat later and it's offers-free.
Amazon Rep: Could you please explain me the reason to remove offers from your tablet?
Me: I receive daily emails from Amazon that are more pertinent to my buying habits. Thus far none of the offers on the tablet have been products I'm interested in buying.
Amazon Rep: I am really sorry for the inconvenience, Please allow me a minute.

I have disabled Special Offers on your Fire tablet. You will not be charged any additional fees for this.
In order to complete the process of unsubscribing your device from Special Offers, please turn wireless ON on your device. The next time your device connects to a wireless network, it will complete the process of unsubscribing.
I've waived off the charges of $15.00 for you.

Is this normal when the 'special offers' are removed as described in this thread? Are you not able to just set a wallpaper?

I was able to set wallpaper okay.
I think my issue was due to greenify actually. Once I uninstalled that my tablet stopped waking up by itself.

i bought a 3 pack and got the offers removed for free on two of them.

I've had my offers removed for free as well. Thanks for your reccommendation!

I just chatted here in Italy and the operator was scandalized as I ask him to make love with me! "nonono, here we don't give away the offer remove for customer like you that make 61 order in 60 days!"Next time they will take a week for a 24hours prime delivery I will ask again as refund.Consider that they ask you €15 that is almost $18 and that-compared to 7' one, the 8 one is not even SO economic.
Anyhow, I'll prefer a slim rom that will resolve everything and that's free.

just did this myself.. thanks for the tip ?
