Who has the best return policy?
I thought I read somewhere where someone bought a TF700 and had 30 days to return it.
I am curious so that I have plenty of time to try this out and if I don't like it, I can return it.
With Amazon, not only you can return it in 30 days, they will send you the replacement before you have to send the original out. It's so convenient.
Best Buy's return policy is 30 days, dont throw out the box and dont take off the sticker near the dock connector with the serial number on it.

Cool, I did not know that about Amazon. I thought they were 15 days.

Forgot to ask...
Can you return it outright without getting a replacement?

Sure, just ask for refund when you fill the online return form.
If you're a silver member at Best Buy, you get 60 day returns or exchanges.
Another vote for best buy since they are swapping my six month old prime for a TF700 at no cost to me.

Didn't apply. It was swapped as a manufacturer's defect. They refunded my ADH(can't be done if it is covered under that) and I rebought it on the infinity.

Ok, just to be clear you just didn't walk in and demand to buy a new product and they refunded you a 6 month old product. I have no idea on how people do these things? Here in NJ you can't do ANYTHING like that. Every store has such strict rules about returns it is amazing. Most stores have policies if you OPEN up the product you can't return it. Only exchange it. I'm so surprised to read things like this. I even have had issues at Walmart one time trying to return something. For some reason the employees that work at these places act like it is their money.

They refunded it to a gift card. This is Best Buy company policy. They service every item they sell. If they don't carry that product they replace it. The exchange is the remedy for them not servicing the product.

Actually, best buy will take it back at any time that it's still under the manufacturers warranty. I just returned my Prime that I bought in december and got a store credit.

The key to that is as long as it is defective and not a serviceable SKU. Which the Prime is not serviceable, as in they can't send it off for repair.

seriously......the guys at best buy told me i had to break my prime to use the 100 dollar warranty i paid on it....then ask for a credit instead of a new prime and then i ordered the infinity.....
but an associate literally told me to break my prime, say it was an accident and use the warranty i paid on it....WTH

Sad to say he was incorrect, it should have been covered under manufacturer's warranty. They should have prorated returned the ADH and let you rebuy it.

To add to my thread....Can anyone comment on Amazon's return policy?
I can either order from Amazon today for my TF700, or I can wait till this weekend and order through Best Buy online and skip sales tax because MO is doing a sales tax holiday weekend.
I am just curious as how easy Amazon's return policy is incase I get a defective unit.

Wow you got lucky. I dropped my galaxy tab 10.1 the other day. The screen cracked so bad it was starting to come off the sides, and the tablet wouldn't even turn on. I brought it back to best buy to get a credit since they don't sell that anymore. Best buy told me I had to send it in to get it fixed, and I won't get it back for 2-4 weeks. When I bought the warranty, however, they told me if the screen cracked I could come in and get an instant replacement since it's not worth fixing a tablet if the screen is cracked. I am now without a tablet for a month, and I had my hopes up to get the infinity. Never again am I buying a warranty from best buy.
So, I'm fully aware of the inflated cost and won't oblige, but if I found one on a site that was very close in price, what are the drawbacks? Is there a difference with warranty since it wasn't purchased on my account?
No.

Technically, the warranty is not by Google - it is by LG. Google will handle returns/replacements within the first 15 days.
According to LG, the warranty is for 12 months for the original purchaser.

Can I invoke it using the original receipt?
I think the warranty is tied to the original email address
Team Nexus 5 sucks

Sorry - can't say because I haven't tried it. I suspect it will be ok if you have original receipt since all LG would really care about is the purchase date to figure out whether it is still under warranty or not, but I don't know if they will check purchaser name as well. You could check with Google/LG to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they will give you the legal answer
Just out of curiosity, why are you buying from ebay instead of the play store? Is it significantly cheaper there? I just glanced thru' some of the postings there and they all seem to be selling over $400 (buy it now)

The price in the Play Store is almost 450, with taxes and shipping, and there are options for less than that.
Moreover, I am having trouble ordering from the Play Store as I am not a resident of the USA, and only sending it to a person there. I know that the ebay order will get there, unlike the Play Store order which is still pending and can be dropped at any moment.
Hi guys! I did not know where to ask this question, so I turned on here may be some of you have an experience. I am planning to buy a Nexus 5 to replace my Nexus 4. Tis should be a pretty cheap phone now since 2 years has passed from its release. I live in Canada and I was planning to buy one from ebay. They ship from Hong Kong and looks like it is new. For example this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LG-Google-Ne...319349?hash=item3396062d75:g:kB0AAOSw3ydVyHn4
Now my question is am I going to be charged with extra fees (like duty and taxes)? Anybody has any experience buying new phones from ebay shipped from china?
P.S. I am open to any suggestion for a new phone!
P.S.2. Sorry if the question is not really related to the forum, I just did not have anywhere else to ask it.
that ebay posting is over priced. you can get a 32 gb for cheaper than that now. my advice is keep looking on ebay, slickdeals, adnroid central, swappa for a good deal.
and you'll find one in no time.
Thanks drago10029! I will. Still do you know if I am going to be charged if I buy a new item from ebay (or any other site)?

It depends on shipper's declared value as to whether you are charged duties and taxes.
No mention of warranty on the listing.
Thanks. I contacted the seller. They said they offer 3 months exchange warranty and 1 year of repair.

I just bought a red 32gb from expansys. Will be delivered tomorrow. I'll post back about if it's in a factory box or anything else. I hope they're not trying to pass off refurbs as new.
I hope so. With the Canadian currency though, I think it is expensive for me. And i am not sure if they ship to canada. And if they do they would probably charge for taxes and other fees too!

I'm on Verizon and I'm REALLY looking to upgrade to ONE PLUS 7 PRO but I feel that ordering the phone from OP directly might lead to better overall support after the sell.
So what's the history of one plus supporting a device under warranty even if I purchase it from TMO and using on Verizon.
All input welcome since I've ALWAYS wanted a OP device yet been afraid of support after the sell.
Also I'm mostly interested in not having to deal with TMO unlocking issue along with the fact that phones directly from OP come with probably the best screen protection option at the moment
