Moto Hint at Best Buy? - X 2014 Accessories

Hello all-
I had read in either this forum or another (can't recall), that someone had walked into Best Buy and bought an in-stock Moto Hint. Bestbuy.com is not showing the device at all. A call to my local store revealed that there's nothing in their store at the least.
Does anyone know or did anyone hear of these in-stock at BBY?
Oddly enough, I pre-ordered mine (brown leather) about 45 minutes after the pre-order opened on 9/16. Was given a ship date of 10/15. Checked back the next day to find that brown leather was the only color in stock, estimated shipping 10/3. How very Motorola of them...

I DID buy one at Best Buy on Wednesday. Only color in stock is the dark fabric

I can confirm as well. Every best buy in my area has them in stock. Got mine yesterday.

I had mine since last week. Have seen them in 2 BB stores in VA.

[INFO] Preordered at Expansys

Hi guys
I have placed a preorder at expansys. Based on your experiences buying from them, how is their service?
They say that they will not charge my credit card or ship the product when they have stock before they confirm with me. I hope they stick to this as if stock is very late to arrive then i might want to cancel the order
I bought my S730 from them when it released. Overall it was a good experience. I did not get charged until the phone was ready to ship and then it arrived quickly.
My only frustration was the lack of detailed information about when stock would arrive etc. I know they do not know too much from their distributors but still, any news would have been better than no news.
That might have changed as that was the last phone I bought from them. I missed the first wave of shipments and got on the wait list for round two which is when mine came through.
I pre-ordered my Diamond 2 fromm them when it came out and as "10332007" said above, they didn't have information about stocks. At the time I had paid by wire transfer, and when the stock status became "Available" I still didn't get any shipped notification until the phone would go "Out of stock" again and when I called they said they had a lot orders and that they were serving the earlier orders first, this was repeated 3 times then I called them and cancelled my order. They then transferred back my payment with no problem what so ever.
On another note, a freind of mine ordered his Desire HD a few months ago, and they shipped it fast. Though it was already available & not on pre-order.
thanks but..
Thanks guys for the feedback
but since the price was not yet available on their website when i pre-ordered, will they inform me of the final price when they get stock before they charge my card and ship
I might not like their price when they advertise it and might chose to go with another seller

parts4repair.com - top or flop?

Hey all there,
do you have any experiece with this spare part distributor?
I need a spare part for my HTC Sensation but I'm not sure if this shop ist worth my money.
So what do you think?
I recently bought some small tools ans sticker and course I will share my experience here.
*bump*
Yesterday I asked for a invoice copy for ustoms duty purpose.
Today I got it. So customer service seems to be ok.
I was looking at these guys for a replacement speaker on my evolution 3d .
I was wondering if there has been an update on your order?
I can report, that my package arrived well covered and with the ordered pieces.
The stickers are ok, well what shouldt they do wrong?
The tools look cheap, I think.
So I'm still not sure to order there. And 40€ is a lot of money for me, because I'm still on-the-job training. If loosing the money wouldn't hurt so much, I wouldt definitely give them a try.
I'll give an update when I've made a decision.
As far as I know, they're the most reputable...the guys off Ebay for example will give you rear housing but part wasn't cut to exact dimensions...or missing something very minor but meaning whole part cannot be used...

I decided not to order there.
I ordered on a trader from Great Britain for a much cheaper price. Hope the LCD is no fake.
Update:
It looks not like a fake, but i haven't had time to reassable my phone yet.
I've bought a number of spare parts for my i9100 and N7100 there, and all I can say about them is praise.
The delivery time seems a bit on the long side (took about 10 days for delivery to France each time), but customer service is excellent and the prices are the lowest I been able to find anywhere on the market...
As far as I'm concerned it's a go, you can order from them anytime, even blindfolded...

Granted, the 3$ toolkit for Samsung devices I bought there looks equally cheap. But it still accomplishes the job more than is needed.
Also, keep in mind that such toolkits are most often made by device manufacturers themselves, parts4repair.com has nothing to do with this whatsoever (save that they're reselling them for a -small- profit, obviously ).

Any examples for other better places?
Just ordered a camera for my i9100 from them and it came with a big scratch that appears big and pink on all my photo's .
Bought a HTC Sensation volume buttons flex cable and a set of screws and came as expected. The volume buttons had an issue and I asked them for a replacement via email, which they answered and sent a new one for free. Happy with them.
Got scammed
Ordered a housing assembly for htc desire hd and three batteries. The cover assembly had two parts which were used and had worn out contact surfaces. The batteries run out of life really fast (as fast a 2 year old battery and some even faster), they have been marked as e.g. "LQ" and using a battery tester app they give results varying between 800-1100mah for the dhd battery that should be 1230mah.
They've answered to emails with varying delay of 4-7 days, but to my latest email i haven't gotten a reply, when i asked them to send me instructions to return the package. They seem to be purposely delaying the case by asking silly questions i've already given them an aswer to. It's been almost a month and a half since my first email to them.
Going to report them to my credit card company so they will take it from here.
I bought a Full Housing Cover and a Complete Screen Assembly with Bezel for my Galaxy S II i9100, and they were out of stock. Waited for two weeks and they were still out of stock. Asked for a refund 4 days ago and they haven't replied yet or issued the refund. I'm glad I paid with paypal. If by the end of the week they still haven't issued a refund, I'm going to report them.
EDIT: They issued a full refund to my paypal today.
review parts4repair.com
I bought a full housing form Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and 2 cover camera lens on 4/11/2013.
Products are handed over to carrier on 7/11/2013 (SingaporePosts...very good assistance and fast answer: vote 5 stars!!!) and it shipped on 12/11/2013 by naval ship (very bad!!!).
Shipping arrives in Italy (to Milan) on 04/12/2013 ( 1 month) but the product is been blocked to Italian mail customs up to 21/12/2013 for controls because it was declared as "fashion accessory" for a value of €1.
I was almost certain that the product would be blocked, but unexpectedly, it is unlocked on 12/27/2013 and delivered today 23/12/013.
With much surprise I enjoyed an excellent packaging and protection product.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with parts4repair.com even if I wrote them all history and I said them that I don't buy no more from them just because delivery times are too long.
I would add that every time I contacted parts4repair for a problem about shipment, they answered me immediately, in 24 hours to my email
Be warned!!!!
Before ordering a replacement screen for my TF700 I checked for positive or negative experiences with Parts4Repair.com here on XDA. Only found this thread and decided to try it.
I ordered a V02 of the screen for $ 97,90 including shipping on 24/08/13 and received an incompatible version V01 on 10/09/13. After sending an email the same day I received an email asking me to return the screen back to them. (needed to return it to China for $ 13,- without tracking, which I found expensive enough). Four days later I receive an automatically generated email where they state that the purchase is refunded through PayPal.
On 25/10/13 they confirm reception of the screen and confirm (again) to refund (as they didn't have the V02 screen!).
As of yet (08/01/14) I haven't received a refund.
So Parts4Repair.com first sends a wrong item, then doesn't have the ordered item at all, confirms twice to refund and in the end doesn't do anything.
PayPal wasn't any help either because they requested a tracking number, after I had already send it back and they refuse to look at the emails confirming the return of the screen.
Just to add my voice. Ordered a chip for my sammy October / November... One month - nothing... started chasing and they said it had been sent... oddly the tracking date it was sent was when I complained.... Too late to place a Paypal complaint in.
Any way - eventually got it on the phone and found it was DOA - was sold tested. Not only that the the BGA balls where not great.
I've had the chip pulled off again and now have an RMA ( although no postal address Ahhhhh ) so dependant on postage I'll send it back.
What worries me is if I send it will I actually get a refund or fobbed off ? I wasnt cheap but for piece of mind I may just....
Over all...
Comms 2/10
Speed 1/10
Quality of Product 1/10
I would love to know about other suppliers as others have asked for items like chips....

Hi Friends,
I just ordered my HTC One XL LCD+Glass+Bezel and waiting for its delivery.
This is what I ordered:
HTC One XL LCD+Glass+Bezel for 56.90
Here in India this phone is not sold so spares are also not available. Fingers crossed.
Will update once I get the part. Lets see how it goes.
Cheers
parts4repair.com
The 18th of June I ordered 2 new glass for my Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 and payed $70 for the glass and $40 for DHL shipping I got my packaged the 23rd of June so fast delivery.
But what I got was not what I ordered so I mailed them they denied first that they had done anything wrong, so I took some pictures of the wrong glass laying beside the right one, then they admitted they sent wrong item, and now the hell started.
I wanted them to send the right items, and then I could maybe send the wrong ones back after all it was only $70 in sell value,
they denied that said I had to send back first and when they got the items they should send me my ordered items.
I gave in and sent their items back for $26 it took about a month for them to get the items, now when they shall send me my items they say they only have white ones,
I ordered 1 black and 1 white, I said it was OK to send 2 white instead and I asked how they would refund me the shipping cost I had when returning their items, then they say that if I want refund they will send the items with snail post.
Now I starting to get really pissed what was started as something I thought was cheap, ended up quite expensive and I have still not seen what I ordered.
SO ALL I CAN SAY, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.

Ordered mine today (pre order actually)

and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.
I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.
I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.
I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.
I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!
Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.
Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.
Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.
Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited
Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

Best Buy, but it looks like they're sold out of them now. I originally did B&H, but on Tuesday I saw BB was promising delivery date of the 7th so I canceled my order with B&H and went with BB.

I just got the charge from B&H, and invoice says it has been sent to the warehouse. I'm guessing they have stock and will ship soon.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.

Pre ordered in Belgium on 25 feb . First the releasedate was 01 april , but yesterday got mail that it moved to 11 march ....
Wow, just got mine today and it's a real beauty. I am just charging it up now and will install all my apps once done charging. I am looking forwards to taking it through its paces

Question Anyone else's flip 3 delayed?

I ordered a gray and pink 256mb flip 3s on 8/13. A few weeks ago got an email stating a 30 day delay which I read was more that the phones haven't shipped yet and its been 30 days.
My estimated delivery has always been 9/21. Well I just got a new email stating phones are delayed with no new shipping date available. My 9/21 date is now gone from my app and only shows order date of 8/13.
Anyone else get delayed? I kind of wish I got the black and just skinned it to change up colors.
That's strange. What market are you in? I ordered the 256gb gray one on the 15/08. Received it on the 10/09. I'm in the UK.
A 30 day delay could mean the beginning of October (~ 10/8). Typically, they mean business days.
The release was 8/27, so the actual order date only matters for your place in line when they become available. The estimate also relies on every shipment being as large or larger than predicted.
Realistically, I ordered a (whatever) white Note 20 Ultra that looked really nice the whole four times I saw it without a case. One of those times was when taking it to be repaired because the adhesive under the glass magically began to peel and the other was when I sent it in for a trade-in. I got black this time.
I ordered mine on the 16/9, and it arrived on 17/9... I didn't even know stock shortages were a thing for this phone.
Of course they added the 'free watch' offer on the 17th, so I'm now having to go through the process of returning this day-old phone and ordering a new on just so I can get the offer, and there's probably going to be a shortage now..
I'm in Egypt. I ordered my phone from Samsung on 15/08 and was supposed to be delivered by the 7th of September. My phone was delayed for a week, then, Samsung decided to ship the phone without the gift leather case and without the 1-year accidental screen damage replacement card.
They sent an email stating that the gifts will be delayed for two weeks, however I received my phone yesterday.

California, USA. Maybe has to do with the pink color delayed.

What carrier was offering the free watch?
Update this morning. Order when from customizing to created and cancel button gone. Now 10 minutes later order is now "in process". Might be getting soon?!
And its shipped! Just got notification earlier this evening. Will be here in 2 days. Very excited.
Well...2day via fedex is a bust. "Potentially delayed" and stuck at the local fedex about an hour away...was suppose to arrive yesterday, no new delivery date posted. Samsung did offer an additional 5% off order once it delivers so that is good.
I've had 10 delays from this same fedex in the past, one being a month long fiasco. So I am not expecting my flip 3's anytime soon.
Worst case scenario I will just pick up the black flips at best buy or tmobile next week and call it a day.
I picked up the black one in store.
