Since you can't post a link yet there it is for everyone to make it easy. Also for those who haven't ordered from Tiger direct. They're great ship fast and no tax unless you're in Florida.
Just ordered one. $307 with shipping. Great deal! Thanks for the heads up.
TigerDirect prolly bought 5k of the 10k sold, lol.
Sell them for $15 more...
$15x5000 = whoa
So where does the coupon code go?
Edit - never mind. Finally found it at the bottom of the cart...
Returning my item bought on 3/16
I bought my g Tablet from them for $349.99 on 3/16. I am returning it. Also, I got one from woot this week.
I bought one from tigerdirect.ca on Sunday for $399CAD (received it Tuesday). I just emailed them and they're refunding me the $60 difference on the new price drop.
Great Forum
Ordered mine with a 32 Gig SD card. Thanks to everyone for all the great information and all the hard work. I have no doubt I will be enjoying this for a very long time.
Yea, I'm kicking myself for buying one for $100 more than the woot deal just long enough ago that I can't return it. Goodbye resale value.
Thank you LucasMN for the deal info, and thank you jcdsilva for pointing out Tigerdirect's 30 price protection policy... I was the one who posted the $339 deal a few weeks back and already emailed them about refunding me the difference!!! Now I don't have to bang my head against the wall while cursing WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!
Yet again, guilty... just ordered 5
Thanks for the heads-up. Wife's been wanting one of these and the 3 bills price point was my target. She'll be happy!

cool... that was nice of them.
Exact thing happened to me. I missed their $20 deal by 1 day, bought it for $399 on Sun, got it a couple of days ago and today it's on for $60 less...
So what did you say to persuade them to give you the refund?
Thanks....
man i shoulda waited for this deal instead of jumping on woot. The shipping at tiger is dirt cheap in contrast to other etailers and I could expect the product to be shipped same day. Now since woot doesn't have a real order history that shows order status, I have to basically watch it like a hawk to see when my order ships because my area is high crime. Most packages get stolen if not immediately intercepted.
Buggah, can't order online for international delivery.
Have to make phone call.....
Just ordered mine with 2-day shipping. $311, not bad considering Office Depot was $379 and Sears was $399.
If video chats were viable, I would have no qualms in buying my 2nd unit from CC/TD/Compusa

Many thanks to the OP and all who posted here. I did pick up one from Tiger Direct today using the posted code.
I dithered all day on the Woot deal finally telling myself not to buy version one of anything. Then was at Best Buy and played with the iPad one and two which sold me on the concept.
With Woot charging sales tax and Tiger not I will actually save about $2.

Just to note, it's a few more states than that:
"We only charge tax in FL, IL, NC, TX, GA, SD and ID"
(I knew they'd have to charge tax in IL because they have a warehouse in the Chicago burbs and have a couple stores as well)
I just noticed the HP Touchpad Touchstone back at HP.com for $55, but there's also a $10 off coupon code, that brings it to $50.01 after tax (for me at least).
Here's the link to the product page: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FB339AA%23ABA?
Here's the coupon code: SVP471394
I just wanted to share it with everyone since I've been looking for a good Touchstone deal for days now and I finally found one! I hope it helped
I was able to get one from ebay for $38 shipped.
wow, I checked eBay for a while and almost every one was over $50 before the auction was even over...
I got mine for 40 at walmart
staples has them for 40 bucks, and all other accessories are 50% off at bestbuy/futureshop! I got em all!
I got an email from HP that had a 25% off coupon over the whole out of stock debacle, used that for a case and a touchstone. It expired after 2 days however, so it's no longer valid. I'm just happy they got both those items back in stock before it expired.

None of the Staples or BestBuys near me have anything... OfficeDepot had amazing prices on everything but they sold out insanely fast.
Also, I didn't even think of that 25% off coupon....haha that would be awesome if I could have used that...
HP in the UK will take orders for them, quoting ~10 days till stock arrives. £34.50, works out about $56 with free delivery.
The HP Canada online store has them for $39.99 with free shipping in Canada. Posted coupon code will not work in Canadain store (hey, it was worth a try). I've checked with every store within 150Km of my home and none are available.
I went to Wal-Mart and found 2 on the shelf along with the wireless keyboard. I got asked the manager I called Office Depot and had them do a price check, would they match the price. He said sure. So I got all the stuff for 50% off. Pretty nice!!! I'm using the keyboard and the charging station right now.
got a touchstone and 2 genuine cases for £52 at a small carphone warehouse a couple of days ago, then yesterday I got the wireless keyboard for £20 and the international charger for £10 from pc world. The stuff is still out there hanging on racks if you look around
HP cases available again at HP web store 9 Sep 11
Just bought 2 for $30 each with free shipping plus a $10 off coupon for orders over $50. HPSAVE10
Hopefully some of you can get in on this!

Don't know why the link isn't working... Use it then search "touchpad case"
Here's the link http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pr.../1?jumpid=in_r329_personalization/browse1/PHP
Tim
Did anybody else get one?
I bought the last hp case they had for $23 great deal
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
save15hp
Try the HP company store and use the coupon in the header. Brings the Touchstone down to $45.00 and the case to $24.00 plus tax with free shipping. Good luck.
save15hp
i saw probably 4 of them at walmart yesterday for $50... i'm not interested so i didn't buy it... would like to get a case though
I think they're out of stock again. While the product page doesn't say so, after you finish ordering, HP sends you an email telling you that they cannot process your order. I tried twice and it didn't work both times.
About the coupon, the HP cart accepts it and even reflects the discount, but as soon as it goes to paypal, the amount changes over to the original cost of the products.
Beware!
The cases are back in stock, I just got 2 of them at $19.99 a piece!
I don't think I can post links yet but Google search: HP Touchpad Case and you will see it in HP Direct store. =)
Went into BestBuy to get 2 Otterbox Defender cases. They had black priced at $49.99 and purple $49.99 when online said they were on sale. Went to ring up and they said they were on a bundle sale. One was going to be full price and then the other was going to be 1/2 price. $49.99 (1) $24.99 for 2nd total $74.98 before tax.
I said I wasn't going to pay the price I could get them cheaper online. The only reason I was buying them at BB was because I had a gift card. The sales staff scanned the barcode and said he could sell one to me for $24.99, he didn't say it was on sale or not but when they looked it up at the register it still said $29.99.
I told them to look it up on their website and it showed the in store price $29.99 not the $49.99 and $34.99 not the $49.99 price they had in store. Then it showed the black being on sale for $19.99 and the other for $24.99.
Store price: Both cases $49.99 (Big Difference from $29.99 and $34.99)
Online price showed $29.99 on sale $19.99 and $34.99 on sale $24.99 WHICH BestBuy Did price match their own price.
It seems crazy that a tech company can’t even get All their pricing on the same page. The floor sales person scans the item and say’s one price, the register scans the item and comes up with a 2nd price, they then look up the price on their website and find a different price to manually enter the sales price and credit my card.
They did match their own price although over the course of this I realized their price match guarantee excludes 11/28 - 12/2 very interesting.
Your english is interesting. Just kidding.

No doubt I was doing this from my phone so it is very confusing. I'm going to revise it late from a desktop. My main issue is to always research because once I put it all together it appears that the price was increased in stores to look like a sale.
I realize that the 64Gb version is $349. But, it has to be shipped from China , go thru US customs, applicable sales tax in Masachusettes.
SO
Shipping cost = ?
Custom duty cost = ?
Massachusettes tax = ?
I had, couple of years ago, bought a phone from Canada and when the USPS was delivering it to my door, I had to pay an additional $33 immediately (I assume Massachusettes taxes and or Customs-I don't remember which)
So I take the 349, add a shipping cost (I am guessing) of $15:00, plus Custom duty/Massachusettes sales tax of about $33:00 will bring the real cost to my door of approximately $400 and change. So the real cost to me will be approximately $400 give n take. It is still a good idea but real numbers mean more than just a listed number.
Any one out there that has received their Oneplus in the USA, what were those other costs?
Thanks in advance.
I can't really answer your question, but for me in Germany/EU there were no extra costs.
300€ + 5€ express shipping + a few € for a screen protector.
A user asked the OP support for the costs and they replied:
Thanks for contacting us. The price for the phone itself (64GB) is USD349, plus shipping fee of $16 for standard and $19 for express, hence the total cost will be around $365-370. The tax is included in the price.

There now is an additional 'sign on deliver' cost of 2.35$.

First off, the phone is not shipped from China. It is shipped from Anaheim California. The tax is included in the $349. Shipping is $14 now I believe, when I paid it was $360 in total and delivered via 2 day usps to new York.

That explains why I got my OnePlus One so damn fast I live near Anaheim lol Anyway, the standard shipping was $10 and $350 for the phone, I didn't pay a penny over $360.
oki doki, the shipping sounds reasonable and I like it. Thanks all for your responses.

There's a return address on the yellow envelope you can see where it is coming from.

The shipping varies depending on where it's going within the United States. I've bought two, I'll list their shipping locations below along with their price.
New Lenox, IL - $11.99
Minden, NV - $10.34

NO matter how you slice it the phone plus shipping is well worth it. So dont sweat shipping cost for an phone you wont be mad at!

I ordered mine tody and I live in Bakersfield Ca. it's about two and a half hours from Anaheim. I wonder how long it will be for me?
Anyone have any recommendations regarding reliable stores on Ali Express
The 7 pro is about 1 to 200 euro cheaper there at the moment.
I understand that it will be china model but seems like a deal.
Anyone any experience with this ?

This is the seller which my friend is working with. He is trusted since me and my friends bought a lot from him.
So you save up to 200 euro to wait at least 30 days for shipping from a sketchy retailer you have no info on.
Or just wait 25 days, you will potentially be able to save up that extra 200 euro, then order directly from oneplus or another trusted retailer near you and get it in the same or possibly sooner time frame and it will be the correct model for your region.

I think your missing the point,
I'd still have to pay €750 for the phone that way I could actually do that now if I wanted to but I wouldn't be saving anything
Site is trusted & tested ,If Anything goes wrong AliExpress team Steps in & Almost gives decision in favour of customer. They Even sometimes flash International rom on it. I ordered Oneplus 1 from them & several items afterwards

I just got information from the seller that If you write a message to this seller during the order and give him my nick as a code: Dorsefrith you will get 5% discount
You will have to wait with payment until he lowers the price.
Gone off the idea of using AliExpress,seems it's hit or miss when you will actually receive the device and stores advertising 6-8 days DHL is just an empty promise and then you've got the possibility of dealing with Customs,It's easy to get pulled in with the prices but overall not worth the hassle.
Gearbest is decent should be faster than Ali Express and some coupons for discount, Also avoid DHL they're a scam. I've had problems with them in the past with custom charges etc.
I want to buy from Gearbest but the phone was sell only from China or Hong Kong warehouse. Price was Good.
In my country, 19% vat + 2-4% custom... NO ! Thanks. But NO!
I both from a sales forum in my country a blue OnePlus 7 pro 8gb-256gb with 550 euro . Wonderful!

You'll still pay import taxes, if not then it's an illegal sale.
