Im just wondering cause I don't really have much to trade in.. I could probably sell my stuff for more on craiglist anyways

Hello All,
I can also confirm I have my tablet from game stop!!!
Called me earlier, had in store waiting for me.
I'm in Somerville NJ

Checked my messages at home and got a call from gamestop that my nexus 7 is ready for pick up. Headed there now to pick it up!!!

Man these stores are going to get into serious trouble for selling these, and now that they are actually being sold at retail, we still arent getting any word from google about our play store pre-orders, more and more people are getting them at their local retail stores now and no other info what so ever, really a shame as I sold my other tablet early because I expected to get this based on what they had said about availability and you would figure that pre-orders from their site would be showing up on people's doorsteps now if others are actually buying them from places like Gamestop. Of course Gamestop isnt supposed to be selling these, so thats probably why, you are lucky you got it because you werent supposed to

Picked mine up in Ohio, no problems.

Was called at noon to come pick up my nexus from my local MD Gamestop. So happy I don't have to wait until August 7th.

Got mine from Gamestop in North FL. Last one they had and I didn't preorder.

Just bought mine from GameStop. I didn't pre-order.
The only devices they had there were the ones that had gotten pre-ordered, and the guy working there was the only one to pre-order it. So he sold me his reserved one. Said he would wait a little longer and take his girlfriend out to dinner or something.
Made my week.

Reserved it yesterday. Turns out I don't get it for another week or so since they don't have any except for pre orders (and I was the only one).

I won't list the city because we don't have a lot of Gamestops in the state and I don't want ours getting in trouble, but got the text around 9:20AM and a phone call at 10:30 (while on the phone with one store rep who said they couldn't sell it...) saying it was ready for pick up. Went and got it, was told they got an email this morning to "sell them if you got them"...and we were "supposed" to be the August 7th wave...but still got it today...and the price rang up as $99,999.00 originally, took a LOT of finaggling on the clerk's part to get the price down to the $249.99...then the poor kid gave me CASH BACK (the ENTIRE nexus7 was paid for by the trade in of a butt load of "older" games and an ipad 1st gen 16gb, which the nexus was replacing) for my store credit, and I did the math, they didn't pull my extra 20% that they were supposed to...bonus of $20 for me today!

Samclub is selling them also. I'm in line buying it right now.

Seen the "Gamestop ok to release Nexus 7" article this morning. I called mine and they said since I pre-ordered on the last day I would get it tomorrow or Monday. Then my wife got a text saying I could go pick it up today. Don't know who to believe, the manager or the text!

I just talked to a Gamestop rep in Slidell La. Gamestop stores in Covington, picyune and Mandeville are in stock. No stores on the south shore have them yet but she did say they're expecting their shipment later. I guess around 3 pm.

Who pre-ordered but bought elsewhere?

Just out of curiosity - Who out of us pre-ordered from Google Play and ended up purchasing elsewhere?

I pre ordered on the 27th but ran out a couple hours ago and grabbed the last one that Abt Electronics had in stock. Gonna either return this one or sell it to my friend when my other one gets here. This thing is pretty badass.

Yep. I called in before I got there and they had 12 left. By the time I got there they were down to 7. They sold out of those 7 from online orders during the 3 minutes I was playing with the floor model. I made a small stink with the manager and made him sell me one of the 7.

I pre-ordered, but got one from gamestop. One of the employees reserved one, but couldn't afford it when it game. I ended up buying his.
But a question:
When my pre-order device comes, I should just take it back to the ups/fedex and say I'm refusing delivery? Do I need to get a Return authorization # from google?

I called Google today about this. I was told the usual story about how it was too late to cancel, but was advised to simply refuse delivery. I'm under the impression that as long as you make sure the UPS driver is not allowed to leave the package at your location, you will be refunded in full. If you cannot properly refuse delivery, bringing it to a UPS facility within 5 business days (with the box unaltered) should also net a full refund.
The bottom line being: don't open the package. don't wait too long to return it if you couldn't refuse delivery.

I bought one from my local sam's club.. I had pre-ordered one from google on July 3rd.. but nothing seems to be moving.
If/when it comes, I'll offer it to my dad if he likes it. If not, I'll either sell it or send it back to google.

Staples' Exchange Policy?

So I, like many others, had a defective Nexus 7 (creaking sound, a bit of a screen separation). I called staples, and asked for an exchange, which they were happy to provide. They sent up a guy this morning with a new Nexus 7 to replace my old one.
The new one has pretty much the exact same issue as the last one. I'm considering asking to exchange AGAIN, or possibly just living with the glass separation issue.
Do any of you know if Staples will exchange/replace more than once? Also, how many of you ordered from Staples and actually received a perfect device (no creaking / glass issue)?
Thanks.

Just try to exchange it at another staples or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28963551 if you are not afraid to open your Nexus

Thing about Staples is that I ordered mine online, so I call online for the support. I already opened up both this one and my last one, still no real fix.
Don't know if I should chance another replacement either, I might risk lightbleed/dead pixels (which I don't have now). What to do...

I would have no qualms about exchanging the tablet as many times as it takes to get what I paid for. It's a reasonable expectation to get one free of flaws.
Why open a new device and try to fix something that should be handled by the manufacturer?

Could I trouble to ask where you live/what the temperatures are like? At Jersey here, the temps are ~95+. And I feel like that may have something to do with it.

If I were you, I'd just ask for a full refund. Wait until your local stores to stock and buy in person (after checking the quality).

Just got mine replaced at staples. You have 14 days with each product to return it. Either they'll ship a new one or you can return in store.
I went to the store and opened it there to test it.

My tablet was delivered from staples yesterday in that heat wave we had here in NJ. I opened it right away and had no issues right out of the box. Everything is perfect.

I got mine from Staples.com as well and IMO, I have a near perfect tablet except for couple of things. For one, I didn't get the $25 credit. Slightly off topic but did all you (Staples customers) get the $25 credit? I'm weighing the pros and cons of returning it for this reason.

Are you talking about the Play Store credit? I thought that Google detects the google accounts logged in through all Nexus 7, and apply the $25 credit to the account. That way, they don't care where you got your N7 from.

Yes, the Play Store credit. I followed the directions explicitly to get the credit to no avail. I even did a factory rest and entered a different credit card still to avail.

I didn't get the credit when setting it up and seen nothing about it when I finished setting it up but I did get it later in the play store when I went to buy a app it had something like add your credit card to Google wallet and get 25$ play credit. After I added the card it gave the option to use the credit.

I also tried it at the Play store checkout. It gave me that option to add a credit card and get the $25 credit. I added another different credit card but, again, no credit.

Sounds like a lot of people have had virtually perfect tablets from Staples, in the NJ/PA area. I just called again, they'll be picking up my tablet on Friday and sending a new one on Monday. if THAT one has issues... I may just take it to the local staples to refund or to open a box / find one that isn't broken.
Online staples orders can be returned via stores right?

I called the Staples in my area and they said I could return it to their store. Did you get the $25 Play Store Credit??

I work at staples in audobon, new jersey. I'd like to say that we will continue to replace your device until you receive one that is what you had ordered.

I guess I was lucky, I ordered from the Play Store and I got one in very good shape. The left side of the screen is ever so slightly raised, but it's so minor that it's not worth the trouble. It has no effect on my tablet, so I don't care.

Ordered from staples, got my credit.

Walmart in Stock-but not carrying it?

As i am looking online for a 16 gb n7, i found a walmart that is says in stock online. The interesting part is that when i called the store, they said that they are not carrying that product. Should i still try to go pick it up or not. I am really confused right now.

Funny thing about Wal-Mart, they will take back anything, no questions asked, within a year.
Funny story about the funny thing above, Okla. State Univ. recruited a bunch of European women to play on their women's soccer team a few years ago. They all went to Wal-Mart and bought everything that they needed to furnish an entire apartment. When the season and semester was over, the returned everything down to the last spatula, for cash, and flew home.
I hate Wal-Mart with a white-hot passion, but when you need something at 3am, being able to go buy it at the near by Super Center is... grudgingly... pretty cool.

Wal-Mart is about the easiest place ever to return stuff. I wouldn't hesitate at all to buying one from there.

I don't mind Walmart either. Best return policy on the planet. Ghetto as **** though.

Perfect Nexus 7 Finally!!!!
I just bought mine from walmart When I went in they didn't have any out for sale but the website said they had them in stock so I asked the sales guy and he said they had them in the back. After buying one from google play and having severe light bleed it was nice to finally see what a perfect nexus 7 looks like. It looks great no light bleed, no dead pixels, no bad wifi and touch is responsive and colors don't look washed out, feels solid. I also got their 2 year protection for $20.00 it covers anything. So anyone with doubts about walmart might wanna give them a try.

NEEDED: Intel courtesy of someone who works for Wal-Mart.
The inventory information on the Wal-Mart.com that is accessible to the public runs two weeks behind. If you check today for Wal-Mart No.550756186 (the 16gb Nexus 7) it gives you store inventory as of 7/15/2012 (two weeks ago). Searching it for the dozen stores in/near 74105 (Tulsa, OK) shows that all 12 normally carry it, but are out of stock as of 7/15/2012. Well, no****, Sherlock. No Wal-Mart in America had any on 7/15, so this really just tells me that the stores should have it or get some soon. Based on reports in this thread that people are finding them in stock at their local Wal-Mart stores, I went to one here and called five others. None reported having any, but I'm not sure that they made much of an effort to search.
Surely someone who actually worked for Wal-Mart could access inventory info that's much closer to real time (like 24hrs or less). It sure would be nice if someone would tell us what to expect and which Wal-Mart's should have them.
For me, the cost of shipping is typically about the same as sales tax ($16 on the $200 model; $20 on the $250). All things considered, I'd prefer to buy from a local Wal-Mart, have the benefit of no questions asked one year returns and be able to buy a $20 covers nearly everything two year extended warranty. For me, this is preferable to $25 in Google Play credit.
Someone here woks for Wal-Mart, probably. C'mon, help a brother out.

I just ordered mine on the Walmart.com site and it was ready within a few hours. When I went in to pick it up, they said they still had about 12 more in the back. So it seems there may be some truth behind the Walmart Availability. Although, it wasn't displayed in the electronics department yet. Good Luck!

Does anyone know if you can combine the codes for 6 months? It seems as though you would since the code says it applies credit to your account, so redeeming another code should just add more credit to the account.

Thanks for the heads up.

even going into the store, some employees didn't know it came in. the door person said they didn't have any. the TV section guy said they didn't have any. walked by an aisle and saw a display of them.
if you're close enough, waste the gas to drive and check yourself.
