Can't find nook anywhere!!

I went to and called 10 different stores yesterday, and couldn't find Nook in the NE Atlanta area :-(. Only one I found was from someone trying to sell one a month old for 267.00 but its was raining and he didn't want to meet because of weather =(. Really can't wait til valentines day. Oh yeah even Amazon has them @ 281 + shipping, lol did xda drive up demand?

The recall turned out to be a rumor. They're just moving inventory around.
I live near the Mall of Georgia and the BN there had them in stock last time I checked a week or so ago.

Yes, after christmas they dropped the sony readers and started carrying the nook. That is where i bought mine.

our walmarts here dont carry nooks. our B&N has a whole cabinet full of them though

Yeah, my local BNs seem to have enough to go around. When I checked about a week ago, they said "we have plenty!", and I bought one from them

The WalMart near me in Alpharetta has had them before Christmas. My wife said that a few weeks ago they stopped having them. Probably B&N prioritizing selling through their own stores first.

The one at the forum on peachtree parkway (peachtree corners) had them last week.
You could call and check.
It was one that was never updated. 1.0.0 out of the box.

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.

Possible way to get $50 refunded for 16 GB owners

Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.
The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out.

Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.

Yes. Money is tight for me right now and $50 is enough that I want it back. It has nothing to do with being cheap.

I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.
I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.
In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?

I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.
If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.

I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.

Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?
Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of

It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...

I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol
But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?

I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.
Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.

I saw the rumors but didn't start to really swirl until after the end of my 14 day return policy. It was the KFHD that got me into this mess, got one from amazon, didn't like it even after root but it wet my appetite to get a new toy
But in the end, it is what it is.

five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....

How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

Chromecast at Best Buy

I lucked out, my local Best Buy had a few Chromecasts in stock, and I was able to get one. I had to ask at the register though, as they had them stashed away in the back.
Also, my receipt did have the promo code for the three months of free Netflix streaming.
Watching a stream of the Super Series '76, Russian Red Army versus the Philadelphia Flyers on my television through the Chromecast right now. It's pretty nifty.
Now once I get the one I ordered from the Google Play Store, I'll have one for the television in the basement too!

My local best buy said they won't be getting them for 3 weeks! I'm wondering if I asked the wrong person..

probably that person didn't know.
I know the BB i went to had some (but sold out by the time I got there). First two guys I asked didn't know what it was, next guy said that they won't carry it till next week

I got mines today!. I called the bestbuy by my job and the girl told me that they had 8 in stock but to get there fast...she wasn't kidding I went in and there was a buy behind me buying one to. I called about a hour later and they sold out! I tried it out at work and it's great! When I got home I set it up again and netflix really does stream in HD very very clear. Now that the sdk is released I can't wait to see what kind of support we will see for it I'm in love with it this is really the future of TV.:good:

I talked to someone at the local store and they said they would be getting there's tomorrow. Hopefully they will have them when they open.

Mine got them tonight. Reserved it from the site and picking it up tomorrow.... got one from Amazon coming Tuesday as well

Got mine at a local Best Buy also.. On the website pretty much all of them in the immediate area were sold out, luckily this other one just had a truck come in with the first of their shipment. The guy in the TV section and the girl at the register told me it was asked about ALOT lol
Code still worked for Netflix also

Also got mine from my local Best Buy... They only had 7,and they weren't on the sales floor. The guy didn't even know what I was talking about, but I asked him to check the system and he found them in the back. One other person was there for them, and he bought 3.

Yup, popped over to my BB this evening around 9 pm, and when I got there (back in the laptop/iPad area) I noticed one of the Geek Squad guys was on stocking duty...and one thing he was stocking on the peg rack was about 10 of the Chromecasts (peg didn't even have a tag on it yet). Once I waited for him to finish, I went over a picked up 2 of them. Though I did notice that while I waited for him to stock the shelf about 2 different BB employees grabbed one each, presumably to pay for them at the end of the night.
Interesting this is, before I headed over there, I saw online that that store (plus maybe one other that was several miles away) had them in stock for store pickup...but after I got home around 10pm, I looked online again and they only listed "Ship to Store - 3-5 days"...now unless the rest were snatched up by employees during the last 45 minutes of business hours, I can't imagine that customers bought them up, but who knows. Anyways I'm considering myself lucky to have gotten hooked up!!
By the way, is there a dedicated XDA forum branch for the Chromecast development or other discussion, other than this area? I'm assuming that there at least will be since the SDK is being released and many cool things should be on the horizon.

as a Best Buy employee, I'm proud to say, as soon as it came off our truck last night, I begged my manager to let me buy it before we closed. but in all fairness, just call your local store in the morning and see if they have any in yet. most stores only received 10 initially, but i know my store is getting another 35 in the next day or two.
just call and ask, if they have it, go buy it asap

Hey thanks for chiming in here. I guess your experience goes to further support my observation at my local BB at around 8:45 pm local time this evening. Again as I said, it appeared that they were only then unpacking/unboxing these items and setting them up on store shelves. In the case of my store, they put it on an unlabeled peg tucked away on the same tiny wall as other miscellaneous USB dongles, almost like they didn't have a proper home for it (and in that case, good luck to anyone who is hoping to locate it in the store without first asking a BB employee to look it up!). At any rate, it appears that at least anyone with any tech savvy (i.e. BB employees and XDA members, lol) are all over these things, so I second reloaded's suggestion - unless you've already placed an online order somewhere, forget the online vendors and try hitting up your local Best Buys tomorrow AM, and then in the coming days. That is undoubtedly going to be your absolute best bet.

Was able to snag 2 at my local best buy. 1 for me, and another to see if I can flip for more money on eBay if they are as hard to come by as the nexus 4 launch. Here's to hoping !
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Wow....I just checked also. At 7:45 I called the only BB online close to me that still had them available. The girl checking told me the truck arrived not to long ago with 16 in the shipment. When I got mine (as stated earlier) at 8pm, they still had most left..Checking on the website again, they are ship to store now..
Jesus these things are like hotcakes lol...They are selling on Ebay for a pretty penny too!!

First Best Buy I went to this morning swore up and down there was no way to get them until next week. After asking another employee to check the SKU(9071056) and told me they did not have any in stock but the store about 10 min away still had all 10.
Ran over to the other store.. just as others have already said.. it was in the laptop section. They were still in a box on the counter. Netflix code was printed on the receipt.

Mine only had 3 when I got there (they were in a box by the online pick up guys) I got one and while I was chatting with the sales guy about it (he had a ton of questions) some geek squad came by and swooped up the other 2 to put on reserve for an online order. I was close to not getting mine too...

I went to the 24 hour union square bestbuy the moment I saw you all saying bestbuy had it. I have mine backordered on Amazon so my patience was thin. The guys never hear or saw it before and had to hunt it down for a friend and I. I picked up 3 (my room, living room, girlfriend) and my cruel friend picked up the remaining 7 (wonder why). The workers got hyped by what we told them and said they guess they would pick one up at the next shipment and then a customer walked up and saw then said wow you cleaned house.

Going to try to find one of these today. Going to call ahead first when they open at 10am, hopefully they'll know what I'm talking about. lol.

Bought mine from Best Buy yesterday. Wasn't even on the shelf yet and heard I was the second person to buy one. Got the netflix offer too. I'm loving it.

Operation - Trick Best Buy on Sale of Nexus 5

Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.
Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.
Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.
I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.
If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.
Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.
PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!

Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?

We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.
... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.

UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?

I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..

a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw

If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.

UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?

That and whether or not their system will allow them to sell it.

Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)

I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.

Hmm. I have a friend that works at BB.

So would it be better to go to the store and hang around the phones? Or just call the store?
