Absolutely Fuming!!!

OK so to add to the Saga of f**k ups by Google, Managed to order 2 phones (one for me and one for my brother) ordered 2x16gb and received 2x8gb. Rang Google to play hell with them and they basically told me that I either return them and wait up to 4 weeks for stock to come in or take the hit and pay £279 for 8gb. This is totally unacceptable but what else can I do?? I sold my S3 when i got my order accepted. :crying:
Ricey

Edit:I apologize for being an ass

thats sucks! well if i were you, i would just send it back and get the 16! and from then till now just use a chippie phone until it arrives... but what an inconvinience

Aw poor thing you. So they were obviously out of 16gb and possibly gave you 2x 8 GB with which many people would have been happy with and would not have to wait weeks. Spoiled brat. Go sell each for 500$ on ebay

You're calling him spoiled?
If he bought something and it isn't what he received, he has every right to claim it.

I would be happy taking the 8gb version if they would credit the difference but they wont.

I'm just annoyed by all these whiny people. What he has there is profit. Just sell it on ebay and wait a month. Sure he has every right to return it. But with such a high demand for this device and the chances being high that he maybe wouldn't have gotten the 16 GB he could make the best out of it done returning it will have him waiting.

More stock is coming in 4 weeks? That's depressing.

I have ZERO sympathy for people who ordered after selling their only phones.... You had plenty of time to save up and pay outright...
I have my trusty one x which I don't even know if I'm gonna sell now due to the mixed reviews...

If this truly is the case then yes, I would be extremely angry. You paid extra for one with more storage but they gave you one of lesser value instead and won't refund the difference.
Not only is it enough to make someone very angry but it is completely illegal.

No stock for 4 weeks! Wow, I'll grab a Nexus 7 now and then save what I spent on the Nexus 7 for 4 weeks time then I guess.

Apparently it ain't their policy as they cannot prove they are 8gb. Surely they could check via IMEI?

I must have missed the part that said you payed 2x 16 GB and got 2x 8gb and they are not willing to give you the difference. In that case I'll say I'm sorry and an idiot to be quick to judge.

Ya that's bait and switch which is illegal. Don't know what kind of consumer protection op country has but I can't imagine that being ok.

Haha... good joke there from Google; send a £249 phone for £279 because they don't have them in stock.
Seems legit.

You need to call back and get a supervisor on the phone. If they won't help get their supervisor on the phone.
Mistakes happen but you, the paying customer, shouldn't have to pay for it.

No worries, So you all think the best thing is just to sell on ebay? Tempted just to suck it up but my pride is hurting lol

If you do call back, you should probably wait until you cool down a bit. Eventhough it is absolutely Google's mistake, no one responds well to people yelling at them.

Backpage Deal For a Note II

Well, I hate to be posting this in a topic I have no idea if it will fit here. But I am looking for answers before i take a dive. I've been emailing this dude on Backpage and have been thinking about going through with a deal for a T-Mobile Note 2 for 350. Which honest to god seems too good to be true.I went on there because I heard that you have to pay for a membership to get in and I figured, why would this guy have a membership and be able to legally scam people if he wasn't legit? He's also telling me to go through Google Checkout and that there will be an email that i have to reply to that says that my payment will be secure and insured. (Obviously, I've never used it before.) Ships from Romania and after I get the package I have 30 days to return it to get my money back.
My question is, Should I go for it? I really need a new phone since my SGS II is having trouble holding a charge and my wife is giving me the ok to go ahead and do it, but honestly, seems too good to be true. He says he has friends in the factory and a contract with UPS to get cheap shipping. :x Help me out guys?

Backpage?

In all honesty, Don't take the deal? Says I have before the 15th.

A lot of people do that, if you google these kinda deals, you will find that a lot is a scam, they offer low prices cause they buy in bulk, but in the end either you will get a empty box or a china version of the same phone

Not necessarily I brought a nexus one off amazon as a temporary device for only 100$ and turned or fine

Asurion Replacement

So I lost my beloved One last week and I'm still waiting on Asurion to ship me a phone. Has anyone had to get an insurance replacement yet and if so how long did it take? Every rep I speak to gives me a different time frame. Some say 1-3 days and some say 7-10 business days. I'm getting antsy and want my One back.

I'm not positive what the Asurion replacement turn around is on the One but I received other replacement phones and I always received them within 48hrs.

last week and no phone yet ?
You need to get Sprint on that as well
retention number 888-273-9460

Retentions pretty much said "Sorry about your luck" and told me to open a new line for a phone if I couldn't wait 3 weeks for an insurance replacement and didn't want to pay retail. Kind of let down over Sprints customer service through this process. I love paying for service and not having a phone.

I just dropped my One and the screen is shattered, plan to file a claim soon. Biggest worry I have is that they won't give me a One but a different phone. I don't mind waiting a few weeks if thats what it takes. Thoughts?

was wondering if you discussed if your replacement was new or are they sending refurbs yet? I have cracked screen so I was curious. thx.

I just got my replacement phone a few days ago. Assurion said they were back ordered but I received my phone before I got my tracking email.

That's really good to know. I assume the phone was brand new considering there probably aren't any refurbs.

I claim my on April 26, they send me evo lte in 48 hours, so i claim that is not the phone, they gonna replace. Im still waiting. they said is on back order

Iv'e heard this happening to a lot of people. Going to call them to make sure they don't mess up.

How does everyones phone get lost or stolen from them? Isnt a phone something you keep in your pocket when not in use?
I have a feeling people are just taking advantage of Asurion policies on lost and stolen phones.
I heard they getting rid of that policy really soon anyway.

I left it in my jacket pocket. I now have a locker.... You guys need to be serious. I've been with sprint for over 10 years. And probably only had 4 replacements. I don't need to scam for money. It's really irritating when there is people like you that make assumptions of people and don't even know their name.... I just hope you guys never have anything stolen from you since you two live in a perfect world. Or maybe it's my avatar that would make you have a prejudice assumption.

So I just got off of the phone with Asurion and they're telling me they seem to be getting regular inventory of our phones in now. They said mine should ship no later than Thursday. I stil find it ridiculous that this is taking weeks but at least I'll get one soon.
I actually went to Sprint and paid full price for a new One this weekend after another talk with retentions. They told me to do that and take it back after my insurance replacement comes in. Seems a little extreme I should have to shell out 600 bucks while waiting weeks for an insurance replacement but they promised me the restocking fee would be waived.
Also to the guy claiming there's too many people abusing insurance replacements; sorry sir but not all of us live in a perfect world. My phone actually walked off from one of the more classy bars in St. Louis where you wouldn't think there are any shady characters around. I set it on the bar for less than 2 minutes inches from me and somebody was smooth enough to swipe it without me or anyone else in my group noticing. There are thieves around regardless of where you are and thinking there isn't is pretty naive.

PSA - AT&T Insurance will NOT replace your phone

It is covered, but the company that handles insurance claims for them can not get you a new N5. They will offer you a G2.
The reason is their phones are sent from a carrier's warehouse. AT&T is not carrying the N5, so their warehouse will never have it.
On that note; any suggestions how to get the phone quickest? Is it possible to go to Best Buy and claim it through AT&T there once the phone is released? I JUST got done with the long ass wait, it's gonna kill me to go through the credit card for a refund and place another order and wait weeks and weeks. Or is it best to contact LG / Google
It was a drop, so my fault.

A. Why would you ever think AT&T could replace a phone they don't sell.
B. You should actually be happy about this, you should be able to flip a G2 for more than enough to buy another N5 and maybe even make a healthy profit in the process.

G2's are going for $500+ so you'll easily be able to get another N5.

The G2 is a much better phone anyways

That's debatable. I'd take a nexus 5 over it any day of the week. Yes it gets better battery life, has a slightly larger screen, and takes slightly better pix, but that UI is just alwful! I rather have faster updates too.

The UI alone is enough to make me want to not touch it with a 10ft pole. Even Touchwiz is better. Yes, I just said that.
OP: Take the G2 and sell it.

It is really interesting because today I asked from orange (switzerland) my insurance is valid for N5? They're said of course. But in Switzerland actually you cannot buy N5 directly from any carrier.

Probably a better insurance plan. The US carriers use Assurion, a company that will screw you every chance it gets. My last phone was like $12/mo premium with a $200 deductible. No thanks.
OP, I agree with the others. Take the G2, sell it on Swappa, and buy a new N5 and clear $50 or so.

If you bought it through an AMEX card or have auto payment setup on Wells Fargo, I believe they take care of stuff like that.
