[Q] Nexus Devices Sold through Costco? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone here know if the Nexus 6 will be sold through Costco? Would be awesome to get their free accessory pack and Cash card they offer sometimes.

I was walking through the other day and a salesman approached me with a pitch trying to sell me a phone I told him call me when you get the nexus 6 he replied saying next month as I walked away

I'm waiting for this as well, the last few phones I've bought from Costco, I've gotten the free accessory pack and free activation! Well worth the wait in my opinion!

[Q] Best deal on a Vivid

I have been searching online and it appears the regular upgrade price is $199-00 from ATT and others with Costco being $10 cheaper and they include some accessories plus a favorable return policy.
Anyone know of any better deals out there?
I missed out on Fry's $60 ($90 with tax) deal.
The best deal I could find was $600 at AT&T.
I thought the upgrade price through att was $99.00. That is what I paid for it.
I got mine for $199.00 but two weeks later the black Friday price was $99.00. I got the $100.00 refund of course but I haven't seen it for $99.00 since then.

Good spot, well done. I find it unusual though that they charge you tax on the full retail amount bringing the total somewhere near $120. They also have a lousy 13 day return policy. Makes you wonder if the saving is really worth it.
Not worth it for me considering I would have to drive from Memphis to Duluth or Milton Georgia to partake of the offer.

Maybe it will help someone in the big white north or maybe the states has this promo to.
Best Buy HUP for $99+tax with a $25 gift card. I used the gift card on a case and invisableSHEILD screen protector.
I think it is a good deal.

This is in Canada so i don't know if its the same in the US. Just go into a Best Buy store and see if they got the promo. Plus they should be able to price match with others including carries plus 10% off.

It shows black, but its for the white. I just went to the Fry's in Duluth, GA and picked up 2. One for me and one for the wife. Way better than paying 200! Well worth the 16 hour round trip drive. All I have seen is the black model and never saw the white until yesterday, and I gotta say is, it is a sexy beast! Black looks good, but white looks better. Anyone in the Atlanta area goes to partake of the offer, they only have one more white left. The blacks are being sold at 130.

If you happen to work for AT&T they are offering a $199 discount for this phone if you are upgrading.
I picked mine up for $17 Canadian.
Hardware upgrade price was supposed to be either $99 or $149, I don't remember, but it rang up at $59.99 (at a Rogers store), and while I was signing the paperwork the woman told me 'Don't forget to log into your Rogers account to redeem the $50 mail-in rebate.' I thought it was too good to be true, but sure enough, when I got home, I logged in, and a few minutes later received an email stating that a $50 credit had been applied to my account.
So $10 for the phone, plus $7 (the taxes on $60).
Two days later, a friend picked one up and was charged $150. When she mentioned my deal, the guy at the store said 'Oh, that's not right. But there's nothing we can do about it now.'
Got mine for 99 and my upgrade was not but until march. I called cs and asked if icould get an early upgrade they talked to a supervisor and they offered it and the sgs 2 for 99. Never been happier.

I tried getting the local ATT store to price match and was again turned down. They told me to call retentions at ATT.
Got on the phone with them and they saw me right!!
Phone is on the way to me. I reckon I should see somewhat of a difference between it and my TP2!

Nexus 4: The Australian Thread

Hey Guys!
So the Nexus 4 has been released upon the masses with the first batch of the 16GB being sold out in 22 minutes and the 8GB being sold out a few hours later.
This thread will be a general area for Australian owners and potential owners to hang out, ask questions, get advice and get help quickly and within your time zone.
If anyone helps you or offers you advice don't forget to hit the ":good: Thanks" button in the bottom left corner of their post!
Please let me know if there's any important Australian specific information and I will put it here in the OP!
I'm buying one as soon as we are able to on the 13th. I purchased a nexus 7 on release day from the Google play store and received it 3 days after the funds were taken out of my bank account.
Generally they're pretty good with postage. I wouldn't trade my nexus 7 for anything!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hey can any of you guys tell me how I can get the Nexus 4 in New Zealand from Australia? Don't have an Australian credit or debit card, btw.
Also what are the shipping costs and the price of the phone there? (16 GB)

Not sure about the price to ship to NZ but the shipping cost here for me when it was the N7 launch was $20 2 day shipping.

I'm from India, but my dad will be visiting Australia soon, and I can't wait for him to bring home a Nexus 4.
If a boxed piece is carried, would we have to pay customs/taxes? Any info on this anyone?
Buying one as soon as it hits the Play Store - my F5 key is unaware of the storm that's coming.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Same here, really hope that it is going to be released 12am on the 13th which means we will may - if they start shipping that day - have our orders start to be processed before the US even has the option to order hehe..
That is provided they do something similar to the Nexus 7 launch but in a more organised manner. Which I believe is the case.
(ie. Send large amounts of stock to each country that is selling it, wait for them all to get to respective countries, open orders, all send on the same day worldwide.)
I'm getting 16gb model a few days after launch (pay day)
Do they come from an Australian retailer or do our orders get shipped from the US?
My SGS2 has been good to me. My girlfriend will love it! I just can't pass up paying $399 outright for a phone that on paper, is probably the best on the market? You couldn't pay less than $400 for any other phone on our market could you?
Anywhere we can find a silicon case for the nexus4? Google releasing any at launch? Can't find any info

Someone in one of the other threads said that this will lauch with a bumper case for the nexus 4
I'm totally buying on the 13th, it just annoys me that I have to pay $40 more than in Canada, considering I've only been here for 2 months... WHY COULDN'T THEY RELEASE IT WITH THE NEXUS 7?!
I'm looking at upgrading from my Galaxy S1 to the Nexus 4 when it comes out. I really don't mind the lack of LTE since I'm on TPG (who don't give access to LTE anyway). I'm pretty sure they do give access to Optus HSPA+ though, which should give me a speed bump from my S1 anyhow.
The only thing I am unsure about is using the Nexus 4 as my main music player, which is one of the main things I use my S1 for, apart from the usual phone and mapping stuff. Registering (through an American proxy) for Google Music and uploading all my music seems like the easiest method of doing this, but I am worried whether all the music streaming I would do would chew through my 1.5GB data allowance per month. Can anyone speak to their experience with music streaming with their monthly data allowance? Any better methods than Google Music in Australia? I've tried Spotify and found they didn't really have all the music I would like to listen to, and their app was still Gingerbread styled... ew.
Another (minor) problem is travelling overseas and having music. Data is too costly if travelling, so I suppose I would be stuck using my S1 while travelling, which I would probably keep as a backup phone anyhow.
I'm going to get this in store rather than on the Play Store since I can't convince my parents to shop online so I'm hoping that JB Hi-Fi will sell this by the end of the month (Does anyone know if it will be in stores next week at all?). Otherwise, can anyone name any stores in Melbourne or Sydney that has a possibility of selling this?

hey guys im in melbourne, i convinced my dad and hes said he will order it for me on the 13th november. But probably not 12 am maybe in the evening after he goes home from work. How long do u guys think it will take until the nexus 4 stock for australia runs out? I am paranoid that it will run out when I get it (13 november evening) its probably not possible but im just paranoid :/

O2 listing the N5 for just £549.99....

O2 apparently have the network exclusive on the N5 32Gb in the UK, but they're selling it at a £210 markup!
Crazy that Google are allowing this!
https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/lg/nexus-5/
Boooooooooooooooo!!!
They're just shooting themselves in the foot really. People will just go to Google, type in Nexus 5, see it's only £300 elsewhere and make their purchase there.
What a p*** take!

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!
Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years
It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.
I don't see how o2 can market this as an exclusive when Google is selling it too.. plus the price difference.
Rip-off, plus you end up with a phone hobbled to O2

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.
are they giving away any tv this year?

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.

I was at best buy other day and asked the rep in the mobile section and he told me that they would not carry the n6, but he could have been wrong or stalling.
I called best buy after seeing an article that they would carry the nexus 6 and they told me that they were not going to carry it.
Why don't you just get it directly from AT&T website and have it delivered to you? Inventory for the n6 is very weak meeting it's demand right now.

Exactly what he said lol I'm glad no one where I live actually knows about the Nexus 6 or wants one here, So I was able to wait 2 - 3 days and my Local T-Mobile Store still had it for sale.
The problem with BB is that they seem to charge an extra $50 for the phone if you want to pay MSRP for it. When I was looking at the Note 4, they were $50 more than Verizon and refused to price match. Maybe they do that to make up for the no restocking fee.....

Ya, you have to get it from the ATT website as the stores were ordered to send back their shipments. Even if you do get it from ATT you will get some "extras" that you probably don't want from them.

The "extras" can be removed, in my opinion, just get whatever method gets you the phone fastest as you possibly can.

Where did you purchase your T-Mobile Note 4?

Where did you purchase your T-Mobile Note 4?
Would you advice purchasing at T-Mobile's online store or at a nearby store in-person?
Please let me know. Thanks
I always prefer buying at the store because if you have a problem with your phone you can go and exchange it right away, and if you order online you have to wait until you get one shipped to you.
i purchased from costco and was grateful i did. i had problems with two note 4s . both having hardware issues. the second one i had also dropped within the first few hours of having it. costco still took it back with a good deal of unsightly blemishes . the third one has thus far worked perfectly.
Costco
Local T-mobile store, though I didn't get any additional freebies - later I found out they were offering $75 in free accessories which I was not advised of, when I brought it to their attention - I was told it was only valid at the time of purchase. OH WELL. I still love my note 4.

That's not necessarily true.. My parents have good credit and paid a small down payment as well.. I think unless you are top tier in credit your down payment amount depends on your credit score, so if your credit is bad you won't even qualify for a dp lol. In which he obviously qualified so not too shabby
I bought mine through a tmobile corporate store. Local Costco doesn't sell any tmobile phones. Sales person tried to sell me cases and screen protector but I told him no since I was planning to buy from amazon (lower price and better delection). Tried to sell me jump but I also told him no. Went home and got a text saying I have jump. Stupid sales people...

I got the same run around from tmobile for the nexus 6. Went to Costco, and since they don't have the n6, got the note 4 for 0 down and couldn't be happier.
Not necessarily free, they would charge you monthly installments. It would be free when you leave the store, so be grateful. Lol
Another note, one of the store I went to was allowing me to choose unlimited accessories as long as the total added up to $100. I'd get $50 dollars back through my next bill.
You should always get the terms and conditions in writing, otherwise, its bs
