Vivid $130 at Costco

I thought I would take the plunge today and upgrade my phone and found that Costco have the black Vivid at $130 pus their usual pouch and charger kit.
AT&T have it at $200. I walked into my local and they refused to do a price match.
Costco dont have the phone in store but it can be ordered online.

Not as cheap as I expected it. When I upgraded on Black Friday, I was debating whether or not to wait for Costco to carry it in-warehouse, as they give better deals than their online ones. I bought my Vivid for $90 back then... When Costco gets it in-warehouse, I'll hazard a guess that it'll be retailing for anywhere between $70 and $100.

I gave $90 at the AT&T store a few weeks ago, no specials or anything.

Not sure if any of you have a Fry's Electronics near you but when I was there last week they had both the black and white Vivids for $50. I dont know if the price is still the same but its worth checking out.

[Q] Fastest Way to Get One?

Hello everyone,
So I have accidentally spent too much time drooling and reading reviews to pull the trigger to order. But I've decided I need one, and need it immediately (lol, as I'm sure all of you understand).
Question: What's the quickest way to get one? Has anyone ordered super recently and received an immediate shipping/arrival ETA? Or would it be best to go to the store and nab one?
Thanks for your assistance in getting one of these sexy beasts in my paws with a quickness! :highfive:

Try to preorder and get one day service to see if that way you can get it tomorrow or weds
Or just wait until Friday

I ordered the white one last Friday and will receive mine Tuesday with one day air shipping. I'm calling t-mobile today to get credited for my shipping since most people got next day air free. It's best you order a white one if you want it quick Also my first pre-order which was on the first morning of pre-orders was cancelled due to a banking error but the rep promised me I would still get my device early. k.

I pre ordered on 9/30. My shipping label was just created on 10/11/14 and still seems to be sitting in a T-Mobile warehouse someplace because it has yet to be picked up by UPS. This is the first time I've pre ordered a phone from T-Mobile and it will be the last. I always show up at a T-Mobile store on launch day and walk out with a phone by 9:30 AM. As a T-Mobile customer for over 10 years you would think my shipping would be upgraded to 1 day air like a lot of others have. But according to my still up shipped tracking label, it's going UPS Ground.
Rather messed up that T-Mobile wouldn''t honor a first come, first served model. I could in all likely hood pre-order right now and have a device delivered before someone who ordered the day it started.

Same boat as you. Estimated delivery date is Friday.

Did you get tracking yet? I ordered white one Friday as well and they told me it would come in Monday if I did overnight. However, today they said it still hasn't been shipped yet and are not sure when it will now. Shipping was obviously refunded.

There was a loose ear piece grill on mine and Tmo had to order me a new black one today. They charged my card for a new phone with EIP just like the first one and they are shipping it to me overnight for Wed delivery. It's technically a new purchase and the 1st one will be a return.

I pre ordered mine and had it two days later. So I'd say having pre ordered but they will be showing up in stores and with that sweet $200 dollar rebate deal going on it maybe better to get one at bestbuy.

How they get it free? how much was one day air? Cause I preordered mine in stores on 10/10 and come to think about it they never ask what shipping rate I wanted... like when I ask questions about the phone like a week earlier over the phone but anyways if I can get back the shipping that be cool.. but I think they just gave me the standard shipping $6.99... but if I could gotten free shipping...

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - $399

I found this Best Buy page.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...hite/7798007.p?id=1219291425819&skuId=7798007
Went to Walmart and they price matched it for me! Walked out with a new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for $399 and didn't have to wait for black Friday.
The price is down to 379 now. Happy price matching!

hey give me credit please.............you got it from ME on slickdeals

I figured I wasn't the first one to find it. The Internet is a pretty big place

just kidding, glad you got the deal as well.

You got lucky there was an idiot working at Wal-Mart when you asked for the price match. bb price is still 499 for new. The link you posted was for a GSCR which is for a Greek squad certified refurbished unit!

....... Paid 499 for lol! Someone got real lucky!

I was the OP and I got mine right at best buy so it shows not just Walmart can be idiots

Wait so you guys got it at bestbuy or walmart at 399? Brand new?

I got mine at Best Buy for $379.99. I went in and asked for a 16 gig white Tab S 10.5. When he told me the price, I showed him the print out and even the link. He didnt even bat an eye lash. It wasnt until after I posted that it was realized that four letter word stands for refurb. So its a ymmv deal but it also
does not scream refurb anywhere so you might have an argument with management. (refurbs are usually much more clearly labeled) See my receipt here to show what they gave me and the price: http://slickdeals.net/f/7367948-sam...-white-379-better-than-black-friday?t=7367948

Nice, I was curious what Best Buy would do. I was even going to go as far as trying in store pickup but decided to go the Walmart route instead. I didn't know it was for a refurbished unit, the page gives absolutely no information about it.

ill stop by bb today and see if i can get one for 379!!!!
but im still waiting for the dell venue 8 700 !!!!!

I'm one of the guys who got the deal at Walmart. My BB store knew the deal on the tablet...so I took the printed ad to my Walmart and they price matched without hesitation. Brand new for $379!

Your so lucky! I would of wanted one for that price!

Do a search on Ebay.
BestBuy/Geek Squad is selling Refurbished 32 gig Titanium color model for $379 Shipped to you no charge. Bought mine last night.

This deal is rather tempting, but I am also waiting to learn how much the Dell Venue 8 will be and how the Moorefield processor performs in comparison to the Exynos.

Should we have any concern about this being a refurb? I may bite as well at bb.

I do NOT think this is a high enough value product that these are physically repaired units. I tend to think these are just customer returns that have been factory reset, cleaned off, and repackaged. If anyone with real expertise can comment further I'd be curious. Whether customers returned them because they were broken or they just didn't like, hard to know. I think warranty is only 90 days and i don't know if a credit card doubles the warranty on a refurbished product or not. I've bought a moderate number of refurbished electronics before and never had a problem though, and most problems will surface in first 90 days. That said price new is only $20 more next week so savings not big enough to just ify It.

the point is that its one day to get that price and the madness behind it. Also I disagree in that anytime I have bought a refurb from a large company, its usually pristine. GO to cowboom and that is a prime example of taking returns and simply reprocessing them.

It's four days. Many stores have that price and you can order online. No hassle at all. Samsung.com has it for 399$ beginning Sunday and you can pre-order today.

Also if you want to go refurbished, Newegg is cheaper than bb, no sales tax, and includes a one year warranty.

Edge 64GB Pre-Order Delays?

I pre-ordered at my local BB at 10am on the 27th. Went into the store this morning despite not receiving an email to check on it. They informed me that all of the AT&T shipments were late compared to the other carriers and that they had no stock of the 64's yet. I called the three closest AT&T stores around me and the answer was the same -- 32 are in stock, but nobody has any 64.
Anybody else have a similar experience? Has anyone been able to pick up their 64 today?

I plan on doing this in a hour. Pacific time .
If they don't have my 64GB white for ATT that I preordered 3-31, I'll go to the ATT which is in the same parking lot lol.
If ATT doesn't have it, I'll just have to opt for a 128GB of that's available. If neither are available I'll settle for a 32GB....

Nobody had the 128s where I checked as well, but phone shipments certainly aren't equally distributed. If you live in a more suburban area than I do you're likely to have better luck.

Checked all the ATT in the area and none have the 64GB edge , but they do have the regular S6 in 64. Going to opt for the regular most likely...

oh boy I sense ATT getting heat if all the Platinum/Gold Pre-Orders that were said to be shipped out around the 24th which are now being shipped recieve there Edge before all the black ones who were promiced by the 10th. Kind of glad I ordered the platinum Gold one.

I can add to the BS.
Aside from the shipment being late at my BB, their system couldn't do my trade-in/up on my old iPhone, it wouldn't accept the SKU. So eventually they call up AT&T, no go. I call AT&T and they proceed to tell me that Best Buy does not have the capability to do a trade-in.
That's right, AT&T claimed that Best Buy cannot do a @#$% trade-in.
So I fought with them some more, and they had me do the pay-up over the phone with them. Still, the sale wouldn't work. They call AT&T again, AT&T says "oh if you do trade-in it can take 24 hours for it to process".
Because, you know, NO ONE ever walks into a store to trade-in their phone and walk out with a new one.
Sensing some BS, I call them again. They then proceed to tell ME that, oh no, the payment processed just fine, it's that BEST BUY has a bad system but hey if you place your order with me and give me the sale I can do it right now and put it in the mail for ya this afternoon. No thanks, I just had Jason here struggle for about 95 minutes trying to make this order happen, I'm not letting you guys just throttle BB's ability to make sales just because you want to force people to buy directly through you.
It was really insane. AT&T seemed to just REFUSE to let Best Buy sell me the phone, their story repeatedly changed as to why it wasn't working, but I don't think they realized I was standing there with the sales reps and had actually seen other people do trade-ins. I eventually got it, but MAN it was a fight.

Wow. All for the commision.

I placed my pre-order on the 3rd of April, BB.com, and I received it in store on the 10th, AT&T black sapphire 64GB and got the free wireless charger pad.

No 64GB Edge models in SLC yet
Same issue here in Salt Lake City. I was told I was the first to pre-order the white Edge 64GB AT&T version. I also ordered a standard S6 32GB in black. I got the notification Friday morning on the black one, but nothing on mine. I waited until 4pm and then just went to the store. After waiting an hour to be helped, I was told I could not leave with the black one unactivated (it's for my nephew out of state and is a surprise graduation gift), and that no 64GB white Edge phones arrived at all. They had no idea when they might get them. So I left empty handed and extremely annoyed, even though the BB staff was apologetic and offered to hold the wireless charging pad for my nephew's phone even though I theoretically wouldn't pick it up for two months.
I checked a few AT&T stores, but they didn't get any 64GB Edge models at all either. I was told only those who preordered directly through AT&T online and had their phones shipped to them got the 64GB version, at least in my area. The AT&T stores could also not tell me when they might be in stock, but suggested I order online and could get one in as little as one business day. I do see they are shipping and just had a live chat with an AT&T rep online who told me white 64GB Edge models were ready to ship to customers.
I still haven't gotten any communication from Best Buy on my phone - not even the "sorry for the delay" email some are reporting. And yes, I've checked spam. I think I'll be ordering from AT&T online tonight.

Gave up - AT&T order coming tomorrow
I gave up on Best Buy and ordered my 64GB white Edge from AT&T online today with expedited shipping. Just got the notification that it's being delivered tomorrow!

I gave up on my Bestbuy preorder also. I preordered a white 64GB S6. Got an email on the 10th about a delay. I cancelled yesterday and ordered the 64GB Platinum / Gold S6 Edge from AT&T.

Ordered my 64GB Gold Platinum Edge yesterday, order status says it's "Preparing for shipment". I have the same 4/24-4/27 estimated ship date as well but the guy who helped me at my AT&T store said it'd be delivered in 3-5 Days. I've heard people getting theirs way sooner than the estimated ship date and I'm wondering if that's just applying to a certain model, or all of them.

Very good device, i love it

Well that sucks, must be in bigger cities? I walked into a Best Buy just to look at one on 4/12 thinking I wasn't eligible for a few more weeks, ended up walking out with a 'black' 64gb edge. But it had problems, had a bunch of what looked like waves on the underside of the glass (mfg defect?). Went back in last Thursday and swapped for another one in stock (no issues).

We bought a white and black 64gb edge. My wife's black one had a bubble under the LCD. While I was having mine wrapped at Clear Coat we noticed it. We took it back to the store and had it swapped out only to see a line of waves under the screen. They wouldn't swap it for another one abs told us we had to contact Samsung directly .

S6 Edge Gold Platinum 64GB Shipping ATT

Just got my shipping confirmation. Should get it by Tuesday Fedex.

Yay Just got shipment Confirmation for my Galaxy s6 Edge Gold 64Gb, Though mine says wednesday so excited.
But I got UPS... odd is it like random roulette with this company on who they ship with.

I got my tracking info as well. Tuesday delivery via fedex

64gb Gold Platinum shipping too
I received my text yesterday saying mine is shipping USPS for Monday delivery.

Received my confirmation for Monday (today) as well by USPS.

Mind me asking what day did all of you order it? I preordered mine online on the 9th of April. Haven't received a notification yet...

I put my order back in March 27.

Ordered mine on March 27th

what luck..I ordered mine on the 9th and it has also shipped out by fedex! will be here wed!

yah put my order in on the first getting wednesday. I'm thinking that they just put the vastly later date so people wouldn't clamor to them thinking they needed 2 week instead of 5 days to push people away from the gold and to the black/whites.

Ya my wife's gold 64gb shipped today but did orginally say 2-3 weeks out

Mines still show 4/25 to 4/27 as the ship date. When I put in the order, it said it'll ship 2-4 days after being processed. So when I got the text saying it's been "processed*, but it'll take until the end of the month to ship. I gave AT&T a call about it and got them to waive my upgrade fee. Lol I'm still hoping it ships out soon.

Yay Just got my phone from the Ups guy, phone showed in excellent condition, no scratches no faults that I can notice. home button was a bit stiff but seems to have worked its self out. now have it in nice Crystal clear case and it looks awesome with the Avengers theme, for the gold one the Iron man goes real well. although the earbuds that came with it were crap didn't work..... and yes checked with other headphones to make sure it wasn't the phone.

Received mine today! Ordered 4/10, received 4/15. Screen looks flawless. This color is amazing.

Indeed the platinum/gold Color is quite amazing, its quite a beauty wonder how my coworkers gonna respond when they see me with it.

i show it to this guy at work, he said "wow. that' fancy". haha
and to this girl, she said "is that iphone 6 ?". WTF, not everything with a touchscreen is a iphone !

got to show it off at work today. Alot said wow fancy or something similer, Couple of the i6 users were flabbergasted by the camera performance and screen, may have converted one.

Let's see pics of the phone

Ordered mine 8:30 last night and will be here Monday. Went ahead and chaned shipping to hold at FedEx location....... Picking it up tomorrow after 10am.

Are you serious? I ordered mines last week. I got an email after the order was processed and said it's going to ship out at the end of the month!
