Pre-Orders Now Open on Expansys (USA)

Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.
Additionally, you can use MrRebates.com to get 2% cash-back.

Thanks for the heads up. But it doesn't tell me if they will charge me sales tax in California. If I don't know this then it's not worth pre-ordering through them. Can anyone tell me if they do based on past experience?

From the website:
1.5 Sales tax is also charged on all shipping charges for orders delivered in Illinois.

They don't charge you until you accept the cost once they get their shipment. No risk just pre-ordering and finding out if there's sales tax later

is there any benefit buying this from Expansys vs the Play store besides that you can pre order right now?

Looks like this is for the 8gb model, do they have pre-orders up for the 16gb model?

I ordered my Galaxy Nexus from them a few months ago. Wasn't charged tax or shipping to California on, at that time, a $400 purchase.

Oh wow! I live in California as well.
So no tax and free shipping correct?
How long did it take for you to get your phone from your previous order?
Very curious, as I might order from Expansys

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Just weary of putting my bank info out there if I don't have to so I like to know its a sure thing before pre-ordering.
Also want to make sure this comes with a U.S. 1-year warranty from Google. I'm used to Expansys being the place you order foreign phones from and if anything goes wrong you have to ship them over to Europe or whatnot to get them fixed

What do you guys think about the price on Expansys? Will it be much bigger than 300usd compare to the Google Store? If not, I would order it from EU.

Yeah, my order came out to no tax and no charge for shipping.
Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, was ready to ship by Saturday and got it 4 days later in a small box on my doorstep via FedEx Ground.
Great phone, but looking forward to the Nexus 4 and considering ordering it from them again to save on shipping/tax to California. Plus cash back is available at various sites.

Sounds Great, looks like I'll most likely be ordering from Expansys.
Just going to see what a few other pre-order sites have to offer.

none of the links work for expansys...

Product removed.

Wanted to order from there, they accept intl' ordering and credit cards... (I'm sending to the US)
Did anyone checked the price before it was removed?

[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...

looks like they fixed it already.

Yea, every blog and forum it was mentioned at, has replies today, that the codes no longer work. Glad I got in.
I was wondering if perhaps the rumors of a new Moto 360 were fueling the temporary deal?

Maybe LG offered T-Mobile a discount on a shipment of the "R".

I was stupid last night and waited because I called AT&T and they told me I could use my 25% off discount for it in the store. I go to the store today and they are like sorry that's not covered as an eligible item. I am going to hassle them until I get the discounted price now.

25% off 300 is only 75, which is not as good at the T-Mobile deal was. Just doing the math, you had no reason to let AT&T cause you to pause.

yea I was looking at no shipping and getting it that morning in the store.

I received a confirmation e-mail from T-Mobile today. And they said they have charged me for the order. It should arrive in less than a week Of course, the Thanksgiving Holiday may delay that a little bit.
Amazing to catch such a deal so shortly after its release here in the USA.

Called my Best Buy. They said AT&T withheld their shipment and that's all they could tell me.
Update: they called. They have it now

Called my store. Told their are still expecting their shipment from AT&T. Store is also a Samsung Experience store.

I just picked mine up from best buy. I was there before the email notice. They were like we just got them in for At&t.

i'm in southern CA; haven't gotten an e-mail or a phone call regarding my pre-order. pre-ordered on the 28th but got the e-mail confirmations a few days later.

Picked mine up yesterday took 1 hour 40 minutes from the time I put my name on stupid waiting list to walk out. Will only return to Best Buy to spend my rewards then will go to all lengths to avoid giving them business ever again.

Did not preorder, walked in and asked for 32gb ATT, only had white, bought full price and working on crickett flawlessly.

That was not a no sales tax promo, that was just the 50 dollars you paid to preorder it going towards your sales tax.

Total nonsense. My sales tax rate is 8.5%. 784.99 x 8.5% would be $66.72. My total bill was ZERO.
Therefore with $50 preorder deposit I would still owe $16.72.
Even the CSR admitted they had a non advertised promo of no sales tax.

Tmobile online now taking orders

Go to tmobile website and put gear vr in search box and click on gear vr option and order it for 99.99. They did not even advertise that it was available for order. I just ordered mine. I'm thinking first come first serve hopefully, it's sold out everywhere else and tmobile told everyone that they wasn't taking orders till November 27 so order asap.

Awesome. My order does not even say "shipped" from T-Mobile...it just says "Being Processed" which makes me a little concerned that maybe they got a ton of orders and I won't be getting one any time soon. We'll see.
Did you pick regular shipping, or did you pay for next day shipping? I picked the free 2-4 day shipping.
I noticed that the Gear VR is now listed as out of stock the T-Mobile's website.

I picked next day overnight because the lady offered it for free, so why not? LOL.
Then, the next day (sat) I made a follow up, and for the inconvenience, they gave me a $30. credit!
On top of that, I complained to Best Buy last week because when I went to the store to get more information on the unit, none of the Samsung reps knew anything about it, or would make any effort to look into it in the computer. 3 different reps gave me 3 different "possible" dates.... I say "Possible" because they didn't want to bother looking at the computer. All I wanted to do was place an order in store if possible because I prefer to have my CC scanned in person and not have the number sent off to cyberspace.... all they had to do was take my money and they didn't want to, so I said screw it and called corporate and complained (took 5 minutes) and they sent me a $25. gift card LOL. So, essentially this thing will cost me about $45. in the end.

Mine is still being processed as well, now it's back available for ordering when it said out of stock last night...this tells me there system is screwing up so we may not have anything shipping anytime soon ...chatting now with tmobile specialist...will fill u guys in

I did online chat with T-Mobile earlier today, and they assured me I should have it in 24-48 hours, but I am still feeling skeptical. When I look at T-Mobile's website it is still showing as out of stock for me.

Nope...still no shipping notification. The online chat people are useless too. They just keep telling me I should receive it by the end of the week (i.e 2-4 business days)...but since I ordered it on Saturday, you would think it would have shipped yesterday. That leads me to believe T-Mobile F'd this one up.

Wish I did one day shipping now...maybe it would have helped...but Samsung USA online store said they will be shipping back orders on 30th...I have one with them too...so if both come I will sell one for double on eBay

Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. They sadly just confirmed that it is backordered with no anticipated ship date. What a crock.
The girl said they can get shipments on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that really doesn't help at all.
What a bunch of BS.
