Refurbished lapdock questions

Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.

I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.

As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!

I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.

Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.

how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?

175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan

Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.

Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.

$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.

Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

It's great, you won't regret it.

Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

I got mine for $143 also with some coupon code. Had a scratch on the top lid, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Scratch could've come from the shipping US->EU too, not quite sure. Either way, it's worth that price

best place to purchase it

Where's the best place to purchase it? with the cheapest price?
I know negri-electronics has a coupon which brings it down to $685, is that my best bet?

At Negri, I think the "VZsucks" coupon might be over... if so the $35 off coupon is probably still up. That brings it to like $700 ish.
Clove and Handtec are around the same price. Like $685 - $695. They have foreign transaction fees if you buy with most credit cards though.

They'll go through with the coupon. Go for it

Good luck! I became obsessed with this phone quick, it's difficult to say no.

I just bit the bullet and paid the extra cash to get it full retail from Verizon. It only ended up about $721 after taxes. Not the cheapest phone purchase I've ever made, but with flimsy Samsung plastic exteriors I figured I'd rather have a local warranty ready to go.

We GSM users don't have the option. We can't go to Verizon and buy a off-contracted one and pop a AT&T/T-Mobile SIM card in there. It won't work. The CDMA/LTE version is for Verizon only.
It may be plastic but it holds pretty well in the hand and its build quality is pretty good.

Brain fart! I should have realized he was referring to a GSM version.
The phone does feel solid, but I'm hard on my phones and this is one I'll probably hang on to for a good year or so. I also don't believe in ruining a good looking phone with cases or screen protectors, and Verizon's insurance is good about getting a refurb to you the same day if you drop it. I haven't had to use it yet, but, well...

Me.
$675 shipped (US only). Steinheil flex installed + an extra unused film. Case included.
All original accessories and headphones never were used. Phone is in absolute mint condition and you won't be able to tell it from a brand new one. No scratches or dead pixels.
Ordered from Expansys-USA for $750, willing to eat the $75 loss.
Anyone PM me if interested.
Or order, wait and pay more and hope you don't have bad pixels. Up to you.

How to purchase the LG G3 FOR $379.73 off contract with T-Mobile

Based on 6.5% sales taxes.
Unfortunately part of the deal ends today.
This is what I did:
I paid full price for the phone because I am a current customer; $598.80 plus tax.
My total payment in the store was $589.73 after tax because I traded my Nexus 4 for $48.
Next step; called customer service so I could get a credit in to my account of $60, which is the online discount that T-Mobile is offering right now. Tough work but it tuned out fine.
Submitted my claim for the promotional offer in the LG official website where they are giving an $100 Visa prepaid card. Promotion ends today 12/14/2014.
Find out that AT&T was offering $55 for my Nexus 4 trade. Just because of that I will be getting another $50 credited in to my account. T-Mobile courtesy.

I am patient and very cheap lol

You can submit your claim for the $100 prepaid card up to “no later than midnight PST on 1/16/15”. So technically you have until then, because you can always play with the scanner and change dates on the bill.

Can't find the promotional offer

LG website is kinda crappy actually.
Go here http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g3
Once page loads click on promotions, and after that just wait until all the icons from different carriers appears on the right side of screen and pick T-Mobile.
And this is the link to submit your claim, which is what really matters. http://www.acbincentives.com/LGG3holidaypromotion/submit.asp

Thanks for the links. Didn't even know about this offer. Bought my G3 back in October but just fudged my receipt from T-Mo to show that i bought it Nov. 21. We'll see what happens.

I ordered mine online, will I be able to submit a screenshot of my order receipt?

It should work. It worked for me when they had the wall charger and extra battery promotion with an LG G3 that was purchased on a different date period.

So you got no paper bill? Then I guess you will have to use photoshop lol. If you are legit with your date of purchase should not be any problem with the screenshot.

By the way; $13.49! Best deal ever to purchase an original battery. Just got mine today. Was more expensive for a long time. This batteries are original and new but with minor cosmetic damage from factory. Mine came with a very little scratch and a very minimal indentation. From amazon warehouse. Read the reviews!

Unfortunately some reviews are bad because who knows what they got from other sellers. You got peace of mind when is shipped from amazon.

Haha, me too. I purchased my G3 two days past the battery promotion. Changed the date that time on my receipt to two days prior and 5 weeks later I got my extra battery and charger. :good:

Turns out that I got the phone for $17 cheaper than title said. T-Mobile pays you $50 + the difference on the trade price of the competitor. Good to know!

How are you guys changing the date on the sales receipt from the phone?
I think i bought mine in August or October but I'd really like a hundred bucks back lol

anyone?

So has any body actually gotten their $100 Visa gift card yet? Still waiting for mine and I've checked the status of my rebate request through LG and it says approved.
Edit: NVM. I guess it works. Just received my $100 gift card yesterday, finally.

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/12/13262538/samsung-galaxy-note-7-amazon-accessory-refunds
So I just got of the phone with amazon and although you are outside the return period they will give refunds once they have received the products back. So when you contact Amazon choose the "phone call" option as the means to communicate with amazon on the returns.

I did this and they were very helpful. The biggest PITA part was having to box everything up individually based on how it was ordered but free ship back and refunds coming.
When I referenced the Note 7 recall they knew immediately what I was talking about so +1 for Amazon customer service
I did have a rather difficult time finding an actual phone number to call as they want to solve the worlds issues via chat or FAQs.
Here is what I used if anyone else wants it
1-888-280-4331

I used the chat feature and they set up individual returns for each item. I asked to be able to put them all together in one box but it had to be separate.
I realized that they were charging shipping. The rep said he would adjust the refund to credit the shipping fee back as well.

Same here. I have to pay $5 - $6 to refund a $10 case. Not worth the trouble

I got the $2 credit for a case, but one online chat changed all my returns to refund all the shipping.
The trouble was minimal. Print a label, drop the item in an envelope and drop it off.

They sent me prepaid labels. I was told to put all items (4 separate returns in one box) Put 4 separate labels on the box drop off at a USP location. I am doing that today, I will follow up when I get my credits.

Here's what I did.
1)Ask for the labels, explain that these are N7 items and it was out of your control
2) Ship them
3)You'll see that you're charged $6 for shipping
4)Chat with customer service after and ask them refund the shipping charges.
4) They will say yes and you'll get confirmation.
QED.

Wow, this is great to know. Thank you guys. I purchased a glass screen protector that broke trying to get off the phone and I threw it away, I'll probably be out of luck with that one, but maybe I'll ask them about it.

Samsung is going to let me keep the accessories and refund my money. I bought the led case and the clear case from the Samsung website with a coupon I had.
I will most likely sell both cases as a bundle on ebay or craiglist for cheap.

Yeah I used a browser shop.samsung.com took a few tries for payment but I got it

Mobile browser
Note10+

I submitted mine 8/22/19, it was sent the code 8/26/19.
I already won a $129 earbuds for free so I think I will wait for the Watch Active 2 pre-order. I thought they said you get the wireless charging pad with pre-order. The 44mm for $299 looks Bad A$$.

Took a while but I opted for the active. I doubt they'll add the active 2 on the available kits or individual options.

You can use this credit for anything on samsung.com, so if you want to get the active 2 I would cancel your order and wait until it comes out. However it will be much more expensive, about $300.
I was going to wait and use my credit for the active2, mainly for the stress/ s-health monitoring functions since the sensor was removed on the new note, but I got a galaxy fit for almost nothing with my samsung rewards points from samsung pay instead. (I already have an Apple watch S4 and Gear S3 frontier lol)

Yea ivthought about waiting for it but dont wanna pay extra money for it. I have a gear s3 that's all beat up but works but like the screen res on the active. Basically got for under $20 bucks with gift cards and the sammy promo.
Now I'll have an extra one when the other dies.

Did you all order through carriers? Cause I ordered direct from Samsung.com and won't get my credit until 15 days after delivery of my Note 10+ (which was delivered on Aug 21st.

Yes thru carrier.
What I did soon as I got my phone(8/21) went into shop app and registered for credit. Email said allow 6-8 weeks. Turn around was actually less than a week since I got credit email yesterday afternoon.

Dont know why you thought 6-8weeks lol...
Samsung always says that but normally delivers within a week or two.
Same happen with all my promos.
Watch, vr, charger etc...
And got mines yesterday used it for the ear buds and battery.
Was going to use it for the active 2 watch. But with its shipping date being sept 27. I might as well get the free buds then pay full price for the watch later

Sucks u can't get 256 sd card with this.

I pre-ordered through Best Buy [Verizon] (that experience was terrible, btw). I registered and submitted on Sunday and got approved yesterday. Delivery should not take more than a day to process since they should only need to review your proof of purchase. It's just digital credit from Samsung.
