[Q] Buying Galaxy Nexus in San Francisco.

Hi all!
I am looking for a physical store in San Francisco where they sell the Galaxy Nexus or where you believe i can find one from a reliable store. Please i need some quick input as i am just gonna be here for another 3-4 days.
I'm aware of Expansys and internet retailers, but must be a physical store. I've been a Nexus One early adopter.
Thanks.

No store in america has it yet, it hasn't been released at the moment.

My brother is in SF but he will leave saturday... as he is staying in a hotel.. it is a pita and not desirable to ship to a hotel. He said the only way he would think of buying me one was just physical only.
Thanks for the heads up. How much was on handtec? Shipping cost?

it came out to 439.98 GBP including shipping which on tuesday morning worked out to 684.48 USD. Now it would be about 690.94 USD due to conversion rate. I used paypal with my amex. they only have 1 shipping option to USA

Buy it from Expansys, I got mine in three days in the USA.

expansys-usa doesn't have stock though. they were expecting to get stock today but their website shows they are still waiting.
warning -- the handtec fedex shipping label says 'weekday delivery' so i wouldn't count on getting it on saturday

You could try Mobilecity too, they are in NYC. I think they are charging more than US$749 though.

There's a store north of Chicago that has them for > $800. It is unlikely they are the only ones in the country that imported and are reselling at a b&m location.

Anyone had a Galaxy Nexus actually ship from Google Play Store?

I ordered my Galaxy Nexus on Sunday and as of this weekend I still haven't received a shipment notification or tracking number yet my card has been charged already.
I was hoping for Amazon or Apple level service but I guess not. Anyone else who's ordered one recently had it ship yet or is the 2 day shipping they offer only 2 day shipping after 2 days of order processing?

I ordered mine the night it was announced. Got it 2 days later. Ordering on a Sunday is a bad idea. Not only is it the weekend, but they'll have to back process all the other weekend orders as well.
You'll get it. Be patient.

Should got the beam my nexus to me shipping option.
sent from what the heck is this app.

I got mine two days after I ordered. I placed my order on the 24th and it came on the 26th.

I ordered mine Thursday night, didn't receive a "shipped" confirmation until Friday night (a whole day) and it actually didn't ship until this morning.
So you should get a "ship" confirmation sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. It takes a day or two to process. You haven't even waited a day.

Ordered mine on the 24th and it was delivered to me on the 26th..

I ordered mine around 8pm on 4/25 and received it on 4/27. Ordering on Sundays usually delays things a bit.

got mine in 2 days. 2 business days is what theyre promising.

Ordered Tuesday the 26th got it thursday the 28th. It took forever to see the tracking status... well it felt like forever

I got mine 2 days after I ordered.

Ordered mine on Thursday and got it today. If you read the website it takes 4 "business days". So it will probably ship on Tuesday and you will get it Thursday. I'm already rooted rocking aokp on T-Mobile. Bought the same phone on sprint cause I already had sprint, but the network is just atrocious and didn't want to have this awesome phone on their crap network any more. Speeds on T-Mobile are amazing so far.

I was thinking of ordering it from google, but then where I am currently living in (Hong Kong), You can get it at a much cheaper deal by going to a local retail store (fortress). How much did you get your for? I'm going to get mines for around $3000 HKD.
I'm new to XDA!

Is this just not available in Canada or what? I can't find this section in the play store.

That's not very Canadian of you. Apologize at once!
I ordered mine on Saturday, 2AM AST. It would be interesting if I receive it before OP does, since I live in Puerto Rico (note: only difference between mail here and in any of the contiguous 48 states is that the only ground shipping option available would be a diver walking the Atlantic Ocean).
By the way, still haven't even received a shipping notice. That'll hopefully happen tomorrow!

Shipping that they used on my order was 2nd Day Air (UPS), so you should get it flown to PR I'd think

The only way we get mail. Unless, of course, Google decided to train their PigeonRank pigeons to ship packages overseas.... which would still be flown, so nevermind.

Spigen Order

For those who have ordered with Spigen in the past, how long does it take to get the items shipped out? Are they fast to get the items shipped out? The reason I am asking, I placed an order on Friday morning (14th of September) and have yet to have any updates via the tracking #. I also sent them an email, and no answer yet, anyone have a direct phone # to spigen?
I got everything shipped via USPS Expressmail International to Canada, and I have another package shipped from another vendor from within the US, also via express and this one has updates every couple hours.
Sorry if this post isn't in the correct forum, mods please feel free to move it where it belongs if not in this section.
Thanks,
JP

That is quite normal actually. you will not see any updates for a few days, and even when they provide you a tracking number it will only show that it was processed in the local US mail office and that's it. Here is how my order from them went:
-I ordered their galaxy S3 case from spigen.com on Aug 31st.
-I got a shipping confirmation from them on sept 4th
-The USPS.com website only said that it was processed in the local Los Angeles office
-On Sept 14th I got a US international package with my case it.
I live in Calgary in case you were wondering.

Thanks! However, I paid for express, so I am hoping it wont take 14days like your order.
What method of shipping did you use?
JP

Shop from CRETOUCH.com (fyi I'm not a cretouch representative or promoter)
My experience with spigen main site has been nothing but terrible! Slow response and no notification of shipped item has you wondering for days, long refund process etc....
Cretouch is authorized third party dealer. They are really good with customer service and also have live chat so you can get your answers same day! All their items ships out same or next day depends on time and I usually get it within 3 days. Also they offer FREE shipping to US residents unlike Spigen main site.

No way should Express take 2 weeks to Canada. It should arrive within a week of placing your order.

I'm from the southern California area so shipping is much quicker since they're based here, but I also order from them through Amazon. If it's fulfilled by Amazon, you'll usually get your items quicker. Anyways, ordered the neo hybrid lumi and modello cases from Spigen through Amazon yesterday and it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Give Amazon a try if Spigen direct website isn't working out well.

I am really hoping it arrives before Friday. As for xgear, I might be ordering a Spectre Tempered Glass Screen Protector, sent an email this afternoon and within a couple hours I got a reply.

Next time I'll know for sure in case I need to order something again! I'll definitely consider them. I was finally able to get an email back, and if I dont have any news before Friday, I will most likely get a refund, according to SPG...

Their website only had international first as international shipping

I just bought a case from spigen, I live on east coast US. I ordered it direct and got it in 3 days flat with the standard shipping.
I also had an issue with the case and have emailed them and they got back to my email the same day.

Weird... But I know I checked out with United States Postal Service - Express Mail International. Here's the format of my tracking #: EC##########US.
Either way, I'll wait till Friday, as express shipping is 3-5 days to Canada, 5 being the most, and Friday will be 5 days, if I don't have anything I'll ask to get refunded and I'll buy from another vendor.
JP

Been 6 days since I placed my order via expressmail international, which is supposed to take 3-5days, and have yet received anything.
I placed my order early Friday morning (sept 14th) and it was shipped late Monday (sept 17). They dont mention that it takes a couple days to ship out items. I placed an order via bestskinsever on Friday evening, was shipped that same evening and I received it Friday of the next week, also via expressmail.
Anyways, will update when I get my stuff, really wanted it sooner than later.

is a hit and miss, I live in Texas and some times I get their stuff on 3 days sometimes 7 days and one time it took 2 weeks... always standard USPS shipping.

True... I'll see in a couple days! It's just that even the USPS website hasn't been updated since the 18th...

So it seems like it'll be delivered this afternoon... soo much for taking 3-5days! Took more like 9days!

Finally installed the screen protectors, really great quality, however, the neo hybrid case have problems with the volume key... Waiting to be contacted to see what they will do...
Probably the last time I order directly from them, slow answers and what seems like poor customer service, to me at least.
JP

Spigen extremely slow shipping time, customer service is only email and limited.
Called no answer, voice mail always full. Looked at yelp, same thing all complaints about customer service contact, and especially delivery time, and tracking information. Their products are 5 star but their customer service and delivery service is so frustrating I couldn't give them 5 stars. I've gone as far as complaining to the Better Business Bureau, etc. I've called all numbers including the one off my charge card and BBB with no success. Someone needs to hire me to get their A$$ in gear, answer the phones, clear and return voice mails and ship the dam products. OR TELL people up front, our products is so dam good your going to have to get on a waiting list. JUST GET IT DONE OR BE HONEST. Right?

The last time I got a screen protector of theirs it was through eBay. No problems. Fast shipping

This is the first time I've heard of this website. Jennifer Lopez is a backing a Verizon distribution company? Sounds odd. Anyone have experience with them? $100 savings is not bad.

Sold out there and at the 34th St store in Manhattan. Decided to order overnight since I won't have time to setup today and my case/screen protector won't arrive til tomorrow anyways.

Theres also a total of $60 off Verizons website with the coupon codes. You can also select in-store pickup too. I just used it this morning.
Codes: FIFTYRMN saves you 50 and VERIZON30 gets you another 10 I think. I paid 183 with tax and that stupid 30 upgrade fee

You're only able to use one code at a time. VERIZON30 gets you 30% off, so that $60 discount is all from that code.

Question Have you received your phone yet?

Has anyone received their phone from OP yet? I paid for the 2 day shipping on the 23rd, and I still haven't gotten my phone. I checked the tracking, and it just flew in the opposite direction across the country before it's supposed to come back to me.

From France, I've only reserved the phone by paying a 10% advance payment. The rest will be payable between Monday and Wednesday and then I will know about the delivery date

Made it to my FedEx facilities and was supposed to be delivered Friday yesterday and never did. Now saying pending. I have an bad feeling about this.

Yes, here in the US I pre ordered on launch day, and FedEx surprisingly came thru and delivered Friday as scheduled.
Edit: Any questions feel free to ask or pm!

Not here, so far nobody can tell where it is.

Mine shipped from New Jersey, to Tennessee just to have to come back north past New Jersey again to Rhode Island. I'm 3 states north from where it originated

My tracking says:
Estimated delivery date:
Monday, March 29, 2021 by end of day
The delivery date may be updated when FedEx receives the package.

lmao in europe they don't start shipping until march 31

I got mine in Friday. I'm pretty sure all of the phones in the us are going to originate in linden NJ and head to Memphis TN. Memphis is a major fedex hub so they all get sorted there first and then go back out.

Mine should be here Monday. Currently in Memphis, TN (shipped from New Jersey).

Mine is due to arrive on Tuesday, FedEx picked up today.

Yep, both OnePlus website/store app and FedEx confirmed this. First thing this morning I was notified of the label creation (wasn't due to be sent out until March 29) and around lunchtime FedEx scanned it as picked up and in transit.

When I preorder mine, the website said it would be sent out on the 25th. I paid the two day shipping, but my phone was not sent until the 26th. If you look at the Shipment Facts on the Fedex tracking site it says:
SPECIAL HANDLING SECTION​Deliver Weekday
So even though, the package could have been delivered on Saturday to meet the two day shipping, the special handling says tough luck, weekdays only. I received my wireless charger on Friday, along with my case from Amazon though. I am excited to get it, but I'll wait until Monday.

My order just says "Order Outbound"
Guess paying the 10 extra bucks for shipping did absolutely nothing...
Not in a hurry anyway but not impressed with the customer experience. Same story with the 5 other phone I ordered from OnePlus over the years...

I have my stellar black since yesterday. So far it's nice. There is still a problem when scrolling through the Google feed and some social media apps.

same game with Deutsche Telekom. They advertised black color, announced one green, sent it out Friday plus shipping costs for the only option with cash on delivery , it 'arrived' Saturday but DHL put a notification in the mailbox as they are not allowed to accept cash these days....
gladly I live in an area with friendly delivery guys and girls, so after some successful searching for the one transporter containing my package.
So, after a day with it I'll decide to keep it. Next de google, de bloat and finally routing it. To open the bootloader incl. fastboot was the first thing I did, as this steps wipe tge device as we know well.
