Returning your phone @ Radio Shack because of the bootloader? - HTC EVO 3D

If you bought your EVO 3D at Radio Shack on launch day (06/24), You have until tomorrow to return it.
In case you did not know Radio Shack has a 14 day return policy(scroll to the bottom) on cell phones and or contracts.
Sprints 30 return policy does not apply here

radio shack receipt

*waits for nate420's head to explode*

Each store must have their own policy...I even remember explicitly asking if there was a 30 day policy, and they said yes...and the chicks that work there are buddys of mine. I can even return up to 30 days after the original sale to trade in my evo for $158.... my paperwork all states 30 days, new service or upgrade.

No problem, but, to be safe I would still investigate your own receipt. It might be a regional thing or perhaps on a store-by-store basis...and that websites verbiage seems like pretty srs bsns. But I trust the gals at my local Radioshack a little more than a sternly worded website.

I too was told 30 days when I purchased it. I have the reciept somewhere, but I'm not going out of my way to find it since I have no intention if taking it back anyway. Yes, I'd like to be able to root, but even unrooted this phone is alot better than the 4G, IMO.

The shack told me 30 days also

I put this order in on the 17th
I just want my phone
Seems like a shortage/backordered/out of stock!
Uhh oh.... looks likevyou might be waiting longer than you hoped..... i hope im wrong tho.. good luck bro
Sent from my HTC Evo
well, i just cancelled my wirefly order yesterday, so maybe that'll help u along
I have gone through sprint and mine still says "Order in progress".
Makes me kinda worried.
hahah.... no shortage? r-i-g-h-t...
also used wirefly for my pre-order...ughh!

Exactly...there are also claims of backorders in this thread!
Amazon is showing backorders also. I got mine from Sprint.. but they have yet to call me to make an appointment to pick it up :/
Ya know, I went through Wirefly fully expecting this to happen, but since I got it for $130, while keeping my EVO (giving to the wife), I can wait a few days to save a few $$$.
^^I didn't order mine fast enough, so I paid $180 for the phone and $20 for next day shipping. I might cancel my goddamn order if they don't get their sH#! together.
Sent an email bombarding them with questions; will post response.
It just means they are waiting till the 24th to start shipping. Since the phone does not come out till then. They have no inventory of it to ship.
I just called sprint and they stated that there are plenty of 3VO's at telesales. It may cost you more but you will get it at least.

That's my understanding as well.
I ordered online with Radio Shack, and I have the same screen. I called them up, and they said they are not yet authorized to ship.
I'm in black, rep in red.
I didn't waste any time, i order mine yesterday morning (6/21) from Sprint for $199 and it arrived today.

$130. How?
I'm gonna guess 179.99 and 50 cashback if using BofA add it up. I did the same thing and I had my order since the 6th. I'm sitting here checking my email at least ten times a day waiting for this thing to be shipped already. This can drive a sane man nuts I tell ya!!

Amazon does show it back ordered on the Add To Cart screen, but when you're ready to pay for it the delivery date is June 28th. That's right on spot with their free 2-day shipping.
That's where I ordered mine from this morning.

Most likely bank of america add it up cash back ($50). $180-$50 = 130.
You get $50 in 6-8 weeks if you order it through the add it up website. Wasn't worth the hassle and you can't switch the phone to a different line on your account for the 1st six months or you get charged like $350.

Pre-Order may not ship after the 18th

Just got off the phone with sprint and there now telling me that they had an issue with HTC and the pre-order phones may ship tell the 18th. She said as of right now they did not have any in the warehouse.
Oh no!!!!!!!!!! (panic) why oh why now what will we all do... (speculate) im sure this sprint rep is sitting outside the warehouse counting units..... Troll

nope not troll. The rep i had was a supervisor. i work out of town as a paramedic and i'm gone two weeks at a time. i spent 45min on the phone with them because they were trying to see if they could just ship it to me at work. but when she called the warehouse to find out that when she told me about the issue with HTC.
they aren't gonna release nationally and not ship pre-orders first, i'm not worried... once again the initial shipping date was the 15th before they chamged the words up

well i'm trying to start a fight just posting what they told me.
Sprint didn't just receive all the evos 2 days before they're to ship, cmon, I'm not even saying this dummy on the phone didn't tell you that story. I have never gotten any real info from a sprint rep... They have about as much inside info as me. I know anyone on this forum knows more about these phones than them. They work off of scripts.... She probably just didn't want to help you, what a surprise, I'm sure no ine else has called this week to change an order...... Relax it will be there Wednesday worst case Thursday

i think you forgot to add the *NOT in there, all I'm saying is history shown that sprint reps or almost any other reps are clueless to what really going on, I was just in a sprint chat with a rep 2 days ago and he initially told me that there hasn't been a release date announced for the LTE yet... so I had to link him to the sprint press release, they know nothing most times, we most times know more than them. so i trust that we'll get it before the 18th

I agree^^^^^ Sprint reps know nothing. I always know more about their phones and specs than they do. Its pretty sad but true. So I dont trust what they got say 100% of the time.
I am sure the stores have them on the shelf now they just can't sell them to the 18th.
Locked....no need for this many pre-order threads guys. If you have info post in one of the others...

instore preorder process sucks

I really hate that verizon told me that they were shipping my phone to me via fed ex even though I went into the store to preorder. I now have to wait for fed ex to drop it off so I am on their time until it arrives. why have a store that just makes me order it the same way I can do it myself. I would much rather have the phone in my hands at 8am when they open on wednesday morning not 2pm when the fed ex driver gets done eating lunch.
other things that irritated me about the preorder experience.
1. they dont accept Cash
2. they tried to make me sign the ipad for my receipt... I made them print me one and give me a pen (just to be a prick more than anything)
3. $30 upgrade fee? wtf is that... once I get the phone I'm going to call and get that removed since its a bogus charge for a 13year VZW customer... you dont even need to call and activate anymore all I need to do is swap my sim from my nexus and put it in the DNA so I'll ask them what the $30 covers cause its not VZW store employees who are accepting my order and helping me "activate" or set up my phone which they shipped to my house.
did anyone else preorder instore? or did everyone else order online?
I'm not sure why you would pre-order today as you won't get it for 2 days, if you wanted to pick it up at 8AM in store why didn't you just wait until tomorrow and go in and get it? I never heard of anyone pre-ordering in store.
Also, Verizon has been charging the $30 upgrade fee for a while now, but only if you buy it subsidized.
I preordered last week on Wednesday... I always do it in store cause I always upgrade a different line than my data line... Call me old fashioned but every once in a while I like to interact with other people and not a computer.

sucks. That's why I didn't bother to pre-order. I'm just going to go when they open at 8 tomorrow.
I pre-ordered it last wednesday as well. Still no update. :/
My tracking just updated... I might get it today if it comes before work... No one knows about this phone other than people who follow android so I doubt you will have a problem walking in and getting it.

Best news I've seen all day.
You don't have to go by FedEx time. Have them hold it at the station so you can go pick it up when they open.

I'm the same way, I always go to the store to order new phones and accessories.
My question though was why you drove to the store to pre-order it when you could have just driven there tomorrow morning instead and know that you can just pick it up then and there.

$25 google play credit :D

well another reason HTC is awesome.
http://us.htc.com/googleplay/
all you do is register your device and they give you $25 google play credit.
however they say it takes 2-4 weeks for them to get you the code to redeem.
i did it last night il get back to you guys when i get my code!
extra info, Yea there is a purchase date restriction apparently :C
"Offer valid only on new HTC One devices purchased and activated in the U.S. between 6/14/13 – 7/30/13"
thats straight from the "fine print" on the htc page for registering.

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
There's a big thread on this in the intrnl forums and it seems kind of hit or miss, some people who bought within the period never got their code and some people who bought a month before the period did get theirs. So give it a whirl, but don't hold your breath
Registered two phones 3 weeks ago.
Crickets.
I got my phone on June 15th and registered like a week later and got my code 48 hrs later.
If my mind serves right they had time of purchase restrictions.

Same here. Got my One during launch week, registered for the code about three weeks ago, and got the code last week.

I signed up a few days ago. Kinda sucks having to wait for them to confirm your handset the way they do... But whatever, I'll be happy as long as I get it.
I am still unsure about the money I'm supposed to get back for sending in an old handset. Do they come as a pre-paid visa from clover wireless?

Yes, it's a $100 prepaid VISA card. From what I've read, they are SUPER behind. You can check your status online using the tracking # they sent you. The rewards issued estimate date they give is over a month behind. People who sent their rebates in early May and were quoted to receive their rebate at early June just got their rebate this week.
Cool thanks I wasnt sure. I've been bombarded with credit card offers lately s_s

the discount is for buying the phone online, I just purchased one 150.00 +tax and waiting for dilvery
I did the One Up promotion. The phone was 600, and the tax was 50. I had to pay the 50 upfront. The phone price will be financed into my plan, which is 80 a month for two years. They make you start out with insurance, but you can cancel it later. I also get a $10 discount having had an old SERO account, so this works out for me. I have the option of trading my phone in for a new one in a year (provided the phone isn't banged up) if I want. To start the program, I had to give them my old phone, but when I asked them if it could be any phone, they said yes. I went back home, dug out my Hitachi G1000 (which is about the same length and width of the Max) and took it to the store. I was able to keep my Evo 4G LTE as a backup.

They told me I can call and turn it off... I'm waiting until I get a case. I was jumping around the other day, and it fell out my back pocket!
ahh the G1000...
the phone that kicked off the big phone phase! I love that phone and still have it.
I opted to just pay full price and maybe wait until these new plans settle a bit and I hear more reviews form long term users and maybe I will jump on it with the next HTC phone...
good stuff and thank you for the info....

Fortunately, no. I had it in my back pocket, because I was dancing with people. A song came on that had some jumping, and it fell right out. I didn't even feel it. Fortunately, someone let me know. I am keeping it in a large wallet/folio thing I already have until my case comes in.
