[Q] Returning a phone to another store? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

My Atrix' digitizer is starting to go bad again, and I just might have to jump and get my S3 early. I was at least planning on waiting for another batch of S3's from Samsung -
I know we have 30 days to return a phone to a store, but I will be away from the island 21 out of those 30 days. Can I return a phone to another store in California if I bought it in Illinois?

As long as it's an actual AT&T corporate store, you're fine.

as long as its a corporate owned store you buy it from.

ugh, yes. I keep forgetting that some "authorized retailers" aren't complete scam artists and assholes, and some people might actually buy from them.
So yes, if you buy from a corporate store, you can return to any corporate store.

preordered my evo 3d w/ sprint several weeks ago, but wont be getting it till Monday

well, I preordered my evo 3d w/ a sprint store several weeks ago, but wont be getting it till Monday. I am number four on the list but they are only getting two tomorrow. grrrrrr.....
you guys got ne ideas on how I can still get one tomorrow? I know most of the preorders are soaked up already though...
Call or go buy all your local Best Buys, Radio Shacks, Walmarts, Targets, authorized retailers, Sprint tele-sales, etc.

Be waiting at the store before it opens in the morning, so you're the first one through the door when it opens. They operate on a first-come basis ... they can't prevent you from picking up your phone if you're the first one who shows up with proof of pre-ordering.
My guess is that HTC learned their lesson from the OG Evo... you should almost undoubtedly be able to walk into any other authorized retailer tomorrow and pick one up unless you live in the middle of nowhere.
All of the stores I have contacted about accessories in my area have told me they will have more than enough stock of the phones to satisfy pre-orders and walk-ins.

if only I could... I have to work tomorrow and wont be able to pick it up until 3 or 4 pm....
if you did the giftcard deal from sprint, you can use the giftcard at any corporate sprint store, maybe worth camping out at a larger one and see if you luck out and they have some and you can still apply it towards that?

not true, when the PRE came out, we had a list, and we HAD to hold the phone for I believe...24 or 48 hours for the person's in priority of the list (corporate sprint atleast)
good news is tho that some people actually didn't come and pick theres up, bad news is it still took a couple days to release them.
good news is my manager was a **** and he started selling the hold overs that night rofl.

lol... yeah i think that's the deal at my sprint store. but thanks to the ideas posted by you guys.....
i called my local radio shack, the manager said be there 15 mins before open and he will hook me up. guaranteed. He said I have to cancel the sprint preorder though (feel guilty doing this because I really like the store I preordered it from)...
next question though, can I not trade in my evo 4g at radio shack and still go bring it to a sprint store for the $150 credit?
you can trade in your phone to a corporate store at any time and get the money for it, you don't need to be purchasing anything at the time.

is a corporate store any Sprint store that is only Sprint? Obviously it's not those guys at a kiosk in the mall... but a typical Sprint store should do right? Or do I need to find a special one?
Go to Radio Shack.
I just canceled my best buy order due to their bs.

yeah, the manager at RS hooked me up. he said be there by 8:45 and he will let me in before the doors open.
but just to reiterate... a sprint "corporate" store is just an officially branded Sprint store, right? like, are there non-corporate official Sprint stores? (not including the mall kiosks and the like)

That's why I ordered mine from a Sprint Corporate Store.
Starting to get annoyed at my local store. It is a partner store, so they said they were opening at 10. My brother ordered his and they told him 8. Today a buddy preordered and they said they will be open "by 10".
I guess I will drive past it and see if it is open at 8, if not I will go back a few hours later. In the meantime I can pick up some bagels for my wonderfully understanding wife
I preordered from a corporate store but they've yet to call me about picking up my pre-order tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I was one of, if not the first, for that store to pre-order. I hope they haven't forgotten about my pre-order.
Got mine from wirefly. New contract. Left T-Mobile after 7 years. Feels great.
Got a tracking number this morning.

Exchange?

I bought my skyrocket January 20th will I be able to exchange it for the galaxy note when it comes out?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
According to AT&T's policy you have 30 days to make up your mind on the phone. But since the Note isn't available yet you might have to return it and wait a few days.
So if I wait until the 19th will it be to late?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I would personally return it now. Feb 19th is your 30th day (31 in jan) and inventory could be limited. Ive heard some horror stories of carrier stores not exchanging for a new phone on launch day and they cited some BS excuse that they claimed is in some random piece of documentation allowing them to deny you an exchange on launch. I have a concession line at an ATT corporate store and I know I am not allowed to get it on launch just because "the manager said so"
Ok thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
If you still have the phone you had before your skyrocket, you could just return the skyrocket and pre-order the Note in-store and just use the old phone until the Note comes out on the 19th. That way you guarantee you get in before your 30 days are up.
I ask the guy that works there and he said I couldn't preorder it in store

This is exactly why I don't buy any phones from these stores. I call AT&T and order the phone through a rep. When you buy directly from AT&T you can always speak to a manager or someone other than an store employee. I've had no problem doing it this way and I know several people who got screwed dealing with those AT&T Corp Stores.
Refer to the thread where the phone could not be found in our system.
Yes, it can be preordered in cor stores, but there have been issues with the phone not being found in OPUS.
Today it appears to be working.
Escalate your problem to the manager and he or she will more lonely likely know what to do. I had the same problem with getting a skyrocket on the 24the and wanted to return it for the note and the employees did not know what to do. The manager was within ear shot and was able to remedy the problem.
edit for spelling*** still getting use to swyping on the 7.7.

Corp Stores
I don't know what corp stores you go to but the one by me is great (although I didn't preorder with them so I could get free case from Best Buy) I was going to get the HTC Vivid a few months back talking to a Store rep he wanted to know what I was looking for in the phone and suggested I wait for the Galaxy Note I stopped in every now and then and he updated me on what he knew was comming he even let me know about the free case from best buy and said he would match that for me on preorder if they were getting the same one but on the 4th he didn't think they were getting the same one I went to Best Buy and preordered but the service I get in the Corp Store is awesome they keep up on rumors and new phones software and inform me alot of the time.

I'm not saying they are all bad (corp stores) but most of them are. Especially the ones by me. Every time I go into one of them Corp AT&T stores none of them seem knowledgeable about new products, they are rushing me to buy a phone I don't want, their prices are a lot higher than going through AT&T website and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Not to mention I feel like I'm wasting their time when I come in just to take a look. I hate those effen stores and I don't want to give them any business.
Some of my friends and family tried to return phones to them and got a ridiculous run around. I don't have time for their BS. I've returned several phones to AT&T directly without issue. I returned a returned a Fuze that I used for several months and got a Tilt 2. Try getting the same courtesy from one of those Corp Stores.
I personally feel more comfortable dealing with AT&T directly.

store availability date

i bought a samsung gs3 on nov. 8th. couple days later heard about the dna (i don't know how i missed it). i have 14 days to return or exchange and what not. i went to the store a couple times asking about exchanging it for the dna since the preorder is available and the store date is nov. 21st putting me right in the window. first guy said he would have to find out how to do it since it was a new line also and would call me that day but never did call me. then tonight i went back and explained everything and she called him and he said oh you wouldn't like it, the gs3 is much nicer, and he got to play with it and the battery was awful, it would be a real headache for you to exchange it. i said i still wanted it and they said we checked the warehouse and they don't have any yet and we won't have them until the end of the month. saying things to convince me i don't want to do it.
this all sounds more like they just don't want to do it and don't what to end up with a return. i told them people have received shipping notifications, they replied with that's probably not what they meant, they wouldn't be shipping already.
is there a confirmed store date on these? i wanted one before just because i wanted one but now i want one with the added spite of sticking them with a return.
Everything I heard points to the 21st. Verizon said on their site that they will start shipping the DNA's on the 19th, and with the two day shipping they will also arrive on the 21st. You can exchange your phone until the 22nd, so you should be fine.
Yup, it's officially the 21st. I'm guessing they are getting paid more commission to sell off a lot of the GS3s before the DNAs start selling, or they lose it if you try to switch (or don't want to do the work).

I am thinking the same...I made an internet order this morning and it shipped out around noon for delivery on the 21st.
I certainly hope so. I'm planning on swinging around to my local store after work on Friday in hope that they'll have some on hand. The reps at my store don't know anything when it comes to dates except one guy, but he's hardly there anymore.
I can say that they showed up for store ordering today so you should be able to pick it up in a store soon... if I were you I would just return it to the gs3 to the store you got it from and then get it somewhere else since those guys are assholes...

I have some stupid verizon stores in my area because none of them could give me an update and one lady didn't even know what it was.
WTF!!!
At the announcement of the DNA official spokesmen said it was being released on the 21st. There's no question it will be.
Threaten to cancel the line and return the S3. They will balk. Wife didn't like the I phone 4 when switching to Verizon, they wanted to charge a restock fee and told me how much she would hate android, blah blah, blah. Told them fine. Cancel the line, I'll return the phone, pay the fee and open a new line online through Amazon and get my phone through them since they were being difficult. Walked out of the store with the thunderbolt and didn't pay a dime extra (was a hundred more than iphone at the time). They don't want to lose commissions. Also, try to never shop at authorized dealers. Stick to corporate stores.

They are BSing you Ask to talk to the store manager or supervisor.If they won't help call VZW customer service. They have always helped me..
i had no idea this place wasn't a corporate store. they only sell verizon and have nothing but verizon signs and whatnot. i got real hot when i found that out.
I second the "only shop at a corporate store". Seriously, only suckers wander into the "authorized retailers". You can spot them by looking at the signs. It'll say really small under the Giant Verizon banner like "USA wireless or GO wireless or John Doe wireless, Authorized Retailer". I've never stepped foot in one except when I needed a charger in an emergency. They charged me like $30. Yeah, screw them. The corporate stores can handle all customer service needs, and the staff is always more knowledgeable and helpful.
Authorized Retailers aren't always good with customer service or phone problems. I'd only use a select few places for getting a phone besides Verizon (Amazon, Best Buy, etc). There is a place near me that has no signs except "Verizon" with "Authorized Retailer" underneath. People probably don't realize they aren't the same as Verizon corporate stores.
I would return the phone and get the DNA from a corporate store.
Stopped by my local store today, and surprise, they told me they couldn't sell me a DNA because it would be off contract and they would only have enough for the new people to buy if they had any at all.

called my verizon store today and they said they had will have them tomorrow for sale, so I will just pick it up before work tomorrow. I honestly don't think they get shipment until evening the night before because I called earlier and she told me to call back in a few hours towards evening and then they will be sure if they will have them tomorrow. Called just now and they indeed said they will have them tomorrow.

Called another corporate store, both confirmed stock for me and the second one also confirmed they had them in stock and will sell them tomorrow. So you guys shouldn't have trouble getting them at your local corporate store.
after a short conversation with veriszon customer service got things worked out.
the gs3 had to be returned to the store i bought it at and that store would not be getting the phone on the 21st. to save my number verizon did a equipment swap and put my number on a old phone. then told me to return the phone and buy it at a corporate store on the 21st. i still get to buy it at the discounted price and keep my number,

[Q] verizon and dna question

I bought htc dna online from verizonwireless.com. When I called verizon customer service about returning this and getting a galaxy s3 I got 2 different answers
Rep1 : I have to ship this phone back. Wait until the phone goes back and then order a new phone online or in-store
Rep2: Goto the store and return htc and get samsung.
Do you all know who is right ?
If rep1 is right it looks like I will be without a phone for few days.
What is the best way to get a different phone and keep the same phone number.
Thanks
I don't see why you couldn't return it in store. I have bought accessories (never a phone, though) on the VZW site and returned them in store numerous times so why should a phone be any different?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW
both seem to be right. Go to the store so you can just exchange it on the spot rather than have to wait for it to reach them then get a new one.
Yeah you can bring back a phone you bought online to a brick and mortar. Just make sure its a corporate store and be prepared to pay a restocking fee that they probably won't waive. I've done it several times with no problem.

In-Store Experiences

Who else picked up their Note II in a brick and mortar store? Did you get there before the store opened? Were a lot of people waiting for or discussing the phone?
I got to my local Verizon store a few minutes before it opened. There was already a guy waiting there, so I asked him if he was waiting for the same thing I was... and he was. We talked about the features for a bit and then got let into the store. I got the Titanium Grey model. The store manager did my transaction... when he went back to get the phone, he brought a small pile of cases and screen protectors for me to choose from. I told him I already had both... heh. The guy who was there before me shared emails with me and we tested S-Beam before we left the store. It was pretty cool. I'm surprised there weren't more people waiting for it, but I don't live in a huge town.

i personally had a system glitch when i was using my fiancé's line to upgrade on her line then to switch to my phone to keep my unlimited data. but in the middle of it all the system glitched and i was able to buy the phone on a discounted price without renewing my contract and keep my unlimited data. will be waiting a few weeks to see if my unlimited data drops and if it does they will put in a request to return it the way it was. cause i personally did not sign a new 2 year contract nor was i asked to.
and i was at the store at 11 am there was a older gent in his mid 60's buying one. lol and i bought it in one of the biggest stores in tampa.
I went to a Verizon Store in a BJ's. Guy there was a total jerk. I must have been the first customer since I got there about 10min after the store opened and he was turning on the phones. I exchanged my DNA and got my Note. I was so pissed about the guys attitude. (sighs, tone of voice, throwing my DNA box on the counter) I forgot to ask for a white Note so I'm stuck with a Titanium and I'm not paying $35 to exchange it for a white one.

verizon only allows 1 exchange.
Did you buy the DNA from the same store? If I get attitude, I just tell them to refund me and I'll go buy it online through a 3rd party vendor. That usually changes their attitude.

Yeah I bought the Note and DNA at the Verizon Kiosk at BJ's Wholesale Club. The only other corporate store around here is in the "hip" outdoor mall that is PACKED this time of year.
So since I returned my DNA for this Note, I couldn't exchange it for a white one even if I wanted to?

Probably not. They only allow 1 exchange by policy. Might be able to sweet talk them.
I arrived at my Verizon store at 11 and was able to get the white note 2. I was a little nervous on not being able to get it since the manager the day before told me they only had a total of 4 note 2s (2 grey, 2 white) and that around 70 people called into the store the past few days asking about the Note 2.
I bought my Note 2 outright so I can keep my unlimited data. Oh and there was also a Samsung rep in the store completely decked out in samsung gear with both a Note 2 and S3 in hand checking out the place and taking pictures on how the store was displaying Samsung products. He came up to me and gave me a nice Samsung Mobile pen. He talked about how I liked the Note 2 and I talked to him about his role with Samsung.

Smooth transaction, no wait. We went up there to pre order on Tuesday and picked it up Thursday. Neither trip took more than 20-30 minutes, and part of that was just bs'n with the guy(gotta establish a hook up!). We were the only order as far as I know(it's a new location), and the guy said he had to take a peek at it before we got there..none of the people there had ever seen the phone before, and they couldn't believe how big it was! I believe most of them had iPhones too, so yeah I'm sure it did look huge to them! Haha. Our salesman had an iPhone, iPad and had just gotten an iPad mini, so let's just say he's no Android expert(or warranty expert for that matter), but very helpful nonetheless. So far I'm happy with the switch. Came from T-Mobile.

Saw best buy mobile in a nearby mall had stock so I ordered it for in store pickup at 6:30 am. Went after work to get the phone. They were sold out of titanium and had one white left when I got there. I got the titanium. Pretty smooth transaction.

I got mine at the VZW store at the mall last night. We had a great rep who took care of us and got done what we needed to as it was a bit of a song and dance porting my number and merging onto my fiancee's account. It took a good while, but he made the time pass quickly.
I'm liking the N2 so far. ^
I got mine at a store in Jacksonville. The sales rep was awesome because I had an issue with my pre-order, and she felt bad so she mine stashed away one for me so I could come get it after class. She said she wasn't really allowed to do that, but she started my order for me so that she had a reason to hold it. She said there were people waiting outside before they opened and sold about 5-6 within the 40 minutes since it opened. They didn't get many in, so I'm assuming I got one of the last ones. Overall a good experience.

I walked into a corp store here in town (Champaign, IL) at 10:45 and was meet by a manager and representative right away. Manager took notice cause I was carrying a box with all the DNA stuff in it .. Asked why I was returning the phone and then asked the sales lady to help me out... Only thing that held me up was the fact that the lady couldn't find the transactions for my DNA case to refund me but eventually did.. I got the White Note 2 and am very happy with me purchase.. My local Verizon store has always been top notch as well.
Not able to buy it yet, but went and checked out the Verizon version in store to see what was different about it. Wife is sold on it too. Thought she'd be getting the iphone 5 so pretty happy she came to her senses. Didn't think she'd go for the note 2 though; been talking about the DNA or the GSIII to her.
Got there around the store opened. A little after 9. Only 2 people ahead of me. My own hassle was being able to keep my unlimited data, because I paid half up front and put the rest on the bill. They had to remove the unlimited then call CS to add it back. Also my cable was faulty, it wouldn't charge so had to go back and get a new one, but they didn't have a white ones left so just gave me a black one. Other than that pretty easy experience.
Bought a Sprint n2 a month ago because we now have sprint lte. But their coverage is not as good as Verizon. So selling the sprint and hour to recoop the 350 cancellation fee. Used upgrade to buy Verizon n2 at 10am on launch day. 5 sold right away. Bought at Verizon store. Went by best buy but to crowded and didn't see a display so they may not have had it yet. Verizon rep very nice and helpful. All went great. Love Verizon and note 2!

Got there around the store opened. A little after 9. Only 2 people ahead of me. My own hassle was being able to keep my unlimited data, because I paid half up front and put the rest on the bill.

You had to exchange the phone for a bad cable?? Or are you referring to the cable color? I got the Titanium Gray, but my charger and cable were white. Is that the norm?
I got such a stress headache worrying that I wouldn't be able to get one. My 14 day return period on the S3 ended on the 29th and the N2 was available on the 29th but I read here and there that some stores only had 2, some didn't have white, etc. If I couldn't get a white one, I was going to have to order it and use an old HTC Rhyme with a cracked screen in the meantime. So as I approached the store at 8:45 and saw cars, one after another turning into the parking lot. My heart was racing as I quickly found a parking spot. I wondered why people aren't getting out of their cars and lining up at the door when I realized there was a Starbucks right in the same shopping center. There was not one person in line for Verizon. I went in, exchanged my phone and was the only customer in the store. They said they had 20 of each color in stock. I celebrated my good fortune with a Starbucks Cappuccino.
