Makes the rumor of shipping pre-orders on the 29th a little more promising.

1st in Pre-Orders

I preordered mine late in the day around 8pm on 9/7/13 at best buy in California.
The guy told me they were open for preorders the day before but I was still the first one to preorder.
They had papers lying around everywhere so everyone knew they were taking preorders and had a samsung rep answering questions.

I just called my local Best Buy. Rep said I could put $50 down towards the purchase price as a pre-order, but he had no launch date. Apparently Utah's Best Buys know something they don't here. Nothing new. We're the last to know in the South

Ha..that's why i asked for a Samsung rep! 4 of the 5 best buyers didn't have an answer, one even said sometime end of oct!
the one rep actually looked at 2 different systems for me and said the same oct 4th...
i sure hope so!

The Sprint Note 3 has a street date of October 4th. None of the other ones have been determined so far. That also doesn't guarantee that best buy will have it that soon for Sprint but just means they are sellable on the 4th for Sprint.

Called my local Best Buy (Metro Atlanta area) and asked about Verizon Note 3 availability and I was told "either October 3rd or 4th"! I hope stores don't get them before folks that preordered do This, being my first preorder, would be my luck LOL

If the employees you guys have talked to bothered reading the whole articles they send out to us they would know that the new information yesterday about the 4th only pertained to the sprint version.

changed the urls from a different product w/ the note3 sku, and none are available in my area

Went and played with the AT&T GN3 at BestBuy on Friday, it surprisingly felt smaller in hand than the GN2 (coming from a GNex). The Samsung guy there, Charlotte NC, was sticking to the 10th for Vz.

I pre-ordered from BestBuy so hopefully they receive it on the 10th.

Thread cleaned lightly. Users need to be reminded to always be respectful in any and all posts.

I'm sorry i fell for the Best Buy Reps telling me it would be there on the 4th...
but i did get my pre-order email today for BB, i just have to wait till tomorrow....

CSR's are STILL unable to tell me if the device will launch tomorrow at their stores. I did not pre-order as I am unsure whether or not i'll keep it; they return the $50.00 preorder fee as a gift card, (which I have no use for). Even BB chat was unable to provide any reassurance anybody care to shed light?

Why the hell is this thread even still alive?
BB by Oct 4?!
What the hell?

Short answer is no, unless they are going to only be sold online only and not in stores(VZW Stores) and I really doubt that is happening. Sorry. VZW stores don't receive shipments on Sundays either so no chance.
apparently the tbolt is on the bestbuy ad. actually printed out paper. 299 tho.
Thursday only, look it up

My best buy told me (as of 11:30am NY time) that they have no release date at all.
Which is better than the other best buys I called last week telling me they had them and would sell on the 24th..
BMX tweeted that this week was a go. I am betting Thursday.
Yesterday I asked someone working at a kiosk in Costco about the TB, he said he had no idea about a release date but did say that Best Buy had 60 days of exclusivity. Waiting an extra 2 months to pick this phone up from a reseller, for what it's actually worth, makes this a definite pass for me.
Best Buy has had them in stock for a week or so.

It was in last week's ad at 249. The printed ad.
Also, some BB locations have had them in stock already for a week or so. Just could not sell yet.

Amazon and Wirefly and others should have it day 1. Its only retail store exclusive, not completely exclusive.
This may be why Verizon stores also have not received the phones yet. Because they are retail exclusive to Best Buy, the way the Nexus S is on T-Mobile, Best Buy only in stores, or online.
Told u
Also retail exclusive doesn't apply to verizon, they sell the phone no matter what. BB just gets to say they are the other store you can get it from

I don't think VZW stores would get as many accessories and promotional material as they did for the device and not sell it.

You guys think bestbuy will do a feb 17th release?

For who preorders with them I heard AT&T will do it I am hoping bestbuy follows suit as well
Pretty sure a BB employee somewhere on here said it's def the 19th
i just asked a BB employee and they confirmed the 19th.

Preorders ship on the 19th and will be available for in store pickup on the 19th if you reserve it in store

If you think about it.... Best buy is offering the case and $50 most likely because people will not get them early and that's their way of keeping up with att sending them out on the 17th
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Best Buy can not release them before the 19th because of their contract to sell AT&T phones I don't think their system will allow them to be sold (the stock may come in on the 17th but their system has no way to sell the inventory until the 19th when the system is updated) as far as the gift card this is going on til the end of the year on any carrier and if successful I'm pretty sure they will run it through 2013
I went there yesterday to preorder and see if they could get it to me by the 17th and they said no it still would be on the 19th.
BBYM employee here. Hard street date is the 19th and they will not be sold or shipped until then

I ordered in store and was told an email would go out when it is ready for pick up. I called the store yesterday in the hopes that I could pick it up early... They have the Gnote but will not be releasing any until Sunday. ARGH!! I want my note. LOL
I did the preorder in store and I'm just waiting for Sunday
Order online...i calll so see i can pick up at store..order could not be change because they dont have any in stores.....most they could do is cancel my order from feb 5 and place a new one to have pick up at store...i woyld wait on ups i guesss....most likely stored already sold out

I pre-ordered in the store and was originally told they would be available today but when I called they said they cant sell til sunday
I just came back from best buy. Said they've got their shipment in but I have to wait a couple hours until they're done with inventory.
First world problems.
Best Buy Mobile
Just came back from Best Buy Mobile they told me the shipment was in and my Note was there but I can't pick it up til Sunday wich I am fine with as long as I get my free case and $50 bucks off and don't have to wait til Tues
this doesn't make sense to me. AT&T and Best Buy get their phones at the same time yet we have to wait until after it's available at the stores and those who ordered from AT&T already got theirs. At least ship it so I get it the same day it's available at the store.
You people are acting like this is a huge surprise that they won't let you get it now. We have a CONTRACT with At&t to not sell until Sunday. You all knew this when You preordered. To the people complaining about them not shipping in Sunday, well looks like YOU made the dumb decision to not just go pick it up in stores.

you can't select to pick up at store for this order.
I'm glad I ordered through Best Buy... I just went to an AT&T store during lunch to ask if they have received any Notes in yet because I wanted to see one just to see how big it actually was. I haven't held one yet, just have seen pictures. I saw a rep walking toward me and I asked him if they had received any yet and he said no, to which I said that it surprised me... He then told me that it was supposed to be released this spring! I, rather sarcastically, replied that it was going to be released on Sunday, then walked out the door.
Really? You're supposed to support a device as big, and NOTEworthy (pun intended) as this and you don't even know when it's going to be released?!

If you preordered in store you pick up in store. Meaning you walk in at any time after we open on Sunday and just say hey I'm here to pick up my note. Easy

So now that they are shipping does anyone have any idea on when they will be for sale in stores?

Based on lot's of comments over, 25th seem possible but you may have to wait and see.
My pre-ordered phone comes in Thursday 24th. good luck
Nobody knows yet. And I've been watching everywhere for news of a release date like a a hawk. Wasn't able to pre-order so I'm hoping some shelves will be stocked...
Just got off the phone with sprint. Tales to 3 fifteenth reps and a customer resolution specialist ... they all said they do not have a in store release date and it wount be tomorrow.... I'm a SAD NOW...
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Yeah its actually really sad..I pre ordered at a sprint corp. store and they dont have their shipment in and they do not see a shipment in route in their system.
Meanwhile Best Buy is getting them in stores and getting it to their customers as soon as they arrive..So much for me thinking going to a Sprint Corporate store was a good idea...How did they go from a May 18th release date(in store) to being back order and only fulfilling online pre orders....Prob. because they kept taking pre orders throught the beginning of all the FTC Bull S**t
So bestbuy going to have them in stores? I'll be calling first thing.

Nexus 10: Local Store Availability

Thread for reporting local availability in a store. Only post here if you have found it available somewhere: best not clutter it with multiple posts of "I've checked store A, B and C and they don't have it yet".
Summary
Confirmed Reports
Staples (US confirmed) are taking pre-orders from 2012-11-17, for delivery at the end of December(!): http://www.staples.com/Nexus-10-32GB-Tablet-from-Google-Pre-Sale/product_117496
Unconfirmed Reports
None currently
Word of advise, make sure you are clear what you are looking for. No employees at Walmart knew what the 10 was. They all thought I meant the 7.

This thread is justified. The other main thread regarding this is mostly for those who bought theirs from google play. I for one have called all local walmarts and office depots and no one at any store has any idea at all.
Yeah I agree. I'm definitely looking to pick one up in-store after hearing about all of Google's online shop shenanigans.

Dont believe anything Currys/PC World is telling anyone. I suspect they are saying those things in the hope people will wait and buy from them.
Heres an idea. Ring the Customer Sales line 5 times, you will get 5 different answers.
They havent got a clue.
When I went in to my Local Curry's, the Manager told me he didnt even know when the Nexus 7 was coming in untill his stock arrived by courier.
Gamestop has it listed in their system but no release yet as of a few days ago when I inquired in-store while pre-ordering a Neo-Geo X Gold bundle & an additional arcade stick (woohoo!!!). FWIW, I inquired at a local wally world & they had no clue what I was talking about as they thought I was referring to the N7 also although I did see the shelf sticker listing for it. He scanned the barcode & it wasn't in-stock yet.
There was a spare place on the display rack at local Walmart here in Salt Lake City. Label on shelf had Samsung GT-whatever, which after checking the internet, corresponded to the N10. $499. Asked but no one had a clue. Maybe it'll be in stock by the weekend?

Looks like it might be longer than we thought for retail N10 availability.
The retailer will be selling the 32GB Nexus 10 for $499. The device will be available for pre-sale at all Staples stores, and on the company's website. It is expected to ship between Dec. 23 and 30, and will take 2-3 business days for delivery, Staples said.
