UPDATE: Wirefly WAS Selling Evo 3D for $179... NOW $149 (WTF)

[the gator]

I followed the link then called Wirefly on the number BoA showed to call to get the $50. Wirefly showed 179.99, read the link to them and got it for 149.99 and it will be total of $100 off the money from BoA.

so it looks like you have to call BOA to get the ADditUP off the $149.99 price.

Yeah ... I posted earlier that wirefly.com had announced the $149 price tag about a week or so after the $179 announcement ... Therefor Sprint probably didn't know or update the link to the lower priced Evo 3D ... Just inform them of the lower link and they would comply ... In either case for some reason Washington and Idaho is again excluded from this program like everything else that Bank of America does ... Like the BofA app.

do you guys know how returns are handled from a 3rd party like this? like if the phone is defective, or if in my 30 days, i just decide that i dont want the phone anymore, and switch, do i deal with wirefly or can I go into a sprint store?

 

[VickMackey#AC]

I'm also curious about thsi

You go to the additup site on BoA, sign in, go to cell phones and click on Wirefly it will give you this number (866-656-5994) if you wanted to call. I had to give Wirefly the website address (from the page 1 of this forum) to get the 149.99 because all they were able to pull up was the 179.99

after reading the reviews, i'll definitely still get the evo 3d, but gonna take the 30 days to really evaluate it. so if i want to return the phone within 30 days, anyone know if i go through wirefly or sprint? and if wirefly, has anyone had any experience on how that works? like how do I switch to another phone, whats the cost? how long does it take? thanks

Yeah I just emailed wirefly about their return policy. We'll see.

You go through Wirefly, they say their return policy is 14 days but it also says that they have to match the carrier's return policy. I returned a phone through them a couple months ago, and besides taking a while it was relatively painless.

Thank you everyone for their assistance and information. I went ahead and pre-ordered the phone from Wirefly. With the $149.99, BOA's $50 cash back and Sprint's buy pack program ($115 for the EVO Shift), I think it is a hell of a deal!

As to the question of whether the SD card is included, here is a Wirefly unboxing video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwcQw2Otgkc&feature=player_embedded

Did they charge you a restocking fee?

 

[everyday17]

No restocking fee, and free return shipping. Also on a side note, I returned it within the 14 day period so I'm not making any promises about them honoring Sprint's 30 days like they're supposed to.

Ordered through Bofa additup at $179.99 and then emailed Wirefly asking to pricematch the $149.99 link.

Here is their response: Per your email below, we will honor the price
of $149.99 for the HTC EVO 3D from the
Wirefly Friends and Family website. We will
issue a credit for any difference in price before
your HTC EVO 3D is shipped. We will wait to
issue a credit until 06/24/2011 when the
launch date for the HTC EVO 3D as there
maybe another price drop before the launch
date. If you have any further questions or
concerns, please log onto our order-status

Oh, I hope there is another price drop!!!

With the overwhelmingly controversial reviews all over the web yesterday, there could possibly be another incremental price drop ... Keep hope alive.

 

[Kathy145]

Is it just me or did they take away the friends and family price? It now appears to be back up $179. If so, I am glad I purchased when I did.

Looks like they did, so much for that incremental price drop

 

[LuckyChef28]

It looks that way. I ordered 2 yesterday for myself and my girlfriend at $149. I just went back to the site out of curiosity this morning and it was $179, just like on their standard site. Every phone is discounted below their regular prices through Friends and Family, so this may be a temporary fluke, or I am damn lucky to have gotten it on the last day.
