Just got a call from radio shack

**Shadnic** · 08-26-2010, 10:27 AM

The guy at my local radio shack just called me to tell me that they had the epic in store now, but that he couldn't sell it until first thing Tuesday morning. Exciting none-the-less, the day is almost here

Guy felt like teasing you huh? Jerk....LOL

**ZoogieZork** · 08-26-2010, 10:49 AM

Hah, it's like being a kid again and seeing the presents under the Christmas tree the night before...

**Mattism78** · 08-26-2010, 10:50 AM

Uuuugh, such a tease. lol.

**missg#ac** · 08-26-2010, 10:57 AM

I just checked my email & have a coupon for $15 off a $60 purchase @ Radio Shack. Wonder if I can use it for the phone. I'm sure gonna find out.

yeah, I got the survey coupon also. The guy at 'The Shack' was sure to tell me to complete the survey as soon as possible and bring in the coupon when I'm ready to pick up the phone.

Does anyone know when they will start calling to set up the pick up appointments? I'm going to go by the store tonight, but thought I'd check.

I set an appointment for 1pm on Tues. Didn't know they were gonna call.

pick-up appointment? That sound strange, although I've never been to a RS for a phone before.

**13curly** · 08-26-2010, 07:05 PM

Ok. So, I just called and they said to just come in when they open - no need for appointment. They open at 9:00 a.m. and I'll be there when the doors open.

I haven't either, it's right across the street from my house, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The guy filled out some phone appointment form & asked me what time I wanted to come in to get it. I'm sure it means nothing but that he wants to get his commission

When I purchased my pre-order gift card, there was a survey request at the bottom of the receipt. When you finish the surevy you get a coupon for $10.00 off in-store purchase of $40 or more. This coupon is good thru 9/26/2010.

**Epic Journey** · 08-27-2010, 04:22 PM

I got to play with the dummy Epic that arrived at my local Radio Shack yesterday with their phones. I've pre-ordered from a Sprint store. Perhaps I should call and make sure they have them!

**epbb** · 08-27-2010, 05:01 PM

How does a pre-order + bill-to-account work at a Sprint store? Can you bill the deposit to your account and then have the balance billed when you pick up the phone? Or have the entire $350 billed to the account as a deposit? I'm already on a pre-order at a radio shack but already spent the gift card.

I got on Radio shack email list today & received 10.00 off coupon on 40.00 purchase so I went back to Rshack site and put in my secondary email and guess what , Another coupon arrived.
I did this 3 times took the coupons in and bought 3 50.00 giftcards for 40.00 a peace.
So basically I'm saving 30.00 on my epic
