Need to find a Droid X, Walmart has a bunch of them!

[bandroid]

slightly off topic but what is best buys return policy? i have a case i bought for my incredible but realized i had it for over 30 days, will they still take it back for store credit with or without receipt?

funny story about the walmart too, i rolled out of bed and got my droid x from a vzw store at 7pm. they sold out of 60, then got 20 in right before i got there and i suck at luck!

Sorry you had a bad encounter with an associate but we aren't all like that. Some lucky stores get people that are very knowledgeable. The team at my is very well informed and like to train and learn about our phones.

And the comment prior about the "Terrible Return Policy"? What's so bad about it? You have 15 days to return the phone with receipt and we call Verizon on your behalf to cancel the line or account. I don't see the problem there. We give you a paper to sign clarifying this information and that you fully understand the commitment.

The problem is "only 15 days". That's hardly enough time to do jack crap with the device. 30 days is more like it and more acceptable. And also since your an associate of walmart how do the exchanges work? Let's say i wanted to take my phone in today which i intend on doing and ask to exchange it for a new one because im having issues with the one im using now. How do they go about doing that? Any issues?

Just like the title says, I was just at a Wal Mart by my house (Bloomingdale, IL) and they had 3 left. Most are 24hrs or open till Midnight, so if you wanted one and it was sold out everywhere WalMart might be your best option.

Just checked my Walmart at lunch time, Kennett Square-PA, and they had one in the display case just waiting for someone to come take it home....

I just called my local Wal-Mart and they have a handful of them in stock. I am thinking about going to get one and see if they will give it to me for $99 like Verizon will. If not, I guess I will have to wait for them to start shipping again.

15 days isn't enough to know if you like your phone? Well I guess every has their own opinion on what a "good" return policy is. Anywho if you would like the exchange the device it has to be within those 15 days and undamaged. We just process the return very easily, and give you the phone you like. If it's the same phone its just a straight exchange or if it may be a different phone the differences are either refunded if lower priced or a difference is owed if the phone is higher in price. You get another 15 days with the new receipt. We call the carrier and do the ESN switch and any changes to the plan if needed.

Prices are set at $199.99, so you won't be able to get it below that.

I have to wait too. My store has them but I have to order thru Verizon because my 2yr-upgrade date isn't available so can't buy at WalMart. They said they will ship next week on Monday.

Hmmm, I wonder if Verizon would reimburse you if you are eligible for the $100 off.

I would like to thank Mylan2424 for coming on here and explaining things to everyone, I have never had a problem at our local Connection Center. I'm am very pleased with our local WalMarts service. So again thank you.

 

[Mylan2424#AC]

No prob!

Not true

I am a WalMart associate and trained in the connection center.
Certain WalMarts do carry the Droid X. We have two stores in my town of Las Cruces New Mexico but only my store carries them. The other store carries AT&T, therefore their store carries and drives sales for the iPhone. My store has 2 in stock and surprisingly no one has asked about them except me. Just to clarify some details.
Primary has to be there, not "authorized users"
NE2 Discounts are not given.
You can only receive the 2yr Upgrade price if you are eligible for an upgrade (20 months into contract) or adding a new line of service.
1yr Early Upgrades cannot be done
---UNLESS you are eligible thru the Smartphone Early Upgrade offered to customers but you have to call Customer Service prior to visit in order for system to recognized the upgrade eligibility
No rebates on phones. (Droid X is currently 199.99)
There IS an ACTIVATION FEE of $35 that will appear on the next bill (unless of course there is a special going on where ACTFee is waived)
And we can add insurance if needed but edits to accounts are limited because of our system. Associate is able to call Verizon Customer Service on your behalf as an Indirect Agent and help in changing any info you need.

Primary does NOT have to be there. I'm an authorized user and all I needed to provide was the last 4 of the primary's social.

Another benefit to purchasing your phone at Walmart is that tax is charged on the sale price, not the full retail value of the phone like VZW.

One drawback in Cali is that we are supposed to have 30 days to return a phone; however, Walmart handwrites on the contract that they only offer 15 days. I'm sure if someone wanted to fight that policy they could but I love my Droid X so I don't care.

Also, when I called before hand, I was told they had no Droid X's. I was headed there anyway and stopped by the phone section and guess what was sitting in the display case? The only Droid X they'd received. The woman who answered the phone had no clue as to what I was talking about and apparently had no intention of getting one.
