Pre Order Submitted!!

[davidnc]

If I get it online, do I get it ON the 9th or a few days after? And if preorder from a storied today, will I get it on the 9th?

I leave for vacation on the 12th, and would love to be able to bring a new phone for the trip.

They would ship on July 9th the way I read it so I would think you should have it before the 12th

Ok cool.

Do you think stores will stock it on the day of the 9th or not?

Verizon has had 1-day shipping for years.. you should be good even if they put it in the mail on the 9th.

Since it said ship BY, I'd assume that means no later than July 9th with the possibility of it shipping slightly earlier. Either way, it should get to you before the 12th as stated above assuming those dates don't get pushed back.

I got the blue in 16gb. Shipping by the 9th. Did anyone else get an extra $100 off? I got my $30 new every two discount, plus an extra $100 off.

 

[PJnc284]

So you got it for $69? Did you have an employee discount?

Can't bill your account for pre-orders?

Blue 16GB

Remember, it said ship BY July 9th. I think VZ is just covering their ass. It will probably ship sooner than that.

Nope. Have to use a credit card.

Does anyone know what Verizon's pre-order cancellation policy is? I want to get a pre-order in just in case Verizon tries to pull grandfathered unlimited data before the S3 is available in stores.

Got the exact opposite, $30 upgrade fee

Assuming it hasn't shipped, you should be able to cancel. My mom pre-ordered an iPhone 4S which was backordered forever and I was able to cancel it and buy one in store.

Awesome, thanks for the help.


One other question. I got this thing in the mail a bit ago that says $150 off any 4G phone if I renew. Is that usable if I order online?

I'm thinking the same thing. I have cancelled pre-orders before so you should be ok if you change your mind.

I ordered the white 16gb because it looks like most people are going with 32gb. I want the best chance to get on the first wave of shipments.

Thanks! Now to decide between pre ordering from Verizon and Best Buy!

Here is a quote from chatting with an online rep about pre-order policies: "You can cancel at anytime, and if you have received the phone already, you would have 14 days to cancel after that"


You don't get charged until you receive your phone and activate it. Pre-ordering will lock you in to keeping your unlimited data, and will give you a month to change your mind... in case the Razr HD or something else is announced by then.

 

[lions80]

My total due is 105.99 because of the upgrade fee. O also got a message saying that I don't get an employee discount on the
Pre order. I'm a manger at jcp and we don't get discounts on phones. Just service and accessories.

Excellent. This is exactly my thinking. I am worried with going through Best Buy they would not be able to guarantee my unlimited data. The 30 day return policy is extremely tempting. That would give people out to the end of July to compare to the RAZR HD.

I believe it's charged when a shipping label is generated and is ready for shipment.
