Fedex overnight shipping - Off-topic

There was a mishap with an order and the online store I bought my phone from overnighted it via fedex. I was curious as to the cost so I put in similar parameters on the fedex site and got a quote of over $50. Do businesses actually pay that much when they overnight stuff to you? I've seen ridiculous prices like $100+ for a $5 item at Newegg but was thinking those were just price gougings for unwitting buyers. Do businesses get any discount? Because I feel kind of bad getting an overnighted phone since they are basically losing money as their margins were probably razor thin to begin with.

WHOA!! I Just Bought A Tilt For $265.00 Brand Spankin New From A Corp Store!!!!

Thank you corporate America. Sorry yall, I couldnt hold it in, I had to express my joy to the world! Good bye hermes/8525, you've served me well!
so how's that? is that with a rebate, or out the door?
did you get a special discount?
out the door, retail, no contract, no upgrade!!! special discount!
Any way we can get a name or a photo of the reciept or something that we could take to corp store to prove it? I went to a corp store yesterday, and they refused to go below $399 even though I have a premier account.
Almost exact same deal I got. My Premiere discount is 60% on equipment's retail price. I got it for $240 + tax, no contract or extension, just out the door.

has anyone realized that best buy has been doing this for the longest?
since the tilt came out.
$250 a 2 year contract (369 one year..something like that) no rebate forms,pda plan required....what so ever.
some guys at ny.. times square tried to tell me that the att tilt simply wouldn't work without a pda plan therefore i must or i needed to add it to the two year plan/contract. As far as i know they dont advertise it though, but i couldnt even find it through their website..... -

EDIT: ok now i know why he had to tell it to the world... no contract... thats good deal...

Bingo lol!
im getting mine for 250 at the store...just waiting for a new batch to come in
Can someone explain what the big deal is with getting the phone for $250 with no contract? What good does that do? So you can use the phone on a no commitment, either prepaid or pay-as-you go plan? If you go that route you are going to pay considerably more than if you signed up for a 2 year contract, so it doesn't really make sense financially.
I can get the premier discount through my university, but why when newegg has it for $150 with a 2 year contract, free shipping, no tax?? That's exactly what I did.
The only advantage I can see for buying it through premier is if you are trying to upgrade your phone in the middle of your contract. Other than that, newegg still has the best deal. Period. If I am misunderstanding something please explain.

Because a lot of people already are in the middle of a 2 year contract, and don't want to wait 14 months until they can get the Kaiser for less than the cost of a used car.

HA thats funny, i was thinking the same thing lol!!! now lets see how much i can get the iphone for!(present for my pops)

I don't usually do this, but...

I purchased the Bionic from Verizon on Sunday. I'm a new phone customer to them. I do own the Xoom, but that doesn't qualify for family plan.
I got the Bionic, new number, and the understanding I would port my old number over if I decided I liked the phone enough to keep it. I understood the $35 restocked fee.
On MOnday I go in to verizon, the Lapdock is on sale. I said, I'll grab that too. Rep told me no can do. That price is limited to new customers. I told him, I'm not over 24hrs yet. To get the dock, at that price, I would have to retrun the phone, pay the fee, repurchase the phone and meet the conditions for the sale price.
Hmmm...
Well....2 days later, Amazon has the Bionic for a penny. I'm like...crap. So, with my hat in my hands, I returned the Bionic and ordered it from Amazon. With the Money saved I can buy the dock....eventually.
I have never done this before....feels like I'm cheating someone or something....but, its within the proper terms.
Going to take a shower now...wash the stink off...maybe I'll take a $200 shower.

SquareTrade Discount!

Normally, the SquareTrade warranty is $39.99 and $49.99 for the 8GB and 16GB models, respectively (all values in USD). If you buy the warranty through their Nexus 7 landing page (http://www.squaretrade.com/nexus7) you'll get $10 off, so $29.99 and $39.99. Offer expires 17 August 2012. The warranty is good for 2 years and includes accidental coverage from handling (spills, drops, etc.). They can also adjust the warranty to start when you actually received your Nexus 7, not when you purchased it.
Searched their site for a minute to get some details. There is no deductible for tablets. Shipping is free both ways. Once the parts and labor for any repairs reaches the original purchase price of the device, the contract is considered fulfilled. If it is damaged beyond repair, they will cut a check or make a paypal deposit in the amount of your original purchase price and consider the contract fulfilled. They guarantee 5-day turnaround. 5 days from when you ship the device to them, they will have it repaired and shipped back or pay you for the device. There may be other terms that I did not find on the site, or that I simply forgot but it sounds pretty good to me. I'll be purchasing a plan since I will soon have 3 kids under 3 years old. Who knows what's going to happen to my precious Nexus.
I just wanted to share this discount with you all since I haven't seen it posted yet. For those lucky enough to be able to find a one-time-use 30% off discount, thumbs up for you! I couldn't find any that weren't used so this is my best bet.
Also noted that under the pull-down for Maufacturer there is no Google, so I'm assuming te choice will be Asus.

Worth Ave Group covers theft as well and costs $47.50 with 15% off coupon (15OFF).

You can usually find 20% off (which is what this offer is essentially) but they do 30% as well, and I know from working with them that they do pay. My daughter borked an old Nikon compact camera and we shipped it to them and they cut me a check for cost of the item. No fuss or muss.

No problem! Took me a minute to find this discount as I don't think it's advertised anywhere on their site. I even looked up the normal costs and still saw no mention of it. $40 is worth it, I think.

I haven't filed a claim with them but their reviews seem to be pretty good. You do have to submit a police report for instances of theft or vandalism and if your device is stolen from your car, there has to be signs of forced entry. Also, it doesn't cover loss, just theft.
Most premium credit cards like Discover or Amex have a 90 day accidental damage, or theft coverage policy automatically applied to purchases on the card. They also double the 1 year warranty to 2 years. I have used it before when my puppy chewed up a new pair of expensive exotic leather boots and the process was rather painless.
Personally, I'll probably take the risk on skipping a paid warranty. These devices have a pretty short lifespan for me before I rotate it out for the next newest thing.
Just purchased the warantee for my N7/16GB.
I'd really like to take advantage of this but if I bought my nexus 7 off of craigslist then am I straight out of luck? Not sure what the purchase date is and where it was purchased from (but it is an 8GB so it has to be from the Google Play Store right?) I also don't have the receipt.

I never buy any extended waranty. In Canada there is a mandatory 1 year manufacturer waranty.If an electronic device does not die in the first year, it will most likely live it's designed life (there a a statistical probability for this). Most electronic devices "die" because they become obsolete not because they stop working. To pay $40 for a $200 device, is just trowing money out of the window.My 2 cents.

While I agree with you.... people don't buy this for the increased warranty, they generally buy it for accidental damage insurance.

I have young children. I am careful, but sometimes I make mistakes. If something happens a year and a half from now, I would get the full purchase price back, even though the tablet would have depreciated in value.
Back when I had no kids, yes, I would consider it a waste. Now? Not so much. Thanks for your help though.

Worth Ave insurance quote AMAZING

I just called Worth Ave. If My wife takes 1 single online course. They will give her a college bundle discount with a $25 dollar deductible for up to 4K of insurance!!!!
For...drum rolllllllll.......
$110 a year. She just has to be enrolled first. Unreal. Best deal EVER.
Oh...and after the course is done...we can keep the bundle package as long as we don't let it lapse year to year after that.
4K of insurance (laptop, phone, camera, lens) accidental damage, or theft...for $110 a year.
Done deal. Better than home owners insurance even.
You are welcome.
Oh...normally it costs about 100 per 1K of insurance per year AND $50 deductible.
So..for $800 it is around $80 a year and a $50 dollar deductible (without the college bundle).
sooo..you're saying this is better than asurion?

I'm actually buying today for a 4K policy for $90 bucks. Today bad I didn't do this before my wife dropped the phone. But...anyway.
One thing to keep in mind is they do not cover theft unless a police report is provided and proof of burglary. They also do not replace lost phones.
Asurion is better in that since, but you definitely pay for it lol.

lol I suppose you can do that, but they specifically state they will not replace lost/stolen phones if "forced entry" is not apparent. (ie leaving it on your couch, or in an unlocked car). If your cars window is smashed, they will happily replace it if you file a police report haha. not sure your window will be worth it though.

How much insurance do I need for my Note 2? I see on Sprint without an upgrade it costs $650. I'm guessing that amount?
EDIT: I can't buy anything more than $599 on a "cell phone". How do I get more?
EDIT 2: I called them. The most they offer on non-iphones is $599. So if you break your phone tomorrow, you'll have to pay the $50 deductible and then another $50 to buy the phone from Sprint. I'm guessing the price will go down eventually.

No. Don't do a phone only package. Do the College Plus package for a minimum of 2K. It costs like $65 a year and insure up to 2 thousand with a $25 dollar deductible.
Use code 15OFF on the site as well.

You can take a single online course and be allowed to have the insurance.
You purchase the insurance and choose the closest college to you. Then you call them up and tell them what online course you are doing. they told me they didn't care if it was for Photoshop...Lightroom..an Adobe product....or a pottery class. I'm not kidding.

If this is legit, it is a great deal. Even though most homeowner policies do cover your mobile devices, you really never want to turn in a claim on that. I will be looking into this more, thanks for sharing!

Hey senior member. Do you see how long I have been in XDA? Do you see how many threads I have posted? My wife shattered her phone. Want to see a pic of it? Not everyone is a scam artist working for a company dude.
|it's a good deal. You don't like it? Then ignore the thread. You got a better offer? Let me know cuz I haven't purchased it from them as of yet.
But don't troll in here assuming someone is trying to scam you just because they are discussing insurance for a PHONE unless you have something productive to offer..
Paranoid often?
Edit: I have renters insurance. Doesn't cover dropping your phone. And it has a $500 deductible. I know my stuff. I'm a research-a-holic.
By the way...this is post 666...don't mess with me. lol
So was the student quote you got to cover both you and your wife? I'm in the same boat as you, I want these things covered with a cheaper option than sprint is offering once I get my replacement.

Ordered, thanks man.
That's gotta be a windup.
It'd be cheaper for the buyer to get a flight to the UK/US whichever is nearer and buy one from a shop..
Well... If you checked ebay sold nexus 4 history, some people do buy it up to $1,100.... So this guy is rightfully trying his luck :laugh:
I never thought people would actually bought it for 3x msrp though. :laugh:
31 people purchased a phone for 649/749... either he sold out and instead of cancelling the auction he jacked up the price to something WAY out of reach, either it's someone who hijacked an account and is collecting funds as fast as possible.
***Edit*** What's sad is he's selling the 8GB version for 549... + 100$ shipping to Canada. The US has free shipping, 19.99 Fed ex 2 days and 59.99 1 day...

I don't understand how people complain like this. Someone bought a good that was in short supply with high demand. They then resold it for market price. The person that bought it clearly thought it was worth what they paid for it. So big deal, why the hate?
I like my Nexus 4, but jeebers. Maybe I should sell it if people are really paying $750 for these phones. I could live with my Galaxy Nexus another month if needed.

Thinking the same
31 Sold? What the hell is going on with people.
Who pays 2 Grand for a phone. What the f***
but it's ~Factory Unlocked~
I'd pay any price for that feature alone

Indeed
That's it, I've decided - there are too many suckers out there with money to burn, so when the next most wanted mobile comes out (aka iCrap 5s/6) I'm going to re-mortgage my house and buy as many possible then flog them on ebay. (Then pay off my mortgage!)

I don't think so, these people are the scum of the earth, they don't create/produce anything of value, only parasitizing, I wouldn't mind if this type of activity was punished by pouring the hot oil in their angus through horn, like in the old days.
The average price of the sold units is ~$649, so nobody is buying them at the currently listed price. They probably jacked it up just to get attention and are preying someone buys at that ridiculous price.

I agree anyone reselling an item should be killed! No one should be allow to sell their old car either. Kill all the capitalists!

What the heck is an Angus? Am I part beef cattle?
I'm pretty sure I don't have one of those to pour oil into.
