Sorry mods about the thread that could go in another thread. But people should see this deal before it is gone. After that feel free to merge it with any thread you feel it needs to go to.
OKAY EVERYONE! READ
Just got this deal too amazing to pass up!
Go to:
http://www.jr.com/order/basket.jsp?...Hash=0a2ace30df7d42028f38788bbc64e14d7ffee550
There will be a 16GB Nexus 7 in your cart with free shipping!
Don't forget to add the July4 promo code for $15 off!!!
Now the Tablet will cost you a total of $234 (unless you live in NY, the tax NY sorry)
Also, the free shipping uses UPS to ship to your USPS post office, THEN Usps delivers to your door. It happens all the time buying from amazon. Just sucks if your mailbox is too small. Then USPS will leave you a slip to go pick it up.
So the shipping may be slow, but you can upgrade to 2 day or 1 day for a much better shipping rate than google was offering!
I was going to pre-order from gamestop today, GLAD I WAITED!
OH! Also note: They will only ship to paypal confirmed addresses, so if your address isn't confirmed, you will have to pay with a credit card and manually type your Shipping info.
ALSO: If you use a MASTERCARD credit card (not debit) They will not charge you until it ships. So A) no balance as of yet, and B) when you are charged you know they shipped.
Do this now! Because they already took the Nexus 7 off their main page! Only a matter of time before they fix this link too!
Not sure when it is shipping, because I never saw the actual listing, but for this price, I could wait a week or two.
Happy hunting!
Oh and act now, because this deal could be gone in minutes or hours.

Still there, I fixed the link in the OP. go go go! lol
It's tempting. This would be cheaper than the 8GB model in the Google store. Gave OP a thanks even though I'm not the pre-ordering type. If discount is available from one vendor, it'll be available from another down the road. We appreciate tech toys, but they can only depreciate.
A bit skeptical about this given that the actual item is not currently listed on the site.
I pulled the trigger... worse case they cancel it, I've ordered from J&R before (my laptop) and didnt have any issues with them
ganna see if i can get another 5% out of it via shop discover on my CC
i ordered one prob will get canceled oh well

Well this is probably not going to drop lower than this until used/ refurbs come out.
Google is already losing money on these tablets so there isn't much leeway in price. The only reason it is cheap through this site is because the site always offers free shipping. And the coupon code is site wide, so it was a fluke it was useable for the tablet (also probably why they took the Nexus 7 off their site, so they can wait for the coupon deal to end.

As someone else said, worse that can happen is they cancel on you. And if you use a Mastercard credit card, they won't charge you until they ship. So if they cancel on you, your money was never tied up anyway. Sounds like a win to me and no losses in sight.

Wasn't aware they shipped to Israel.
Not sure when it will ship. Because they took the listing down. But it should hopefully ship mid July (when Google ships) or end of July (when Gamestop ships them) Either way, I am willing to wait in order to save over $40.

You are right....
The Item ID does have a 16 at the end, but no proof. I'm going on the OP of the thread that provided this link they said the original description (when it was up) was for a 16gb.
So I'm sure it is a 16gb, but if they run out maybe they will send 8gb and say, well we never said.
Anyway, I don't think it is a problem. If they send me 8gb I will just return it

It's definetly the 16gb model. I Googled the model number the J&R listed for the Nexus, ASU NEXUS7/1B16, and found the same model number, and pre-sales online at B&H Photo, Frys and Adorama. All three online vendors listed the model number as 16gb. B&H's pre-sale price is $249.00 and the other two vendors are charging 99 cents more for their pre-sales.
I hope this puts some minds at ease.
lol @ $21 NY tax.
Can't wait to move. What a joke.

I tried to cancel my order but Google rep told me it had to be done within 60 minutes. It was nor really an issue because after I had bought a 16gig N7 at Sam's (saving about $20) the monet was not there for them to charge my account.
I called my bank and they told me there would be no nsf fee. No problems as far as I am concerned.

Steal N7? People have no morals or ethics. It's disgusting.
The Truth of the matter is Google specifically stated in their terms and conditions of sale that there were no cancellations. As you are unlikely to have cancelled by phone (because they wouldn't let you) you have probably just used the support web page and sent it in. That isn't valid, your order is still good.
Correct way to move forward now is to phone them and request a return which they have said they will do if you have not opened the package.
The important thing to realise is that right now you have the device you ordered. Google's card processing system is catching up. If you have not been charged you you will be soon.

I didn't think they're was a cancel online, I did mine by having them call me, and even the first rep didn't do that right.
Eventually I called back and a different rep said my request to cancel never happened even though the first rep days before said he did it.
Second rep did it again and sent it off to the appropriate people. 24-48 hours later, I received email confirmation including the order number, was cancelled.

In that case you have a good set of history to now request they come at their expense and pick it up and return your money (if charged).
It would be nicer if the delays were not 60 minutes ha as a result of the level of borkedness of this release! Good luck.
If it says it was cancelled, you will probably get a knock on the door from a UPS guy saying that you have a shipping request. You can either a) say no, keep the tablet, get charged or b) give it to him, wait 2 weeks, get a refund from google)
All you can do now is either return the package unopened to UPS (You have 5 days) or sell it on Ebay.

No way he can get less than what he paid for it, they're all selling for a profit now. plus he might get his money faster since google refund will take a couple of weeks. However if he doesn't sell it he's stuck with it.

Thanks for the reply
I contacted google last night and they said that they would send a email regarding shipping however, this has still not arrived. I then proceeded to put a complaint against google for ignoring my request for cancellation of the goods.
I bought this tablet in the UK so regarding googles policy it really does not matter if they stated "no Cancellations" as this wanders into the realms of "goods law" and statutory rights of the buyer.
I have told a friend at work that I have one for sale or return she stated that she wanted it at the cost £170. Shame, though it would have been nice to make enough extra on top for a cheeky pint!
Also forgot to mention I have already purchased the 16 gig variant through HMV at 190 quid. Also TESCO are selling these at 190 with the order number/discount voucher thing of TDX-KPHM if anyone else is interested.
If this is UK and you were charged, send it back under DSR within 7 days and they must refund you.

So I, like many others, had a defective Nexus 7 (creaking sound, a bit of a screen separation). I called staples, and asked for an exchange, which they were happy to provide. They sent up a guy this morning with a new Nexus 7 to replace my old one.
The new one has pretty much the exact same issue as the last one. I'm considering asking to exchange AGAIN, or possibly just living with the glass separation issue.
Do any of you know if Staples will exchange/replace more than once? Also, how many of you ordered from Staples and actually received a perfect device (no creaking / glass issue)?
Thanks.

Thing about Staples is that I ordered mine online, so I call online for the support. I already opened up both this one and my last one, still no real fix.
Don't know if I should chance another replacement either, I might risk lightbleed/dead pixels (which I don't have now). What to do...
I would have no qualms about exchanging the tablet as many times as it takes to get what I paid for. It's a reasonable expectation to get one free of flaws.
Why open a new device and try to fix something that should be handled by the manufacturer?

Could I trouble to ask where you live/what the temperatures are like? At Jersey here, the temps are ~95+. And I feel like that may have something to do with it.
If I were you, I'd just ask for a full refund. Wait until your local stores to stock and buy in person (after checking the quality).
Just got mine replaced at staples. You have 14 days with each product to return it. Either they'll ship a new one or you can return in store.
I went to the store and opened it there to test it.

My tablet was delivered from staples yesterday in that heat wave we had here in NJ. I opened it right away and had no issues right out of the box. Everything is perfect.
I got mine from Staples.com as well and IMO, I have a near perfect tablet except for couple of things. For one, I didn't get the $25 credit. Slightly off topic but did all you (Staples customers) get the $25 credit? I'm weighing the pros and cons of returning it for this reason.
Are you talking about the Play Store credit? I thought that Google detects the google accounts logged in through all Nexus 7, and apply the $25 credit to the account. That way, they don't care where you got your N7 from.
Yes, the Play Store credit. I followed the directions explicitly to get the credit to no avail. I even did a factory rest and entered a different credit card still to avail.

I didn't get the credit when setting it up and seen nothing about it when I finished setting it up but I did get it later in the play store when I went to buy a app it had something like add your credit card to Google wallet and get 25$ play credit. After I added the card it gave the option to use the credit.
I also tried it at the Play store checkout. It gave me that option to add a credit card and get the $25 credit. I added another different credit card but, again, no credit.
Sounds like a lot of people have had virtually perfect tablets from Staples, in the NJ/PA area. I just called again, they'll be picking up my tablet on Friday and sending a new one on Monday. if THAT one has issues... I may just take it to the local staples to refund or to open a box / find one that isn't broken.
Online staples orders can be returned via stores right?
I called the Staples in my area and they said I could return it to their store. Did you get the $25 Play Store Credit??
I work at staples in audobon, new jersey. I'd like to say that we will continue to replace your device until you receive one that is what you had ordered.

Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.
The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out.
Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.

I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.
I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.
In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?

I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.
If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.
I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.
Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?
Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of
It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...
I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol
But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?

I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.
Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.

five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....

I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.

How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

I figured there might be some people that were looking to sell their N4 soon or were caught off guard by Google lower the price $100 and ripping that resale value away from them.
Apparently though BB trade-in is still offering:
$262 for perfect condition
$250 for good condition
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
Does this apply to the 8GB model?

I hate to come across as overly skeptical, but their FAQ mentions paying for return shipping on the devices, so I feel compelled to dig in a little deeper.
The SKU corresponds to this device: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG---Go...ile)/7408045.p?id=1218844837055&skuId=7408045 which is the 16GB model.

I dont really understand your logic here.. Do you expect the phone to stay at the launch price forever? Its not unheard of prices dropping if sales decline or new product being released..

I don't see why you got aggravated here but OP didn't complain. He just said what the truth is. Obviously none of us saw that coming from Google. Perhaps he made this thread for those who were skeptical about selling (before N5 launches) or keeping the device and if Google's decision of slashing the price made such people a little upset, they can use OP's link and take full benefit from it.

Thanks filthykid :highfive:
Just was simply trying to help those who wanted the info in case they were caught off guard with the price drop and didn't want to have to deal with selling their N4 for less via CL or something similar
^Anytime my friend.
I wonder how long BB would keep the trade in value at that worth...

After being blessed by the HOLO when I get a new HOLO device I actually give my old ones away, and spread the word of Matias Duarte
My friend was all like you know they sell this galaxy nexus for 500 on ebay. I told him "My lamb that is not a HOLO device that is a verizon one and is not recommended, take this and give me that HTC desire." I then I plus'ed Matias Duarte and we chanted HOLOYOLO together and burned that device to a cinder
True story
My parents loved the OG nexus 7's I gave them, want to talk about no resell value that right there

I wasnt aggravated.. just as I stated, no item sold by anyone will keep their current launch prices.. even cars, dealers see sale decline, they push out promos or lower prices... if you think Google will keep the phones at their launch prices, then you are naive (not really directed to you but to anyone who thinks this way)..
This is just my opinion... and leave it at that....
I gave mine back for $262 whohohwwwww!!!

They gave a gift card available to use instore.
The best thing you can do is you can purchase two visa gift cards for 5.95 for each because the max limit on visa card is $200
so what you can get $250 cash at the end
262 -6 -6 = $ 250
good deal for a 9 month old phone

I also brought its original box and stuff just incase. so they take them all
Thanks op, im considering doing this. Though mine has the tiniest of a dent on the side. Barely noticable,

I wasnt aware you could get visa cards with BB gift card...is there a trick to this or you just gotta hope your cashier doesnt notice?
He said it will start around 8:00-10:00am pacific time.
I was under the assumption tomorrow preorders were only for google play store. No??
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah same. He took a while to look into it then gave me that info. Don't take it as a fact.
That would make my day.
Certainly am not staying up all hours of the night to nab a pre-order what with work and all.
That Amazon's offering a pre-order doesn't surprise because (1) Amazon's Italy site is currently listing the N6 for pre-order and (2) they've offered the Nexus 9 for pre-order as well. The ultimate question is when they'll open it up. Could it be the case that they allow orders before Google? Some how I doubt it, but who knows.
Also, I just finished up a chat with Google Playstore. Very tight lipped. But the woman "suggested" I call Best Buy. I said that was the only retailer that would make sense because dialing 1-800-APPLE would probably not be as informative. She liked my joke and gave me a $10 playstore gift card. Now time to pick out some movies for the wait!
I just chatted with Amazon CS and they said they have no information on it.
Ahh I don't understand why we need to wait for Google employees to get into work for this a website to begin accepting orders. Turn on a rule or something. "If midnight allow orders."
Has anyone explained the logic here? (I'm sure it's only slightly more complicated than that)

Because "404 Error. Playstore will not load" then people scramble at midnight to go into work and fix the servers.
Valid. The rage levels would be all consuming.
Ya but some of us work all night and won't be up at noon to order. ?

Still cheaper than $649 + tax + shipping.
I have cheap tax where I live and this is how much it would cost for me from Play Store.
$649 + 45.43 tax (7%) + $13.99 shipping = $708.42
Although it could be argued that ordering from the Play Store has it's advantages.

yupp you are right. amazon has 30 days return period though, 16 days more than google to return in case people find it too big or by that time it is cheaper on ebay.

Not to mention Amazon returns are free, whereas you have to pay for return shipping to Google Play.
