Verizon retailer getting the Storm after Corp stores?
- I went into the "Verizon only" "Premium Retailer" (but not corporate) store today. Manager said he received an email today that they were not getting the Storm until the 24th.
I was a little taken aback 'cause he had my name and I'm 1st on his list of 9 to sell it to.
Then, (you're gonna' love this) he says "oh, you don't want to wait in line on the 21st at 6 AM" and (now the best part), he also said that if I order it on-line or telesales on Friday the 21st, it won't ship until Monday, then another 2 days to wait until I get it on Wednesday (26th)
Now we all know by now he is F.O.S. regarding shipping time (yes, I know ships Friday, can have it Saturday), but has anyone else heard that retailers won't have it until the 24th even though corp stores are set to have it the 21stLast edited by hal1; 11-14-08 at 06:08 PM.

Actually yes. I have a "premium retailer" near me and when I called they said it would be the following week before they had them. I'm now going to drive an extra half hour to get one from a "real" store. And I called that "real" store today and they also told me that only corporate stores would have it on the 21st.11-14-08 05:54 PMLike 0 - This may be in the wrong thread/forum but go easy on me since this is my first post.
I've always dealt with a Corporate Store until today when I couldn't get through on the phone. Then I called an Authorized(d/k if it's a "Premium?) Retailer today and the owner wasn't sure when he'd get his Storms in. I asked about pricing and he said he would try to beat the Corp. Store's pricing.
My question is is it OK to deal with an AR Store as far as warranty, service, plans, etc.? Any negatives in general?
TIA,

At this point, both BB's near me have stopped taking pre-orders because they have reached the number that they are supposed to recieve, so they cant guarantee people the 21st who havent pre-ordered.11-14-08 07:46 PMLike 0
