I sucked it up and paid the $12.99 for overnight shipping because I'm using a ~5 year old flip phone that can't make or take phone calls since I sold my iPhone on Tuesday. It must be a recent change though.
I am going to wait it out for the guy I spoke with lol I want that $13 discount
he said 8 am if not its in my account notes and his name so I will stick it out till 8
A bunch of taxes though... I think because I live in California (crazy sales tax, even online...) Definitely going to be worth it though Unless a used Bold 9650 is considered a new device... I've haven't had a new phone since my Storm2 that I got 2 years ago...
Everytime Ive ordered a phone online or in store it has always got to me the next day, so I didnt see the need to get the overnight shipping and pay an extra 13 bucks...I live in socal by the way
Any idea what stock amounts are looking like? My order confirmation pages said, "Pre-orders will ship when item becomes available"
I ordered mine last night @ 11:30 CST. I chatted with the online rep as I walked thru and she said that my "overnight delivery" would be Wednesday not Tuesday. I should have asked a few more questions, but just happy I got an order in.
With my NE2 I paid $199 +12.99 overnight shipping. Just called VZW and asked them about the free overnight shipping. The rep noticed the change and saw that I was charged for the shipping. She offered to credit my account 12.99, so in effect, I got free overnight shipping.
Order Status as of now shows that the order has shipped. However, no tracking number is available as of yet.
I just called and they credited my account the $12.99 as well. Kind of strange that the free shipping option was unavailable for such a short period of time.
I ordered my 9930 via phone a couple of hours ago. I came right out and asked the rep if he would be kind enough to wave the overnight shipping fee. I was a bit shocked when he said, "sure, no problem". I received the e-mail confirmation a few minutes later and sure enough it showed the $12.99 overnight fee, then backed out the $12.99 under "Overnight Discount" or something similar to that. Sometimes it pays to just ask!
I am scared to touch anything on my order till it actually gets to me. I would hate for someone to mess the order up causing the device not to ship. Can't afford to destroy another inanimate object, just can't.
