Re: Amazon?

Re: Amazon?

Here is in NZ which is 1 day a head already. lol I'm still waiting...

Re: Amazon?
 

I dont think the distribution centers open on Sundays here in the US. Get some sleep. You'll know it ships when you get an email from amazon. I keep getting excited when i see emails from them but then my hope gets shattered because its for the other stuffs (bluray movies :D) i been ordering. bah amazon.

Re: Amazon?
 

I know man so stupid and how stupidity are their CRPs.. hahah we all N900 pre-owner know each other feeling very well.

Re: Amazon?
 

This was the response I got:

"Hello,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I've checked with concerned department and found that we've not yet received enough stock to ship the orders for the item "Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone."

As we don't know when we get this stock from the manufacturer, currently the availability of "Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone," is listed as hasn't been released yet. We'll make sure to update our website listing when we know more.

Once we receive more copies, we will be able to ship it to you. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks between the release and distribution of a new publication.

When your order is shipped, you should receive an e-mail message confirming the date, contents, and method of your shipment. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the shipping process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is available and we have shipped it to you.

If you need to make any changes to your order, you can view the Order Summary here:

My email viciously told them that if they were going to send me that same response about not having stock and not even look at the links I sent them, that instead of emailing me they should just cancel my order. I'd rather order from Nokiausa than Amazon even at $160 if they were going to continue disrespecting me by not even reading my email.

UGH! I'm so pissed. I told them that it was ridiculous that they were treating me like a 4 year old, when I had spent $500+ on a device from them and was only asking for information.

Re: Amazon?
 

Ship to State: Arizona
Date Pre-Order: September 19th

Tracking: No tracking number or any other indication of being shipped
CreditCard: $582.99 dollar preauthorized on card, no actual charge yet

Re: Amazon?
 

I finally canceled my amazon order today and ordered from the nokia store. I kept thinking it would ship this week, but I have no clue really, and they haven't EVER given me a freaking update. So I decided I didn't want to give my money to amazon, until they get their act together. It cost me more to buy it from nokia, but I have a feeling I'll get it sooner.

Re: Amazon?
 

Sorry for being off-topic, but god damn... Almost ordered from nokiausa and cancelled amazon until I saw the $40 tax to NJ... Not sure if its worth the the $40 difference... Amazon is $530 (and I probably wont be eligible for rebate - ordered oct 17), against nokiausa's $570 after rebate.

Re: Amazon?
 

OK I have some good news:

0. I ordered September 21, 2009

1. My phone is in transit to Mass:
2. Amazon adjusted the price to reflect the lowest pre-order price

So not the phone will be on my porch on Tuesday the latest and I will be 6000 miles away and unable to play with it.

At least when i get back on sunday I get to play

Re: Amazon?
 

I got fed up with the wait and went in to the Nokianstore yesterday and bough the N900.

(damn the different space bar is really screwing my typing: got to get used to it:)

Re: Amazon?
 

Just got my ship notice from Amazon during the overnight. The N900 will arrive tomorrow (Nov. 30). I pre-ordered on Sept. 16.

Forgot to mention... despite calling Amazon a couple days ago and inquiring about lowest pre-order pricing and being assured that it would automatically happen... unsurprisingly it did not happen. I'll call them up and get credit which is not a problem for me as a steady stream of cardboard is always leaving Amazon distributors on its way to my house.

Re: Amazon?
 

Here's something interesting I noticed.

Ordered 10 Oct, 2-day ship, currently "order being prepared"...

Nothing about the estimated arrival date when I view the order on Amazon's web page. However, when I view the order using the Amazon application on Android, I see it says "Dec 10". It doesn't say what that date is, but on my other orders that's the date it is expected to arrive. Not sure what it means, but it's interesting.

Re: Amazon?
 

I'm with you mate... keep hoping for a change in my order status. I ordered mine on Nov 21.

Please Amazon, please !

Re: Amazon?
 

Time to party!

just this morning, amazon usa...

Date Time Location Event Details
November 28, 2009 07:16:00 AM Memphis TN US Arrival Scan
November 27, 2009 03:09:09 PM --- Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit

Re: Amazon?
 

Something that might help some of y'all justify a switch to NokiaUSA is the rebate. The $50 rebate only works if you ordered between Nov. 16 and Dec 31. But you also have to get it in before the 8th of Jan. Unfortunately, my pre-order from amazon was earlier than Nov 16th, so getting the n900 from NokiaUSA and sending in the rebate offsets the taxes I had to pay; i.e. it's the exact same price. I just have to wait 8-10 weeks to get my 50 bucks back.

Re: Amazon?
 

I did not want to add to the angst of this thread until I had something solid to say.

I pre-ordered on 18 September with overnight shipping to California and had my price adjusted down down twice. The second time was on 20 Nov to $529.

I had been in the "Shipping Soon" (no changes can be made) limbo from Tues 24 Nov till this morning Sun 29 Nov. At 12:30 AM this morning I received my "Your Order Has Shipped" email, with an estimated delivery date of 30 Nov. FedEx tracking does not have any location history on my package, however it does show some interesting date history.

"Shipping information sent to FedEx" 27 Nov 3PM EST origin-time
"Anticipated ship date" 28 Nov
"Estimated Delivery" 30 Nov by 3PM

There was significant delay between these events and my shipping notification (yes, I was checking Amazon's site a, um, err, "few" times daily). This leads to lean toward the theory that Amazon has some misguided notion that no one should receive the N900 before 30 Nov. Note that I have always had overnight shipping on this order.

Note that I contacted Amazon for a price drop/match on 20 Nov and yet my order just shipped. Clearly doing this does not put you at the end of the queue.

Amazon does not charge sales tax in CA, Nokia, Newegg and Dell do. I am not terribly keen on rebates (worth less than full dollar value due to risk/hassle). So I choose and stayed with Amazon. I have had multiple terrible experiences with yo-yo-ing shipping dated from Dell, so I will only order from them for Dell products.

I was not terribly keen to reorder and lose my place in queue based on my one-month-from-release-to-shipping experience with the N810 ordered from Nokia/Letstalk. (Remember the freezer-workaround to boot issues? (race condition in the kernel))

I am not terribly surprised that the FedEx location history is missing, FedEx has never been great on real-time location information, but their estimated delivery dates are solid -- focus on what really matters. Contrast to UPS which has excellent real-time updates to agonize over while trying to figure what is taking your package so long.

I expect an exciting and bumpy start with my N900 eased with having my N810 and old mobile on hot standby.

Re: Amazon?
 

Mine just changed to shipped. Looks like they shipped it already on the 28th but didn't update the status.

Re: Amazon?
 

I also just received my tracking number this morning, though the Amazon and FedEx tracking pages tell me that it left the warehouses two days ago. Strange, but I won't complain!

State: California
Order Date: 9/17

Re: Amazon?
 

So if I preorder from Amazon now is it safe to say I'd get my phone soon, or will it still be shipping after 12/25 ?

Re: Amazon?
 

Nobody knows, amazon doesn't know either.

Re: Amazon?
 

Thought I'd share that I've received my shipping notice as well from amazon. I had 1 day shipping, and had pre-ordered 9/16. I checked the tracking number and it's sitting at my local fedex facility right now!! Should be here tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone else "in line" at Amazon, I hope everyone gets their order filled soon.

Re: Amazon?
 

www.nokiausa.com

Seriously. Forget Amazon unless you want your phone next year.

Re: Amazon?
 

Sorry man--I've got other posts in the NokiaUSA thread expressing my disappointment with that system. I'm "banned" from buying online and I think through phone orders.

Re: Amazon?
 

Once we receive more copies, we will be able to ship it to you. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks

lol receive more Copies? thought they meant a genuine not copies. Seems like we all getting the CLONES N900? lol.

Re: Amazon?
 

Mine too! I just recieved my shipping/confirmation today (Sunday? How awkward) and I'll be getting it tomorrow. 1 day shipping baby, yeah! Amazon prime rocks.

Re: Amazon?
 

I have lost all faith in Amazon Customer Service competency.

Period. I'm thinking about paying $120 more today to get it from nokiausa.

Re: Amazon?
 

Amazon suckitHARD

Re: Amazon?
 

MADE IN CHINA lmao hahaha. Btw, anyone knows why the US package contents are different than the one seeing on youtube with "Test device". I meant I don't see the mini USB converter for using the charger from lets say N95. I noticed the same thing with the N97, i saw on youtube unboxing the N97, the guy has the mini USB converter , N97 case and also a dvd of Ovi while the one i got for NAM does not have those.

Re: Amazon?
 

Dude are you staying with them?
I'm torn. I love money, but I want my phone. $120 is like 14 hours of work for me (and I'm a college student, so that's a lot of cash/time)


When I emailed to say that I was very unhappy with their treatment/ intentional ignorance / refusal to acknowledge shipping, the guy didn't even look up my current order #. He looked up my old one what I included to show I originally had ordered this Oct. 9th and he said "congratulations it's fully cancelled so you won't have to pay anything, but you can pre-order again now if you want the phone and we'll charge you the $529.99 price."

I ALREADY HAVE A PREORDER! F*CK!

He then proceeded to give me the same email about "no stock, no idea when there will be stock, we will email you"


ARRRRRRRRRRGH!

Re: Amazon?
 

lol those are UK packaging man. US don't get those

Re: Amazon?
 

go with NokiaUSA. If you have problems with using your CC on nokiausa just like I do (Authorization Failed "banned") then just go to ebay i guess. $629, no tax freeshipping. That's where i got mine.

Re: Amazon?
 

Amazon and Newegg's handling of the n900 has surprised me, normally I have a positive experience with their customer service.

If the cybermonday code works tomorrow I'm going buy it from NokiaUSA. If not, I'll just wait.

Re: Amazon?
 

lmao, for real? and US package gets the "made in china" ? T_T mine was made in china. Hopefully this N900 won't be the same.

Re: Amazon?
 

yeah Kinda have no choice lol. Cos I'm not living in the USA and the creditcard its my brother in law. So what ever he entered for me in USA to Amazon is my only ticket.

lol

Hope I get an update real soon about my shipping man. I Harassing them quite a bit lol.:p
