Any positive or negative experiences with buy.com ?

I'm considering placing an order for an N810 with them today....

Answered in your other thread. Also, you could use ResellerRatings in the future.

Thanks, appreciate it. Also thanks for the link to that site, bookmarked it.

I just placed an order for a new N810 with a 2-day shipping option.

Fingers crossed for this one.

I've ordered many items from buy.com and they've been great. I just ordered an N810 yesterday with the standard free shipping and got it today. I'm in the San Jose, CA area and it shipped from Fresno.

Funny, I ordered my N810 today..and I'm in San Jose as well (out at the Evergreen area).

I picked the 2-day shipping option...I'm sure that means I get it next week

Buy.com has great prices but dealing with returns is a nightmare. So much so that I will never use them again.

I've had good experience with Buy.com. Another good place, which I learned about from a site called InternetTabletTalk, is newegg.com.

Well, standard shipping claimed to be 5 - 9 days, they usually shipped in 1 - 2 days anyway.
You should try to apply for the credit card and get the 30$ credit to pay for the purchase (Application took less than 2 min). You can always cancel the credit card after getting your tablet and bring the cost down to $179.99 - $30 = $149.99

Never mind. Just got the information from them that they have cancelled my order since I don't have my Paypal address confirmed (moved in with my gf three months ago).

Getting tired of it all and may just not get one after all.

Don't say that!

I got mine from buy, i used a prepaid visa card from tcf bank (don't know if they have those by you)

thats weird they cancelled cuz of ur paypal. can't you just change ur adress on paypal? i just moved a few months ago as well, and all i had to do was punch my new address into paypal, didn't need to do anything special.

re: buy shipping

when i ordered my kingston card, i picked regular shipping and got it in like 3 days... and i'm pretty sure it shipped from a far-off state.
