Palm Pixi Plus $19.99 shipped from ATT

Quote from peppermint : Are you serious?? A week and even they themselves dont know wtf they are doing.. are they going to cancel or ship.. and no clarity on taxes.. And so much for the 2 day shipping.. the few who got it got it via standard usps.. A company being given business.. you call that being eaten alive? They had it up on their website for a days afterwards as well (but back to the ridiculous 4150 price)

See, I don't see the point in getting worked up about it. I am frustrated of course but slickdeals like this I never fully expect to receive.

Order got cancelled. Anyone in southern california got an extra?

Still in Progress ...

Quote from phantaci : Order got cancelled. Anyone in southern california got an extra?

What time was it when you placed your order?

Quote from phantaci : Order got cancelled. Anyone in southern california got an extra?

When I called they said they have enough stock to fill every order

I want miiiiine!

Quote from dzap : Exactly. That's what I meant. They're being cheap about it now.

Well, to be fair, it was USPS Priority Mail, which I actually prefer to UPS and Fedex 2 day services because of Saturday delivery. There's nothing worse than having something shipped out 2-day air on Thursday and having to wait until Monday for it (or Tuesday, even, if it requires a signature and you're not home to accept it.)

Anticipated response: That's not the point! If it says 2-day delivery, that's what it should be!

You're right. I agree. I'm just saying I'm not that worked up about it. I think most of the people in this thread would accept shipment by pack mule at this point.

Anyone who got this phone: Is it palm pixi or palm pixi plus? Also, can you use it with t-mobile? And if you use it with AT&T monthly plan, do they automatically charge you for data?
Thanks

I can consider USPS 2-day delivery (sometimes it's 3, but 2 days for most of the US), I'm glad you prefer it that way, I'm just saying that usually at&t ships it via FedEx 2-day, and this costs them a lot more money, which is why I said that they are, being cheap.

I used to get $5 accessories via FedEx 2-day, so I find it odd they would ship it USPS; not a single carrier, of the big 4, I know of does that.

Anyway I prefer USPS as well like you because I get it in my mailbox faster (usually) and Saturday delivery.
I don't even know why this turned into a whole debate; at&t being the second largest wireless carrier with 103 million customers, and one of the most expensive, should probably not let go $2-$3 it costs them wholesale to ship it via 2-day air. They're just being cheap, which is why I have always hated at&t.

All of them do it, every day. It's called smartpost at fedex. Both UPS and Fedex actually take boxes to the USPS for final mile delivery. Retailer have a cutoff. For example, if your order is under 10# then it goes Fedex smartpost. This is much much cheaper then having it delivered by an actual Fedex and UPS guy.

If your package ships Fedex or UPS and it arrives in your mailbox then the final delivery is USPS. Happens every day.

I am well aware of what FedEx SP and UPS MI are and how they work. Completely not what I'm talking about.

Could you please stop instantly admonishing users for asking questions that have already been asked. If you're going to take the time to reply, it may as well give them the answer. It's worthless to try and teach every individual user to read or search a thread when it gets this long. This would he belpful -- "I posted your answer in the thread's wiki "

As dzap mentioned, this is unrelated to the conversation. Fedex smartpost is what companies use when they don't care when the hell it arrives, not when it's supposed to arrive in 2 days.

This is also the first time I've ever gotten anything from a carrier via USPS. It's always been FedEx air. Including headphones and $10 prepay phone from tmo. Probably the cheapes things I've ever had to sign for.

Quote from Aballer99 : When I called they said they have enough stock to fill every order

Seriously? A part of me is telling me not to bother to call and try to force the issue with AT&T. From past experience, AT&T customer service has been a pain in the ass to deal with for the most part.
