Anybody want to know how? Of course you do. Ok, here's the deal...... it's kinda complicated so read carefully. Radioshack has these phones in their DC's right now! What that means is you can go to your local RS store and order the phone ( 17-1971 ) through the "Direct2U" service. And if you want you can pay $80 more for next day shipping. So, here's the catch. In order to order your phone now you would have to come up with all $520 right now. The good news is, once you get the phone, you go back to that RS store and say "I would like to return this phone and I would like to buy it again, but I want to do it as an upgrade this time." This means that you get your $520 back and pay either $320 or $350 depending on the length of your c...

Or you can wait 5 days and not jerk the sales guys around like that.

Last i checked the sku was not active. (i just check thed website and it still is ) So without an active sales sku you can't order a it via Direct2U.
And technically you can't refund you shipping. Cause you asked for/payed to get the phone next day and you got it next day.

Well, first of all, forgive me for trying to help out a few people who don't feel like waiting who knows how long to get the phone. Second, you wouldn't actually be "jerking" anybody around b/c the whole process tak...

$520 sale returned the same week means NO $520 sale as they will back out the sale (and the commission) SO... you would be jerking the sales guy around (not to mention his commissions)! What a jerk you are to post something like this! 😡

I'll chalk that post up to ignorance of how RS does business. To a sales person there is almost no commission difference between an unactivated cell phone sale and an activated one. In fact the sales person would actually make slightly more from the sale when the customer comes back with the phone to return/activate it than they did when the customer first bought it. But thanks for your opinion about the matter. Let's think people!!!! Why would I hav...

However in the stores in my district it is common knowledge if the customer decides to choose a shipping method other than basic ground shipping it is non-refundable to the customer. The reason why this never comes up is because in most cases other than RSU ground shipping is free.

I am on board with patiently waiting. You try this method and you are probably going to shoot yourself in the a$$ (in addition to losing a lot of time explaining yourself). You waited this long, a few extra days won't kill you.

Hi, not to sound snotty or anything, but I made the post already earlier in the morning

https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?fm=m&f ... »

DON'T DO THE SHIPPING GAME, cause myself I don't refund shipping on special order merchandise, and most people won't. I don't get paid to jockey prices for you.

Again please post if you place an order successfully today.

Again not to sound rude, but please backtrack a couple of days and read before posting, so we can have a more managable forum.

And a quick plug.

If you have any CGI, or PHP, and Apache Exprerience please call me at the phone number on the website.

I think 2-3 days for standard shipping is optimistic, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you> 😁

Enjoy your phone!!!

I just hope it is a good phone. I have been very happy with the vx7000 but I want to try the v710 as I like the analog option. I have no intention of returning it to try and get a cheaper deal from them. Fair is fair, I get the phone early so I guess I pay a little more for it. Now we need to skip the next few days so it will come!!!!!!!!!!
