The crazy thing is that I now think that there's a good chance that the majority of these open-box tablets that we received may be due to the incredibly poor packaging by Amazon. As I was returning my third tablet from Amazon in a row, I noticed that the top and the bottom parts of the box could get a little loose and that shifting them from side to side would break the seals. I think it's insane that Amazon ships these tablets as if they were paperbacks. They didn't even use actual boxes, just those wrap-around cardboard things that they use to ship books. If only they had done a good job packaging these tablets, they would have saved us (and themselves) a lot of trouble.

Amazon screwed me again. The second tablet is also "open box". The seal on one side is broken, which actually allows you to open the box without breaking the second seal. And, sure enough, from the look of the items inside, it's clear that it's a returned/refurbished USED tablet. I'm thinking of reporting them to my state's consumer affairs bureau.

I ordered this tablet a couple of days ago prior to seeing this thread. I expect the tablet to arrive tomorrow and quite frankly, I'm a little apprehensive given all the comments above. We'll see if I get an open box too.....

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.

I got mine last week from an Amazon partner, Datavision, out of NY. Arrived in two days and was new and factory sealed. Very pleased with transaction. I wish you well in your transaction directly from Amanzon.

I got the third tablet. It's also open-box/refurbished. I'm on the phone with Amazon. They're pulling their listing from the website. This is absolutely insane.

I would like to buy one of these but it does not show up when I click on tablets, then Samsung? It's not even listed with the other Samsung tablets, it's only showing on the main screen as "new arrival"? Any ideas?

Bad... the same thing happened to me. I got an open-box item. I asked for a replacement and was told the product is no longer available.

I ordered this as GBD and received it as an open box (seal that stated, do not accept if seal is broken, was broken.) Returning it. I suspect this may be the reason.
1538349
I now see that Amazon has this product to sell directly. Has anyone recently bought this Samsung tablet and had the open box or broken seal issue? Has the packaging issue that Remus suggested been corrected?

Just got off the phone with Amazon. Having ordered 6/2, I assumed they'd at least have some information about when they might be getting them in and when they might ship them. Instead they said they are backordered, they don't know when they will receive their shipment, and they have no clue when they will ship. Basically, the person on the phone simply read off the main product screen.My recommendation to people looking to get this is not to order from Amazon until they finish fulfilling their back order. Go with a smaller place which actually knows how many they have in stock and you can feel confident the guys going to walk over to a pile, wrap the phone, and ship it off.

I purchased this camera New directly from Amazon and received it 2 weeks ago. So far everything seems fine. But I would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing" so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future. I am sure many others are in the same situation and would like a further explanation from Amazon. Please Amazon, what gives?

You people are ridiculous. Amazon does a great service with their price guarantee, but you actually have to read it. If you bought the item through another vendor on amazon that is YOUR problem not amazon's. Clearly people are not paying attention to what they are doing. On top of that amazon is not "drop shipping" from any other location. You are actually buying from another company that is using amazon to sell the products they also carry. Why would amazon give you money back for that? If amazon sells it directly to you then they absolutely will 100% of the time honor their price guarantee. You people are ridiculous.

Because people are leaving negative reviews for a particular seller on a product page that is used for many sellers instead of leaving the negative reviews on the seller's page. Amazon is a marketplace with many different sellers selling the same items. This page describes the product, and gives you a list of sellers to choose from (though it does default to one seller, there is a list of others to the right of the page). I only buy from sellers that use Amazon to fulfill the order and I also check the reviews on the seller's page. Reviews on this page should only be the opinion of the actual lotion, not if they got fake lotion (that should go on the seller's feedback)...unless they give the seller's name here because that would be helpful.

Gee, the problems with Amazon delivering Touch's gets stranger and stranger each day. Thanks for letting us know your bad experience. I wonder if Amazon is under new management? They USED to be GREAT. I never really had any ordering issues before this Touch order.

Hello Beth I really would like to answer your question but for the fact that I still have not received my tablet yet that was supposed to be here already I am not able to say how this product is for now.

There are different sellers on Amazon. Check if it is sold by Amazon or someone else. Then check under where it mentions all new offers and see how the sellers rate.

Once Item is purchased - Contact seller through your Amazon with all the details. If Message however is not sent you will then be contacted by seller to send the information over for review.

If Amazon doesn't start to police the gaming of their reviewing system (which is rampant, IMHO) being done by authors and third party sellers, they may as well stop with the reviews. I've been burned a couple of times by products that have 5 star reviews that ended up in my trash bin upon delivery. Sure, there are good 3rd party sellers out there, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm done with 3rd party sellers. It's either Amazon selling it or I don't buy it.

I have seen it go from pre-order and 1-3 weeks twice to in stock where you could get it delivered next day. I think they are saying 1-3 weeks to be safe as Apple hasn't given them a definite time they will get additional stock. I'd go ahead and order from Amazon as they are by far the least expensive with the rebate and no tax. Also, its easy to return if you buy from Amazon and maybe not so easy from affiliate. I bet it ships within a week if you order now. The other alternative is to come back and check each day to see if it is in stock...it was in stock last weekend for the whole weekend.

When you ask a question like this, it shows up on ALL listings of this item, not just the one you saw for over $40. Looks kind of silly to see this question when the price is less than $20, and free shipping with Amazon Prime. These questions should be about the product itself, not individual sellers.

If it was purchased through Sparkling Tech, you will need to contact them about the problem. Most sellers who advertise through Amazon are willing to cooperate when it comes to their product. In fact, I have acquired some products which were so poorly made, I was surprised they were allowed to sell through Amazon. However many of these companies, the one thing that hurts them the most is a bad review. I too use this device and have had no issues with it. There could be some improvements made, I agree; such as the keyboard when not in use, shutting down after 10-20 minutes, so as not to drain the battery. As Amazon has a fulfillment policy for this seller, my suggestion is to contact Amazon first, who most likely will comply with the issue or direct you to the company or seller themselves, to correct the problem.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.
