Online Price not honored at store... quite miffed

I did an upgrade online. I did not want the new phone shipped, since deliveries to my apartment have not been reliable, and I need to leave town in a couple of days.
I ordered yesterday (6/16) and was given a price of $149 for an upgrade to a Galaxy S5, with a $50 promised rebate. I arranged a store pickup, and got an online confirmation, with an order number, and an amount, as well as confirmation the item was available at the selected store.
Today, I walked into the store to try to buy it. After suffering through an hour wait, and then a 20-minute sell job about accessories I really didn't want to buy, the sales associate began to check me out, and told me they can't give me the price, since it just went up. She had to sell it, she said, for $249, and there was nothing she could do.
The manager came out and dug his heels in. They said I could call customer service.
I did call customer service. They also said that they would have to ship the phone, or I'd have to pay the price quoted at the store.
Ah, Sprint is looking SOOO much better right now.
Any suggestions, short of walking away and let Verizon go?
- Jim

OK - and if they could have told me that they wanted to retain their store
inventory, instead of promising to the phone for me at the store as the
order confirmation had promised, I would not have said a thing.

Online chat quote not honored by Verizon or Verizon is trained to lie here too

I Was quoted by Taelor in a live chat and I quote"If you were to upgrade at that 2 year discounted price this would bring your bill to $160 before tax in which I'm seeing we can add our 30% discount on both line access fees for 1 year with a 1 year contract agreement,map dating your bill to $136 before taxes.". I was told I would be getting 15 gig plan and she also said we could add 1 gig of bonus data for a total of 16 gig, the plan would also be 2 smartphones for $136. I then had to leave tht chat session. A few hours later I contacted the live chat again. This time chatting with Lyndsey. i then asked her about what Taelor had said and she also confirmed the plan and told me I could also get the s5 pro owned phone for $99 and the Galaxy note 3 pre owned $99 phone with the 1 year contract however I would have to call as she could not do sales. Well I just got off the phone with Verizon and they would not honor one bit of that agreement even though the lady on the phone (very nice lady by the way) could read exactly what Taelor and Lyndsey both said in our chat session. I thanked her but I'm going to most likely be moving on to sprint and get unlimited everything for my wife and I at $60 each. My sister and her family and my brother in law and his family live in the same area and say they have great service and Internet as I know with sprint that can be a concern. Too bad because I really like Verizon.

I could title my experience the same!
I have had an S5 for about 6 months and have hated at least 23 of those weeks. A couple of weeks ago I signed onto chat to find out my options:
first agent, before she even answered my question as to my options, proceeded to tell me that if I changed my plan that I would save xz&y. I stated that while that sounded good, I wanted to sort out my phone problems first. While I was waiting for her reply, I got a text message notifying me that a change on my account had been made. I immediately stated in the chat that I had not authorized an account change and that before they had permission to do anything I wanted to know about my phone options. STRANGELY, the chat got cut off. WT$%^*
I copied the chat and initiated another session. A new rep comes on and I paste the previous chat into the window and inform her that no change was authorized, and while the change may make sense I want to understand what options I have for getting a new device. She apologized and then gave me my options: 1) buy a new no-contract phone at $750, 2)pay the ETF (prorated to around $250) and then either go onto a new 2 yr contract or go onto an edge contract. I said I will go with option 2. At which point she told me that I would have to go to the store to do the phone transaction but that she would review my plan options. We reviewed the options and I agreed to make the changes.
now I go into the closest VW store and after waiting for 30 minutes for service and another 30 of explaining and the rep talking with her manager, they tell me that they will not honor that. They will allow me to pay the ETF and go to a different device but I will lose my phone number.
So of these options is true:
Chat Reps are not trained properly, or
Chat Reps are intentionally misleading customers, or
Local stores are not trained properly, or
Local stores are refusing to follow VW agreements.
Which ever is a problem. My options are pay $750 or move my accounts to another carrier. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Local Apple Stores/Repair will not honor battery recall.

I put my serial numbers 12" PB and battery in to this page https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/index.html and the response clearly indicates that I am eligible for the battery exchange, but the Apple store at Siam Paragon in Bangkok (run by http://www.copperwired.co.th), Thailand will not honor the recall and wants me to pay. Customers are not even supposed to have to drop off their old batteries first but I was asked to and now have had not battery for more than a week! I cannot find a way to get help from Apple.

Well, as I said, try calling AppleCare. Any person you end up speaking with, you can take your problem to them and explain what took place. I'm sure they will help you from there.
I thought maybe there was an actual Apple Store in your area. There are some in Great Britain, so that's where I was coming from.
But yeah, your best bet is dealing with the real Apple themselves. Since those drop-off centers, even if they are Apple Authorized, won't give you the same answer/help as going straight to Apple.
Give AppleCare a call. Or even, that number for placing orders and when they ask, tell them what your problem is and they should redirect your call to the right person. (Now that I remember, that's what I did. 1-800-MYAPPLE. I told them I was trying to order a battery replacement under the recall, and that's how I got connected to the right people. Funny how your memory gets clearer at the last minute).
Good luck! Wish I could be of more direct help to you.

Does not honor sold price

I was sold a package price of $97.95 for 105mb/sec Internet, 140 channels including HBO and Streampix, a DVR and a second box. Now Comcast will not honor that price and claims they do not have that in their records. Yet there is proof in a recording that they DID offer me that price. And I was told even if they find the recording they will not honor the price. Even though there is PROOF that they would honor the sold package price. Yet they will only give me 75mb/sec AT SAME PRICE!!! Unbelievable!!! I honestly cannot believe a company gets away with this!!! And to top it all off, my internet is still not up to speed properly as its only maybe 15mb/sec. Comcast is SO BAD!!! They should be ashamed of what they do. But all I got was "we are sorry". That doesn't fix it!!! I am looking into legal council and the attorney general and the federal trade commission. I am sick of these fraudulent practices by a composing like this that feels that they can do anything they want because of their size. Someone needs to knock them down a few pegs and make it hurt! This isn't over!!!

This isn't over!!!Hate to tell yo you this but when you signed up for service you signed an agreement surrendering your right to sue. Your lawyer won't tell you this until he/she gets your money. You need to go thru arbitration. I would contact attorney general along with FTC ant the BBB. Good luck.

In Stock Online but not in stock in any stores and not available for Delivery?

I am having an issue and I can't understand it. Recentally I have been searching everywhere for an affordable copy of "Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn." I come across Bestbuy's online store and there it is pre owned for 29.99$!! I was so excited to finally have found it. The website says that the game is available and in stock so I go to order it. But to my dismay not a single store in South Carolina has the game in stock, and the game is not available for shipping. So I came to the forums first since I am at work, so I want to know is there anyway I can get my hands on this game from Bestbuy? Can I have one branch send it to another or have it delivered to me or am I stuck brooding over the fact that I can't get a hold of this game? I would appreciate the help but this issue has really disapointed me and killed my rush and excitement tonight.

I took a look at that item on BestBuy.com and it seems that is a Pre-Owned game. Clearly from the name, this game must be previously owned before Best Buy can re-sell the item, so not every single store will have a copy. Unfortunately, if the Store Pickup option isn't showing any inventory in nearby stores, it means that no Pre-Owned copy is available to ship. Online orders pull from the district/territory warehouse(s), so it will be much harder to get a copy of this game than a normal item which is regularly stocked. Perhaps a Forum Moderator can shed more light onto this situation or offer a solution I haven't mentioned. Hope you can get your hands on a copy of this game!!

Online Price List

Hello,
One of our client has E-Commerce 5.0 and TREX 7.1 integrated and web shop is working fine.
They are looking forward to integrate online price list.
Current scenario - They have a Z table (50,000 records) which has all the pricing relevant records. We are thinking to replicate it to TREX and generate an ad-hoc query from application. We are expecting TREX should return the result which will be displayed and then users can download the same. Z table has around 25 fields and same needs to be replicated to TREX.
Questions:
1. Will it be a good approach to replicate whole Z table to TREX for online price list? If not, what should be the best way of accomplishing this?
2. Is there any limitations in TREX for each records (like only 512 chars TREX can hold)?
3. Please recommend any guide if available for this.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks.
Shubhangi

If you are viewing the TREX as a data store, you may go wrong. It is strictly used as an Index server by the CRM / Product Catalog. The key to the records is the Product GUID and the values of the Product Attributes get indexed and stored. Queries return the product GUIDs (list) for the given attribute values.
Normal Price List is also published in a similar sense. One value per product. If you have to associate multiple values (refer to your question about length), think in terms of Attributes and their values.
There is no method to list the results in a way usable for printing. Any printing capability has to be custom developed.

Trade Up to Madden 15 $10 Coupon not honored as stated

I am a Gamers Club Unlocked Member, and I pre-ordered Madden 15 online to take advantage of the $10 pre-order gift card.
Best Buy then had a flyer in August stating that if you traded in Madden 25 between 8/10 - 8/23 that you would received a $25 trade in value, and then a $10 Coupon towards the purchase of Madden 15.
I was told that I didn't have to cancel and reorder my pre-order to take advantage of the $10 Coupon, as it would just be applied when I went to the store to pick up my game.
So....I went to the store....and the coupon was not honored. The store staff even called corporate and they said it couldn't be honored. The in store person stated that they couldn't apply an adjustment at the POS for a .COM purchase. They could return the game to give me my adjustment for the coupon, but then I would lose my pre-order $10.
Epic fail on the end of Best Buy.....

Hello hoopty2369,
I’m very sorry to hear that you may have run into some issues with using the $10 coupon you received from the Madden 25 trade-in promotion.
I see that you did post in the other thread as diddy_64 suggested. We’ll be responding to everyone in that thread shortly. However, I didn’t want to leave this post without a response. I appreciate your patience in the meantime!
Thanks,

Whenever I updated or downloaded a new app from the App Store, a message appears saying:
"Account Not In This Store
Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Swedish. store before purchasing."
I made some research online and asked a few of my friends with the same problem. All they did was sign out of iTunes from settings>iTunes & App Stores or from the App Store itself and signed back in. It worked for many of them but not with my iPhone 4s. It really does get on my nerves to always sign out and back in to the App Store as it sometimes works and allows me to update and download or most of the time it doesnt.
When viewing my Apple ID account on my iPhone (after entering the password) it either views my account or says:
"This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store. Try your purchase again."
So I press on OK then either switches me to the App Store app of its choice, or says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
I tried restoring iOS6 hoping it was a bad installation, but i still have the same problem.
Can anyone help me please?
Arian

Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

Not working ovi store

Not working ovi store in My nokia x2 01

Hi Dmishraji,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
You can download applications via the Nokia Store online or via the application on the phone itself.
If the application doesn't open on your phone, please update the phone's software. Connect the phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up. Don't tick the Settings box. Then click on the green arrow where you can update the phone's software to the latest available software. If no update is listed you can reinstall the current software, this option is displayed in blue.
When the update has been installed, go to Tools > Restore to restore the back up onto your phone. You should now be able to access the Ovi Store on your phone.

Trying to Update OS App Store Quits Unexpectedly running 10.8.2

I am having trouble updating to 10.8.3. When I try the App store quits unexpectedly. Any Advise. Pease Help

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?

How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?
Mybe Google or woodpress,
Or publish iWeb online with iCloud WITHOUT upgrading Lion?

iWeb will still be around but as Jeff pointed out if you want a blog with visitors comments you should consider converting your iWeb blog to WordPress. Rage Software has created an applicaiton that will convert your current iWeb blog w/visitor comments to a Wordpress blog. You can get the application here: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog.
If you don't have visitor comments then the iWeb blog will continue to work for you on a 3rd party FTP server.
If you have photo pages in your website with the accompanying slideshow you'll need to read the following:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
