buying from dish

[John2021]

Has anyone bought the joeys from dish themselves!!! we were qouted 100.00 after what we told them we paid for ours for the joey 4 ( owned not leased ) installed and activated as well.. there pricing seems kinda low for an owned box from what other places want for them... the hopper 3 is cheaper in other places most of the time other than dish...

I never bought the Joeys but I do know when I bought our 2nd H3 Dish matched the price I was gona pay for it from one it dealers.

Interesting that dish would match the price of the hopper as they would not budge to match prices with dealers pricing they gave us every excuse in the book why they would not match pricing... 100 smackers seems kinda low for the joey 4. that sounds leased to me but who knows!!!

If you buy it confirm that is not leased and you own it. When you activate it also confirm that you own it then get on your equipment page and confirm its says owned . I know it sounds redundant but it's better safe than sorry once they list it as leased it becomes very difficult to switch it back. At least that's how it use to be they may say whatever we don't want it back no matter who owns it.

We have 2 joeys and I called them to return it and they told me to keep.

we agreed to the 2 years but we also got the wheels and deals to so it was a no brainer... dish still would not match the price of the hopper 3 with solid signals price.. they even to want to charge us to install it that wasn't happening!!! finally we did get someone that knew what we wanting to do our boxes do say purchased on our acct. they did ask where purchased and how much

Well understand that I dealing with loyalty department for years (10+) and even that is sometimes diffrent from person to person I talked too. One told me no other said yes and another said yes and the would match it for 2nd hopper...

Over years I got Original Hopper w sling x2 and 2 joeys upgrades for FREE no charge, and H3 upgrade with 3 joeys 4k for FREE again. At one point I even got dish to give Do 2 hoppers plus and 2 joey 4 to replace the 4k joeys all for free. I was then called a day later buy tech supervisor saying that cant be done something about switch and hub they have wont handle it.

I Still want the hopper plus and 2x joey (4) but I was told that wont even work with 2 hopper 3 system... I know Joey (4) dont need hopper plus to work but they also wont give me them with out hopper plus and I dont feel like calling to deal with get right person to do it for free..

Dealing with normal dish department probably very unlikely for this alot of this happening
