I was wondering just how prevalent it was for orders to be cancelled when ordering online. I ordered three touchpads from DataVision and one from ErwinComputers. They will take a while to get here but I know they aren't cancelled and will get here eventually.
Edit: Both orders cancelled. Datavision, Erwincomp please die in a fire.
Where's the "I don't know" option?
I've got an order confirmation, the order status on HP SMB site says "Backordered", est ship 8/25 and est delivery 9/1, but the pending charge on my credit card fell off.

I ordered two from Barnes & Noble - both canceled.
One from Neobits.com - no idea where I stand.
One from eBay - no idea.
One from HP Small Business - no idea.
DataVision is pulling through, and I believe their eBay ad is back up. I got two and by the time I found the eBay listing and ordered, when I refreshed to order some more the listing ended.

We would first like to thank you for your purchase of the HP TouchPad over the weekend. As I am sure you saw, the item sold out almost immediately. This will be the first of a series of email notifications and status updates in order for you receive the latest and most up to date status on the order without having to phone or email our systems.

Currently the order process will be the following:
-Over the next day or two, we will start the "Invoicing" stage. This is when our systems take your order status from "Active/Open" to the packing stage.

*Please note, when you receive this email notice, it is GREAT NEWS, as it means it is almost out the door.
Also, the tracking # will NOT scan right away, so please do not panic or get concerned.

What makes you so sure that your ErwinComp order wasn't cancelled? I ordered two and sent them a message to make sure they had real stock, but never got a reply.
I was able to get 1 32GB from Staples in store Saturday morning.
I also ordered 2 16's from HP.com, but the order is still processing.

That's exactly the same status as mine, purchased through Amazon in the US. I was hoping to have this before my week long Labor Day Vacation
A friend of mine purchased one through HP early on one of the fist sales, he got a shipping confirmation this-morning and it will be delivered in a few days.

I just received my cancellation notice from onSale.com via Amazon. Boo.
I ordered my 16gb from TigerDirect Monday around 2pm
When I clicked 'Add to cart' the price on the website was still saying $399 but it showed in my cart for $99
When I finished the transaction, it was out of stock so I felt relieved when I got a tracking number
I should have it by Friday
Didn't manage to grab a case for $20 though and it's starting to drive me crazy
just confirmed my cancellation over the phone with onsale. *sigh*

I have an order for the 64 GB Prime (Gray) at Amazon and have not received the cancellation notification yet.
However, just to be on the safe side, I also pre-ordered from J&R.
Well, just about 5 minutes ago, J&R called me and told me that the 64 GB (Gray) will not be shipped out until January 2012 due to Asus suspending the shipment.
How is it that I keep reading on here that Gamestop would have it available on December 19 ? Why is it that Asus suspend the Prime on some store and not on others? Strange.

This seems to be the same thing that happened to the Amazon preorders.
None of the "official" ASUS preorder sites took orders on the 64GB version... I'm wondering if I just shouldn't expect this until mid-January. No date in December for a 64GB version seem to be panning out...

Given that Gamestop is listed as an official preorder destination on Asus' website, and J&R is not, I don't find this all that surprising. There is almost certainly an extra middleman distributor supplying stores like J&R, Adorama, and some of the other sites folks have found to order one, but Asus' commitment is to their official preorder outlets, and making sure they have enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
I haven't received a call from J&R yet, but I figure I will. When did you order yours Earthbrain?
This seems to be the trend. Newegg still seems to be on track, as is gamestop. ASUS is funneling the supply into a more focused retail base, and seems to staying true to their main channel partners.
Certainly no doubt at this point that there is a huge shortage of this thing...what concerns me is that there was such a huge initial preorder allocation, and it isn't that they are running out of preorder slots, it's that the stock just isn't appearing in the supply chain...which in the industry usually means a manufacturing issue.
That is of course unless ASUS just grossly underestimated the demand.

Crap. I ordered mine on Sunday, and I got the 32GB flavor which you would think would be in even shorter supply. I guess I'll call them today.
So weird that it seems like my Gamestop preorder is going to be the one that holds up at this point.
I placed my order a while ago and got the "backordered" email, but that was explained to me that they must send it if the unit isn't available or a special pre-order. I was told it's still on target for the 15th as they hadn't received new info.

I'm not sure this forum and those placing pre-orders is a good indicator for demand. The technophiles here may only represent a tiny percentage of the population. I think we'll find out when they hit Amazon or Newegg if they remain in stock.

I'm skeptical of the huge demand as well. I live in a small twin city situation with about 200,000 people within 2 towns 20 miles apart. Between the two Gamestops in my area that sell tablets (there are 3 or 4 GS's per town) there have only been two preorders. Total. Me and one other guy. I will be interested to see the initial sales numbers on this device. I think overall, to the general public, Android tablets have a bad(cheap) name. At the GS in the town neighboring mine the manager said they are about to quit carrying tablets all together due to low demand.
Don't get me wrong though. I think this tablet should be creating some demand and likely will once more normal people see it. I have just not been convinced of it's huge preorder demand as of yet.

They don't really seem to know and in fact got their colors wrong on initial pre-orders. Anyway, they claim they are a big retailer and that's true so they expect first availability. I think it is encouraging that they were told a date by Asus for their in stock date.

When my order got canceled on amazon, same day as everyone and I ordered on the 22nd also, I came and order at JR that evening using google checkout. They still haven't called me saying they've canceled. Any chance I'm going to get a 32gb champagne gold? Should I call them and check the date? I don't have much faith in this order.
Yesterday, I put in a preorder at a gamestop location. They say that they are one of the location receiving the prime and I was the first one to preorder at that location. They said that they didn't have any in stock yesterday but expecting to arrive before 19th. I think they only have the 32gb grey. I'll settle for that if I have to. Would like to get what I wanted from JR to avoid tax also, but not getting a good feeling. I've got so many stuff canceled on me this holiday I'm getting pissed.
Any good news from anyone out there. You guys been told of the date that it will be available or something that's not canceled?
My guess is that the general public don't really know or care too much about this, it's not like an apple product or anything. Yet, I'm surprise that asus still fail to supply again.

absolutely... as a matter of fact, no one knows about the TP outside the usual geek crowds... i mean, there are no advertisements for the damn thing, so what do you expect, right? haha... contrary to that fact, there are all these shortages and some whack shipment schedules... some sketchy sh!t, that's for sure...
Just to reiterate what others have said, I called J&R to verify my preorder today and was told that they wouldn't receive any units until sometime early next year. I originally pre-ordered on Sunday the 4th, but it sounds like they won't get any stock until the new year, no matter when you got your order in.
I had two separate preorders for tablet & dock, and cancelled them both.

If it's important to you, I would hedge my bets and get in the car. The guy I spoke with made it sound as if the Primes in general wouldn't show up until the new year, not that my Prime wouldn't show up until then.
Can't hurt to hang on to your preorder, but I don't think you should count on it at this point.
Freaking amazon just emailed me and said that I can preorder the prime again tonight midnight pst. At first I thought it was for ordering...but it said pre-order. No telling when I'm going to get that ****. After they screw me over....Would I still check it out....damn it...I would. I'm desperate right now. Gamestop better have that **** tomorrow. Oh and they said sorry and would give a 10$ gift in a few days or so for my cancelation. Hell I already got 30 bucks from them, 10 more would be nice.
same here got the same email, i also notice that the 64gb gold is also available to preorder
same deal, except I actually cancelled my preorder deliberately the first time. but I've had a change of heart so I'm back on with the preorder. this time I'm getting the gold/champagne color.. I didn't realize the amethyst was so purple..
Just looked again after ordering and shows out of stock.
Like I said, must just be for we cancelled folks.
And I am betting we get it in a day. Hopefully Tuesday.

Hard to get more, when you hadn't gotten any 32gb gray yet. Those are the ones that were canceled, and now allowed to re-pre-order.

Bring me the head of the one who inadvertently canceled our orders, yea verily.
Btw, check your original order number (from Nov 22/23), and you'll notice that it's the same order number from this morning - if you re-re-re-pre-ordered...
Just got finished with CSR:

Amazon.com order number: XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX
I understand the item is in high demand currently. I was just really hoping for some type of information.

Me:thank you for looking further into this for me
Ranndy:You're very welcome
According to our supplier, we're scheduled to get more on December the 30th, Xxxxx.
Then we said bye. So, I don't if this helps, but he was not typing for about 5 minutes at one point, which I guess indicates he was actually looking, he then said almost done, and I waited about another 4 minutes for his response.

ASUS isn't silent at all. Here's what they said to Engadget:
ASUS started filling the inventory pipelines this past week for our new Eee Pad Transformer Prime and will continue to do so on an expedited basis for the foreseeable future. We will reach normal inventory levels in January for the North American market based on current orders and forecasts. Based on forecasted supply schedules to our valued partners we expect pre-order allocation fulfillment to occur shortly and online or in-store availability in the very near future. We will continue to work closely with our partners to fill customer orders as quickly as possible.

Well I went for it, placed my order and called immediately. The girl told me that they are going extremely quick but reassured me that as long as I got an order number that my tablet will ship out tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
edit: I'm holding on to my Amazon preorder just in case lol

But apparently this store is offering them for $449 (32GB version)
Must already be gone, 'cause I'm not finding any there.

Ordered aswel, where did you get the order number though? I only got a paypal confirmation.
Actually they're showing 3 in stock on Amazon for Electronic Express but the price is $575 + $19.95 shipping. Clearly way over priced.

I used Amazon checkout and got an email instantly with an order number. Their Amazon ratings are actually quite high, which makes me feel better. The CSR did say that they were going extremely fast and when I just checked their page it doesn't come up anymore, so I think I may be good!

Subtotal $449.99 USD

So, I did amazon checkout when I saw this and saw the item page said 'In Stock.' Immediately afterward, I couldn't get the page to load. I have backordered preorders with Amazon and Best Buy as well... I'm gonna cancel whatever doesn't get shipped first:

Certainly can't complain on the price. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but expectations are not particularly high.
I can say that I just checked my credit card and it has got an authorization on there for AMAZON MKTPLACE PMTS.
Has anyone heard any thing about their status.

If its a legit retail store I dont think you got scammed. They're probably just unorganized. Just like the Fry's in California. I love that store but I cant trust them to get my orders straight.
I ordered immediately after seeing this post yesterday and chose the google checkout option. I received a Google order number but not an Electronics Express one immediately.
This morning, I called them to check if by some 'Christmas Miracle' I was lucky enough to order on time. They couldn't look my order up by number, so they asked the model number. My heart sank when he came back and said, " I'm very sorry sir, but it looks like we will be cancelling this order, we had more than 79 orders come in immediately and don't have that many in stock yada yada and so on."
So I replied, "Ok please cancel my order then."
He then said, "We will automatically sir, and we will send you an email to notify you when we do."
I already have a pre-order in at amazon from when they re-opened ordering on Monday, so I was expecting to have to wait 'till late Jan when I received this this evening:
Hello
Great news! Your order has shipped, and should arrive soon. Your credit card has successfully been charged for this order. Track FedEx package #50369xxxxxxx
Order date: Dec 20, 2011 5:58 PM MST
Google order number: 20879xxxxxxxxxx - ElectronicExpress.com Order #722911-01
Shipping Status Qty Item Price
Shipped 1 TF201B1CG - Asus Transformer Prime 10.1" 32GB Android Tablet $449.99
FedEx #50369xxxxxxx
Tracking says it will arrive on the 23rd.
Unfortunately for me though, I had my google checkout address set to my old house (moved across town in July), so I'll have to figure out how to reroute it or hold it.
So, I got lucky for once, Hope you all got in on time as well.
Yep. My tracking number from EE/Fed-Ex says 12/23.
I have an EE order number, but it says processing on their website. The funds are on hold in my bank account, so I'm hoping that they're just waiting for it to clear before shipping. I used amazon checkout btw.
edit: I literally just received a shipping notice! halle-****ing-lujah!
Just ordered with shipping time between 12/29- 1/3
32gb Grey
Just caught that one and placed an order. Got an email that says:
Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/03/2012
Not going to cancel my other backordered deals with Office Depot or Amazon until I get a tracking number though.
I can't find it, link please...

Man, if Best Buy actually ships these things to people who ordered today, and don't honor their offer to switch backordered Champagne models to Grey and ship those first, I'm going to be PISSED. Yes, I'm posting this in two threads, but that just shows how pissed I am. I NEVER cross-post. Or rarely.
Damn, Best Buy, you just couldn't have screwed this up more.
I had this page open on my browser with the audible notify set to on and it worked:
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/
Alarm went off and I had the order done in less than a minute.

Man, I feel for yah. Had a similar deal with Office Depot shipping out units to people that odered well after me while I was on backorder. If I cancel my order, someone else will just grab it up though.
I'd preferred the gold version, but this'll do.
ShopDiscover.com gives a 10% discount on purchases through bb.com
But it states: Offer not valid on laptops, desktops, hard drives, Geek Squad services, online photo center sales, digital downloads, long distance or internet sales, or mobile plans
Wonder if this tablet is considered part of the laptop/desktop restrictions.
This makes no sense if it is true. Mine is supposedly back ordered to mid Jan./Feb......
Hallelujah
I've been waiting on Best Buy to update their site for the longest.
I just ordered.
12/29-01/03/2012 is the estimated arrival , my grand total was only $529.64 after tax as I was able to use my $5 dollar off Reward Zone coupon.
and the shipping is FREE
Thanks! I just ordered. I thought this christmas was gonna be a bummer, sold my og transformer last week and was going through withdrawals.
And those backordered ppl I hope they saved some for you and send em to yall first.
Is it champagne that is backordered? I wanted grey anyways so it don't matter. Just need a dock now.
Was planning on getting from gamestop so I could get free games, but I can't wait.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
So using shopdiscover.com for the 10% cash back bonus, if the bonus is given on this tablet then it'll come out to be cheaper than Amazon even with shipping.
Just bought one right now from best buy for my girlfriend.

I've been stressing all for like 2 weeks now on how I was gonna get this ting. I'm stationed in Germany and wanted to pre-order, but with so many options negated by no shipping to APO I was in a rut. YOU MADE MY DAY!
Order submitted! Estimated Arrival: 12/29-01/03/2012
Score
Just ordered, thanks for the heads up, it should arrive next week, my dock also shipped from newegg. Happy Holidays to all!!!
P.S. I'm still on the look out for a champagne one for me, wifee is all set
Glad I was able to help. I am so excited, keeping my jan. 26th amazon order for a few more days just in case. I am so glad this is almost over...
You all realize you just ordered from the company that has about 100 pages talking about how stated delivery dates are pretty much meaningless. I wouldn't cancel other pre-orders until you have a tracking number. It's hard to believe BB cleaned up their act in 72 hours.
SICK!!! OP just saved Christmas for me. Will deliver on the 27th!!!!
Modded by MBOK
My boss actually gave me an Ipad2 yesterday as a xmas bonus but I sold it last night and used that plus an extra 50 bucks to order at Bestbuy.com. I hate paying for taxes but Amazon taking too damn long!!! Thanks for heads up.
Crossing my fingers!

THANK you VERY MUCH. I just ordered two GREY 32 GB PRIMES from Best Buy which will be delivered on Wednesday 12/28 using your link. One of these is for a friend. This is my 5th order for the PRIME I will need to look at cancelling the other 3 (2 from Amazon and 1 from GameStop).

party pooper.
but hey wasn't it rumored that Best Buy was undergoing some mandated meeting today regarding their Christmas order commitments. I know I read it here or from the forums.bestbuy.com site.
Perhaps this is the result of that.
Thought I'd make a thread for people who pre ordered through Amazon instead of clogging other threads.
I just ordered mine today and its back ordered but says est delivery on May 21st
Also here's how to get free one day shipping! Thanks purock!

Just ordered mine and Del date is 5/22. Ships 5/18.
I think it says back order because its a pre-order? Not sure?
But release is not until 5/18 so.... I hope it ships that day because I have 5/22 off from work.
It says free activation for new lines... but when I ordered as an upgrade it said Sprint would charge me $36 activation. I called Sprint retention department and complained about their lack of lte, etc and got a credit to my account and a promise to waive the activation fee
To get free overnight shipping just email amazon and ask nicely. Include your order #. They were really cool about it.
The $36 fee waiving is for new lines only, not upgrades.
And don't worry about the backorder note, Amazon told me that's just a placeholder type deal. They told me that that all pre orders are on track to ship by 5/18.
My estimated delivery date is the 5/21.
Sent from my LS670 using XDA
I purchase everything via Amazon, but I couldn't wait (too excited) to pre-order so I went with Sprint.com, I should have waited.
I made a promise to myself to never do that again, so my next HTC phone will definitively be via Amazon for sure.
I was opposite. I ordered through Sprint, canceled, ordered through Amazon to save $62.
I too am an Amazon fanboy. I have no problem waiting a few extra days.
Sent from my LS670 using XDA
They didint say **** about Activation waiver. They told me to expect it.
But they did throw in a free charger and a $10.00 Google Wallet Credit.
As far as Shipping. I would prefer it be on Tuesday as that is my day off! Woooot and I work all weekend. Perfect timing!

Thanks man, I'm going to try this out! I just hope to get it before Memorial day weekend since I'll be out for almost a week. Hopefully my preorder is on track since I ordered a few hours ago lol
Edit: Can confirm this works!
I just cancelled my order from Wirefly and placed one with Amazon. I was in early with Wirefly on 5/7, but they would never give me a straight answer of when or if it would ship soon.
Amazon did say I should have it by 5/22. Not sure whether I believe that or not, but at least they are giving me a date. I also noticed they gave me a free car charger once I placed my order. That was a nice surprise.
Not sure how this customs thing is going to affect it if it is true.

Yep they are giving a free car charger to everyone. Can never have enough of those generic USB chargers.
In all honesty, I doubt the Customs thing is going to affect pre-orders that much. Most of those phones have probably been in the country for at least a few days.
Those customs batches are for units not yet sold, I suspect.
When I click the free charger link it 404's lol

I preordered from Amazon on 5/11 before it went to 'backordered' and my status still shows as shipping 5/18, so I decided to email Amazon today and got the following response:

Hi,
I placed a pre-order for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE on 5/11, but last night
I heard there was some sort of delay for this phone due to US Customs. My
account page still shows my order as estimated delivery date of 5/22 with
the shipping date as 5/18 as it originally was when I placed the order. I
wanted to confirm if this was still accurate and if the delay has changed
anything for my account? Also are there any options to possibly get this
shipped faster with another method?
My order number is ******************.

So I'm crossing my fingers that Ron from Amazon knows what he's talking about.
Same thing for me; I'm curious if anyone who requested the overnight shipping has seen a change on their order status. (IE: Arrival Date: 5/21)

Amazon often plays by its own rules. So I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them ship out preoders if they were able to get their batch. I know Sprint would prohibit them from doing this, but how effective could they be?

I had it change a while ago. My status still says this when you go to view order:
Shipping Estimate: May 18, 2012
Delivery Estimate: May 21, 2012
Shipping Speed: FREE One-Day Shipping
Interesting because I got a completely different response!
Thank you for emailing in about the possible delay of the HTC EVO LTE 4G Android Phone. There are reports that the phone is delayed at customs and I'm sorry we don't have a time line when they will be released.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Just got my response back for the change in shipping. My order has been updated and says it will ship on the 18th and be received on the 21st. I figure Amazon will join the delay alongside everyone else, but they are taking their time getting that info to their customers, so I wonder if they will do anything about that... they are generally good with their customer service. I don't mind waiting if it comes to that.
Yeah I'm trying to keep my expectations low so I don't get disappointed but I'm hoping they already had some stock onhand before it went to backorder status and are still sending those who had preordered their phones on time.
On a related note, I did email again and requested for one-day delivery instead of the free two-day shipping that they automatically give you and score!
Hello from AmazonWireless,
I was able to upgrade the shipping on your order to one day. The new estimated delivery date is 21 May 2012.

Hello [Crowordove],
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the truth is we just don't yet know how this customs issue with the Evo LTE phones will affect our ability to deliver your new phone to yet. Of course, we'll keep you informed via email as we find out.
For now, we still expect to ship your order in time for delivery on May 22, 2012 .
We'll send you an e-mail when your order is shipped with your tracking number.
You can track your order status online on Your Account
