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.
I posted this in the other amazon thread:
Praveen:Hello, my name is Praveen. I'll be happy to help you.
Me:Hello
I was wondering about the ship date of the Asus Transformer Prime (TF201) that I just ordered
Praveen:Josh, I am really sorry as the item is temporary out of stock not able to confirm you that when we able to ship the item However You will receive an e-mail when we have an estimated date.
Me:Okay then. So you don't know if it will ship before Christmas or not
Praveen:I am sorry not able to confirm you the date,
Me:Ok. Thank you

If you don't get your gamestop orders by today, or the latest 23 then cancel it. No point in paying TAX for it when amazon has no tax. Unless you live in california I suppose.
is ordering from the item out of stock page considered pre-ordered?

thats exactly what i am going to do.. gamestop just called me s a matter of fact telling me the 23rd
By the way on amazon, if you go to you account an d click order details you will see. It says your item will arrive after Christmas
I re-pre-ordered from amazon last night I just did it quick and did not really pick a shipping. I just changed my shipping to 1 day shipping and it gave me free 1 day shipping so everyone who as not selected 1 day shipping may want to give it a shot could be totally free.

some one yelled at them and got 100 you need to do the same, drain those mofo's.
i never ordered from them, but they got plenty money.
Talking to an Amazon CSR rep now, they are telling me they won't get more in until February. WTF!?

We also get taxed in NY.
I only have orders with Amazon and Newegg but I really want the gold one (not so much the purple)
Well, I'm pretty sure the CSR is wrong here. February is far-fetched I would think. I also placed an order last night for the 32GB Grey, hoping that either Amazon or Best Buy will get me one soon, as this was supposed to be a Christmas present for my parents.

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.
They are admitting to screwing up: "We wanted to let you know your order for Transformer TF201-B1-GR (10.1-Inch Screen) Tablet was inadvertently canceled by our system. We're very sorry about this. "
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:
Could you please give me an estimated date of when you may be able to ship this item? I would very much appreciate your help.
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.
Ranndy:Hi Xxxxx. I'll be happy to help you with this order
Me:thank you Ranndy
Ranndy:Yes, it has a high demand and it is currently out of stock unfortunately. Please bear with me a second, I'll try to get further information
Me: ok, thank you
Ranndy:Thanks for waiting, almost done
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.

Amazon know they got screwed by asus.
they're putting the money where their mouth is by offering free overnight.
Asus is oddly silent about this whole thing.

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.

Just called them this morning, did not even know they where going to be selling them. The said they filled pre orders on a first come first serve basis. I went to the store and pre-ordered there, and received my 32 GB champagne Tablet withen 20 minutes.
*NOTE* they only have the 32 GB Champagne color.
Unfortunately it is a Christmas gift, so I will not be able to give any information on it.
EDIT: They will apparently ship even though it says in store pickup online. Just use the Chat.
When are they shipping?

its an electronics store in illinois. damnit!
Wow - shows them as in stock and available for in store purchase! They are about 1 hr away from me. I should hop in the car and head over there.
Yes i have received the prime.
I went there with no pre-order and did like a switch-a-roo and pre-ordered it in store just so i can be on the list of people that can pick one up.
They only have a store in the Chicago-Land area unfortunately.

Well if you live in Illinois you might be lucky enough to get a Champagne model. They definitely don't have the Grey in-store yet.
I just called for an online order and I was told I'd have to wait until mid-January if I ordered from them.

They told me in store that they would receives a trickle of tablets everyday so I'd call every day as they seem to be the most helpful.
I bought mine from Kevin if that helps.
they charged my card and sent me an invoice.. my guess is tomorrow i will get a notice that it will not ship and i will be out the money and have to wait for them to refund my money.
This is getting ridiculous. They are showing up in flashes at places we never expected from all the announcements, then they are gone before anyone can react!
I've never chased a pre-order like this before - completely out of control....

Got an order in with a CSR. Started an online chat session right after I saw this thread open. Originally the CSR said that they didn't have any of the models in, but then said he'll check one more time.
After a couple minutes, he told me they had 5 left of the Champagne 32gb only. They had originally received 15, but 10 were accounted for by preorder.
He then gave me his telephone number and told me to call right away.
I called, and we went ahead with the order. Luckily, I've already been an ABT customer, so all my info was in the system. Just had to give them my credit card info.
Chose 2-day shipping, and was told I should get it on Friday.
I received a PDF invoice through email, but my order isn't showing up online yet ( crosses fingers).
This is absolutely crazy. I've had preorders in at 5 or 6 retailers, and it's come down to this?
The funny thing is, I was just shipped a gray dock yesterday from Best Buy. Gray dock and Champagne tablet? lol.

I wanna know what that combo looks like. I think it would look pretty good personally
I didn't pre-order from amazon.
I ordered on the 19th after cancelling my newegg pre-order.
Just got this email. Same date for my dock as well. I think these just might ship with ICS
Hello,
We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on December 19, 2011 (Order# 103-8767212-xxxxxxx):
"ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-CG 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Champagne)"
Estimated arrival date: January 26, 2012 - February 09, 2012
I got the same email. I may just give up on this tablet :-/
I really think Asus is doing some quiet back tracking and recalling a lot of these tablets that was sent to US.
This would explain why the local Best Buy's in my area were quite confident that they're shipment was going to be here by the 19th and soon changed their tune to that they didn't know how soon they would get them and that they were suppose to get them earlier but Asus pulled their shipment and they've pulled their new shipment.
I really think that story from Canada about the faulty Primes were true and Asus is being super hush about it with in regards to the US.
This is why there have been so few sold here following the launch.

I assume they figure early adopters wouldn't give a crap. Which they rarely do. I'm just glad we're going to get a next rev tablet. Maybe we'll see an improvement. Maybe they'll carve a hole out of that aluminum slab to fit a proper antenna.
Screw Amazon
OK guys, amazon messed us up big time. So what I suggest we all do is, wait for them to credit us the 10 dollar they promised and then cancel any orders you have with them and go to another place.
I mean I got my prime from gamestop last night, but still have 2 on preorder from amazon. They got the nerve to send us an email and say we can preorder again and we waited til midnight to do it, and we got the same date as people ordering much later. That's so not right. You'd think they would have it sooner. So by friday you all should be getting the 10 dollar amazon promised. If not call them and as soon as you get it. Drop the preorder.

WoW, if they don't tell you early they are not informing you and if they wait till the last minute they aren't being honest.
Curious to know, were you planning on buying 2 preorders from Amazon or were you going to cancel one or both so they would have to change their inventory allotment again for distribution of preorders? (hint about wherein lies at least part of the problem)

I originally ordered only one from amazon, but seeing as they can flip out and cancel you anytime I thought it would be safe to pick one of each just in case. You see how they perpetuated the problem?

Ok, interesting response. Did Amazon cancel your preorder? Also you addressed my second statement but not my first. This is curiousity only on my part.

To answer your question I don't see how they perpetuated a problem. Which problem are you refering to?

Amazon also said that it was an accident... I'm not on either side here as I already know I'm probably not getting one til next year but I want correct things being argued over.

To answer your number 2 question. I order 2, but intend on only keeping one, whichever was available first. At that point I also rushed to preorder at other sites because I had only originaly ordered one from amazon. Seeing as how amazon canceled my order and seeing how there is delays everywhere, I decited to order from several different places hoping that I would get one of them. You see, if Amazon would keep my ONE order, I would not have to run all over the place ordering everywhere else, including reordering 2 from amazon hoping to get one. It turns out that I did get one from gamestop, which now will force me to cancel both amazon orders. You think I like buying from gamestop? I hate them, and I also hate paing taxes. I could have saved by buying from amazon, which I want to, but they have failed me and they failed again on the second preorder sending me back to the end of the line.
Got your 10 dollar from amazon?
Were some of you promised 10 dollars? Have you got it?
I am having trouble believeing it, but it's true. I JUST got off with a supervisor at ABES:
Just got off my THIRD call with Dishonest ABE.
They don't have a SINGLE KEYBOARD DOCK IN THEIR WAREHOUSE OF EITHER COLOR!!! I don't know about tablets, but I had:
Call 1: "Processing" should be all set
Call 2: "Uh, we ill have them in 4-6 days, should go out Tuesday Wednesday of last week" - This was where I get REALLY concerned.....
Call 3: - Supervisor: The guy TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE THEM, but it fell through, and we don't know WHEN we are going to have them."
"Then why did you put "AVAILABLE" on your site, instead of Coming soon, pre-order - 4-6 days, etc..."
"Cause he said.... " I was like oh **** YOU I am so sick of these BS lies. You put AVAILABLE when you HAVE THEM... NOT BEFORE ****head!!!
It's BS. They either have NONE or got a few and freaking oversold just like Amazon, Best Buy and the rest of the free world. Is Asus distribution channel run by insane asylum escapees or WHAT????? The one common element here os ASUS. Certainly all of these retailers didn't go eveil overnight or something (though some ALWAYS were, BestBuy)
I am LIVID... Now out comes my poison email to ANOTHER CEO AND CORPORATE OFFICES... WHY must I go through this
The rude **** ended with, so: I'm gonna cancel your order anyway, even if you tell me not to (I said, you want to repeat that for my recording, I want to make sure it's clearly heard.
Sorry, I double posted, but wanted to help stop people from ordering here. We have had enough of ths from the rest of the channel, no need to stay bent over for more... MAN!
Thank god Citi declined my transaction.
Same here. About a week, they said. Cancel, I said. Bastids.

Wish I'd seen this before I ordered.
I just got off the phone with these liars. I told him the order page is back to saying 2-3 days, he apologized for the misinformation said it'd be about 1-2 weeks.
Think I'm going to find another source and cancel on these vermin.
As far as I can tell no merchant has them in-stock right now so it's really ASUS who's slow on the delivery of these. They obviously weren't shipping keyboards in conjunction with the tablets.
Just can't trust a company that says "Of Maine" yet is in NYC
My order status changed to "sent to warehouse" last night. Having no idea what that means, I called, and was told that they have it, it is being prepped to ship today, will be sent tomorrow AM, and I should have my dock on Wednesday.
Sorry some of you got shafted, but they do/did have some in stock.

Fwiw, I ordered Thursday, immediately after seeing the "in stock" thread. That is likely the difference. I do not understand this manager saying it is not there though, uless he meant that it is coming in today, and the OP's place in line didn't make the cut for place in line versus items received. The swearing probably didn't help either, even though I fully empathize on the frustration level. :-\

Don't know where to go from here. No body had any in-stock last I checked. Gamestop had no date, and neither did Amazon.
Like a few others, I ordered late Thurs night when the status was "available ". My credit card was charged Friday, I was notified it was "in process" for 1-3 days, now today my status shows "shipped to warehouse ". I am confident in will get mine in a day or two. Am I pleased I paid $40 for express shipping and it's going to take 4 or 5 business days? No. But I think did not read where it clearly states it cn take 1-3 days to process so that is on me.
I'm sorry for those of you who ordered when it said "available " and aren't getting yours. I blame their stock tracking/ordering software more than the company being "dishonest ", I really doubt they tried to intentionally screw anyone. They actually seem like one of the few able to make deliver and are being up front about when they will get future stock.

Suckage
What is the status of your order, was your cc charged, did/does it show as shipped to warehouse?
I bought my pad off of newegg.com last thursday. They have been showing up periodically, only when they actually have stock availible. In most states they don't charge sales tax and they ship very quick. I'm seeing only the grey docking station listed on their site at the moment but it is out of stock. All you can do is keep checking periodically as they will show up but sell really fast. But at least if you see it's in stock and buy it, you'll get it. This is one of the most reputable sites on the net.
No idea, I just called them and told Mike ( I guess...ext. 2 from the email) I wanted to cancel...
Go thru phone menu, hit ext. 2
Hold
Abes...hello ages of Maine
Me....I liked to cancel my Asus order
Abes ...what's your order number

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No "oversold" email yet and it shows shipped to warehouse.
It's not like I'm out anything if it does cancel - I've not seen any others available or I would have ordered more for friends/backup anyway. If it gets canceled I get my money back and continue the search and wait. If I'd ordered the damn Grey to begin with this wouldn't be a problem, I would have both from BB, but I ordered champagne.

If it gets canceled I get my money back and continue the search and wait. If I'd ordered the damn Grey to begin with this wouldn't be a problem, I would have both from BB, but I ordered champagne.

don't cancel, you probably are going to get it.
I never seen the "shipped to warehouse" status, I only got "In Process" when I ordered.
I'm not canceling mine either despite receiving the two emails that they oversold. In part because he still gave an end time of when they will get more in, while the other online retailer don't provide any info when they will get more in.

But I think did not read where it clearly states it cn take 1-3 days to process so that is on me.

perhaps us over here in Blighty are not so hard done by after all!! Whilst we are yet to get the TFP we will get it with the dock and our retailers do not normally tale 2-3 days to process an order as we can order of some sites up until 8-10pm and still get next day delivery.
Now I am seeing the positives of living on a "small island" as Bill Bryson would say.
ps by the time we get ours; ICS will allready be installed and we will be looking forward to jammy dodgers, jam roly poly or Javvarisi Avul Payasam
I thought Newegg was a big Asus dealer? Way it sounds, I am assuming not.
I have been told that they were receiving shipments on December 27 for pre-orders. Then it was pushed to today. Now I am being told that within the next two business weeks, they will be receiving confirmation of when they will receive more.
I guess on the bright side, no one else is getting them either, but doesn't sound like NE got that many to begin with.
Today mine got to the office depot warehouse after ordering on the 20th. 1/5 delivery date. I had been checking up on new egg as well and they never have any updates.

They still haven't shipped the Grey ones that said 12/27???
That really sucks... I'm glad I canceled and was able to get the champagne one through them

According to them for circumstances beyond their control, they never got them. They will know within 2 weeks when they supposed to get more.
The only reason I am sticking with Newegg is I have a $300 and some change credit.
I might the bullet and pre-order somewhere else and play the waiting game
Newegg is so clueless!
Preordered the Prime on 12/07, 32G Grey.
Was first told Dec 27, they would have some to ship for preorders. Was then told January 3.
I called them today and was told that they will have confirmation of receiving more within next two weeks.
Hung up the phone and went to Newegg less than 5 minutes after my call and low and behold the 32G grey and champagne was in stock ready to order. And they had a limited offer of a free Asus Carrying case as well.
Ordered and have been charged and is currently in packaging status.
I am pissed because the preorder people have been hung out to dry. Should not be able to just go to site and order if preorders have not been fulfilled.
Did anyone else get a free carrying case as well? My order doesn't show it, but it was there and I will raise hell if I don't get it after what we have been through.
Couldn't post this in the newegg thread?
