I hate these Facebook contests.
I never enter because I'm worried it'll somehow spam my friends with bull****.
This has also already been posted here by an Asus campus rep. He offered up some extra prizes. I recommend finding that thread if you want to enter.
maybe since my preorder will never come I can get lucky and win one..... lol

thats a delay email, not cancellation.
mostly because it will be after 12/25 delivery.
wrong title.
Sorry to hear, OP. Many of us have received a few similar emails.
There we go! So NCIX wasn't crazy for sending the same email a few days earlier. Maybe it's just a Canada thing... Only time will tell...

memory express sent them as well and I emailed and asked for clarification and got this
Originally we were supposed to get them on the 6th of December. According to Asus they are shipping on the 15th which means in theory we should have them on or after Christmas day.

I'd bet that to serve the U.S., Asus probably has a contract with a logistics company that they drop ship to who then manages and distributes inventory on their behalf. Because of the smaller volume in Canada they may ship directly from Taiwan. That would explain why "shipping on the 15th" may or may not make it before X-Mas.
I just got an email from amazon.com:
"Hello,

My Bestbuy order hasn't shipped yet! At least it doesn't say it has.
Got the same email this morning. Money was also taken from my credit card. I'm stoked!
wow i'm kicking myself for ordering the amethys as well
Come on Amazon get the 64GB out!!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I ordered on the 22nd, but no email for me. Chatted with Amazon and they say it still shows a Jan 10th delivery for me. Maybe because I changed the delivery to next day air, but I would think that they would still keep my order placement rather than put to the back of the line.
Just out of curisoty, can you give pieces of your order number so I can see where I ended up comparied to you?
If I had to guess, and I love guessing this ****, but depending on what Amazon has coming in will probably be posted in order. Hopefully the 64 GB start posting later today.
Told yu'all yesterday, the Amazon billing rep. told me my order (64 GB Grey) would be shipping "very soon." Sure hope he was right.
Wonder how long it'll be before Gamestop sends me my matching dock???
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Same. Out of curious, were you a Prime customer too?
Any Canadian Primes shipped yet? Isn't Tigerdirect Canadian or something?
When I talked to an Amazon rep. yesterday, I was first told my 64gb grey would ship in Jan. Then I brought up that i was concerned about some people saying it would ship next week and I would be out of town. The rep. then suggested I keep a close eye on my email for a shipping status in the next week. So i asked if that meant it would ship next week and the rep. said they didn't want to say for sure and give false hope. not sure why they have been keeping so quiet about this but it sounds like they've known for a while.
I am a amazon prime member and my membership expires 23th December. Maybe that's one of the reasons amazon is shipping to me the prime on time

Could it just be 32gb champagne colors?

Potentially. I fit in this category and mine is preparing to ship.
Also a prime member, if it matters.
I'm a prime member, but ordered a 64GB grey. Haven't heard a peep yet.
My re-ordered 11/22 pre-order will ship between jan 25-feb 8.
This is obviously not Amazons fault as they are just a seller without stock. Blame Asus if anything.
Ditto.

I just had a chat with an amazon cs rep.
You are now connected to Michael from Amazon.com.
Me:I have not recieved my $10 Amazon.com gift card code for the transfromer prime I have on pre order. I was sent and email on 12/18/11 that indicated that i should of recieved it in a few days.
Michael:Hello! My name is Michael. How have you been XXXX?
Me:I'm good
Michael:I am glad to hear it!
I'll be happy to help you out with this question. let me just see what has happened with the $10.00 gift-card you have not been sent.
Do you have handy the order number XXXX?
Me:002-218XXXX-XXXXXXX
Michael:Thank you! Let me take a look it, please.
Me:Ok
Michael:I'm sorry it's taking so long, I'll be right with you.
Me:Okay
Also can you verify the delivery date for this order?
Michael:Sure! I will
Me:Thank you
Michael:You're welcome!
I 'm still checking was has happened with the gift-card, in the meantime, I'd like to let you know that the estimated delivery date is Jan 26- Feb 9, 2012, this is because usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks.
Me:Okay so that is when you expect to get in your next shipment or do you think they could come in sooner?
Michael:Let me check on that as well, please
I seems that yes, it's expected to be delivered between that time-frame, but chances are that it takes less than, but i Cannot assure you anything
One more question XXXX, when you placed the order you were promised the gift-card, weren't you?
Me:Yes I was. For $10.
Michael:Thank you! let me continue researching because I just see a promo for FREE One-Day Shipping.
Me:It was in the email that sent to me on 12/18/11.
Michael:Thanks, that will help a lot.
I just got it, let me check on that, it was because I thought it was on another order, sorry!
Me:Okay
Michael:Thanks
Thank you for waiting XXXX! It seems that within these days you'll be getting the $10 Amazon.com Gift Card code, yet if by Friday you have not gotten it, which I do not think so, please contact us back to get this solved.
Me:Okay thank you.
Michael:You're welcome. Was there anything else I could help you with today?
Me:Nope that is all I had. Thank you.
Michael:You are welcome! Thanks for contacting Amazon, we hope to see you again soon.
Have a nice day!
my black sleeve arrives tomorrow. so... cool! ill just sit and stare at the box for the next month.
I didn't have a pre-order.
I Just ordered it from amazon after I cancelled my newegg pre-order.
My 32CH tablet date isn't listed, but my dock date is Jan 26th - Feb 8th.
Geez
Yes, I got the same damn email. I can't beleive we're the same people getting screwed over and over while others who have ordered after us have gotton it or better dates. If I don't get my 10 dollar by friday I'll be calling too. Keep us posted on the 10 dollar. If I get my prime from gamestop on friday, I'm going to wait until I get the 10 dollar and then cancel the amazon orders I have.
Luckily it may not aggrevate me as bad anymore after today. I also replace my dying evo4g with a galaxy s2 and that is out for delivery today. Maybe this will keep my mind off the prime.
ditto :/ :/
Sorry to barge in but did anyone find that Amazon employee's writing difficult to read. It looked like it was written by a child in parts. Wouldn't surprise me if Amazon was employing special kids with the way they've handled their pre-orders.

Probably Indian folks or a procedureally generated response by the Amazon Artificial Intelligence system. The errors in typing is put there on purpose to fool you into thinking it's a human being you're talking to.
Yup, got that email this morning from Amazon. Seems like the accidental order cancellation and the gracious offer to re-pre-order still doesn't mean much unless they are way conservative on the timing of the 2012 shipments.
If I had never planned on getting this and not preordered on Nov 22 and just now heard about the Prime I'd be OK with waiting a few more weeks. But all the hype about release dates, open preorders in November, promises of Dec 8, Dec 19, Dec 23 from all over just chaps me.
I cannot believe in this day and age of computerized distribution, massive amounts of data collection, that these retailers AND Asus cannot freakin figure out how many items are enroute, in stores, being shipped, on trucks, etc... Are they using an abacus to keep track of inventory? Apologies for the rant
I preorderd on Nov 22 (32GB Champagne) and did not get canceled.... still having to wait until Jan 12th to get mine. However my dock is scheduled for the 6th

Probably USPS.
My original ship date was 1/25-2/8 but now its pushed back two additional days. Gah.
Mine, preordered on nov 22, says estimated is Jan. 25 to Feb 14!!! What is up with that? Is there anyway to contact asus directly and find out what the status is on these? They said they expected inventory to reach normal levels in jan which hopefully includes the 64gb prime..
Did anyone actually get the $10 gift certificate mentioned in the Amazon apology/re-order e-mail?

I didn't get it until I called and complain to them about it. You may have to do the same. I had 2 primed on backordered. After they gave me my 10 bucks I canceled both of them. Tired of putting to the back of the line and poor customer service. They don't deliver.
Not re-order, but pre-ordered. Wow, that sucks for a lot of you. I pre-order on DEC.22 (very recent), scheduled to deliver on Jan 25th. Grey 64gb. We'll see.
32 gray went from Jan 25 to next Tuesday!

Wow, I canceled my Amazon order to get it from BB... it'll come here on 1/4.
Should've kept the order with Amazon
Thanks for info. Whew. Just in time to cancel my order. Wouldve been PITA later.
(FYI, I placed the order on December 18, not part of the November presale)
Just checked my order status and my pre-order from ~11:25 PM on 12/18 (35 minutes before the 32 GB grey re-pre-orders were supposed to officially start) is due to arrive on 1/3.

I'm confused. You're canceling your order because it is going to ship sooner?
I assume you bought it somewhere else, and no longer need your preorder on Amazon?
Ah, it seems as though if I use my southern California delivery address, the order would arrive on 12/30. If I use my address in New Jersey where I am now, the order would arrive on 1/3. This is regardless of having one-day shipping for both options. Different distribution centers?
I hurried and checked my email/amazon order status, lol. I order on Dec 20th, not with the pre-sale or previous 1st pre-order batch and my Previous estimated arrival date: January 25, 2012 - February 08, 2012 and still is showing estimated arrival date as the same, no change
Maybe because I ordered the 64gb grey, not the 32gb. But congrats! I'm praying I get the same email, for an earlier arrival date,
What about the dock?
As for the tab, I saved $1 with Newegg and it's coming on the 30th.
Looks like those of us who ordered the 64GB are screwed. I ordered on Dec. 13th from Amazon and still stuck at the original ETA.

Yep, ordered on 22 Nov, and am counting myself lucky to still have an 10 Jan ETA. Interesting strategy ASUS has to bone the folks who were willing to pay the premium for the step up.
I think Amazon got some more units, which is why people are getting these "Good news!" emails.
I predict as Amazon bumps up their supply, more people will start seeing "Good news!" emails. Hopefully though, with people canceling their Amazon pre-orders to get ones from BB, OD, Staples, DataVis, B&H, J&R, Newegg or TD, Amazon will be able to supply more units to those who have already pre-ordered.
I say that because Amazon hasn't been updating their web page to tell people they have more in stock like BB is doing with each new shipment.
I order a pair, one champagne and one black silver, both 32gb. Only got the good news email for the champagne order. Will be delivered by Dec 30 (which is tomorrow!!). No tax from Amazon. Good thing I waited. Yay.
When did you order them?

Right, and no official word from ASUS either. I think I'm close to canceling and waiting for the iPad 3 in late Feb. The mixed reviews around here don't help either, I was so hyped for this thing reading all of the official reviews.

Haven't been this excited aou a phone since the announcement of the Galaxy Note 2. I loved the size and pen capability but I am ready for a normal sized phone again.
This will probably be the first phone I ever keep for longer than 6 months haha. I don't see anything better coming for at least a year so I will finally be at peace with my phone.
I also finally locked in my laptop system with the Microsoft Surface Pro. So between the two I won't be looking for another device for at least a year. (first time I can ever remember saying that).
So wait, you got Overnight from them?
Seriously, ATT is a bunch of ****ing douches. I spoke to 3 different people trying to get overnight, a credit for no Wifi Media Adapter. Anything. Dicks. I swear, they are a useless ****ing company.
Threads are getting out of hand. There are already multiple ones regarding tricking/order status....
No it wasn't overnighted.
