Staples Canada delay!! - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I just talked to CSR on the phone and the girl informed me there's a delay on this tablet and won't be available until the end of December.

Is Asus giving Canadia the big middle finger and routing stock to the US? Let's hope so. Sorry you are delayed man.
~prays to the Gamestop Gods to keep it all together...

Someone in the Frys thread said he/she got a call from Frys saying that ASUS has indeed delayed shipments until the wifi issue is fixed.
Gack.

I'm about to tell this chick in my avatar to pull the trigger if i hear real confirmation that they are all delayed. Just a warning to whoever posts near me...lol

According to users who have been getting delay emails from multiple sources (Adorama, Frys, Amazon) it seems that this will affect the US.

I know its true. I've been a horrible selfish bastard. I want to wish luck to all of our northern brothers in getting their Primes before the holidays.
But Asus, if you are rerouting Canadian orders somewhere, please make it to U.S. Gamestop locations in west Texas. Thank you.

Actually, I just got a call from the President of Bestbuy in response to an email I sent a few days ago. He apologized for all of the unavoidable confusion and told me that they are going to next-day ship my Prime to me, as soon as it clears Canadian customs.

Time to call the border and make sure they don't let any of those primes through from Canada!
Surprised they end up going through Canada to get to the states though.

I ordered mine from Best Buy Canada and I have double confirmation that they have some stock but not shipping until Dec 20 as they say they can't ship it until it is officially released. So it doesn't seam Best Buy is redirecting products to the US.

Great news! Now all we need is to hear from the smaller companies (ie NCIX, Staples, ect) and we can finally put this whole Canada-wide delay thing aside.

Are your double confirmations from someone reliable like a manager at least? Anyone like CSRs or emails cannot be trusted.

I have a spend alert feature on my credit card, it tells me of any purchases over $200. I have had two holds on my credit since I have preordered it but it doesn't set off the spend alert. Today they money was withdrawn so I phoned Best Buy to see if it was being shipped soon since the money was actually withdrawn. They looked up my order and said that my tablet on their computer says it was in stock and was told it should be sent out soon. They said they would send me my order status by email. I got an email that said the same thing and then later I received another email stating that they would not ship my order until after the official release date. It was scheduled to ship on 20th. So I'm hoping it is legit.

Hmm...
Just checked, New-egg.com US website still showing ETA of 12/27- They are a major electronics e-tailer here in the US, so I am "cautiously optimistic" that something may change and they receive stock and ship at or around the same time as Best-Buy on 12/18. They haven't sent any e-mails or any updates since they changed the original ship date from 12/8 to 12/27..... Just a ray of hope is all I have left to cling to..... what has become of me??? I ask myself- will my prime ever arrive to save the day???

Transcript from Live Chat with Newegg Rep 12/15/11
My Transcript from Live Chat with Newegg Rep on 12/15/11:
( I may have slightly exaggerated ship date from best buy just to see what they would say)
Victor: Hi, my name is Victor. How may I help you?
ME: Asking for update on my pre-order status... any update on when this item will ship from newegg???
ME: Best-Buy has notified they will be shipping this item before the end of the week, and that Asus will have stock available for all supply chains this week- any updated information will be appreciated on the ETA of shipping on my preorder of this item.- Thank you
Victor: I'd be happy to help you with that. May I please have a moment to look into this for you?
ME: sure , thank you very much
Victor: You are welcome.
Victor: Thank you very much for holding. I show the ETA is 12/27/2011, once the item was released the pre-order will transfer to a normal order to process.
ME: is this ETA set in stone for pre-orders, or is there a possibility it may ship sooner if stock arrives?
Victor: Its an ETA of release date. Once the item release, the pre-order will transfer to normal order to process
ME: thank you for your time- I appreciate the support, I will end the session.
* I was surprised not to get anything else... He did say it was an ETA, so take this as you will.
Given that Newegg posted the 12/27 ETA over a week ago when it seemed that no retailer had any idea when they'd be arriving, I don't see how the date could be set in stone. It's unfortunate that no one at customer service has any idea what's going on, but since I haven't heard that date from any other seller, I'm assuming it's pretty meaningless. Just wish I knew whether there's any chance we'll get them before Xmas.
I think we should call their warehouse
Here is the number for their south California warehouse as they are the only ones listed as a will call pickup warehouse
(626) 271-1580
Someone please call

The ones saying 2-3 weeks have not eve been validated yet. So those are the back ordered or delayed orders.

I think this indicates that Sprint sold a lot.more phones than anticipated and had to cut wirefly short to meet their own obligation. Wirefly orderers should have been concerned when they hit the order button but they should especially be concerned about the s 4 shortage.

Nexus 10: Local Store Availability

Thread for reporting local availability in a store. Only post here if you have found it available somewhere: best not clutter it with multiple posts of "I've checked store A, B and C and they don't have it yet".
Summary
Confirmed Reports
Staples (US confirmed) are taking pre-orders from 2012-11-17, for delivery at the end of December(!): http://www.staples.com/Nexus-10-32GB-Tablet-from-Google-Pre-Sale/product_117496
Unconfirmed Reports
None currently
Word of advise, make sure you are clear what you are looking for. No employees at Walmart knew what the 10 was. They all thought I meant the 7.

This thread is justified. The other main thread regarding this is mostly for those who bought theirs from google play. I for one have called all local walmarts and office depots and no one at any store has any idea at all.
Yeah I agree. I'm definitely looking to pick one up in-store after hearing about all of Google's online shop shenanigans.

Dont believe anything Currys/PC World is telling anyone. I suspect they are saying those things in the hope people will wait and buy from them.
Heres an idea. Ring the Customer Sales line 5 times, you will get 5 different answers.
They havent got a clue.
When I went in to my Local Curry's, the Manager told me he didnt even know when the Nexus 7 was coming in untill his stock arrived by courier.
Gamestop has it listed in their system but no release yet as of a few days ago when I inquired in-store while pre-ordering a Neo-Geo X Gold bundle & an additional arcade stick (woohoo!!!). FWIW, I inquired at a local wally world & they had no clue what I was talking about as they thought I was referring to the N7 also although I did see the shelf sticker listing for it. He scanned the barcode & it wasn't in-stock yet.
There was a spare place on the display rack at local Walmart here in Salt Lake City. Label on shelf had Samsung GT-whatever, which after checking the internet, corresponded to the N10. $499. Asked but no one had a clue. Maybe it'll be in stock by the weekend?

Looks like it might be longer than we thought for retail N10 availability.
The retailer will be selling the 32GB Nexus 10 for $499. The device will be available for pre-sale at all Staples stores, and on the company's website. It is expected to ship between Dec. 23 and 30, and will take 2-3 business days for delivery, Staples said.

I preordered mine late in the day around 8pm on 9/7/13 at best buy in California.
The guy told me they were open for preorders the day before but I was still the first one to preorder.
They had papers lying around everywhere so everyone knew they were taking preorders and had a samsung rep answering questions.
I just called my local Best Buy. Rep said I could put $50 down towards the purchase price as a pre-order, but he had no launch date. Apparently Utah's Best Buys know something they don't here. Nothing new. We're the last to know in the South

Ha..that's why i asked for a Samsung rep! 4 of the 5 best buyers didn't have an answer, one even said sometime end of oct!
the one rep actually looked at 2 different systems for me and said the same oct 4th...
i sure hope so!
The Sprint Note 3 has a street date of October 4th. None of the other ones have been determined so far. That also doesn't guarantee that best buy will have it that soon for Sprint but just means they are sellable on the 4th for Sprint.

Went and played with the AT&T GN3 at BestBuy on Friday, it surprisingly felt smaller in hand than the GN2 (coming from a GNex). The Samsung guy there, Charlotte NC, was sticking to the 10th for Vz.
I pre-ordered from BestBuy so hopefully they receive it on the 10th.
Thread cleaned lightly. Users need to be reminded to always be respectful in any and all posts.

CSR's are STILL unable to tell me if the device will launch tomorrow at their stores. I did not pre-order as I am unsure whether or not i'll keep it; they return the $50.00 preorder fee as a gift card, (which I have no use for). Even BB chat was unable to provide any reassurance anybody care to shed light?
