HP TouchPad Alert
==============================
Dear /,
Thank you for signing up to be alerted to HP TouchPad inventory updates.
We last contacted you about the HP TouchPad bundles in early
November. Those bundles sold out in mere minutes.
We just received a small shipment of HP TouchPads that will be
made available, Thursday, December 15th, at 2:30pm Eastern Time.
They will only be available on our website by going to the following link:
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaig...TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2933-_-tigeremail
Our call center does NOT have access to this inventory. Again,
you can only purchase the TouchPads online by going to
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaig...TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2933-_-tigeremail
Now, we DO NOT have enough HP TouchPads to satisfy everyone who
has signed up to get these HP TouchPad alerts. So, we wanted to
give you a quick heads up before it goes live Today at 2:30pm ET.
Remember, it's likely to sell out within about 30 minutes, if not
sooner.
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaig...TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2933-_-tigeremail
In the event you try to purchase and it sells out, just know
we're continuing to try to source more HP Touchpads bundles. As
soon as we get more, we will send you a quick email to let you
know. Be assured we are working aggressively to get more.
===============================
WHAT DO I GET?
- HP 32GB TouchPad
- Belkin 10.1" Tablet Case
- Creative Labs D80 Bluetooth Speakers
All for just $249.99.
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaig...TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2933-_-tigeremail
===============================
EXPECTATIONS
Due to overwhelming demand for this product, it's expected to
sell out in less than 30 minutes. That means that it may say
"SOLD OUT" before 3pm. Also, we're limiting this inventory to
one unit per customer. Sorry. No rainchecks. No backorders.
Once we sell out, that's it.
===============================
QUICK RECAP:
Limited Quantity of HP TouchPads
Available at 2:30pm eastern 12/15/11
Only available online at:

Too bad you have to buy the other items with the Touchpad.
true, there have been better bundles.. but again.. 250$ for everything is still a great price..
I'm from Europe and around here there was no chance to get one @ Firesale price.. I had to pay 250€ just for the TP and a case... which still seems to be an pretty good deal to me
Thanks,
Even though they overcharge for crap you don't need, I'll still be buying one!
This deal may sell out in seconds, make sure you're sitting at your pc ready to go when it hits.
true.. monitoring the website with browser addons might also help.. I use page monitor when using chrome, which alerts me when the page is updated..
but better be prepared.. would even consider reading through the thread from the guy who wasnt able to snag one from ebay.. some people wrote down how they were able to purchase one even though they had severe problems again..
Isn't 2.30pm eastern time in 10 minutes, if so why does the countdown still show over 5 hours to go?

haven't been able to go online and watch the whole sale.. but sometimes countdown isnt showing correct.. guess that they had server issues again..
for what I see the whole sale is over now, and everything is sold out, so the sale definately took place..
Were you able to grab one?
I was just able to add one to my cart, and the checkout area says "in-stock".
Edit: The 249 one. The 299 bundle is showing as out.

I was able to add the 299 bundle to my cart just now and it showed in green text that it was in stock.
I was looking at the printer and on the right side of the page it had a link for the bundle.
I added it to cart thinking it was going to say "error" or "out of stock" but nope, let me through.
Oh well, I purchased the 249 bundle shortly after reading this post.
They still had the $249 bundle 20 minutes ago, I almost sprung for one on ebay last night, I really want that wider portrait view you get with these that the Asus and Acer lack, now see if it gets shipped
Well that's great to hear
I thought I might me too late on forwarding this..
and yeah, I too prefer it's portrait over that of Acer or Asus
I ordered one today at 3:40pm ET, and I got the order confirmed and I was surprised. I ready to buy something else and had almost given up on the touchpad. I just hope they dont cancel my order.

Update:
The company has since confirmed they will go on sale at all three stores online from 6pm, and in store tomorrow morning.
The 16GB version will be £89, down from £349, while the 32GB version will be £115, down from £429. He stressed there would be "limited stock".
Webb also added the company would be offering refunds to those who paid the full price.

Any idea if other retailers (Amazon UK, Ebuyer, etc.) will follow suit?

Refreshing the dixons.co.uk TouchPad page every minute or two now
If it runs Android soon...
I think they have sold out before even lowering the price as people buy at full price in order to get the refund.
Bummer
Paul
If that's happened...noooooo!
The product pages keep going up/down, not too sure why though.
As of writing the 16GB page is up - 32GB one says unavailable.
would love one - not sure if I am allowed to spend £90 though
Dixons - Sorry, this product is currently not available.

Patience my young padawans.
i have amazon,official hp,dixons,pc world/curries ,bestbuy,expansys and twitter tabs open and refreshing every 30 sec....... have i missed any? i will likely be getting both16 and 32 versions any one else getting both the versions?
at dixons 32GB one is 115 now!
cant seem to get one though. the site is unusably laggy, and if the product page actually loads, it says unavailable. anyone got one so far?
No all seems a bit iffy to me...
Paul
Would it be better to go in store or buy online? I'm thinking buy in store because online can be dodgy at times.
this is proper laggy, I'm trying to pay for one.#
Update: god dam it!!! got to the address screen which then took me back to the main screen with an empty basket!!!
Just a poll to see where people in the UK have got their TouchPad's from.
EDIT: If you choose Somewhere else please list it in the thread. Thanks!
I've voted under Play.com - but order went through at full price of £349
don't know whether they are now sold out at full price
and don't know whether I'd be able to argue them down to reduced price once it arrives, or whether I'll have to return it.
I'm not keeping at at £260 more than everyone else!!
I'm a 'Somewhere Else'
Today I got my 32Gb for £115 inc VAT through work. Luckily for me I work for a Trade Only IT disti. It's coming on the lorry Thursday, with a hundred or so others for all the guys and gals here (at the office). TouchPad's will outnumber iPads here
Looking forward to this...
Staples online, and had phone call to confirm it (they are doing fraud checks on all orders apparently, and I got my confirmation after the call)

As I said, UK only. Sorry.
I can't add or change the options anyway
I bought over the phone from Carphone Warehouse, so I had to vote "other".
Work for a distributor and they put 50 of each aside in our office for people to buy. Went pretty sharply!
....waiting on the Pre 3 now *wink* *wink*
what a well designed poll when most people are "other"
wow only 21 people have got one?
Voters: 21
Just got one from Argos. Really nice tablet, want to overclock it straight away.

Yeah I know . I've been playing around with it for 30 minutes and it's a steal at this price. Not worth £350 though. I heard HP were getting another batch in, so I'd be surprised if everyone who wanted one didn't get one. The IPS panel really is beautiful.
Hope you all get one soon.
got mine from comet £89 got email plus a call confirming a september 5th delivary
Insight UK, got 4 for work n play! Only 90 quid each for 16GB ones!!
Just hoping touchdroid or android player comes reality!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Managed to get mine from carphone warehouse, they had already sold out but I persuaded them to locate a couple for me. Received them today, very happy with it so far, the touchpad has massive potential.
edit: argos told me they still have stock left iin their warehouse
Staples uk has dispatched mine.
Mine shipped from Amazon themselves this afternoon. It`s a 32Gb one and still at £429.99 so might yet go back. Was ordered 10.30pm Monday got a "We know about the pricing. You`ll have to wait and see in 3-5 days for an answer."
reply to my email
happy enough to say I (almost) have one now from play.com - after the mega headache of 'wont drop the price' saga.
it should arrive tomorrow...
Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning
Hi guys, I though it would be a good idea to start a threat just for everyone who placed an order through Play.com UK and paid full price.
We can use this thread to keep everyone updated on the progress of their ordered, and any updates etc; whether they are able to get it at the discounted price, full refund, partial refund etc.
I ordered a 16GB this morning at 8:30am, and order was confimed at 2:44pm and sent to packing for delivery.
Price - £349
ordered at about 5am this morning
order confirmed at 05:57
packed at about 4pm this afternoon
16GB @ £349
Mailed them asking to cancel and advised I will source elsewhere for a much cheaper price... (I imagine its too late though)
Looks like Play.com are out of stock now. I can't find the HP touchpad 16/32gb anywhere on their site. It was there a few hours ago.
I'm also waiting on a Touchpad from play.com which I bought at full price earlier today.
My gut instinct having dealt with Play earlier on similiar issues is that we'll all be returning our TP's for a full refund
Still I'm going to remain optimistic..

I'd recommend not cancelling your order just yet.
you'll be in a better position to negotiate with them once you have the product.
If you cancel before they despatch it, they won't lose anything, they'll just send it to someone else who was able to place an order.
Once you've got it, hopefully we'll be in a better position a few days after all this commotion, and they may be willing to refund the difference.
otherwise they have to go through the hassle or receiving product back, and then arranging to sell it on - probably at the reduced price.
I'm going to wait to see if mine actually comes through, then assess the situation then.
If they don't openly offer the refund, I'll put a complaint to them, and to the FSA.
their returns policy gives you 7 days to request the return or raise an issue - this is different to 7 days to actually return the item to them.
The complaint etc could last as long as you want, as long as you raise the issue within 7 days.
we should have a strong argument if we refer them to the fact they were aware on Monday that the supplier had significantly reduced the price, and that a large number of supplier not just in UK, but all across the world had reduced their prices to fall in line, and they are being unfair against the consumer by acting this way.
We could also quote things we can get - regarding their comments on Monday evening that they were aware of the price discount and were working on it, yet they chose to do nothing.
Ordered as mine was in my cart, however at time of checkout it stated not in stock.
I doubt I'll get it. however I'm also one of the wait and see's
There may be hope for us yet.
In the US - HP have agreed to refund customers the difference of all ordered purchased within 60 days of the price change.
HP are also 'leaning' on companies to offer the price match themselves.
So if Play.com don't crumble under the pressure over the next few days - maybe there is hope from HP directly.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ne...efund-price-differences-for-early-buyers/3857
HP apparantly informed retailers on Monday that the prices will be reduced, and requested that all retailers offer to refund the difference in the sale price.
HP also advise that it can take a few days for all retailers to act on this.
called play.com in the end and they said it was too late to stop dispatch anyway (wanted to save myself a couple of £ in postage to be honest) - they have sent me my return code and marked it as potential return
so i still have to wait for it anyway...
but the chap I spoke to I did would they not do a price comparison, or are they even considering lowering the price but he said nope. Full refund or keep at full price basically.
@danlat1415 - do you have any of that information or anyway to process that with HP as I'll consider keeping it if thats the case! I wonder if we can ping an e-mail to HP pronto to try and get some clarification from them that we can apply for refunds if the retailer won't honour it...
If I was HP and I'd told everyone to cut the price on Monday, and found out retailers were basically ignoring them (probably to pocket the profits) I'd be a bit peeved -
out of this experience, I'll definitely not be considering Play.com for anything further apart from as a last resort...
sounds like @Analogue Dude has had a similar experience before... that's the feeling I am getting now too.
I'm looking into what HP are doing for UK customers and I'll keep you updated.
It's still very early, and once order are sent out and customers start complaining in large numbers - they may change their mind.
Also depends on what action HP take over the next few days.
Play.com don't want to get bad publicity, and if all other retailers are honouring the price change, it'll be bad for Play.com to try and profit from the limited stock they have - compare to the bad publicity they'll get.
I've been hunting around the net, and this isn't the only forum complaining about Play.com's decision, so strength in numbers...
I guess the only real outside chance of getting a partial refund is if every customer who bought a TP from them returns it this week. Hopefully the logistical nightmare/expense of checking every return will push Play into offering the refunds.
As I said earlier I doubt it happens though, Play are a horrible company to do business with, I haven't used them for years and if it wasn't for this deal I wouldn't have touched them with a foot long stylus.
I'd recommend anyone who has ordered from Play.com to complete the form on the attached link for the BBC Watchdog program.
we may not get anywhere with it, but it's best to put as much pressure as we can on Play.com to honour the discounted price.

Really hope so or HP kick their ass (which I doubt will happen)
I got the impression of a very non-caring company when I called them up - to be honest, I had a good impression of them before - but only used them a handful of times... I guess its because I never had to _deal_ with them properly before and just did an order which came and had no issues...

done that - not sure how much help it will give though...
i also wonder though is it worth putting in a 'request to return' with play for everyone's who order has dispatched ? its too late to cancel, but if they have a _lot_ of requests to return and the main reason being the stupid prices... ?
Don't suppose there is a HP email addy to send concerns to? Wonder if they can confirm or deny possible refunds...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
As far as I know, Argos and Play.com were the only two retailers that hadn't yet offered the lower price (whether it be for a limited time, like Amazon)
But Argos has this morning now caved in and reduced their prices to £89 and £115.
This will hopefully help in the fight against Play.com
they are now the only hightreet retailer trying to greatly profit from this sale.
I'm waiting for an update from HP and I'll let you know. Waiting to hear back from their press office.
So far they have only confirmed that they'll refund direct customers, and credit the retailers.
Just waiting to find out if their credit customers of retailers who are refusing to refund the difference.
(if the retailer are being credited by HP, then they are severely taking advantage of the customer.)
As more developments happen each day, hopefully by the time the Touchpads arrive it'll all either be sorted or a lot clearer.
had an email from play.com this morning saying they would not refund the difference and only option was to keep or send it back for a full refund.... will post the email in a few
was looking for an e-mail form for hp too to submit my disappointment with play
Thank you for your reply.
We regret to inform you that we are not able to process a partial refund should there be a change of price for HP TouchPad 16GB webOS 3.0 WiFi 9.7 inch Tablet PC but we are more than willing accept the item back upon receipt for full refund.
We have two options to process a refund for this order.
First is to allow 15 banking days delivery time frame to take effect so we can provide a Not Received Claim Form and the second is to return the item upon receipt. The latter option will require a Returns Authorisation code which we will be happy to provide as soon as you contact us.
You also have the option to print a pre-payed label on-line. In order for you to return an order, please follow the step by step procedure which can be found on the link below:
http://www.play.com/Help.html?page=retn
This will prompt you to sign in on your PLAY.com account and choose the order you need to return.
We hope that this information is of some help to you. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.
Kind Regards,
Customer Care Team

I just logged into my Play account and my order is now showing as cancelled with today's date beside it.
Card payment had gone through so I wonder what they're playing at
I'd suggest that we go protest outside Play HQ but I don't fancy going to jail for a touchpad (maybe an ipad....)

Thank for the update.
I too have got an email this morning confirming my order has been despatched via DHL and I've got a tracking number.
expect it to take upto 5 working days to be delivered, then I have 7 days for receipt to inform them if I wish to return for full refund.
That's approx 8-13 days to get this resolved and to put pressure on Play.com
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.

Good news....
DataVision said:
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.
As of 5pm EST on 8/23, we anticipate shipping these towards the end of this week.
We will certainly keep you updated as we know exact dates by email, Facebook, and Twitter.
We have freight tracking # from HP with enough orders so that everyone will receive their complete order.
For those that ordered 10, 50, or 100, they will be PARTIALLY filled this week, and the balance FILLED most likely next week. It is the only fair thing to do, as we are assuring that everyone will get their FULL order without any canceling.
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.
-Following the Invoicing, a shipping label will be created, and emailed to you.
*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.
We have to start the order flow now, as the multiple shipping stations can only print invoices/receipts/tracking decals but so fast.
Based on the timing, it is the best scenario for you to get your item(s) fastest.
Thank you for your patience as we have been literally bombarded with calls, emails, and website hits.
We are doing our very best to process each call and email, and apologize for any delay.

Thank you once again,
**There will be future emails with updates. You may also want to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to see current statuses.
Finally, we completely understand your situation in wanting this product as timely as possible. We certainly hope that once we deliver your TouchPad, you will take consider the fact we followed through on the order completely, as opposed to other retailers canceling orders with simple apologies.
You deserve the item you ordered, at the incredible price paid, and we intend to deliver for you. All of our sites, and marketplaces received over 10,000 orders in total, and it has simply been overwhelming.
Thank you once again for your continued patience, and please reply to this email only if you need to cancel.

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 pretty selfish I guess but yeah, idk.

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*
It's available here.
Order before 6pm for despatch today.
I've cancelled my Google Play order to order this one instead!
EDIT: I'd suggest using PayPal. Otherwise you may get this email: [see attachment]
EDIT 2.0: Re-ordered with PayPal address, I'll let y'all know what happens.
EDIT 2.5: They accepted PayPal... But they didn't accept my shipping address for some reason.
EDIT 3.0: I should look before I leap. The watch is now out of stock. Plus you can only use paypal. Even then, they might contest your delivery address. This is only really worth it if Google doesn't ship to your country. Otherwise, I'd suggest waiting for Google to stock them.
I've cancelled my Mobile Fun order and re-ordered from Google.
PSSST. Hey you. Yes, you! Use NEWCLOTH as a voucher code to get a free microfibre cloth worth about £4!
Have you ordered from them before?
edit...decided to order from them. Delivery is a bit cheaper and I got cash back. Hopefully they'll dispatch it tomorrow and I can go get if from the Post Office on Friday after Royal Mail fail to deliver it.
Hm, I'd rather buy it from google, I like being loyal

I've ordered from them before, yes.
Never an electronic item though, just the occasional case. They seem alright, plus you can get a free microfibre cloth if you use a certain voucher code (I forget what).
Ordered mine straight away, as the pre-orders I saw in The Netherlands were €300,- (Total Bull**** right?)
used your voucher, worked indeed.
Now time to wait. :victory:
My order's been updated to "queued for processing"! :fingers-crossed:
Edit..."Our warehouse team are picking your order" :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for that. Just ordered one and cancelled the Play Store order. Hopefully it's not a mistake
Ordered yesterday at about 16:30 for delivery before 1pm today and here I sit...counting my steps and replying to texts cos there's not a lot else you can do with it yet......lol
MobileFun attach a letter to the box explaining that you shouldn't get it until the 7th because it won't be fully functional until then but they want you to have it early so you're ready to go etc.
Nice of them.
Cool! First impressions? Mine's showing as packing ready for despatch now.
how about ordering it for outside UK? are they trustworthy?
Ordered mine to. Mobilefun are trustworthy, often used by the guys at MoDaCo.
I used paypal and DPD next day, we will see what happens.
This was the email I got:

I have NO loyalty to Googles Play Store. Returning seems like a nightmare (many issues with my faulty N10) and the delivery charge is a rip-off.
And.... they're gone
Just checked the status of my order (placed 2nd July @ 09:40) and it's now changed from "queued for processing" to "Sorry, this item appears to be out of stock". Looks like they accept orders willy-nilly and not on quantity actually in stock at the time of ordering. I very cleverly cancelled my Play Store order already, so it's maybe someones way of telling me to wait for the 360
edit: product page says due back in stock in 2 days time.
Decided to cancel my order, and get it from Google Play instead.
First MobileFun weren't happy with my payment method (Mastercard); so I used PayPal instead.
Then their security team apparently weren't happy with my address I gave them; they said they tried to call me yesterday to confirm my address.
No missed calls, no voicemail.
Customer service asked if I wanted to verify my address...
By now, the watch is out of stock. Despite me ordering within minutes of them announcing it.
Not very impressed, and most likely won't order from them again. Not for electronics anyway.
^I hear you. I've just sent them my "thoughts" on the matter. That said, I've had a good few things from them in the past with now bother so I'm cutting them some slack. Their stock level calculations are obviously not to be trusted so I'll certainly think twice about ordering from them again.

Same here, cancelled my order. pre-ordered it from a shop in The Netherlands.
Selling a device saying it will be dispatched immidiatly and then say "oh its out of stock". not too impressed with that.
(As a web developer, I also find it a weird way of doing it. A proper system would be a count behind the article and every time someone purchases it the count goes count -1. till the point it has to say its out of stock.)
Well pre-ordered from Coolblue (if you live in The Netherlands), Delivery date: 8 July

Really odd, ordered mine at 11:45 today and my status is packing ready for dispatch. Holding my breath now to see whether mine gets pulled. Maybe LG have leaned on them for delivering early.

That, or Mobile Fun have learned how to ship things on a first-come first-served basis just like the Play Store does [read: doesn't] /s
Enjoy your watch!

Thanks, I feel bad now, as though I'm taking your watch! Still not convinced they won't throw a spanner in the works though...

It's not your fault so don't you worry. It did lead me to just cancel the order completely and take my money (which they still have!) elsewhere. I'll not be ordering from them again!
Well, yep my order also went south. Made my feelings known to them as well.
I think I will wait until next week now, see the first full reviews, make a decision then.
