Woo, ordered one
Finally i wont have to use the on scren keyboard for everything
they don't send to Russian (((
Thank you for the info, BigMike23. I just ordered directly from Tiger and then cancelled an earlier order from an out-of-stock vendor awaiting a new shipment. I don't quite understand how Tiger got its shipment in first ahead of all the other vendors, but I appreciate the fact that Tiger is sticking to the $149 price as opposed to what the vendor using Amazon has been gauging. I could be wrong, but my memory is that as of a day or two ago that price was $289 or thereabouts; this morning it is down to $239!!!

In Russia, dock connect you!
I placed an order for one of these from Tigerdirect shortly after this was posted.
Everything went through fine-however, I checked my order on their website tonight and now it says backordered
I just ordered one!
Ncix also has them in stock, I think Newegg also does.

TigerDirect Docks are Backordered
I placed an order for the dock with TigerDirect two days ago. It gave me an estimated Delivery of 08 Jun 2011. Today I checked the order online and it is now backordered, when I called to cancel the order, the Rep confirmed it was backordered with not ETA of when it would ship.
Found a dock at MicroCenter in Columbus, OH, they have four more in stock currently for store pickup.
The following MicroCenter stores also have stock for pickup only as of 13:50 EST:
Cincinnati/Sharonville - QTY 5
Northeast Ohio/Mayfield Hts. - QTY 2
So Microcenter has a total of 11 in stock in Ohio only...
My dock is plugged in and charging currently!!!
The rep told me they were drop shipping from their distributor (that's why they can't give you ETA).

Yeah the rep did not tell me that. He said he had no ETA, so I checked around and found for about the same price (Actually cheaper since I had gotten two day shipping from Tigerdirect) at MicroCenter! I am happy now as my dock charges...good luck all...
Called them today, the rep said they were due to get "thousands" tomorrow (5/05). I told him I'd call back tomorrow then.

I'm not surprised. They were taking orders for the dock for the entire day.
Do you mean 6/6?

I'm sure he meant 6-6 too, UPS and FedEx don't deliver on Sunday's, however, the US Postal Service will on request.
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.

Just another reason I'm sorry I moved away from Chicago...
I called. CSR rep said they sold out in minutes. New shipment in January, he said.
In any event, just chatted with a CSR and he said they're out of stock.

i called on the phone and got one.. they are shipping it to me.. he said there was 3 left and he had 28 web chats for the same product to be shipped but i got one of the 3.
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. I originally posted because of what BB just anounced this evening and I was thinking about it in comparison to Amazon letting people know earlier than 3 days before Christmas. 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. If there is going to be one there might as well be a good one Although you did say curious so I guess it's really not an argument.... hmmmmmmm

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?
Im not sure if this is true but it's seems that only people who chose the highest shipping option are getting their confirmation and tracking numbers, has anybody who just went with the free shipping get a tracking number? Or an email?
It went by order of "first come first serve." I ordered mine on 12/3 with the 2nd day shipping and got my tracking number on the 23rd. It's currently in Louisville, KY headed to Erie, PA. Should be here on Wednesday.

Expedited, not highest, and ordered abut 4.5 hours after they opened this up on friday, about 9 pm eastern time on the east coast, where I am. And got my tracking number about an hour ago.
Also ordered one regular shipping about 7:30 eastern time, an hour and a half before, no tracking number yet.
I ordered on 11/25 with standard ground (free) shipping, got my tracking on the 19th and an ETA of 12/28...
I preordered the 32gb grey on 12/3 with standard shipping and still haven't received a shipping confirmation or tracking #. Really pisses me off to see people who ordered a couple days ago with tracking #s already. Mine has been stuck on "in process - usually ships in 1-2 days" since early last Thursday. What is going on here?
i just received a UPS tracking number. i ordered [32G Gray] at 5:25 PM MST on the 23rd, and chose the free shipping option.
[Q] Still no tracking number and still can cancel item... why?!
i ordered on friday at 4 with the free shipping but they charged my card immediately.... but i can still cancel my item and still no tracking info... what is taking so long!?

First, I know that you're talking about BB because I've been following that thread. Others will have no idea what you're talking about. BB's ordering and fulfillment is FUBAR. To the point it made the national news. Most likely, just like the original pre-order fiasco, many people that tried to order the Grey unit meant as a swap for screwed up Champagne pre-orders will get a cancellation notice. Even with the first pre-orders, people got tracking numbers only to have their orders canceled because there were no units in the warehouse to physically ship. With BB, you can't say your order's succesful until you see the package show in transit on the UPS or FedEx website. And after the first round of this, there's not going to be a lot of sympathy for people that subjected themselves to it again.
Seriously, no need to created another thread. Just post in the one of many other threads.
Just be patient, im sure they got hundreds of orders to fill and are doing their best.

but people have called best buy saying indeed they have units in... not to mention that they charged me money, last time every bodies charges were pending and then canceled. My money was legitimately taken from my account.
My status online is backordered still.
I will watch to see if/when it changes.
I hope to get my phone on or before Friday. What is the point in Pre-ordering if not?
Are you guys that also pro-ordered from Bestbuy on the same page as me or are you seeing that you're closer to getting your pre-order? I preordered on the 7th around noon.
I have always had good luck at best buy, we use sprint at our work so I usually do my work line upgrades there. The evoLTE I used my Sero P upgrade which has to be done via Sprint. I got the 3D at BB and the evo. Both times it was first come first serve for pre-order and they would call me to set up an appointment time to come in so there wasn't 100 people at the store at the same time. Never had an issue with getting mine on release day they were always good about it. As long as you ordered it the 1st day you should be fine. I would say the most difficult thing is explaining to the staff you don't want any of there overpriced accessories, service plans or settings up your phone.
I could see them listing it as backordered because they dont have them in stock technically.
