I received an e-mail from BB telling me the dock was backordered. Nothing for the prime itself. I assume it will be shipped on the 18th. I will cancel the dock for special reasons if it doesnt ship until then.

Why not post this under BestBuy thread!? Seriously, nothing here says that the docks are delayed any more than Prime itself is delayed due to big amount of pre-orders.
Also, you gave no details what color dock are you talking about or at what date did you place your order, since Amethyst Gray tablets have also been canceled in number of sellers.
I am talking about the dock. Thats why i started another thread to not create any confusion. Anyway it is grey and ordered the same day with prime. Since i received backorder notice only for the dock i assumed a good news at least for the tablet.

Then clarify in your thread, you make it sound like just because you had your dock canceled by BB that suddenly others won't get it regardless when they ordered, where they ordered or what color
And again, what date did you place your order?
On the 3d, after my amazon order got cancelled.

Well then, it does not affect what Asus said in that case. They said that they can barely cover orders placed before December (and Amazon apparently did not keep tabs on their pre-order limits). Seeing delays on orders placed in December, days after delays became known, is not that much of a surprise. I don't think you can order dock or the tablet anywhere without being hit by delays anymore. If you placed your order in November you might have a chance to get the order shipped before Christmas, but that too is (as Amazon has showed) a game of luck.
I ordered my 32gb gray tp and dock on dec 4 from best buy and mine are still scheduled to be delivered on dec 18 for both...I did request next day ups delivery....I wonder if the shipping you select has an effect on the order in which they are fulfilled. I also confirmed my date was solid by calling best buy and asking about the expected release and she told me the same.....good luck everyone

I ordered next day delivery on the 3d and it used say it would be shipped right away, then on the 18th, then I received backordered notices twice, lastly yesterday. I still keep it on my order but I will cancell it on the 18th if my tablet ships alone.

I ordered a champagne dock with my prime on 11/29. My dock's original release date was 12/31, but I received an email two days ago that moved the dock's release date up from 12/31 to 12/19.
So not all docks are on back order. Maybe it is just the grey ones.
TF201 DOCK,GREY for $128.09
I found the dock at Seaboom.com I got mine on order eventhough they estimate a lead time of 3 weeks. Probably be around the time I get Prime. So it should all work out.
I can't post the link since I'm new. Sorry.

I ordered a hard drive from Seaboom on Black Friday. They charged my card and I didn't hear anything for a week. Then I got an e-mail saying it was back-ordered. Five days letter I got an e-mail saying my order was canceled. My credit card just got refunded yesterday. You may want to line up a "Plan B."
Just got an email ETA is 1/5/2012.
I just got an email from amazon.com:

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

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.

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.

Ordered the 32Gb Champagne on 12/26, order status says Feb. 6 - Feb. 28. I even called to ask if the shipping estimate was correct, and they told me that "Those things must be real hot, everyone and their brother wants one". I also noticed that you cannot order it from Amazon anymore.
I ordered a 64 grey on 19 & a 32 grey and dock on 20. Dock is coming in on the 3 rd (updated 2 days ago) while the 2 tabs still say end of Jan, beginning of Feb.

Random
I've been watching various forums and Amazon are starting to ship however it is not in any particular order. I've seen plenty of Nov 22 orders get "shipping soon" and many 18-19. However I've also seen some Nov 23 orders say they had their status updated to ship soon or already shipped.
It looks like Amazon ships roughly based on chronological preorder, but not entirely. It's not a complete first come first serve basis, which is kind of crap, but it's the system we have to deal with.
Personally I have a grey 64gb on order with a ship date of Jan 13th. Started at 9th, but moved back 4 days at some point. It hasn't updated in probably a week.

In the same boat as you. Ordered 12/26, Grey 64GB from amazon.com. Currently don't even have an estimated date of arrival. Going to give it another week or two then I'll suck it up and pay tax+recycling fee and order at local Frys. Or wait out until BestBuy has some in stock (they have a better return policy than Frys).
The funny thing is that my friend ordered the 32gb a week after me and received his yesterday. So I talked to amazon and they said I will have it by the 26th. But I don't know if they are just telling me that because my estimated delivery date is between January 26th - March 15th. Which I find very odd.

Honestly, I think most of the Amazon reps we talk to are clueless. You'd have to get transferred to someone higher up to really get some answers. Even then, they probably wouldn't be able to reveal how much stock they are getting versus how far along you are on the wait list.
You are very right about that. I just find it odd that I'm going to be one of the earliest people to of ordered it but one of the latest to receive it. Its killing me reading about it lol

I pre-ordered mine on the 2nd of this month from Currys and was able to pick it up a couple of days ago - perhaps give them a ring as they may start getting more stock in now?
Might be able to cancel your amazon one and pick up one from there.

I can confirm that my local Frys have the 64GBs in stock, if you have any in your area and don't mind paying tax and can deal with the shorter return period it's worth checking out.

Yeah when I look at the frys website, they say they have the 64 gb is stock (grey) then you call to verify and they don't have any in stock except for the display model.

Ordered a 32GB gray on Dec. 19 and don't have it yet. Originally my estimated delivery was Jan 24 - Feb 7, but I went on the order page and confirmed 1-day shipping - now my order says "We'll notify you when we have an estimated delivery date"
What really sucks is the customer service doesn't have a clue what's going on. They keep telling me it's a special order item??? And I don't know how many times I've heard this line - "We're still waiting on a shipment from the manufacturer. You'll get your item as soon as that shipment comes in"
Why are all these other stores getting inventory but not Amazon?

Heh...I pre-ordered a 64gb champagne back when they first had it, 11/22. I did not have my order canceled but they did push the delivery estimate to Jan 26 - Feb 13. Good luck with that!
THANK GOD Amazon messed up! I was able to get in on the HH Gregg deal last Friday. I used in store pickup just in case they decided to cancel the orders, so I paid tax, but it was in my hands last Friday. So I canceled my order...that should help you get yours faster ;-)
I am also glad I ignored all of the whiners complaining about wifi, bt & GPS. I get 3 bars of Wireless N 2 floors from the router and in that same spot the GPS locks on before the map has a chance to display. I haven't done any "official" tests...that's tonight. BT keyboard is out for delivery...I don't really see using the dock a whole lot...if I need to type that much I'll use a laptop or desktop.

I am really worried about my shipping date being pushed back again. Even if it isn't, having to wait till the end of February is ridiculous. A two month+ wait just doesn't make any sense! Either amazon took far more orders than they could possibly fill in a reasonable amount of time (unethical), or asus is not giving amazon the supply a retailer of it's size deserves.
