OfficeDepot (32G Grey in Stock) - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

So I was neurotically checking my pre-order with OfficeDepot when I noticed that when I added a Prime to my cart, it was no longer marked as "Backordered."
I decided to complete my checkout and found that they charged me (something they didn't do for the pre-order), and I have a firm delievery date of 1/11.
My original order with them was still marked as "Backordered," but the new order went through.
Hopefully this is not a site error on their part. Good luck!

Ship it to a boarder town and then go pick it up. There's a great place in Port Huron, Michigan called SCC Parcel Pick-up. FYI.

Went thru pretty much the same thing back on 12/30. After I checked out I went back to the product page and the item was back on backorder already.
Mine shipped on 1/3 and UPS says 1/9 delivery.
So, its prob not an error.

Dam that's fast. Mine says "3 Days Delivery Pending." Did you just order now?

Sorry, i ordered Dec 30th. It was on back order until 3 days ago then it changed to "in factory" but today it has now finally changed to "shipped" with confirmation email with tracking number, tracking says its already in my state and is expected to be delivered tomorrow 8am-5pm.
If this one is has the same issues as my other one I will be returning it and just wait it out till 11 inch Samsung or prime mini comes.

Just ordered mine to replace my GS Prime.
Expected delivery date: 01/11/2012 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Didn't notice an option for 1 day shipping. Just automatic 3 day shipping.

I am also replacing the one i get tomorrow from OD with the GS one i sold online. What was wrong with your GS TFP?

Screen brightness often times fluctuates under power saving mode, brightness lowest lvl.
Random shutdowns and takes several tries to get it to turn on.
Web browsing: Web pages sometimes flickers.
And with that sleeve that connects to the Prime it scratched the aluminum a little bit. Wasted 40 bucks.
jzen said:
let me know how the new one works out for you from OD, I will do the same.
Had the same problem with my sleeve, installed the skinomi carbon fiber skin and now its a lot better...

Funny I did a factory reset on my Prime that I got from GS and the issues I've been having is no longer there! Now I'm torn whether to return it or wait for OD...

I got my new prime, all i got to say is...
So far it seems perfect in everyway, have not tried GPS but every other problem i was having with my GS prime is no more on this OD prime.
Just got it rooted, I am finally a happy customer.. To anyone looking to get a prime, do yourself a favor and order two of them.

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!!!

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.

It appears we wont be getting the dock soon

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 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.

asus plan for the prime

I really like the tab, but mine rebooted constantly after ice. I planed to order a new one but I can't find them at all and several sites seem tohave them tagged as a prodect that is not being restocked. Has anyone seen one for sale from a store in the last 24 - 48 hours

Ordered mine from Office Depot yesterday. Called to verify (1/12 4:45pm est) they truly had some in and was told at that time they had 37 in the warehouse. However, she could not tell me a color, lol. No matter where she went on her computer it wasn't listed. It made me nervous as I already have the Dock sitting here until I checked "Product Details" and it is model TF201-B-GR. I feel better. Not 100% but at lest 85% I'm getting the correct color. Order shipped and I should have it Tuesday.
Too new here to post links but go to Officedepot and search item number 906853 (Still in stock atm.)
I was lucky to find it as NowInStock.net still has it listed as PreOrder.

There are some FRYs Electronics stores that have few of them in stock in the back room. You can have an employee look up the SKU and they should be able to tell you whether they *actually* have them in stock there.

Looking for a prime? Look here!

I will share with you a awesome little tool that helped me snag my tfp and should help you. It shows you who has it in stock and you can have it send you a txt message when it comes in

I agree but at the time of purchase, Fry's was selling it at $499 and Amazon for $650!!! for almost $700 (tax included), I got both they keyboard and the Prime where Amazon would have been $800 more.
Plus, no wait.

You just have to wait for amazon to offer it as a official seller (how I got mine).
But I get next day shipping for 3.99 with my free 6 months of amazon prime.

Actually, Amazon has never sold the Prime for anything more than its retail price ($499 for 32GB, $599 for 64GB). Those inflated prices are by people just using Amazon as a storefront. Worse than the inflated price, maybe, is that you don't likely get the same return policy as with Amazon. Basically, buying from those people is pretty much exactly like buying off of eBay.

My gps doesn't work but I was aware of the problem when I purchased it, that is why I still use a Garmin Nuvi 660 for my gps navigation.

I ordered mine from Gamestop online. It's Going to be here Tomorrow (2/20). I ordered it Wednesday (2/15). It would of been here Friday (2/17) Originally, paid $24 to overnight it. Since I never purchased on Gamestop.com with that expensive of a order & different shipping address from Billing address, the system put it on hold till I called from my Billing phone number (Never received email they said they sent). That was Thursday (2/16). Next day called up, to find out cause still never got my shipping notification email. something happened where kicked that error up again, this time the rep said to ship it's verified. Later that day Friday (2/17) i received the email saying there was a issue to call this phone number. This point I am getting way beyond pissed, so called yet again, lady said no it's all set that she just sent emails out. It will be here Tuesday. So I said that's it, I'm NEVER shopping at Gamestop again. I buy all my games and accessories for all my consoles there. I have PSP, PS3, WII, XBOX 360. Plus I purchase their powerup subscription. She was very apologetic for all my issues, explained why everything happened. Then she have me the overnight shipping for free.
On Wednesday before I ordered I wanted to make sure they had it available,.only one they had was the grey 32GB Bundle. It comes with a Bluetooth controller (Looks like a aftermarket PS3 controller). He said that there was a few hundred left of that, but are going fast.
Link is here: www.gamestop.com/tablets/asus-transformer-prime-32gb-grey-tablet-bundle/98405
So if you order before Noon, have no hold ups, and overnight it will be there the day after next. (example order on a Tuesday, should receive on that Thursday.) As I said if there is no "hiccups". The last person I talked to was great, took care of it & said she will over see my order, do everything in her power to get it to me on Monday, but still said probably be Tuesday, and anything else pops up she would personally call me. Few hours later I got email with tracking number I go on UPS to check, sure enough it said Monday.
Hoped that helps, sorry for the book.
Again call up to check if they have in stock before you order.
Also Amazon said they should have them available on the 24th, that includes prime membership as well. Believe it's the 64GB grey model for the normal price $599
GOOD LUCK!

[Q] Amazon Shipping from KY to CA

Greetings!
I purchased the HTC One from Amazon.com on Monday with an expected delivery by Wednesday 5/22 at 8:00PM.
At 1PM today, Amazon updated the status to "Shipping Now" and has still been on that status through right now.
I have a trip leaving in the afternoon tomororw and I really want the phone before then.
Anyone who has bought from Amazon, can you tell me what time your package arrived and what state you are located in?
that depends. what speed shipping did you choose? i know that if you chose 2 day shipping, you should get it tomorrow. i live in CA and with 2 day shipping and with it coming from there (ive had stuff come from there) ive always had it by wednesday if i ordered on monday.

If it says it'll be there then it should be there. I have been using Amazon forever and then some and have never received a package later than estimated. More often then not my packages actually tend to show up 1 or 2 days early. Amazon is extremely reliable. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

It's shipped via UPS Next Day Air Saver, says it will arrive by 8PM. I am wondering if there's any chance it would arrive around noon.
It depends on the route. Over the last few months , what time does ups drive in your neighborhood. So give or take 1 hour.
