Just folks,
anyone in the UK managed to get their hands on a dock from a supplier in the UK. Having channels with a local IT supplier, I've waited three weeks for them to get hold of one, but with no joy.
Suggestions?

I have ordered the dock from play - they state 25th July (uk) release date. I will be able to confirm the version / serial on delivery..
Update: play didn't deliver and after a week I cancelled - then the price went up to £ 109.99 - still have'nt got one..
i got my transformer with one today from comet in kidderminster, the only place around here who had one though!
Did you see this thread? cclonline still seem to have them. Also ebuyer do but at a ludicrous price!

Last I checked, Pixmania had them in stock as well, mind you, that was Pix IE, not sure about UK.
I got my prime and love it, but need to exchange because of some light bleed and strange battery issues. Has anyone exchanged at best buy? How does that work?

You have 14 days from delivery to return you tablet, problem is that they don't have them in the retail stores, or at least not in NJ. Good luck finding one, they are also not available online.

I got mine exchanged no problem; as long as you're within 14 days of the arrival date there won't be any problems. I just walked in, showed the guy the few dead pixels I had, and then he refunded my card for it. They won't have em in stock though, so then they just order you another one from the website. Kinda sucks having to wait all over, bit it'll be worth having a fully functioning tab.
Ps: I was rooted before I exchanged so I backed up all my stuff using titanium to an sd card then unrooted and factory reseted. I'd definitely recommend that if you're rooted.

This evening I called BB to return my tablet due to the no GPS and a slight bleeding on the too right of the tablet, the customer service rep told me that a replacement could not be shipped, and that it could be exchanged at a retail store. The problem is that there are none at the retail stores. So, how is it that the store will order you one on-line when they are not available on-line?
Has anyone here returned a Prime for a refund that was ordered online? I'm wondering if they give any trouble with refunding the shipping charges.
I returned my by calling customer service. They immediately shipped me a new one over the phone and told me to take my defective one to a store once the new one shows up.
The new one came in 2 days (this was during the last week of December). It was really painless and easy.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are in route to the store. I purchased one on best buy for ship to store this past weekend and it had an estimated delivery of 1/14/12. Then I tried to order a second one the next day using the same method and they would not let me send it to the store. I could choose site to store but then every location showed as unavailable. I took this to mean that maybe they are already in route to the stores so they don't want you placing additional site to store orders. I am just guessing but it seems funny they allowed me to order one site to store and later I HAD to choose shipping to my house to get one even though site to store was still available to click.

And yet I have had to get the public defender team on my side to get them to ship me one, and that was under duress.
It would be really nice if they had some consistency.
I returned my Prime to Best Buy after it went into a never-ending boot loop on day 15. I was concerned they would not accept the return after their stated 14-day return policy for tablets, but they did not challenge this at all after I described the problem.
The bad news is when I returned it to the Best Buy store the Prime was not available either in the store (or in any store in the state) nor for online ordering. They gave me a credit, and said I could reorder another one myself when they became available. <Heavy Sigh>
The good news is that the Office Depot site allowed me to order a Prime online (although it was initially showing as backordered). Lo and behold the next day the order was processed and I should have a Prime in 2 days. Just in time for ICS!
Let's hope the second (and not the third) Prime is the charm!
Just be aware that Office Depot does not allow returns on Tablets only exchanges.
I know many of you have been on the hunt for the keyboard dock.
Well, if you still are, then I suggest you runs down to your local Office Depot, as I was able to locate them in at least 3 of my local stores.
Most have received the docks within the past 2-3 days. Good luck!

The Office Depot website also seems to have the actual TF Prime tablet in stock, as well as the black Transleeve.

I ordered one from Best Buy online two days ago and even though it said it wouldn't ship until 1/31-2/14 I received a tracking # today!
Awesome, just made the phone call, on my way to pick it up!
Same with paradismo. Ordered my dock from best buy 2 days ago but got my tracking number today. Will probably get it next week :thumbup:
Edit: got shipped tonight and will get it tomorrow!

Thanks, OP.
This post made me check my local office depot.. and they had primes AND docks.. grabbed a dock this morning.
Great investment so far.
Thanks for the tip! I called my local Office Depot this morning, and they had one waiting for me when I showed up! They said they only had the one, but that it was getting restocked fairly regularly. The TF201 dock does not show up in search on their website when I looked by name, only when you search by item number (941611), or you can just call the store and ask them to look for it by that item number.
Ordered from Best buy, it wss backordered till Feb 15th or something. It was two days ago. Arrived today, didnt even get email confirming shipping. This is crazy. Im happy, keyboard works fine but the battery was depleted. Charging now.
These are all Amethyst docks you guys are finding right? Any luck with Champagne docks at Office Depot or Best Buy?

Yes. At one of the Office Depots I visited, they had received both versions. It's worth a try if you are looking for the champagne version.

Sweet. I'm going to stop by tomorrow. Thanks.
I got mine off eBay and its perfect. The colours may not match and there might be Taiwanese characters on my keyboard, but it works flawlessly and i'm loving the usb port (purple colour dock)
anybody know the sku for the champagne dock at office depot?

This would be handy when I'm calling around.
thanks to the OP, I got my gray/purple -- corporate metal
I just was able to buy a dock from the local bestbuy with in-store pickup! Check your local best buys, they have them! ( I'm in Northern California)
I called several Office Depots and the ones that actually had one in stock only had Grey.
Just picked up mine from a Best Buy here in Denver.
i'm hoping someone around the area might be able to point me to the right direction. live in vancouver canada, and heading down to bellvue washington next weekend. im hoping to get a ASUS Eeepad Transformer Prime TF201 Keyboard Champagne color.
any suggestion where i can start looking that i may have better luck of finding one?
Thanks
I had my Prime and the keyboard ordered from Amazon on the same order. I finally got tired of waiting so long and deleted the keyboard from my order yesterday. Today they're showing a HUMONGOUS improvement on my shipping estimate for the Prime, but now I've nowhere to get a dock!
Lol, I think I'll be happy at least getting my Prime in, but now that I deleted the dock I don't see it anywhere. I'm in the US, if that matters. Have all retailers just completely dropped the product-line?
I was able to buy my TFP from officedepot.com a week ago, and it came in 3 days. I ordered my dock from bestbuy.com, had them ship to store this week, and I got it in 3 days.... I don't see why its been so hard for others to get them... Im in the US, Northern California to be exact.
Check frys.com , I think they have one in bellingham, not sure though...

Best Buy currently has them.

Thanks! I'll wait until the tablet actually gets here (curse Amazon) and then order the same day. Hopefully they'll still have them >.> Frys it is.
Guess the major online retailers just jumped ship then? Consider BB brick&mortar and we've none nearby.
I ordered a keyboard dock the day after Christmas for Amazon and it still says ships between 1st and 15th of February. It's funny how Best Buy keeps getting them in but Amazon is so slow. They must have sold a ton of pre-orders. I'd switch to someplace else but I paid for most of it with Amazon Gift Cards from Christmas.
Has anyone had any luck exchanging the Prime at Office Depot? I am really sorry I bought mine there!
Why is it that Best Buy and Amazon are exchanging and other stores aren't? I was never happy with my Prime, but since it was the first tablet I had used, I just thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Sure learned from that!!
Not going to happen if you are over the return policy period. I bought mine on OD online store. I tried to return a few weeks ago after calling CS and explaining everything that is going on with the tablet and what BB is doing to satisfy customers. No luck. Off to eBay we go.
