Fellow Canadians!
Other than best buy, futureshop and Staples, are there any other pre order sites?
I have a champagne transformer pre ordered from staples, as they were the only local retailer that had that color code for pre-order, however I noticed that they have pulled that sku from their website entirely. Not sure what that means but when I called Staples to find out they said that it was a possibility that only a certain number of that color code were available.
I did ask about estimated shipping and the rep had told me it is still slated of the week of Dec 12. So hopefully everything goes through without a hitch.
Has anyone else had this issue at all?
The only two other two places I know you can preorder is ncix.com and memoryexpress.com. Both of those places have the champagne version as well which is why I ordered mine from memory express.
I am just hoping mine gets in before the 21st because I ordered mine in calgary and won't be flying there until the 21st (figured I would save some taxes and not ruin my finals studying with a new toy!).
My last email from Best Buy Canada said the release date was Dec 5, but other than that, no word. I wonder if we are really getting it early here in Canada vs. the US.
Is it just me or are there NO 64gb pre-orders anywhere in Canada? Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, ect. No one has a 64gb up for pre-order! I'd rather pick it up than get it shipped, btw.

Memory express and NCIX have 64gig versions. Although the fact those other big guys don't have it doesn't leave me with confidence that those two will actually be getting them at the same time as the 32gig versions. I am even a bit scared my champagne unit will be late as well since its just those 2 that have it.
Memory Express had 64GB TFs available for preorder in both grey and gold, last time I checked.

Would have like to have ordered from Futureshop but they don't deliver in Quebec because of language laws so I ordered from NCIX. I ordered the original TF from them and got it the second week it came out. Another bonus is I only pay GST and shipping is fairly reasonable. I also ordered from Amazon.ca but I have a feeling I wont get it this month. I'll be canceling the other order once the first one comes in.
Sorry if this is already known but I just got a call from MemoryExpress in Edmonton, AB to change my pre-order because they claim to have received an e-mail from ASUS Canada stating that the only model available in Canada will be the 32GB Amethyst Gray. I asked for confirmation that that would mean NO 64GB and NO gold colour whatsoever and the sales associate said that is what the e-mail said. I asked about any release date info and they said the tablet would arrive in "the next couple weeks" but the dock would be "3-4 weeks away." Take that with a grain of salt though as I don't believe the release date info came directly from ASUS.

dang. I emailed them to ask about it and they emailed back saying they have some info and if I could call them which I figure is bad news. I had an order for champagne gold and mentioned in this thread how I was worried it wouldn't be coming. I gave them my number so we will see if they call me and what they say.
I just pre ordered mine from Amazon.ca says Dec 16th
Well memory express called and said that the only unit they will be getting in is the 32gig grey and the dock. Said that asus said they guess that the champagne gold version will be released sometime in February. Pretty disappointed as I was really starting to like the look of the gold! Ah well as long as they actually get them in around christmas!
Appreciated that they took the time to call me about the order though, the guy at memory express was nice and explained how pissed they were at asus.
I just did NCIX in Vancouver.. no date.. but better then Amazon.ca dating it AFTER jan 31st...
BestBuy Canada Release Date
BB Canada is showing my pre-order with a December 22nd release date.
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
In the GTA here... Online shows bestbuy, staples and even futureshop not having any stock!
First off I really would have liked to buy it in store instead of online. Do you think there is a chance that any store would have this available before Xmas (in store that is)?
"So what you want me do 'bout that?"
Yeah mine is all over the place too:
Shipment 1
Scheduled forGround Delivery
Estimated Arrival: 11/26-12/09/2011
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
Weird.. who knows.. I lost my amazon order so I just would like to get one. haha
Anyone know when it will be available in stores?
December or January stick with thos months and you will be fine
No 64GB... This just sucks. No wonder Best Buy wasn't getting back to me on when they'd be getting that model. REALLY disappointed.
My future shop order has changed from release date on the 5th of December to the 22nd of December today. Was anyone else able to choose any other shipping method other than regular old ground? doesn't look too promising to get it before christmas.
What model and color did you pre-order? I want to see if this is limited to 32GB Amethyst Gray models only. It appears that ALL of the 32GB Amethyst gray ones were killed.
As somebody wrote in another thread, they found it hard to believe that the largest online retailer in the world didn't have clout to get some of the 32gb gray ones.
Let's find out!
(wouldn't it be weird if some bozo mistakenly hit the 'Cancel all' button??)
Note: I purposely did not have an option for 'I ordered something other than 32gb gray, and did not get canceled', because it is not statistically relevant for this poll's purpose.
32GB Amethyst Gray ordered on the morning of the 23rd. CANCELLED!

fill up the poll!
So far, it looks like ALL 32gb gray models were killed. What are the chances of that, unless:
Amazon messed up their order with ASUS
ASUS messed up their order with Amazon
Amazon mistakenly canceled our orders
Everybody's 32gb gray models are canceled (regardless of merchant) - possible manufacturing snag
Seems to me that numbers 2 and 3 should be fixable.
64GB champagne not cancelled from Amazon.ca yet.
I would like to know has anybody that ordered the 64 gig model been canceled from any merchant?
32GB Grey, Preordered Nov 22nd 6:00AM CST
So I see tons of posts discussing preorders of the 32 GB version, but nothing at all on the 64 GB version. Why is this? Is the 64 GB version vaporware like the 32 GB version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus?

Mine (amethyst) has been on pre order since the morning of the 22nd. Still says estimated delivery Tuesday Jan 10th from Amazon with prime shipping. A lot of people have been getting emails saying it wouldn't be shipping until Jan 25th to Feb 8th or so. There was a whole thread about the 64gb version but it hasn't been active in awhile. Anyone else still have a Jan 10th or earlier date from Amazon on one of these?
I don't have the link as it was a tweet last week or so, but I swear to you it said the 64GB versions would be available Q2 2012. I'm not sure if its true or not, but I would not be surprised.
Pretty sure that tweet was referring to the UK version of the tablet... But I could easily be wrong, Asus has been full of surprises during this roll-out.

Ah, perhaps you are right. I noticed it rather quickly as I ordered the 32GB version so I wasn't too concerned. Thanks for the clarification.

Still haven't gotten the email, still says Jan 10th when I check my order status. However there was a thread saying that some German online retailer had the 64GBs in stack and they had actual been received.
I saw an article that said spring 2012, so I switched my efforts to the 32GB.
Thanks for all of the info, guys. I really wanted the 64 GB version, but Q2 would be really annoying. I also have it on preorder at Amazon from a while ago. I'm thinking I'll give it until the January 10 date to see where they stand, and if it keeps getting delayed, I'll begrudgingly switch to the 32 GB model.
Yep, I hear you. I REALLY want a prime as well, however I think patience will pay off in this case. So far I haven't seen any articles that have been backed by any information from Asus about a delay in US shipments of the 64GB version, only the Europe/UK version. Do a quick google (can't post links, since XDA doesn't like me), and note that either all the articles are referring to a delay in Europe, or are referring to the same slashgear article that also talks only about the UK release, specifically to the distributor "Clove".
From my perspective only, I am more than willing to wait for the 64GB version, as I do intend to replace my current netbook with the Prime, and will definitely be using up the extra space (and perhaps future tinkering of integrating Windows 8 with the Prime). But that's just my 2 cents. Keep looking through google news for updates though, as I will be doing the same. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on this machine.
I have a delivery date of January 6th from Amazon. I've been contacting them through chat every few days to see if they have had any updates -- Nothing.
As of this morning, the Amazon CSR told me that they should be receiving their shipment in the next few days - and it looks like my delivery date of January 6th should still be on target...
I figure I'll give it until CES - when I'll be able to see what's to come later in the year. Seeing that, along with all of the negative reviews I'm reading of the Prime in pretty much every forum, may be enough to sway me to finally cancel my order and just wait it out for something more polished.
I just got a shipping notification on my 64gb amethyst grey prime. From tigerdirect.com Hope everyone else gets theirs soon! I'll let you know if its a 64gb that actually arrives.......::fingers crossed::
Ordered on 11/23
You bring hope to us huynhc!

Who did you order this from???
B&H got some Amethyst Grey 64GB today, not many. Posted in the B&H thread here on xda.
This below is from transformerforums
"Henryp
Without divulging information I may not, I will say we received some 32GB units in both colors on Tue. We received some grey 64GB units and some grey docks earlier today (Wed). Each is being assigned to a current back order and they should all leave our warehouse today or tomorrow. PLEASE don't ask how many -- I will not say."

I hate you =P
Mine shipped today from Amazon... 64GB Gray..
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...
Sent from my Galaxy S2
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.
Hi,
I've order Transformer Prime Champange Gold from Amazon and I got it shipped to my friend's address on 16 April (surprisingly in one day thou they say they dont have any stock and could take up to 3-4 weeks). Today i see that Amazon put up notice saying something wrong with item or shipping (see the attached image). Would anyone know what the problem could be? As I am getting Prime shipped to Europe by my friend next week I want to know what he should look for as I ll find it really hard to ship back to the states again ;(
Thanks in advance.
