Just ordered with shipping time between 12/29- 1/3
32gb Grey
Just caught that one and placed an order. Got an email that says:
Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/03/2012
Not going to cancel my other backordered deals with Office Depot or Amazon until I get a tracking number though.
I can't find it, link please...

Man, if Best Buy actually ships these things to people who ordered today, and don't honor their offer to switch backordered Champagne models to Grey and ship those first, I'm going to be PISSED. Yes, I'm posting this in two threads, but that just shows how pissed I am. I NEVER cross-post. Or rarely.
Damn, Best Buy, you just couldn't have screwed this up more.
I had this page open on my browser with the audible notify set to on and it worked:
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/
Alarm went off and I had the order done in less than a minute.

Man, I feel for yah. Had a similar deal with Office Depot shipping out units to people that odered well after me while I was on backorder. If I cancel my order, someone else will just grab it up though.
I'd preferred the gold version, but this'll do.
ShopDiscover.com gives a 10% discount on purchases through bb.com
But it states: Offer not valid on laptops, desktops, hard drives, Geek Squad services, online photo center sales, digital downloads, long distance or internet sales, or mobile plans
Wonder if this tablet is considered part of the laptop/desktop restrictions.
This makes no sense if it is true. Mine is supposedly back ordered to mid Jan./Feb......
Hallelujah
I've been waiting on Best Buy to update their site for the longest.
I just ordered.
12/29-01/03/2012 is the estimated arrival , my grand total was only $529.64 after tax as I was able to use my $5 dollar off Reward Zone coupon.
and the shipping is FREE
Thanks! I just ordered. I thought this christmas was gonna be a bummer, sold my og transformer last week and was going through withdrawals.
And those backordered ppl I hope they saved some for you and send em to yall first.
Is it champagne that is backordered? I wanted grey anyways so it don't matter. Just need a dock now.
Was planning on getting from gamestop so I could get free games, but I can't wait.

I've been stressing all for like 2 weeks now on how I was gonna get this ting. I'm stationed in Germany and wanted to pre-order, but with so many options negated by no shipping to APO I was in a rut. YOU MADE MY DAY!
Order submitted! Estimated Arrival: 12/29-01/03/2012
Score
Just ordered, thanks for the heads up, it should arrive next week, my dock also shipped from newegg. Happy Holidays to all!!!
P.S. I'm still on the look out for a champagne one for me, wifee is all set
Glad I was able to help. I am so excited, keeping my jan. 26th amazon order for a few more days just in case. I am so glad this is almost over...
You all realize you just ordered from the company that has about 100 pages talking about how stated delivery dates are pretty much meaningless. I wouldn't cancel other pre-orders until you have a tracking number. It's hard to believe BB cleaned up their act in 72 hours.
SICK!!! OP just saved Christmas for me. Will deliver on the 27th!!!!
Modded by MBOK
My boss actually gave me an Ipad2 yesterday as a xmas bonus but I sold it last night and used that plus an extra 50 bucks to order at Bestbuy.com. I hate paying for taxes but Amazon taking too damn long!!! Thanks for heads up.
Crossing my fingers!

THANK you VERY MUCH. I just ordered two GREY 32 GB PRIMES from Best Buy which will be delivered on Wednesday 12/28 using your link. One of these is for a friend. This is my 5th order for the PRIME I will need to look at cancelling the other 3 (2 from Amazon and 1 from GameStop).

party pooper.
but hey wasn't it rumored that Best Buy was undergoing some mandated meeting today regarding their Christmas order commitments. I know I read it here or from the forums.bestbuy.com site.
Perhaps this is the result of that.
So the prime is released in the UK, and with the hoopla going on with online orders (can be seen in the other uk online orders thread), I thought it would be a good idea to setup a thread to shop bricks and mortar sales.
So where people got there prime, shop and location and if possible stock levels.
Please don't come on and say you got the display model last week as that isnt helping anyone.
what really isn't helping anyone is the creation of another uk thread.
there is a sticky stating no more pre-order type threads.
lets try and keep this place tidy
Sorry zoro but this isn't a pre order thread.... other thread is for online orders and this for people picking it up in a shop. If mods deem the thread inappropriate then fair enough.

So anyone know of any shops in the uk that have any primes in stock, or is the launch day just a load of nonsense.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I think most of the stock out there is going out to pre-orders at the moment - most of those also seem to be delayed.
Carphone Warehouse seem to be doing the best on those at the moment, some of their stores might be the best to check.

bad form. this isn't a pre-order thread. this is dealing with specific stock in the uk. and considering how tidy the UK ordering has been in relation to how many US threads were started to have only 2 UK threads on stock levels is pretty disciplined, 1 for online, 1 for shops is perfectly fair IMHO.

I rang CPW this morning after their screw up with my online order. I got them to check store stocks. No UK stores are showing stock in store today and she would not give me projected expectations when bricks and mortar stores will get them either.
good thread - subscribed.
Ok guys
anyone wanting to pick up a prime in west Yorkshire
comet at Wakefield have one in stock.
As I have just returned mine for a refund.
If you're quick grab it
No issues at all apart from the poor gps which you all know about as all primes pretty much have this issue.
I have been trying to return since delivery but had to wait til it was officially available
i.e today (12th)
Had to lie about switching it on but I did a factory reset so they couldn't tell, all the plastic film packaging is still on everything as I didn't want to jeopardise a refund if I changed my mind
I returned primarily as I don't like the screen size
I prefer the ipad 4:3 ratio
So go grab it if you want one.

I spoke to a PCW/Currys person this morning and they said that the megastores in Bristol (Cribbs Causeway), Bath, Swindon and Weston Super Mare had one each... Don't know if it's true, but that's what she said. Another poster on the pre-order thread said yesterday that there were none in the South West...so you can take your pick.
I picked up display model from my local PCWorld this morning ... just asked ;-)
Any news if atp is actually available in stores at all? Can't believe this launch fiasco...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Is it really a fiasco? Which option would you prefer - delaying the launch so Asus could build up a bit of a stockpile (a la Apple) or releasing them when stock becomes available? I concede that their provision to online retailers has been far too erratic but the fact that you can't walk into a shop and buy one hardly makes this a fiasco.
It does. It is a fiasco. It's pathetic how people preorder it months in advance and then someone like me just orders one on 11th and gets it in 19 hours, when people who preordered are still waiting. Then another order from JL, them stating that they have stock, and still nothing, they didn't even charge my cc.
While Asus is doing great by releasing as many tablets as they can, retailers are really screwing it up.
So while its not , or only partially Asus fault, still, launch is a fiasco.

It is a fiasco because
- either ASUS have massively underestimated demand and produced 100,000 units for global distribution but then they shouldn't have been making so much hype around the launch.
-or its retailers that are too cautious and only buying from ASUS little shipments and then it's their fault that it is near to impossible to buy it more than a week after "official" launch in UK and possibly month after "unofficial" launch in US.
I tend to lean towards first possibility as it seems that none of retailers here or in US are able to get their hands on larger amounts of the tablet. Its not like I want John Lewis to have 5000 in their ware house but the way things are looking they perhaps have only got 100 (via their supplier which is not directly from ASUS by the way).
So the moment they got 500 orders on Friday they should have spoken to MicroP and in turn to ASUS - can we have 1000 more on Monday morning as we have high demand. And I suspect this is the problem that there's no availability from the manufacturer.

Yea, its out of stock in stores. But apparently not at their warehouse or so the online order support said. You can order one online, worse thing that could happen is that your order gets cancelled =P
Looks like a 15% restocking fee. Not my favorite...
Got shot down again on Price Match request with Best Buy, who said Microcenter's nearest store was too far from me to qualify. (Got shot down previously on HHGregg deal, cuz they said they didn't match online-only deals).
But lots of people do report success with the Price Match thing at Best Buy, so it doesn't hurt to try.

There are 10+ in stock near me in Columbus, Ohio
If I didn't have one already I'd go pick one up.
Pulled the trigger. Wish their overnight shipping wasn't $60 but oh well. Still paid under $500 with shipping and tax. SCORE!!
Can't wait
Pulled the trigger too. Will update when I get it. But Microcenter has one of the best customer service I've encountered. The manager always comes to shake my hand whenever I buy a notebook. Its kind of odd XD. So I am pretty sure they will find some way to accomindate you or at least store credit maybe?
Isn't it kinda odd seeing two companies now having it below the usual price of $500? Asus can't make them quick enough to even keep up with demand. People are waiting for these that are in backorder at other places. Why sell them for less when they will already sell out for a higher price?

Can't explain why Microcenter is selling at their price, but HH Gregg already said theirs was a mistake that they're honoring.

Microcenter is selling it at 449$ because they are the new kid on the block I think. They are offering ALL tablets at a discount of 50$.
Microcenter has been selling any Android or Windows tablet priced $299.99 and up for $50 off for months now. If you go to their website and scroll down a little, it's advertised on the right. Since they are now selling the TFP, it falls into that discount.

I can find it from the home page by searching for "TF201-B1-GR" or "Eee Transformer Tablet".
Also, the link comes up first if you do a Google search for "TF201-B1-GR microcenter" Or you can search on "TF201-B1-GR" in Google Shopping, and the link comes up.
Ok.. changed my location to Columbus/OH and the search came up. They have it in stock. I was looking at another location that didn't have any in stock and doing a search there didn't come up with any results.
best buy price match is so gay.
they seem to have the tablet in chicago, not in ny. bestbuy wont match it cuz, its more than 25 miles from my loc...
i argued that bestbuy doesnt even have it at there locations.. wtf
pisses me off i paid 499.. when hhgreg had it for 399 and now microcenter has it for 449. with a couple days.
oh wells.
I just called the bestbuy online number from the hhgregg thread and the first guy had no problem giving me my $50 refund. Took about 5 minutes on the phone and got confirmation already as well.
Just needed my online order number and then told him about the price, asked where it was, said no problem.
Not sure if this works for matching if you bought it at a store but if you bought it online should be no problem.
fyi for all of you that ordered from this place - microcenter ONLINE does not have tprimes in stock, they never had them in stock and the web site's "In Stock" status is an error. all the incoming orders are going into a queue, just like everyone else, and they are hoping to receive some in "the next week or two", just like everyone else (best buy and tigerdirect excluded from this generalization, as these seem to be the winners that most available stock is being funneled to).
Anyone know their return policy? The store in St Louis Park, MN is showing 10+ in stock which I find suspicious but I am nervous about buying from a place like this as far as returns go.
Edit - Looks like 15% restock fee but that is for online orders. I can't find anywhere it discusses tablets or orders you pick up.
Edit 2 - Meh, it just throws an error if I try to add one for in store pickup.
Edit 3 - I guess they don't like Chrome, IE worked fine. Picking it up tonight.
No email from Best Buy regarding my G3 for Verizon. Supposed to be released today 7/17 but website now says Release Date: To be announced.
Called my local store and they have confirmed they do not have any g3s nor have any information on their arrival. I would just go to a Verizon store but I have a 50 dollar gift card that I can apply towards the G3!.
Post any information you may have collected or heard.

I didn't get an email today either but I went into Best Buy this afternoon anyways. I just handed the guy my pre-order paperwork and said "I'm here to pick up and activate my Verizon G3". The guy said "oh I think they're still in the back, they just came off the truck". Sure enough, he came back with it and I'm typing this on it now. I'm not sure if they weren't sopposed to give it to me or not but I figured I'd give it a shot. I still haven't gotten the email from Best Buy either. You might get lucky if you go in and just act like you got the email. Good luck!

Interesting. Maybe their just a little late getting to California stores....
The Best Buy stores in my area received them today (the 17th). We received the AT&T and Sprint ones a little ahead of the release but the Verizon ones we recieved day of. Give it a day or so and they will have them if they don't already. I don't know how the email system works, but it might indeed be worth it to walk in and ask.
Seems like the bigger city stores got them but not the smaller cities. I called my local store, Ames, IA and they said Des moines had some but theirs were still on order.
I got this email today:

Interesting. It doesn't look like everyone has received these emails. When did you place your order? Mine was first thing in the morning on 7/11 and AFAIK they didn't have the pre-order available on 7/10 like VZW, so I'm fairly confident I'm one of the first folks that pre-ordered. A rep I spoke with did confirm that they're going to ship in the order in which the orders were placed, so maybe there's some sort of issue where they realized they don't have enough stock to cover all pre-orders and are send emails to folks who ordered after some cutoff time? Another possible thought might be that if you pre-ordered and had one of the expedited shipping options (i.e. your expected delivery was yesterday or today) and they knew they weren't going to meet the estimated time they sent the email?
All speculation of course hinging on my hope that I might see a new phone in the next 4 weeks.

Look like store availability is running on the site. Might what to check your location.
I think they are all screwed up over there. Has anyone tried to order and have the phone shipped to home? I keep getting that the shipping option is not available on the Verizon model. I went into the store yesterday and ask about Shipping and they said that this phone would have to be activated in the store.
Getting absolutely nowhere with BB support. Judging by the twitter conversation I had with them, it doesn't look like they've started shipping any devices at all, with no estimate on when they'll start.
Since we're all on here twiddling our thumbs until they give us something to chew on, anyone care to share when they pre-ordered and whether they've received a delay email?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Best Buy for thinking that's correct and laughing at that employee for having to make that phone call. They are just asking for it.
I just went into my local best buy and they didn't even know they had them in the storage shelves right behind them. I had to tell the guy the phone came out yesterday and then he checked for it. I didn't get to use the $50 upgrade promotion but they did let me use the $50 towards accessories like a screen protector, case, and audio aux cable. Loving the phone so far.
Had a pre order with Amazon.got an email this morning saying delay this delay that sorry wah wah. Cancelled order went on best buy website. Paid for replacement device(full price) got my your pickup is ready email. Typing from my amazing g3. Best buy chick was on top of it. Even have ne me the option for her to activate it or me at home. I said. Me (duh). Popped SIM in as soon as I was in the car. The rest is history. I did pay more at best buy but I call it a(I want my device now) fee.

We have Verizon LG G3 in Washington DC BBC ?
I am still waiting for my 10th Of July preorder from Verizon not BestBuy.
Amazon, UDP, $400 Activation Fee
Wonder if you go with Amazon and perform sim swap trick to maintain UDP, would you be hit with the $400 fee for not activating it Amazon's way? Given the delays with BB, I'm almost tempted to take a shot with Amazon but wouldn't necessarily want to get hit with an extra $400 for not following their directions. Any experiences buying phones off Amazon but maintaining UDP with sim trick?
Went to best buy and upgraded with Verizon edge and they gave me a 100$ gift card. They had a 24 inch 1080p TV for 120. So I got the TV for 30$ put the door ..glad I upgraded

Samsung is having a buy one get one free promotion on their official wireless chargers until March 19th!
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-PN920TBEGUS?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000946
Thanks for posting this. Sammobile reported it as well, but I think the link they had in their story went to the wrong item...or the promotion wasn't live yet. It would be nice if they offered the stand-up chargers as a BOGO also, but the flat models will do. I know enough people to find someone the free one will benefit. Sure, Ebay and Amazon offer fast chargers at a cheaper price, but the BOGO deal makes it worth while to get official Samsung. Again, thanks for posting a good link to the deal.
Tempting, but man that's expensive. My $14 Anker one is doing just fine.
Damn it, I though I got a good deal only paying 52.99 at Best Buy for mine. Got it today and it works great.
So if i purchase on Amazon I will be shipped 2 for the price of one?
I ordered within 15 minutes of the promotion going live and already got an Email saying they were back ordered. That's pretty crappy preparation for a promotion. The Email still shows I will get them both, it just doesn't give a date.

Does the link in the OP go to Amazon?

No it does not but the Samsung page didn't have a button to order. It only had a button that said find a local or online retailer. Thanks captain obvious who didn't realize his smart remark isn't so obvious. If you aren't going to help why comment at all?
I called Samsung and they said the button was probably disabled because they are out. Nowhere does it say its out of stock though!
Apparently they are having issues. It was supposed to run through the 19th. I guess they bit off more than they can chew. Sorry for wasting your time.
Do these charge the phone faster than other Q chargers?
Just a word about being careful when dealing with Samsung.
I ordered the BOGO wireless charger deal that Samsung announced on the 16th of March within 15 minutes of the promotion going live. The same day, I received an Email from Samsung telling me both items (the wireless charger and the free one) were backordered.
Another week or so went by and I still had not received notification of shipment so I used Samsung's customer service page to Email them about it. The next day I received another Email telling me that my items were due to arrive at their facility with an ETA of 3/24/2016. On March 26 I received another Email from Samsung once again stating that my items had been backordered. I Emailed them back on the same day telling them to immediately cancel my order. They Emailed me back the next day the cancellation had been submitted.
Fast forward to today (March 29) and I get four more Emails from them. The first three were all sent at the exact same time (8:08PM my time). The first Email was a shipping confirmation (but for ONLY one charger, not the two I was supposed to get), the second Email was letting me know Samsung initiated a return on my request but if I would not be able to refuse the package to follow the directions below...(no directions were given). The third Email once again stated that a return has been initiated and did have further instructions. The instructions were basically just an RMA number and an address. NO return shipping label or anything!
A fourth Email arrived at 10:05PM, again with the same RMA number and address to send the package back to. I promptly Emailed them back telling them that I would not pay return shipping for their repeated mistakes and that I would stop payment on the credit card. I told them if they wanted anything back they would need to Email me a return label for shipping at their expense. It will be interesting to see what they respond back with.
They are idiots or crooks. Either way, beware.
I'm getting the same crap from them. I told them I wanted it cancelled; a day or two later I receive emails saying it's being shipped and that I'll have to ship it back. I've already ditched my S7 and went back to my Nexus 6P for now and now I have to deal with this. I'm attempting to get my money back right now. Way to go Samsung.....
P.S. - I'm sorry I ever posted this promo.
