asus will not honor my warranty - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

After arguing with the rma robots at asus several times they told me that there is nothing wrong with my prime if the wifi and the bluetooth dont work together. WHAT ???????????? How can they get away with this ?

we paid the money for it
so we're the suckers for doing it
they don't give a damn about us ~_~;;
i got to the point where the guys at RMA isn't responding to my email, posted on their FB and they don't reply to it either

so effin unreliable
several times they promised to get back to me the same day------------------------------never happened

They should be driven out of the US
Just talked to a lawyer,he gave me good info on Federal Trade Commission that may help get my tablet fixed.

Look for a refund and not a fix in all honesty.

they wont refund or fix

Even though all those customers at amazon ,bestbuy and others got refunds they WILL NOT give me a refund or fix it.This is one cruel nasty company.

This sounds like standard operating procedure over at good old Asus. They are very close to having the worst customer service ever.

Asus have beta users with money..

Ask for Level 2 or 3 staff if the Level 1 staff (read: script readers) refuse to help.

As a lawyer, the price one paid for a TF Prime would barely cover one hour of my time. ...sometimes it's worth letting **** go.

simply, we just dont know. Nobody knows. You'll get it sometime within the next month, that's all we have

So if anyone has any new info (when they plan to receive their shipment!) Let me know!

Hmm...
Just checked, New-egg.com US website still showing ETA of 12/27- They are a major electronics e-tailer here in the US, so I am "cautiously optimistic" that something may change and they receive stock and ship at or around the same time as Best-Buy on 12/18. They haven't sent any e-mails or any updates since they changed the original ship date from 12/8 to 12/27..... Just a ray of hope is all I have left to cling to..... what has become of me??? I ask myself- will my prime ever arrive to save the day???

Transcript from Live Chat with Newegg Rep 12/15/11
My Transcript from Live Chat with Newegg Rep on 12/15/11:
( I may have slightly exaggerated ship date from best buy just to see what they would say)
Victor: Hi, my name is Victor. How may I help you?
ME: Asking for update on my pre-order status... any update on when this item will ship from newegg???
ME: Best-Buy has notified they will be shipping this item before the end of the week, and that Asus will have stock available for all supply chains this week- any updated information will be appreciated on the ETA of shipping on my preorder of this item.- Thank you
Victor: I'd be happy to help you with that. May I please have a moment to look into this for you?
ME: sure , thank you very much
Victor: You are welcome.
Victor: Thank you very much for holding. I show the ETA is 12/27/2011, once the item was released the pre-order will transfer to a normal order to process.
ME: is this ETA set in stone for pre-orders, or is there a possibility it may ship sooner if stock arrives?
Victor: Its an ETA of release date. Once the item release, the pre-order will transfer to normal order to process
ME: thank you for your time- I appreciate the support, I will end the session.
* I was surprised not to get anything else... He did say it was an ETA, so take this as you will.
Given that Newegg posted the 12/27 ETA over a week ago when it seemed that no retailer had any idea when they'd be arriving, I don't see how the date could be set in stone. It's unfortunate that no one at customer service has any idea what's going on, but since I haven't heard that date from any other seller, I'm assuming it's pretty meaningless. Just wish I knew whether there's any chance we'll get them before Xmas.
I think we should call their warehouse
Here is the number for their south California warehouse as they are the only ones listed as a will call pickup warehouse
(626) 271-1580
Someone please call

Just purchased SGS2 2 weeks ago....

... and AT&T puts the thing on sale for $9.99. Think I can get an $80 refund?
If not, I'll just return it and get a new one since I'm within my 30 day window Not to mention, there is 1 dead pixel I could technically complain about but would let slide if I can get a refund.
Your within your warranty period, take it back for price adjustment. If they *****, return for full refund, drive 4 blocks up the road and buy a brand new one for $9.99.

Yeah he was supposed to sell it to me and I waited 2 weeks without a reply or anything. He said something went wrong with shipping and sent it back out and I waited another 2 weeks without anything. He then finally stated he shipped it, which was a lie and ended up giving me a refund a few days later. He blatlantly lied to me and wasted my time for a month straight. Time I could have spent buying another case. And now he decides to put it back up on here? Wow... You can buy this for much cheaper on ebay brand new anyways. I would avoid this guy.

I also payed for it the same day he agreed to the transaction. So it wasn't like he was waiting on my payment or anything. It really strikes a nerve that he would repost this up for sale after all the crap I went through with him. I would rather not have anyone go through the whole quagmire I went through.
He has been known to do this. He had his rezound sold to someone and the guy said he was waiting for the tracking. He then offers his rezound for my old Droid 4 and when I found this out, I backed out and then suddenly he shipped out the Rezound to the guy smh not trusted

Try it maybe they found a way.

I don't even know how 'reliable' that site is... Every major company (Dell, Apple, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, just to name a few) seems to have majority of negative comments and I personally know they aren't bad with their customer service. At least, not when I (or any friends / people I know) had to deal with them.

Y asus no recall prime?

Why hasn't Asus just gone ahead and issued a recall for the Prime?
It would alleviate SO MANY problems by allowing everyone to return the Prime and get their money back. It would be customer friendly...

ASUS=Big Company, once they have your money they could care less about you, and their garbage device. Besides from their standpoint its to expensive to recall such an old device, especially since they are ignoring its problems.

+1 on the prime recall. It should have been done. It's not that fair that people that purchased them from best buy or amazon got to take them back while the rest of us are stuck. It should have been recalled as soon as the all metal back became a problem. It is a crappy design.

Listen, in all honesty, thanks for thread crapping and the display of your Paint prowess.
But I would reserve the jackass button for you Joe since you have your companies stuff linked on your profile. Just look at clickonpc.com, its social media presence, its... everything.
Now, if you could go fester in a different pile, lets get a real discussion and maybe input into a recall so that some of us dont get stuff in endless RMA circles.

As much as we would all like the Prime to be recalled... It would also be logical to think that as much Asus would like to solve all of our problems, what's in for them to do that when you've got your money already in their hands ( At least in a direct monetary aspect)
But one would also consider that building a good reputation would carry sales up from consumer trust
Oh well..
