Easiest thing would be to call their customer service. However I had good luck with the TF101 getting one when Newegg was selling them at launch and I have faith in them now. I keep checking my Pre-Order and my email as well as the sight for any updates. I've seen them update the Asus tablet page and remove the other tablets and put them back. Unless they wait until the last minute to update the page we may luck out and get it early. Otherwise they can always fallback on the fact that it says ETA and not actual release date.
For what it's worth, since I am a Campus Rep for ASUS, I can tell you all that the company has pretty strong ties with Newegg as that's who we use for our official campus store. If any company gets them on release date my bet would be with Newegg.
Just my two cents

Not wanting to read into it but is 12/8 the actual release date? Since thats the date most retailers had initally before they changed it to the following week or two afterwards. If so then I definitely expect Newegg to have it on the date listed especially since every other retailer has been covering themselves and changed their dates while Newegg hasn't.

my Bestbuy.com order status still says it gets released 12/18. I would love to get that one wrong!
Who was the source in Taiwan. Do we have someone on record as saying that? I know all of the media outlets were stating those dates on the day of the conference but I was never sure of an actual source.
What are they telling you as campus sales rep. When will you have one (or more) in hand?

I was skeptical for the same reason because no source was ever mentioned, no picture of any date was shown, nor was any video of the conference recorded.
My job is not as a sales rep... Just a Campus Rep. I'm supposed to promote the awareness and benefits of the products on campus by holding demo events, Q&A's, and reviewing new products. I'm going to contact my boss to see if I can get some more details.

Thanks that would be great. Sorry that I erroneously added 'sales' into your title. Not sure why I made you a salesman. I think it would help your cause on campus to be able to definitively state when the product is available. Here's to hoping your boss has an answer!

Sending an email now. I'll post when I get a response.
It would really make my weekend if they shipped it out on the 8th!! Anyone know if it is possible to change shipping address on a newegg order? Their customer rep said I couldn't change since the order was "on hold". Will be hard for me to time it right so I can change the shipping address right after they receive it, but before they ship it out...
I forgot to put my office address in there and don't want them to leave it outside my house, or worse yet - take it back to the UPS hub on the day of delivery.

My Best Buy pre-order says the 18th, but I was told I'd have it on the 13th. Maybe that date is for the in store date? Hoping so!
I love Newegg, but I have had some bad experiences with their pre-order stuff. Normally the release date is wrong, it comes later than the real release date, and once I got the incorrect product. I would hope they have gotten better, but when I made my preorder I stuck to Best Buy that had a physical presence so I could return or exchange without a hassle (hopefully) if there is a problem.
However, the official release date is the 19th for the US. There have been a lot of rumors and Asus officials have no been in sync with the information, but this finally seems official.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/as...ts-official-release-date-for-8th-of-december/
Nevermind the 8th in the title, this article was updated. So the Best Buy date of the 18th is probably correct because that is when they will ship it. I just hope they have enough stock.

First time doing a pre-order with Newegg personally but I've bought lots of items from them in the past and have always been really good service. Of course service will always differ from one experience to the next. The way I see it is if they do get them on the 8th and ship them then thats a plus. If they get them on the 8th and ship the following week it falls in line with that 12th date that was thrown around with the 18th. And if it's not until the 18th then well it's the same as everyone else. All that matters at this point is when we all recieve the device. Unfortunately the site you linked to doesn't have anymore concrete information than any of the other sites. They reference the launch trailer we all saw as having the date and I watched it again to make sure I didn't miss something and there is no date in that trailer. So again we are all just playing the wait game until these merchants recieve and ship out our devices.

when i ordered the OG transformer from them it was an open box 16gb on their website for $300, i ended up getting a 32gb open box in the mail though, so sometimes those little snafus are a good thing!

Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk
yeah i called about a week ago and they told me 18th to 23rd and i asked they clarify what that meant. As in day shipped or day received and the lady said 18th would be earliest day i would have it in my hands and 23rd being the latest. This was at best buy but i should also note it sounded to me like she just read off the computer a generic product shipment statement. No real knowledge when it came to the prime. This was at best buy. For anyone wondering i ordered the 27th champ. 32gb no dock. I wanna know why u think the 13th too before i get my hopes up...
**edit- I figured i should also note for people wondering this was for standard free shipping. i was talking to her about upgrading shipping and once she told me 18th to 23rd i decided to leave it alone.
Just browsing Asus's product site, I noticed that the "preorder" list had been removed (unless I'm looking at the wrong page: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features). I went to the "where to buy" tab and looked through some of the sites listed - a couple of places that weren't on the initial preorder list have them up now - J&R as we all know, but also allasus.com and PC Mall. I went ahead and called PC Mall to check on delivery time and the rep told me Dec. 12th. Now, of course, I doubt that is accurate, but it's news at least.
I have an order for the 64 GB Prime (Gray) at Amazon and have not received the cancellation notification yet.
However, just to be on the safe side, I also pre-ordered from J&R.
Well, just about 5 minutes ago, J&R called me and told me that the 64 GB (Gray) will not be shipped out until January 2012 due to Asus suspending the shipment.
How is it that I keep reading on here that Gamestop would have it available on December 19 ? Why is it that Asus suspend the Prime on some store and not on others? Strange.

This seems to be the same thing that happened to the Amazon preorders.
None of the "official" ASUS preorder sites took orders on the 64GB version... I'm wondering if I just shouldn't expect this until mid-January. No date in December for a 64GB version seem to be panning out...

Given that Gamestop is listed as an official preorder destination on Asus' website, and J&R is not, I don't find this all that surprising. There is almost certainly an extra middleman distributor supplying stores like J&R, Adorama, and some of the other sites folks have found to order one, but Asus' commitment is to their official preorder outlets, and making sure they have enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
I haven't received a call from J&R yet, but I figure I will. When did you order yours Earthbrain?
This seems to be the trend. Newegg still seems to be on track, as is gamestop. ASUS is funneling the supply into a more focused retail base, and seems to staying true to their main channel partners.
Certainly no doubt at this point that there is a huge shortage of this thing...what concerns me is that there was such a huge initial preorder allocation, and it isn't that they are running out of preorder slots, it's that the stock just isn't appearing in the supply chain...which in the industry usually means a manufacturing issue.
That is of course unless ASUS just grossly underestimated the demand.

Crap. I ordered mine on Sunday, and I got the 32GB flavor which you would think would be in even shorter supply. I guess I'll call them today.
So weird that it seems like my Gamestop preorder is going to be the one that holds up at this point.
I placed my order a while ago and got the "backordered" email, but that was explained to me that they must send it if the unit isn't available or a special pre-order. I was told it's still on target for the 15th as they hadn't received new info.

I'm not sure this forum and those placing pre-orders is a good indicator for demand. The technophiles here may only represent a tiny percentage of the population. I think we'll find out when they hit Amazon or Newegg if they remain in stock.

I'm skeptical of the huge demand as well. I live in a small twin city situation with about 200,000 people within 2 towns 20 miles apart. Between the two Gamestops in my area that sell tablets (there are 3 or 4 GS's per town) there have only been two preorders. Total. Me and one other guy. I will be interested to see the initial sales numbers on this device. I think overall, to the general public, Android tablets have a bad(cheap) name. At the GS in the town neighboring mine the manager said they are about to quit carrying tablets all together due to low demand.
Don't get me wrong though. I think this tablet should be creating some demand and likely will once more normal people see it. I have just not been convinced of it's huge preorder demand as of yet.

They don't really seem to know and in fact got their colors wrong on initial pre-orders. Anyway, they claim they are a big retailer and that's true so they expect first availability. I think it is encouraging that they were told a date by Asus for their in stock date.

When my order got canceled on amazon, same day as everyone and I ordered on the 22nd also, I came and order at JR that evening using google checkout. They still haven't called me saying they've canceled. Any chance I'm going to get a 32gb champagne gold? Should I call them and check the date? I don't have much faith in this order.
Yesterday, I put in a preorder at a gamestop location. They say that they are one of the location receiving the prime and I was the first one to preorder at that location. They said that they didn't have any in stock yesterday but expecting to arrive before 19th. I think they only have the 32gb grey. I'll settle for that if I have to. Would like to get what I wanted from JR to avoid tax also, but not getting a good feeling. I've got so many stuff canceled on me this holiday I'm getting pissed.
Any good news from anyone out there. You guys been told of the date that it will be available or something that's not canceled?
My guess is that the general public don't really know or care too much about this, it's not like an apple product or anything. Yet, I'm surprise that asus still fail to supply again.

Just to reiterate what others have said, I called J&R to verify my preorder today and was told that they wouldn't receive any units until sometime early next year. I originally pre-ordered on Sunday the 4th, but it sounds like they won't get any stock until the new year, no matter when you got your order in.
I had two separate preorders for tablet & dock, and cancelled them both.

If it's important to you, I would hedge my bets and get in the car. The guy I spoke with made it sound as if the Primes in general wouldn't show up until the new year, not that my Prime wouldn't show up until then.
Can't hurt to hang on to your preorder, but I don't think you should count on it at this point.

Be happy you knew when the release date was--I preordered the Nexus 7 and had to wait more than two weeks, most of the time in the dark as to when it was actually being shipped out. Not only that, but brick-and-mortar stores ended up selling them before Google had shipped the preorders. It was really annoying and ten times more tortuous than this.

Mine says Pending Shipment. Ordered the 6th.
It seems that AT&T is giving priority to business customers, as most others seem to be stuck in limbo as Premier customers have theirs shipped out already.

Not all business customers. I ordered mined on the 4th. still shows pending shipment. Although hopeful that it will change before Tuesday.
I ordered on 4/4 right when pre-orders started and my phone changed to shipped just a bit ago with a tracking number that doesn't work just yet.

Not more than a couple minutes, if that.
Mine shipped too. Received the notification on 4PM central. Its actually surprising that I'm expected to receive it April 17th
Also, in case someone gets worried about the HTC Media Link that's supposed to some with it: I called customer care because my shipment notice didn't include it, but the rep said that it should come as an in-box accessory. Would have to wait and see if that's really the case.
to those who received their tracking numbers, was it for the 32gb or 64gb version? mine is for the 64gb and i still dont have a tracking number.
I have a dev edition coming but i ordered a 64 gb from ATT today. Just got off the phone actually. They jacked my premier site up and the shopping tab wasnt visible. They fixed that but said it would be 24 hours before it showed up. So i called in and ordered. I asked if they were on back order, she checked the SKU of the 64gb and said it showed -157 (negative). I wonder if that is the total amount ordered or the amount on backorder... She didnt know. Anyway they knocked 200 off the price even though i got an upgrade in November. Added overnight fed ex. Hopefully it ships tomorrow.
Mind's 32gb normal ed. Its also through FedEx if that makes any difference and I placed my order on the 4th.

64gb here and no tracking information yet. Still pending shipment! Ordered the 4th. Premier customer.
Thought this would be a good thread. Seeing as everyone in the other thread just have 32 and 64GB devices. I ordered mine before the official link went up and its supposed to leave by the end of today. I'm supposed to get it between the 28-29th but I don't see that happening.
subscribe if it doesn't get locked. would be interested to see the first few 128gb being shipped to judge how long i have to wait
Pending here, 128gb frost. I made my final order on the 6th. Canceled a few times before that. Good thing I settled on the last version to ship.

I see people getting emails from Google saying their orders won't arrive until Nov. 07-14, along with a $25 refund. I'm still waiting for that email. I guess I wouldn't mind $25 off.

That would mean it would be delivered around Nov. 7th as that email says so thats likely when they plan on shipping

I got it today from [email protected] at 4:11pm pacific time. My phone was supposed to ship today. You'll probably get an email soonish, or on the 5th.
Google has over a month to get this crap together and they still couldn't do it. Cant even get a damn preorder right ffs... So disappointed right now
128 gb Aluminum, expected date Nov 5. ?

Great news! My 128GB is $25 cheaper now. Making it an even better deal. Yay!
I haven't received this email yet so we'll see. Why anyone would be in a rush for a pre ordered device is beyond me.

I hear you. I want the Frost one so I'm going to be waiting anyway.. Might as well get free money. I mean Nov 7-14 is already intersecting with my 5-9 current estimate.. Not that big a deal.
ordered 128gb aluminum on sept 30,with leaving warehouse date of Nov 2... I don't think it will ship before like with 32gb and 64gb. I'm just hopping it doesn't get delayed
I ordered mine on 10/2, aluminum. Did it through project fi with the financing. Expected window is 11/12-11/16. We will see when it gets closer...

You realize it was Huawei and not Google right? Google cant ship what they havent been given.
I ordered the Frost White color. Its in pending status with and ETA Nov 2 - 3. I hope it comes in before the 5th as I am leaving the states for a whole month. If i don't receive by the 4th , I will cancel it.

Then put Huawei into that sentence if you like. I really don't believe that Google did not have the ability to work with (or pressure) Huawei into delivering a smooth release.
I contacted Google Support after getting the email about the shipping delay, when they checked my order they said it was still shipping today... Why do they not give their CS Reps actual real information? Its so frustrating.

Replace Google with Huawei and you are closer
EDIT: You beat me to it
I'm sure Google pressured Huawei like crazy. They want to be shipping the phones just as bad as you want them too
I hate to start another waiting room thread, but I stumbled across a few articles wherein Samsung commits to every preorder being delivered by 9/14. Here's one:
http://bgr.com/2017/09/08/galaxy-note-8-preorders-sales-numbers-vs-galaxy-s8/
"Some customers who pre-ordered from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Samsung.com have already received their devices, and Samsung has said that any customers who order a Note 8 from Samsung.com today will receive it on or before September 14th — still a day before it’s scheduled to show up in stores."
A different article stated that Samsung is doing this to deflate the upcoming I-Phone release. Anyone have any thoughts on this? With all the late september/early october shipping estimates that we got when we ordered (I ordered unlocked under the note 7 promo last week, got an October 1st shipping estimate), is it possible that they will all be delivered this week?
Dud I also got the Oct 1 date for the unlocked version, I would call Samsung if you can't wait.
I never said I can't wait... did I?
Just a recent news story to provoke thoughtful discussion on a somewhat hot forum topic.
I don't know, doesn't seem to be any logic or reason behind Samsung shipping phones. Some people ordered last Friday and got the phones yesterday or today. Some like myself ordered on the 24th and still have nothing. Would like to believe it, but I will be surprised at this point If I get my phone this week. Samsung already failed to live up to its promises made to me, so I don't have much faith in them.

There is already a thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/note-8-direct-samsung-waiting-t3664065
Why didnt you just post it there if you didnt want to start another thread
and yes.. its 3 more days bro the release date has always been 14th - 15th for early pre-orders
Unlocked Note 8
Ordered Samsung.com 8/24
Delivered 9/7
I wish that I ordered from Samsung or Verizon, instead of Best Buy. As of this morning, my phones are still sitting in preordered status. My card hasn't even been charged yet. No way that I'll have it by 9/15.

Cancel your order then go to a BB and get your phone there on 9/15? Or is the $150 off for orders before 9/15 only?

The $150 is only for preorders. That goes away on the 15th. That's the only reason that I did it that way.

Yeah, if it were me, I can wait a few days for $150
Or in my case... I can wait till the 14th..cause the note 8 only cost $525...

Yup. My Note 4 is still holding up. I can wait.
Just a bit jealous of all of the people who already have them. I know that this is how BB does things, though. Is what it is, I guess.
Looks like this was fud as well. 14th is here, and I doubt mine will show up. I now hopefully will get it before October. The 150 dollars in now going on week 3 of watching other people get thier phones. Doesn't help that Samsung customer lack of service has mislead me time and time again.
