I ordered 4/22 and just called for an update. The guy said their system indicated that the vendor was supposed to ship yesterday and that their system hasn't updated yet. He said if I don't get more info tomorrow then call back. I'm not holding my breath. I don't know how anything could ship on Easter Sunday.

If amazon has it for sale tomorrow and I don't have a tracking number from aafes, I'll be cancelling my order. The only reason I bothered with them in the first place was because I thought I could get it sooner.

i ordered on the 14th was charged 18th and i still havent seen anything yet. if tomorrow I dont get a update ill be getting my 500$ back also.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
I'm going to stick with it until I get confirmation from somewhere else that it's shipped.. you never know all stores could be going through the same issue and noone will have it till after it ships from aafes.... wouldn't be good to cancel your aafes order just to find out its going to take you two more weeks from somewhere else, and by the time you reorder with aafes you're SOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
Found out that it wont ship out for me till thurs so i asked what if i canceled and they said it would take a week to get the money back so i posted this on the transformer fase boot after re looking at my bank info.

Kenne Johnston was going to be that I'd have it this week but now finding out that I wont till end of next week really sucks even though I've been billed. Not to fond of this start already. Ordered from Aafes on the 14th billed 19th shipped 28th.

Im really pissed off at Asus. If tomorrow I dont get it shipped then I will be canceling and getting the Acer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
decided to go with the 16gb ... since all indications is the 32gb is going to take forever... used amazon.com @ $399 with free 1 day shipping and cancelled my aafes order.. should get my money in 3 business days... good luck everyone
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
An AAFES rep just called to inform me that my order is on backorder with the vendor (even though I placed the order on the 14th...) It is now expected to ship mid May.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
mine was a email with 17th of may. so i asked for my money back and just grabbed a acer a gew min ago its charging here at work. tonight ill work on root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
Is the 32GB vers. back order untill mid May?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Yes. My order was for the 32GB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
i had both
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
I'm confused what was the point ASUS to be able to pre order early at AAFES only to have it on back order.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
i dont know but the ceo of asus will have a page long email.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eljeffe991:
Just managed to get an order in with Tigerdirect. $10 for two day shipping. I have given up on the 32GB and went for the 16. Going to cancel with AAFES the moment I have a tracking #. Way to bone the military, Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] airbornejones:
I ordered mine fro AAFES on the 25th. I had placed on earlier but they didn't process my order properly. What do you think the odds of actually getting one next week are? I ordered it before it sold out so.........
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Seeing how I was one of the first to order from AAFES (4/14) and I was told my order is "backordered" until mid-May, I seriously doubt you will be getting one next week unless you find another retailer...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eljeffe991:
Same here. Ordered on the 15th. As far as I know no one has gotten a tracking number from them and are all being told May even though they were the first to offer ordering (NOT preorder) in the U.S. I say cut your losses. I normally never shop at AAFES. I only ordered because the website indicated it was in stock before anyone else. Of course I should have known better.

I still think it's ridiculous that they tell you that being able to shop at AAFES is a benefit of being in the military. The only people that fall for this are retirees that don't realize that Wal-Mart (even with taxes) and the internet are still cheaper. I caught Tiger Direct this afternoon when they had a few in stock and am cancelling my AAFES order.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cochese135:
Yea, AAFES sucks....I guess i will wait it out for the 32GB unless i see it available elsewhere. As long as i get it before my trip to turkey in june, i will be good to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
Damn, I'm guessing I won't have much luck either since I placed my order on Monday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChaOConnor:
Everyone who ordered through AAFES is SOL at this point. I called like many have and confirmed the "supplier" (Could be ASUS direct or some third party that handles electronic supplies for AAFES) won't have them till mid-May. The best part was I was told it was due to the tragedy in Japan. I could be wrong, but I thought most of the components, if not all, were manufactured by ASUS in Taiwan. Whatever...

Point is, if you ordered through AAFES you're going to wait. They never had it in in stock and clearly it wasn't a pre-order. This is a major foul on all parties involved. :-(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
What is really bothers me is that AAFES has known for at least 24 hours that this product wont be available until mid-May but they still make no mention of that on the product page. Customers are still able to purchase without any warning of the delay...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ms960:
Ordered mine on 4/25 as well. I see my credit card has been charged already, but the shipping date on my order is 5/2. Sounds like they're charging people for orders even though there is no stock for the item, which stinks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
More bad news for ya. 5/2 isn't actually when it will ship, that is just the +7 day rule on all vendor direct orders. You might want to add a couple more weeks onto that expected date...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ms960:
Yep, you're right.

I don't expect to see any sign of this thing until mid-May, at the very earliest.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eljeffe991:
Just got this from customer service in response to my inquiry about why my order hasn't shipped. Unbelievable:

Good afternoon eljeffe991,

SED INTL has advised that the item X672H - TRNSFRMR TABLT DK BRN EEEPAD has not yet been released by the manufacturer. There was a delayed release of the Android3.0 O/S, so the current ETA is mid-May. Please note this date is not a guarantee and may change without notice. . Do you wish to retain this order, or cancel for a refund? Please let me know by reply email so I can inform the vendor of your choice. Please reply with the next 5 business days. We must have your permission to retain this order or this item will be cancelled from your order and your account refunded.

I apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause.

I will be sending them an angry response regarding their practice of falsely advertising and taking money for an item they never had in stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
I just called AAFES and requested that they update the availability status for this product and she said "Unless the product is discontinued, we will not update it."

Why would they change it when they are happily collecting payments for products they are not shipping...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
SED International's website requires a login to access inventory and prices. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] airbornejones:
I just spent a long time with AAFES on live chat. I first tried to get a price match to the $399.99 price and was told they could not match the price. The said because the item says sold out or back ordered on other sites that they can't match the price. I then had her call the supplier and they told her a possible ship time on mid-May. Like you guys I should have known better than to shop through AAFES but I wanted to put $300 of it on my star card. They have the worst customer service and policies ever.

And now I impatiently wait......
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
Have the rest of you guys been charged for your order with no indication as to when it'll ship? I don't mind waiting. But I definitely mind them taking the money and being given no clues as to when our items will ship :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ChaOConnor:
Yes, that's what happens when a direct from vendor item is ordered. I just called and canceled by AAFES order. I don't have an order with any other site, but this is ridiculous. They charged me $420, essentially knowing they had no way to deliver at release, and now I get a vague "mid-May" statement. I'll wait till the dust settles and by a 32GB version in September time frame maybe.

Good luck everyone!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
I filed a BBB report last night along with a phone call telling them to cancel and them saying ok back on tuesday and my order as of yesterday says shiped. Waiting to hear back from some1.

Sent with my Acer A500 Ti-X RC1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ms960:
Just called AAFES. They told me my order will ship on 5/4, and that their system wasn't showing any problems with the order or stock. I have absolutely 0% confidence in that happening, but will see what happens. If it goes beyond the original 7 day ship window, then I'll probably just cancel. It bugs me too that they charge us before they even have the item in hand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
I got this reply from AAFES in response to an email I sent them.

Dear ______,

In reference to your order, please be advised that your order is due to ship out early May. This is not a guaranteed date and may change at any time. Once your item ships you should receive an email notification which may have the tracking number for you to better determine the date of delivery. If you should need further assistance, please contact us back. Have a great day.

I have no way to know if they're BS'ing me or not since they don't really commit to anything. I ordered the 32gb in case anyone is wondering.

I don't think I should be holding my breath.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Lol, AAFES just did a price drop on the 32GB model. It is now $489. I have no idea why they even bother with a $5 off sale price when they still don't have any to ship...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
Anyone REC. Shipping or tracking INFO.

Just wondering if anyone has yet to get any update on their orders through

AAFES like a ship date or even a tracking number?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cochese135:
Still no update besides mid-may for me...im slowly counting down the days....

[Eee Pad Transformer General] maggotboy:
The 16 also dropped to 399 instead of 420 due to mothers day sale

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkflint723:
I got the exact same message in my inbox today. Also for the 32GB model.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
i still havent gotten mine yet but i got that email but mine says shipping. i filed a second bbb report against them

Sent with my Acer A500 Ti-X RC1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CedricMordrin:
I did as well. This has been one big charlie foxtrot by AAFES.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Same here. I noticed they pulled the listings for both 16GB and 32GB from their site...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkflint723:
This was the first time that I had ever ordered something through AAFES website and I'm sure this will be the last. Wish I had just ordered though Amazon when I placed my order for the dock. Oh well, it's in the past now and can't do much else other than keep waiting...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maggotboy:
Called today about the 16gb I ordered back on the 5th she said that its going to ship on the 14th since they just got some in stock with the vendor.... we will see how it goes...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
Saturday shipment

I will be surprised if you see shipment on a Saturday but all we can do is wait and see and hope they do not cancel our orders. I would put most of the blame on SED International as they appear to be the company supplying all of the AAFES inventory.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
Finally got one via Tiger Direct

Finally got one via Tiger Direct when NowinStock app alerted me that TD had stock in the 16GB & 32GB. My Daughter purchase through AAFES so canceling will be an issue getting my money back. Will they credit her CC or can she request a check be sent back? If it is too big of a hassle I'll just get it and sell it to a XDA member at my cost.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
they will credit her cc in 5to10business days when the vendor asus accepts the cancel order i canceled on the 26th release day and still waiting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
That sucks. I just sent an email to cancel my order with AAFES since I was able to snag one through Newegg. I hope the refund process doesn't take that long, they've had my money for long enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkflint723:
I just called and canceled my order with AAFES. I was able to get an order in with Newegg today for a 32GB TF. I just really hope that I will get refunded soon. I still don't understand why I was charged for something that the company never had on hand. Seems really shady.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cochese135:
I have cancel my order with AAFES as well. My 32gb has been shipped from best buy...hopefully I will recieve it next week. AAFES is awesome at one thing....being complete **** over and over again
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkflint723:
Just judging from this forum, it seems like AAFES is losing a lot of TF orders.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bologdl:
Loosing Orders and respect

I agree AAFES has done a poor job with this preorder promotion. Plus they were criminal at charging us and keeping our money with no product. Because of NowInStock I was able to purchase a TF 32GB at Tiger Direct for $15.00 more than AAFES was charging and that included two day shipping. So I should have my TF today. Hopefully I will still get my TF from AAFES so i can offer it to someone in the Forum at my cost. I do not want to give them additional time to keep my money in order to process a refund.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ms960:
Cancelled my AAFES order the other day as well after receiving mine from Amazon. No refund from them yet, which is the biggest issue I have with their business practices.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
i canceled the 26th and havent gotten paid
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
on monday i have an appointment to talk to a lawyer about this issue. as i feel BBB is now failing me. or they r to scared to touch asus and aafes

I need peoples help please email me your infor if you are having issues

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
Sent you an email. Since I just recently requested to cancel my order, I'm still hoping that I don't run into issues. If I do, I'll just take it up with my bank. (They better be helpful since I work for them)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkflint723:
Just sent you an email with requested information. I hope it helps your case. More than anything else, I just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

You would think that a business that deals only with military and DOD members they would have better customer support.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rreyes0416:
Everybody.....if you use your military star card....AAFES will charge you before you get your item...but it will only start charging interest when the item has arrived to your house...so don't worry about you seeing in the statement ...just verify that you aren't getting charged interest...and if you are ...just call and they will refund...so don't cancel if you don't have to...and don't panic if you cancel and they haven't refund the money because like I said they just separate the money from the card but no interest it's been charged...and if the charge you interest for something you don't have yet...then call and they will stop charging and refund any interest charged before ....that's on my own experience ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Good point. You guys need to relax...seriously. You're all acting like aafes is trying to con people?! They are not crooks, and maybe just a little unorganized. You will get your money back if you cancel your order. They are just real slow because aafes customer service doesn't request refunds from the star card directly. Its a separate company. So you must call them back to process it faster. Its not like its your personal money anyways. No interest until the item arrives! Aafes is a little behind on the times, but they're definitely getting better. Plus, you shouldn't be allowed to purchase anyways unless you're a dependant or in the reserves/retired. Order somewhere else then! Give me a break!

This is ridiculous!

ok well not every person has perfect credit like u or we dont use mommy and daddy to co sign for us. or some people have emergencies and so they can keep providing for their families they take things back. but the way you sound i doubt any person will stay with u longer then a night and your brother or sister dont count so ull never know what a family is.

so u can just sdfu since ur not helping the case.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Actually I honorable served in the army, so I don't need mommy and daddy. I understand if the money wasnt credited back when your family needed it most. I know what that's like and I apologize for offending anyone. I had a bad week. Im sorry and thank you for serving our country. :-)

k im sorry for snapping at you also. Its that I canceled on the 26th and the 5-10 days has long ago pasted. Some people just canceled their order and yes the 5-10 days hasn't come by but there are a few people that are in the same boat as me.

And thanks for servering before me which allowed me to serve.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Yeah I understand your gripe. It is ridiculous that they had it in stock and mislead everyone. That is poor business practice and should have never charged your card until it shipped out. Give aafes customer service a call again, and explain. They HAVE to process the refund expediently. They should also give you a huge coupon or something towards your next purchase! Damn aafes.

ok so i have bad news legal wont touch them. and also bbb says because aafes is gov. they cant do anything.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
I just wrote a long email to SED International's President and COO. However, I doubt I will get any response from them.

5/20 came and went without mention of the tablet actually shipping. I am thinking about having AAFES ship me a Xoom instead since they seem to be able to actually fulfill those orders. (Waiting to see if they will price match Walmarts sale price of $569).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Surprisingly enough, I received a reply thanking me for bringing this to his attention. He CC'd the Senior Product Manager and Sales Manager to address this issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Albaholic:
Got my refund today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] carrera0to60:
I also canceled my order of a 32gb since my Newegg order shipped. I havent received a refund yet.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
SED still doesn't know when Asus is going to ship their supplies. I tried to get them to send me a Xoom instead but they don't carry it (or any other tablets) so I had AAFES change my order to the Xoom with a price match of $569.

That is about what I would have spent after NY tax and shipping on the 32GB Transformer from another retailer so i am quite happy with jumping ship to Xoom since the pricetag was the only deal breaker for me.

I have been seeing product reviews show up on AAFES.com for the Xoom so it looks like they are actually fulfilling those orders, lol.

--------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

AAFES has managed to redeem themselves with me. I changed my order to the Xoom on Monday (5/23) and it is out for delivery today (5/25). I will just have to make sure SED Int. isn't a supplier for any future orders of mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
1 call AAFES

2 right away ask to talk to a manager or supervisor.

3 say u canceled you order but SED Int hasnt accepted it

4 have them call directly and they will get a cancel order

5 then the manager needs to call the refund department

(he then fills out a few things of paper work)

19min 32sec later

6 he will say in 24-48hours you will get your refund.

if you need help message me on GTalk if they dont help you.

Hello.

I'm thinking about getting a Galaxy Tab wifi only, but are there any other spec differences between the P1000 and the P1010 other than the missing 3G?

Any known software issues with the P1010?

Thank you

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HenrietteK:
Don't care about the BT. I think the gps is actually there. Can anyone confirm that?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bthoven:
It does have GPS.

The CPU is also different.

In summary, there are 3 differences:

1. CPU (not much different, I think)

2. GPU (thus can't play 720p smoothly, forget 1080p)

3. Bluetooth (transfer speed is lower)

I own one, and I'm disappointed at the GPU.
