I ordered mine on Saturday with overnight shipping. I was notified yesterday that it was on the way from Fernley, NV. It was delivered today via Ontrac. That's the type of service I can appreciate.:)

Consequently I canceled my order with Cost Central which they notified me of today.

Now I just need the tablet to show up. Hopefully tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jaypeezee:
Just received my dock and typing this eply from it. Ordered from Amazon Saturday morning with a Nowinstock alert!

Initial impressions; I like the tactile feel however causes more errors due to my larger hands. Asus definitely needs to program something that disables the track pad when typing to avoid acidental cursor movements.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
There is, press the button to disable trackpad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] copycutter:
Still waiting for updates for Amazon stock. Pretty annoying I woke up at some ridiculous hour last weekend and saw the alert but was too lazy to boo tthe computer up and order it.

Now I wish I had, it seems to take ages for Amazon to re-stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
Please, anybody that finally receive a tracking/shipment from CostCentral, please let us know, so that we can feel better that they are coming.

So far, I only noticed one person saying he got his (Rich, shipment overnight).

HH Gregg - Atlanta

For anyone in the Atlanta area, I picked up a keyboard dock yesterday at HH Gregg. The salesman said they had around 40 docks and transformers in their wharehouse they are distributing. If your in the area, you might want to give the local stores a shout.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AussieLuv:
I am in the same boat, ordered 5/12 and no update on the status. I am starting to get worried that CostCentral does not have these docks and never did get a shipment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alex210:
Just ordered one from Newegg. :D:D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Me too, woo hoo! Thanks for the heads up!

Subtotal	$149.99

Tax	$12.37

UPS Guaranteed 3 Day	$4.99

Rush Processing	$2.99

Order Total	$170.34

Still not too bad considering. I will have it Friday or Monday, most likely Monday as I'm in NorCal, about 120 miles northwest of San Francisco, and things shipped 3 day from them out of SoCal take 3 business days (including shipping, transit and delivery day) to get to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trmiv:
Yea got tired of waiting for Cost Central, ordered one from Newegg also.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Anybody want to take bets on how long it stays in stock at NewEgg? :D

Edit-I see they have a 1 per customer limit, I am glad they are putting a lid on the hoarders/scalpers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdoggie2011:
newegg

Just placed mine too. Crossing my fingers it gets here Friday...quickly figuring out that I need a keyboard for work related stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] berkmanmd:
Newegg ftw!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Just ordered mine at NewEgg for 139. can't wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
$139, did you have a discount code?

I got one tonight too-

Subtotal: $149.99

Tax: $12.37

Shipping and Handling: $4.99

Rush Order: $2.99

Total Amount: $170.34
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Yes NEWCUSTOMER10 gives 10 bucks off
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Oh, okay, I've been a customer of theirs for a few years now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
me too, but all you need is a new email address
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
That's cool, thanks! I will have to use it next time I get something from them, which knowing me will be soon :D lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
even at full price it's nice to finally find one and it's a steal compared with what most are selling for. Hopefully they all deliver soon ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FierceDeityLink1:
Finally was able to find one in-store at HHGregg in Alpharetta, GA. They said they had four, but by the time I made it over there, they only had two left. The Kennesaw, GA store said that they were getting some in tomorrow, and Smyrna store didn't know what an Asus Transformer is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
Ordered from Newegg too. So I ended up with a 32Gb Transformer from Newegg delivered last week and now the matching keyboard from Newegg. Since I am in NC 3 day can sometimes be two days, but since this is late Wednesday I won't expect delivery until Monday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ookami_EVO:
Just now ordered mine from New Egg
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
thanks for the heads up. I sold my first one and the skin for $150. I didn't expect to end up buying a third tf. hoping this one will be defect free... or at least with minor defects. you gotta give up something if you want to save money.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I agree with that statement 100% :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxp3:
Woohoo...newegg just sent me a notification they got some and I didn't miss out this time. Just put in one....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xaudiblex:
Woohoo! I got my for 144.99 shipped! :D I love newegg!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Doward:
My dock's on the way from Newegg as well!

Now if Sears can just let me order the TF101-A1 before the 19th, I'll be all set!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Thanks for the heads up on Newegg! Just ordered mine and cancelled my backorder at B&H
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ookami_EVO:
They're on Back order from Best Buy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssmug:
Thanks for the heads-up. Just placed my order with NewEgg.

Listen up, TigerDirect: when I order something that you say is in stock (as I did with the dock nearly 2 weeks ago and is still backordered), it damn well better be in stock! Just canceled my order with you.

/vent :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shaneaus:
FINE!!! *sulks*

Ya'll talked me into ordering one! Hopefully, I actually receive it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
I ordered one from buy and TD lol...trying to cancel with buy cause their shipping was so slow.

No confirmation from TD yet though
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Any idea if the buy.com orders went through? :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
Got my confirmation email from Tiger Direct. Will arrive tomorrow by next day air.

Tiger Direct's product id is: A50-20000

Here's the actual line on the confirmation email:

Ln# Product Number Qty D e s c r i p t i o n Unit Price Tot Price ST Status

1 A50-20000 1 ASUS TF101 DOCKING STATION 119.99 119.99
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kilmar:
I think the shipping should be the from the same warehouse. There's no reason an order from Buy.com would go from TD warehouse to Buy.com warehouse before they ship it. Just doesn't make sense. Either way, ordered one from Buy.com.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
I assume you ordered from TD over the phone? I don't see any asus transformer product pages on the TD site right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I just called and they said they no longer have that available.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
They told me the same thing initially, but the sales rep I spoke to tracked it down and said they have them in the warehouse.

We'll see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
You guys rock. Got my order in.

Got my tablet because of updates on this forum (from TigerDirect) and now hopefully the dock also.

(Of course, after reading other people's experiences with TD, I'll believe it when it ships.) :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=154019
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
if i cant cancel this buy.com order im going to be pissed. lol buy.com says called tigerdirect to cancel it but thye have no record of that order number yet.

but a rep sent me a screenshot of my order status since its not showin gup under my account and I didn't get any confirmation email yet and it shows its being fullfilled in warehouse
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
If TD is taking orders directly and fulfilling them, isnt there a chance that by the time the buy.com orders get through to them, they are already OOS?? That would be SOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
Thanks. Strange that nothing comes up in a search of the site. I already went through buy.com, otherwise I would just do it directly from there. I assume I'm getting the same ups ground option that is $7.50 on the TD site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
I never, ever order over the phone (due to cashback sites) but I did on this because the price was right and I wanted to increase my chances of getting one...

Anyone know how long it takes to get an order confirmation e-mail or have it show up under your orders online?

I got an order confirmation number from the salesperson, but that's about it right now.

(P.S. He was great and helpful, but I was reminded of another reason I never order over the phone. Let me list the things he tried to sell me. (1) Extended warranty, (2) told me I am preapproved for credit if I wanted to buy a TV or anything, (3) wanted to transfer me to their rewards department because I qualified for something. I just kept saying, okay, great, cool until he gave me the order confirmation number and started to transfer me. Then I hung up.)

EDIT: I forgot TWO more things. (4) He wanted to sell me Office, I said it was Android and came with Polaris. (5) He wanted to sell me something for $20 that would let me sell the Asus back to them at a future date.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
Just tried to cancel my buy.com order so I could reorder through tigerdirect, but it doesn't let me yet! My order better be at tigerdirect and get shipped or I'm going to be very very unhappy!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
I got the same offers plus they tried to bundle the keyboard with an anti-virus package. I told him this isn't a PC keyboard - it's for an Android tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I placed my order online got my email, the website shows my order number in my orders list, but it shows invalid when I click on the number. I know tiger just needs a few minutes to refresh that stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Placed another order through TigerDirect directly with next day shipping.. comes out to $140 shipped but hey, I'm still saving $10 off retail xD

Now to cancel my buy.com order somehow..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bkerk25:
Bought at buy.com earlier today, tried to contact tiger direct directly but I guess I missed the boat as they are sold out. Oh fun, more waiting...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
Woohoo my order is showing in TigerDirect's system as in Process at warehouse. Hopefully it holds up. I did overnight shipping to Cali.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ookami_EVO:
shipping to the store is about an 8 day from now wait, best opportunity if new egg has run out as i'm typing this. Otherwise you'll receive it from about the 16th to the 28th.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sheureka:
I was just going to call to cancel my order at CostCentral, checked my credit card, and discovered that I was billed today. There is still no tracking information and I haven't gotten anything saying the dock is being shipped but at least something is happening.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AussieLuv:
I too have a new pending charge from CostCentral dated 6/2. Hopefully this is a good sign!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wildchld:
Walmart in stock online just ordered one delivery 6-5
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Mine is shipping out this evening from Newegg (I bought it last night) in SoCal via 3 Day, I will have it up here in Northwestern California on Monday, woot woot! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KnightCrusader:
Thanks for the heads up! I don't think I've ever ran downstairs so fast in my life, just to get my wallet with my Wally World credit card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I just checked and couldn't find them on Walmart's site, I searched using "Asus Transformer Dock", is it listed under another name with them?

Edit-Nevermind, I found it-

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Asus-TF101-Docking/16474475

It looks like they're out of stock, again, I'm glad I got mine from Newegg last night!

Edit 2-Newegg is sold out now too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KnightCrusader:
Damn, that was a quick sell out. Glad I got it when I did...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I think you mean 6-6 WildChild, 6-5 is a Sunday ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
These things are like Cabbage Patch Doll's when they first came out! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheRiddlinKid:
Same here yet no notification of anything else. Heres hoping!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AussieLuv:
Well, my status with CostCentral is now shipped with a tracking number! Ordered 5/12 and scheduled for delivery on 6/6. Fantastic price of $115.38 with free shipping, worth the wait. Shipped from GA though, not PA which is where CostCentral is located. Strange.

Hopefully others who ordered early will be getting theirs shortly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jschmier:
I see the same with my CostCentral order. Ordered 5/12 with scheduled delivery of 6/7 (shipping from GA to AZ).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iphone2evo:
I received the tracking number from costcentral too, however fedex says no information about this tracking number available!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] danielsjam:
Available at Tiger Direct

For anyone looking - Received an email from TD today and the have the dock in stock.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...m_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2696-_-tigeremail2696

Good hunting
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
I ordered both the TF and Dock from TigerDirect.

My CC was charged and the TF shipped yesterday, the dock says "All Backordered" when I view my order status. WTF?

Apparently they're drop shipping from their distributor...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] soxfan81:
I ordered my keyboard from TD this morning and a estimated arrival of June 9.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
Mine said it would be delivered (Ground) by the the end of the week when I ordered it, but then I looked at the online order status and it changed to Backordered. I hope they keep their delivery promise.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Heathsrow:
Dock is available at MicroCenter in Ohio

I found a dock at MicroCenter in Columbus, OH, they have four more in stock currently for store pickup.

The following MicroCenter stores also have stock for pickup only as of 13:50 EST:

Cincinnati/Sharonville - QTY 5

Northeast Ohio/Mayfield Hts. - QTY 2

So Microcenter has a total of 11 in stock in Ohio only...

My dock is plugged in and charging currently!!!

Good luck if you are in Ohio or know someone in Ohio...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moo99:
Mine said the same at first. Generally you expect a shipping confirmation at most a day afterward. I checked after the second day and it was showing the backordered notice. Too sketchy for my taste.... there are cheaper places to preorder for me - they charge NCsales tax. They should be clear about availability. I cancelled my order.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
I just called to cancel but decided not to.

On Friday, they expected to get 2,000 units. They only got 75. Now this guy is in the office and couldn't confirm what was in their warehouse. Apparently he told me the site (CompUSA/Tiger Direct/SYSTEM-Max) gets over 15k orders per day. Now the the docking stations could be in their loading dock and haven't been put into their system/inventoried... I'll wait till Wednesday or Thursday and if it hasn't shipped, then I'll cancel.

FWIW.

Amazon has it in stock: http://amzn.to/msXLaR
[Eee Pad Transformer General] murd0ck77:
I as well order from TD on Friday and *****ed about it in the other thread. I agree TD should be clear which they were not, they should have also sent an automated response that your order has been changed to back ordered - which they did not. They should INSTANTLY refund your money to your account - which they do not - it can take up to 5 business days. To those of you holding out on TD I wish you luck. I have already re-ordered from amazon, hopefully I will not have the same issues..

TD = epic fail
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
Canceled my Amazon and TD orders, just ordered it on NewEgg! They're much quicker to ship, had to pay a bit of tax, but I'm okay with that.

Tablet (from TD) should arrive Thursday, Newegg dock, Thursday as well. Today is a good day :).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] monocheli:
I also just ordered mine from NewEgg, Should be here Wednesday (estimated one day shipping)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
seems to be impossible...got 3 reps at TD trying to cancel the buy.com order but "its not in their system yet"...weird cause buy.com says its processing in the warehouse
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ddrstreak:
Same. First time with TigerDirect so I hope it goes well. Their site scares me though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I've ordered from them in the past. They aren't my first choice merchant, but they aren't bad people either. Usually Newegg has them beat in price even though I pay tax at Newegg, but the few times I've ordered from Tiger they've been quick, and shipped me exactly what I ordered.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
mine does too.. FINALLY popped up online...ive been waiting an hour for it to
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
I got it added to my cart, but then when I click my cart, it says it is empty. Nice bug. The product page still says "Order today, ships today" for availability.

Edit: Now shows unavailable. Oh well, c'mon AMAZON!

Edit 2: Now it shows available again, but my cart is still saying empty. What is going on here? Nuts!

Edit 3: Unavailable again. Must have been orders being cancelled or something. I think I'm done watching their site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
This is why I rarely place an order with Amazon or Buy.com unless they themselves are selling it or fulfilling it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Just called them and the rep located my order (she says it was in the warehouse already for processing). She said she put a stop on the order, but can't guarantee the order would be cancelled. In the event it is shipped to me, she told me to refuse the package and I wouldn't have to pay for return shipping :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
clicking the tigerdirect link shows the same thing as the tablet now.

THE ITEM IS UNCURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE>

let's hope mine goes through
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
how long ago did you place the buy.com order? i asked a rep if i can just refuse the shipment and they were like ummmm idk lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
I got my order confirmation at 12:32PM EDT
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
wow that was up for awhile then i placed that order around 1:19 EST
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Yea I ordered a few minutes after the link was posted here :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SVegabond:
My order through TD via buy.com is shown as in the warehouse "processing" so we'll see what happens. I got one shortly after the link appeared here as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
Update on this... they did cancel the buy.com order. they gave my the TD order number for the buy.com order that i never received. I plugge dthat into track my order on TD and it showed cancelled.

Then I plugged the one I made over the phone from TD into the track my order on TD and tahts showing as processed and the rep said its going out the door any minute.

everything was handled correctly and professional by TD, im not sure what peoples problems are...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
TO CANCEL AN ORDER FROM BUY.COM

call tiger direct at this number: 888-999-3600 i called them, told them i wanted to cancel, gave them the number and thats that. They said it could take up to 24 hours to show up so no confirmation yet but i'm sure it'll be fine.

so far my tiger direct order just says in progress at warehouse. hopefully next day air will push it out today.

now off to school. 45 minutes late lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Damn I should've asked for my corresponding TD order number so I can see when it's cancelled :p

Did the rep outright tell you it was cancelled? Or did they give you the whole "i've requested a cancellation, not sure if it'll work" speech?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
full out "no sir thats already been cancelled"

he pulle dit up by my phone number because the buy.com order number's they never receive, they receive it as an order placed by buy.com and that generates a TD order number.

He gave me that one, put it in online while i was on the phone with him, and boom said it was cancelled already and i have not been charged as I can see for that right now. It was a papal order and that usually comes right out of my checking right away...never did as of now.

The TD order is on a CC and thats already a pending charge :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aimfire72:
Also kept getting that, so I called them up and the rep said that they are indeed in stock. So I placed the order and got the overnight shipping, came out to under $150 total.

So try giving them a call, use the item number: A50-20000

They had no problems finding it in the system.

Also, just cancelled my ExcaliberPC pre-order... that was quick and easy, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shaneaus:
I just called Tiger Direct - they are sold out of the Docking Stations. I was advised that they hadn't received my order through Buy.com yet. When the Buy.com order is received... There will be no product available to fill the order and Buy.com will be advised....

So, WHAT A F'king WORTHLESS WASTE OF TIME THAT WAS!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SVegabond:
My order with Buy.com through Tiger Direct is shipping out later today! Just talked to csr there who confirmed it. Glad I didn't cancel that!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
Even if it is backordered, I still plan on keeping it for the discounted price. Annoying that it is still available at buy.com.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brittonkerr:
Called TD

This CSR said they don't have them in yet (only 100 and don't know exactly when) and that they aren't taking orders yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gorby911:
I hope this is BS because it was listed as Order today, ships today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
I was also told that my order would be shipping later today.. sooooooooooo..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
me too but everyone states TD lies about that....they've never told me a lie or screwed me out of anything...sour people
[Eee Pad Transformer General] A Naked Emo:
Well you all spooked me out of my Buy.com order, so i called Tiger Direct and ordered 2 more directly with them using the item number posted here at about 3:30 EST and they said it would ship out later today w/ overnight shipping. They had not received my Buy.com order yet to cancel, so who knows. I may be getting 4 of these. We'll see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
When I cancelled my buy.com order from the website, I immediately got a cancellation notice from BUY.com. (not from tigerdirect)

My order will supposedly ship today from tigerdirect.. we'll see..

-m
[Eee Pad Transformer General] A Naked Emo:
Thanks for that tip. I think I may just ride out the day and make sure the Tiger Direct order ships. I ordered through Buy so much earlier in the day, there is a chance on that too. Worst comes to worse I dispute the 2nd shipment with the credit card company and refuse the package since they are being a pain in the ass about canceling.
