I was wondering the same thing. Lol! I finally got one in as well. Yay!!!! Docking station! Yay!!!!

Anyways, when you ordered did it state the estimated arrival date as 'unavailable'? Im assuming it did because you are wondering how long it takes. Im an idiot.... but my experience with site-to-store has always taken between 2-4 days from purchase. The receipt tells you 7-10 business days though. I hope we get our docks, and not get placed on backorder!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Still in stock!!! Its a miracle.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Manizzle:
Yeah, mine also had an 'unavailable' estimated arrival date. And also my receipt says 7-10 business days, but I really don't think it will take nearly that long..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Android-hotness:
Thank you, I just ordered one. I can't wait!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Missed it again! Woke up to the instock alarm going off rushed over and they were gone. Congrats to all that got one...still on a search :)

Fry's comes through again! (I also got my TF from them)

Woke up this morning and to my great surprise Fry's is showing "available for store pickup" at several stores around the Bay Area (San Jose, Palo Alto, Concord). Called San Jose and was told they are already OOS. Called Palo Alto and they confirmed that they do have several in stock but they won't hold one for me. I went ahead and ordered through the web site for store pickup in order to force them to hold one for me. By the time I went to pick it up I was told I had the last one as they are sold out again. Lucky I did the online order.

Just go to this link:

http://www.frys.com/search?search_t...ry_string=6575573&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&cat=0

Click on "store pickup check availability" and enter your zip code then just keep refreshing page. Good luck to you all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Wish i had a frys near me :-(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dammit_jill:
tried to do instore pick up from fry's. get that infamous email that it is NOT READY for pick up lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cl191:
I just picked mine up from the San Jose store, apparently they just received some in some SoCal locations as well.

I do have to say be careful when picking one up in Fry's though, the 1st one they gave me had the seal broken.

I have an extra keyboard dock in the LI, NY area

Anyone around Long Island looking for a keyboard dock PM me, I have an extra. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] calin75:
Newegg just had it in stock for a few minutes. It's out of stock again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Yup and I missed it again..darn :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Neezer:
These guys seem to have it in stock, unless I'm reading the page wrong:

[Hmmm. Can't post links until I've posted eight times. Guess that makes sense.]

techonweb.com

...and you'll have to do the product search yourself. I just ordered with some trepidation as I'd never heard of them before. We'll see how it goes.

B&H

Finally, B&H has mine and is shipping it today. I have had two docks pre-ordered since they became available for pre-order for the first time. I was wondering what was taking so long since others have reported getting theirs from various other merchants. So I just chatted with CS online and he said they just received a batch today from Asus and was going to ship mine today. I then refreshed my order status page, and sure enough it said, "Status: In stock, order sent to warehouse."

Just and FYI to those of you waiting with B&H Orders.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Two things, if you ordered from that Buy.com link and actually get the dock the first rounds of beer are on me. It's not going to happen.

Secondly, remember my post from yesterday saying Excalibur changed my dock order status to "picked and ready for packing". That was a mistake and they have none. If anyone else placed an order there let me know if your order has the same status.

None of this may matter anyway because I'm getting the run around from HHGregg on my TF order.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
well i canceled my preorder from excaliber (was $180 with faster shipping) and ordered from buy. really would of liked to have something other than standard, but even if it takes 9 days it'll still be here faster than excaliber would of been.

I'm a little nervous like the rest of you, but Buy.com is a good site.

I got charged florida tax as well. Not really sure why since it dosn't show up on their list of places you have to pay tax, http://www.buy.com/help/Do-I-have-to-pay-sales-tax/67244.html but florida is really cracking down on online retailers so it's possible that they changed the law and haven't updated the site yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
Called back and got a different rep. he found it and shipped it to me overnight for $140 total. Supposedly they're in-stock now. plus no sales tax (buy.com was dinging me a sales tax since they're california based..)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] A Naked Emo:
HH Gregg... :confused: Good luck. I'm just ready for someone to repost your post on Slickdeals and people think they get a dock and beer for $120.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I can do that :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
mmm id love to do that but buy.com will not let me cancel this order
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ScribeTheMad:
Dadburnit, EXcaliberPC.com status changed to PreOrder, must have jumped on it a couple hours too late. :(

I'd go with the buy.com option, but I'm hearing it's TD in disguise, and I'm pretty sure they've sided with the decepticons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
LUCKY SOB! lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
confirmed in stock at TD now. Ordered with ND shipping for 135

You can try calling TD and see if ur buy.com order hit their system and then maybe cancel or change shipping method.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
just did it. said shipped to nj be here by thursday friday 128 shipped.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] StirCwazy:
How are they pulling it up? The guy I have on the phone has no idea.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
how are you guys getting through to tiger? i don't see it on their website or anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
call them and hope u get someone who knows the thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] StirCwazy:
Check your PM please =)

It's listed on Buy.com for $119.99 at http://www.buy.com/prod/asus-eee-pad-tf101-docking-station/q/loc/101/221160018.html

However, there is only 1 shipping option available which reads...

Estimated Delivery Time Following Shipment:

Standard: 4 to 14 business days
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
yeah i already ordered it from buy, but how are you guys getting through to tiger and getting overnight or faster shipping?

what number do i call/what do i say?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
I ordered one too. I agree TigerDirect is unreliable, but they were also the first to sell the 16gb TF and people received them on release day. So, we'll see. Can't hurt to try at that price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
well i already got charged so probably too late to get through to tiger and change anything.

luckily, tiger is based in miami florida, only 2 hours away from where i live so with any luck i'll get it fast anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
A lot of their shipments get shipped out of Illinois. Well atleast anything I've ordered from them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
I just called TD and they have 122 in stock. They had trouble finding it, but I got Keith at ext. 5830 and he was able to track it down.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seeingwhite:
I ordered from them once a couple of years ago. They weren't bad. It has been a while though so I couldn't vouch for them today. Also, I can't find the dock on their site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Neezer:
I appreciate the info.

However, ten minutes after ordering I got this email from them:

"Asus is a couple weeks behind on production and did not anticipate the mass amount of orders that came in. The stock on this item is not expected to be here until 5/25/2011. Would you like to wait fore the backorder, or cancel?"

Nice to get the email, but I wish they'd said it on the site up front.

To search, look for Asus as the manufacturer and "TF101" as the product name. It doesn't seem to have "Transformer" in the product title, so searches on that don't go through.

Sorry if anyone's hopes were gotten up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] patseei:
I am on a fence about keeping my transformer.

2 weeks old.. only used it for 3-4 times. Everything is working and has the latest firmware. If I can get what I paid for, I will let it go. LMK via PM.

Got the original packaging. I just don't think I will use the dock as much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
They don't (in my experience) I ordered one...with the "should ship in 2 or 3 days" message and they told me that they didn't have one.... :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] calin75:
Just got me one from Newegg. It's already shipped and on its way.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 9646gt:
UGH! I keep missing these! technoweb.com said 5/20 for me to have one in warehouse :(

Extra Dock Availabl-- Long Island NY area

I have an extra dock.. PM me if your in the area... looking for 160. :D:D Long Island NY
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sneef:
is anyone else getting pretty much disillusioned and fed up with the BS so far? I got my tablet at just after midnight on launch date via Amazon, but ive been waiting for the keyword all along, and was going to get it from bestbuy B&M, to avoid shipping to my remote state, but to this day, almost zero BB employees know what an Asus transformer is in the first place. whether theres too much demand or short supply of parts, its ridiculous that some of the main launch partners know nothing about the dock or the tablet.

i know it was the online outlets that were the actual launch sites, but eventhey didn't have real info.

anyway, wondering if I'm the only one who has a perfectly working tf101 with none of the issues some people are describing, but is contemplating selling it and getting the Acer iconia.

I played with it down at BB, and even though they're both equal hardware andsame OS, it felt snappier, and somehow more like a finished product.

with what I'm reading here on xda, about the keyboard, I'm not even sure I still want it. the keyboard and IPS display were my main selling points, and honestly, the acer's screen did not appear inferior to this one (I'm typing on the tf101 now) although I didn't have my Asus with me to compare.

anyway I know this is about availability so sorry for the rant. I'm mad cos I just ordered at techonweb and then found out its not in stock. came here and saw others already found that. I was in on the tablet availability thread on release date and before, but didn't know there was a keyboard dock thread too. props to the OP!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brittonkerr:
I got my keyboard last night and LOVE IT!!!! I have had zero issues so far...Once I get the remote desktop stuff worked out....this will be my only machine....has anyone used a smartcard withHoneycomb? I'm wondering if a RDS session will pass through the smartcard?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wekebu:
I, too, am frustrated with the lack of a keyboard/dock. I selected this tablet over others because of the keyboard. I've had the tablet for 2.5 weeks and no keyboard. I'm truly tired of checking sites. My concern is that if/when I get the keyboard and don't like it, I have run out of time to get a different tablet.

** for those of you that received a dock/keyboard, does it come with a power/charging cord (not looking for a long cord, I want a second charger with the proprietary tip).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hotshotz:
Fremont, CA Frys has 2 in stock. Hurry if you can.

I just called and they received a new shipment of about 5 docking stations.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dklapper:
No. The keyboard dock does NOT come with another power supply.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
No charger, and no extra USB cable.

They should have at least thrown in a longer USB cable.

Extra Keyboard Dock Available -- Long Island NY

I have a keyboard dock available.. if yout local to Long Island NY, and you want it, let me know... looking for 160.

If you are not local... you must be willing to western union me the funds, as i do not have paypal. You must cover shipping.

Sorry if this post is against the TOS, just trying to pass the KB dock along to someone who wants it as I sold my tab;):D;):D.. not scalping.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 9646gt:
I would be interested but I honestly have been screwed using wester union to pay for stuff. If you end up opening a free paypal account I might be willing to work something out. Money orders are a big risk these days. Nothing rude towards you but I think most will feel the same :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
I must agree, there is quite a bit of risk that comes with using WU. PayPal, at the least, gives you the chance of getting your money back in the case of a scam.

If you change your mind, I'm sure you'll get a buyer in minutes (myself included!)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 9646gt:
looks like I missed it on amazon while at work :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
You aren't the only one :( my nowinstock.net timer didn't even go off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
My timer went off but i missed it also :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wekebu:
Amazon is live right now.

** sorry, it's out of stock again. I did get my order in for the dock, then posted this, I guess the delay caused the out of stock.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
What's annoying is that it appears many people are just jumping on the docks so that they can turn around and flip them on Amazon. :mad:

I keep seeing the "Available Sellers" numbers and names changing.

Really?

Man, if I'm ever that hard up for $100, I hope someone just feeds me a bullet to put me outta my misery.

Hopefully karma will intervene and they'll wind up flipping dud docks (like the one I got) and they get burned having to process returns. :D

[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
Just got one from buy/tiger. Transformer here Thursday. Good to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
Warning: buy.com originally showed no stock. I eventually managed to get an order in. They then said they had 14 in stock.

I checked about 5 minutes later and they are claiming 70+ in stock. Either ASUS's main shipment is finally arriving, or buy.com is messed up and is selling docks they don't have.

I'm personally not expecting to receive the keyboard, at least not right away.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EMINENT1:
Just got one in at Buy/Tiger. Hope it doesn't fall through with all the mess with Tiger Epad orders.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Havoc6266:
I just called Tiger Direct to confirm that they had stock and they told me they can not confirm they have it in stock. I'm going to hold for now. Hope your orders come through.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knx2:
Ordered one too. Let's hope we get them from tiger direct!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Anonnie:
Get them directly from Tiger direct, and you can change the shipping to 2 days. It says "Order Today, Ships Today" on their site. I successfully ordered one with 2 day shipping, supposed to receive it by end of week for an extra $10.

Get it here:

go to the tigerdirect page, and search for: A50-20000
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johantheolive:
Did this. I doubt it'll work out, but it'll give me a reason to badmouth Tigerdirect besides them charging tax in my state. And then at the end of the order it says you can help them speed up order processing by providing the last four of your SSN. Wow. Regardless of how they handle the rest of my order I won't use them again. Sure it's not required but to even solicit that kind of info is ridiculous.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 9646gt:
I got fed up and did the unthinkable and bought one on ebay for 229 shipped. I hate impatience combined with scalpers
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Manizzle:
I was finally able to get a dock from Walmart thanks to nowinstock. I thought site-to-store would be the fastes option, so i chose to do that, but it took a little over a week.

Although I am loving it! No problems so far.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johantheolive:
Back in stock on buy.com as of 11:48. GO GO GO
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KnightCrusader:
I see TigerDirect has them, but I'll either wait for Walmart or Newegg to get them - maybe J&R. I've heard too many bad things about Tiger to deal with them. I got the tablet, I can wait on getting the keyboard until I find a good deal...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Anonnie:
I'll keep everyone posted. Basically If I don't see a tracking email within a day or so, I'll just cancel it and let paypal know they failed to meet the negotiated terms (as I made sure to snap the page with the expected receive date and shipping terms).

So worse case, I cancel it, best case, I have it before the weekend. I've used them before and didn't have too much of a headache, so we'll see soon enough.

Personally... I could care less where it comes from, as long as I get my mitts on it! Its the last piece to the puzzle for me. I have the pad, dark wood skin, 32GB micro sd (for $44 off ebay), and keyboard.

I'm waiting for the case since I hear the asus one is pure crap, and I'm pretty sure with the sheer number of them selling, someone will come up with something decent, and until then I'll grab a $12 10.2" case from the local Walmart or Staples for now.

But basically this is a new device for me to start doing some kernel / User mode development stuff on for fun.

I'm actually quite interested to see if it will be able to charge / maintain my epic 4g battery as my plan it to tether that puppy when i'm roaming around and there is no WiFi to be found, so it would be nice to just jack the USB into the phone if necessary and let it charge/maintain it (since theres no way I'll get 4+ hours with WiFi and 4g on that phone).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
Same, TigerDirect/buy.com is going to get a very annoyed call if they sold a product they don't have in stock...

Anonnie, you should use Bluetooth to tether, instead of WiFi. HC has issues with adhoc tethering and bluetooth tethering uses significantly less power. wimax will be a huge battery drain, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Anonnie:
Yeah, but if im not mistaken isnt BT tether limited to 926k?

I mean, what if my pron.. I mean videos of barney are at a higher bitrate?

:D

jk.. no, but if im doing 4g, I can get north of 5 megabit, which wifi is the only real choice for that puppy, but we'll see soon enough. I'll pass my findings, and if it acts up, I'll be looking for the source to fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
I should have clarified, wifi tethering doesn't work at all lol. But yes bluetooth is slow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] durbanite01:
Thanks for the heads up on TD, but I think I'm going to wait until someone else has it in stock. As much as I want a keyboard I'd prefer not to do business with them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ConstantineXVI:
Got a tracking number, says it's en route. Would have rathered to get it from Amazon (Prime shipping), but the difference between 2-day on TD and tax from Amazon (warehouse in the state) is close to nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
I wish I had saw any other shipping method. I paid via Google Checkout and there was no option to change it. Mine still has not shipped :(.

Keyboard dock available for $115

cost central has the keyboard dock for $115 with free shipping and they have in stock now according to their website. I cannot post the link. Just go to costcentral and search for asus dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmarden:
Great find!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
Thank you so much for the Cost Central info! I monitor the nowinstock.net and will not find this one if you did not post it.

I just ordered one, its really cheap ($115) with no tax and free shipping!

The return policy is not as flexible as Walmart/Best Buy though, but I hope it will arrive and work perfectly!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
Is not it weird, Best Buy has the tablet but not even have a page for the Dock, and Cost Central has the dock (many of them according to the Stock displayed), but they do not have the page for the tablet itself?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jschmier:
I received confirmation that my dock from CostCentral is shipping today. I had purchased it on the 12th and was awaiting stock. The product page lists over 500 in stock at the time of this post and I've seen this number drop across a few F5 key presses.

They aren't in stock at the moment, but CostCentral also has the power adapter for $30 and sleeve for $40 with free shipping.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marketermac:
just picked mine up through them too. awesome price, and they accept G checkout..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheRiddlinKid:
Just ordered from CostCentral as well. Odd I got charged tax as they are located in PA and I'm in California.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r_nt:
Really? I think I'll just wait, then.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marketermac:
Even with taxes it still has to be cheaper then buying it at retail price somewhere else...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] weems84:
Just ordered mine. No tax in WA. Website says they have 59 left in stock. Free shipping and only $115. WOOT.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johantheolive:
My order from last night via tigerdirect (not through buy.com) is showing shipped now. The weight only shows .3lbs though. Of course this is after somewhere else has a great deal on them /sigh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nutsacjac:
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one! #winning
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DKYang:
I don't trust CostCentral right now. Said it had 303 in stock and then 5 minutes later it's sold out. Now, I know the dock is popular, but not that popular compared to the TF.
