If we are staying up to pre order this thing, how long before they actually get to fulfill the order? I'm not staying up for it to be backordered till the middle of January.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
that is the question indeed...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
I can't believe I'm talking about staying up to pre-order this after buying the TF-101 2 days ago. I wonder if Best Buy will reopen pre-orders after midnight also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
Why did Amazon just now realize the mistake and why must we wait until 12am to try again? Seems messed up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
If I were to guess, it sounds like amazon got in a shipment of the grey 32 GB ones, the ones that were cancelled, and are making it right now. I would guess those who order it, and who have a previous order number to renew, will get the first of that shipment. Likely this week. It seems from the timing of this, and from what I got from talking to a representaive earlier tonight, that we are likely to recieve them not long after ordering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Anyone know if this applies to Canadian orders as well? Did any Amazon.ca orders get cancelled in the first place? If so, has any of the people who got theirs canceled get this second email about the 12AM pre-order on the 19th?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agtitan:
I really don't think there are going to be hundreds upon hundreds of people staying up to order this thing. Assuming the preorder really does go live at 12AM PST, I think all of us who go right then should be able to get an order in, and have the prime in our hands by wednesday :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I would like to say thanks to whoever posted the link. I didn't have a pre order from them in the first place and I only have the one at eXpansys which is nerve racking... I am going to try and preorder from here tonight. Hopes aren't high since I didn't have one in the first place but it is worth a shot. If anyone preordered from them before and wants to do it again tonight and is very trusting I will attempt to preorder for you. You can check out my post around XDA I use this site a lot and help a lot of people I'm just a person trying to help out with everyone who, which is mentioned before, has a job. I'm in college and don't have class til 12:30pm EST so I'm not worried about being up late. If anyone is interested either send me a PM or email haro912@gmail. no hate mail please I'm just trying to help out. (anyone who does do this I will do your order first and then mine). Also if you want to talk to me you can get in the irc for my phone http://webchat.freenode.net/ Channel is lgrevolution.

Have a good night and good luck to all :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
So this is only for the 32 GB correct??? Where the **** is my 64GB!!!! Damn you tablet Gods!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
I will be ready to go at mid night. :) I will hopefully have the ability to Order 4 or 5

Had that ordered on the 22nd of November :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
I admire you optimism. Unfortunately that isn't enough to get me the stay up until 1am my time (I got to work tomorrow). And I'm guessing it's almost certain I won't be able to pre-order tomorrow morning with the link being shared across the Internet.

So if they are trying to make it right, why put me through more hassle instead of just letting me immediately pre-order again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
o god thats a lot of them... Hopefully to sell to fellow xdaers at MSRP:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
That's an idea.... order plenty, just to sell them :rolleyes:

Naw, I wont do that to yu'all, I know there are people out there who really want one.... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
NO I will order a bunch just to bring them to Canada here and give em to the ppl who are still waiting. with no ETA in sight. No markup just cost of shipping and customs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Good guy right there
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Its Christmas . I might as well do what I can if I can do it.

of course we all have no idea WHEN they will be shipped. it may back fire and Ill cancel. but its worth a shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
He's like a Canadian Santa Clause.... EW, EW, EW... does Santa wear a red Canadian Mountie outfit? cause that would be awesome! :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
From reading lots of information on the web, I believe any pre-order sites that go up on or after the 19th are for the second batch from Asus. Not this first one. When the second batch will ever come, who knows. I ordered a 64GB model (and I still want the 64GB) and haven't heard a thing about it from Amazon. I don't think ANY 64GB models were sent from Amazon at all. Even from reading other groups online they all say the same thing, no word on their 64GB model while there has been lots of movement on the 32GB grey. Yea, I'm a little jealous, but heck I've never even had a tablet so I guess I can wait a few more weeks. It seems I will have to anyway. Oh well. Maybe someone can actually contact Asus themselves to see if they even shipped any 64GB models? I'm not too good on the phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Nope no mountie outfit here.. Im in Vancouver. it is just Riot gear and hockey sticks

So, is just the 32 GB tablet getting the release at 12am, or is the grey dock also going to getting limited supply release... b/c I could use one of those, as my Gamestop dock order was put in fairly late.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
Do people actually believe that if you do not have a cancelled preorder order number, ie, basically the people who were sent these emails, that amazon is going to let you jump the line and order these?

They obviously are tracking these closely, they included my cancelled order number in my email, and they would compound the ill will if they allowed people to jump those they cancelled before, yet again by just opening this generally. All of those orders that had been cancelled ordered on the 22nd, or no later than the 23rd, when you could have ordered from anywhere else. When they cancelled those orders they basically screwed people out of the opportunity to get to the front of the line elsewhere. Now people think that amazon will do it all over again to the same people that they went out of their way to email and try and make it up to?

I do not buy it, but we will see in just under 2.5 hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
its not worth it to try and resell fora profit. with the eBay fees you would have to sell the tablet alone for 700 just to make about 50 bucks, and they are not selling for that right now. just not worth it. if I somehow end up with more than one I will be offering it up to someone who got screwed over by this whole thing at my cost.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Never worth making a profit on these. Just help people out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RedFoxDude:
Well, I was one of the unfortunate fellows that had his order canceled. Amazon really messed this one up. I'm hoping that Amazon really is able to give priority to those who previously had their orders canceled. $10 isn't enough to satisfy me with a place at the back of the line. :p

I'm honestly a bit offended by those of you who plan to try to get in on these pre-orders despite the fact that you didn't have a canceled order in the first place. Amazon is trying to make it right for those who had their orders messed up - this link was never intended for you. I hope you either can't pre-order or end up at the far back of the line. /rant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agtitan:
Its up on amazon!!!! Just ordered with free 1-day shipping!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charsher47:
I just ordered it (again) also. It said "temporarily out of stock" when I did.

FWIW...My order status says "The following item will arrive after December 25, 2011."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rhiven:
Same, I just happened to refresh the page and saw the option to add it to the cart and was glad to see free 1-day shipping. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agtitan:
Hopefully amazon gets them in stock by thursday or sooner so it will arrive by friday..did anyone have luck finding the keyboard? Still won't let me order that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
+1 I refreshed and noticed it said add to cart. It says the same thing it used to say as far as recieving after the 25th. But I was able to select free 1 day shipping. Lets see if that updates later today.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arrrgh:
yeah, I figured they would put it up early so I was refreshing it every now and then. Placed order with free one day shipping. Too bad they didn't give out the gift cards yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeeter123:
And here we go. Again. Again. again...

I went for it as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Ordered. Hoping to get this by Christmas :) Said temp out of stock but I could add to cart. No shipping date as of yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charsher47:
Is there any reason to stay up another hour? Or can I go to bed now..:o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Ordered 5. lets hope it is TRUE
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
You really are the Canada Santa this year huh? lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeeter123:
... Applied at checkout... (the "gift")..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
did they offer 10 bucks? maybe they'll give you 50 for five orders hahaha
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Nah they are just offering free 1 day shipping to everyone right now. I'm sure thats a sign of them getting them this week and offering that as a way of amends as well as so that we get them before Christmas. Going to bed now, hope to see an email later today stating they shipped my Prime. Wishful thinking I know!

I'm also surprised the page is still up with add to cart. Of course this can be that they are just going to be taking orders for later shipments or that since most people expect the page to refresh in almost another hour it hasn't been bombarded yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Just FYI I went to amazon and searched for "asus transformer prime" and it showed up so that means its not a private link and anyone now can pre order so I wouldnt wait too long to pre order for those that had theirs canceled and I wouldnt rely on amazon fulfilling those first. But I'm sure you guys already did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Coming from someone who didn't get an order cancelled... That's gay
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I ordered mine from gamestop which I'm getting on the 23rd. I'll delete my post...if that makes you feel better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I ordered from eXpansys no solid date yet so I ordered here too. But The fact that it is public is just gay to me.. You should need the link
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
That sucks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbg1:
ordered but ill cancel my 64 i ordered earlier tomorrow...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbg225:
is the "link" working now too and sending those that had a canceled order to the same order page? or is that still yet to launch at 12 PST that would give them priority? I ordered just now after being backordered by BB but im just curious how the link for previously canceled orders is working
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Same as far as I can tell
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
looks to be the same. If I get this one before my NCIX order then thats fine. If not ill cancel it. and all will still be the same :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lani Kai:
So I did indeed have $50 credit on my account (the other $10 is forthcoming).

Just canceled my backorders from Adorama and J&R, so Amazon better come through this time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Figured I would ask a rep about the shipping status...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
So as a response to helping those they screwed before I'm feeling a bit.... well frankly, screwed again. Is Amazon a demon in disguise?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Wow. I cannot imagine how much of a douche you must've been to get that much $ credited. I had a session that lasted probably 45 mins, was courteous, and got nothing.

FWIW, I ordered a few mins ago. Totally sucks that they opened the link early, after setting my alarm to get up at 3am. Also sucks that people are reaping from our misfortune, including those thinking they are acting as Robin Hood and ordering numerous. I'll guarantee some of you are eBayers looking to make a buck.

I feel they do not have a mechanism to validate past preorders, and they'll start a new line for those of us who ordered again. Also, I'm wondering if they are getting another shipment, do not have these in stock, and we won't see these until after Christmas, and we got screwed once again...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
One strange thing I noticed is the dock I ordered on Nov 22nd and previously cancelled soon after Amazon deleted my tablet is back on my order with the Nov date.... Anyone else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lani Kai:
Um, uncalled for?

In my first e-mail I asked why the order was canceled and whether the dock would eventually be canceled as well. I did not ask to receive any credit, but was offered $20. The rep told me the standard line (Asus can't supply) but didn't answer my question about the dock, so I responded with another e-mail basically saying "I understand, but can you tell me about the dock too?"

This resulted in another e-mail from a different rep saying the exact same thing as the first (the tablet is unavailable) and that they would be giving me $30 credit. Again, this was unsolicited. They still didn't answer my question about the dock, so at that point I just gave up on trying to contact them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I don't think he meant it in a bad way but I wouldn't have stopped lol. At some point you may have gotten the tablet for free :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lani Kai:
Yeah, a friend of mine actually suggested that I keep e-mailing them, haha.

I even mentioned in the second e-mail, "Thank you for your response. I appreciate the gesture about the $20 promotional credit" but I guess they decided to throw in some more money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I think its great that Amazon offered you credit. I'm sure they are still making some $. I once got some credit for an item i purchased at buy.com because they mislabeled an item. Rather than have an upset customer, they gained a happy one and I have recommended them to my friends and coworkers that have asked what online store they should purchase item from. So they have in return gained more customers and more profit. Although this was a while back before amazon was this big. The same for when I buy on ebay. I always recommend to friends those sellers with awesome customer service.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Well so much for falling asleep. Not sure if anyone noticed but the product page now says will be available Feb 9th. Take that for what its worth. That may or may not be for everyone or just for people who are placing orders after this point. Also note it only showed that date on the mobile site. Sorry for adding to the hysteria.

Amazon expects new shipment in first week of January.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
I didn't mean it in a bad way. Unless you are a squeaky wheel, you do not get greased. He/she must've been howling, clanking, and grumbling.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

If true, and I have no idea where they are getting their info from, though I suspect it is old info from here, then we got snookered once again. That means this new 32Gb gray 3am sale is their 2nd shipment, and we Amazon won't fulfill until after the holidays.

So, once again, they leave us waiting with no info.

Come on GameStop, counting on you!

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Interesting find... The order number from my 11/23 order is the same as the one from 3am this morning. So, it seems they did find a way to put us back in proper order.

I'm still hoping my GameStop order comes through though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
I guess we will wait and see now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Yeah I just called CS and we are on the list for next available shipment from ASUS. I had hoped that they actually had some stock they were going to make available to us but since it wasn't specific to just those cancelled that seemed less likely. There is no estimate as to when you'll get it other than sometime. Maybe this is a good thing as I'm sure some of the 1st ones out will have the Wifi problem and the ones we EVENTUALLY may get should be good. That's what you call rationalization.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
well I guess its a race to the Pre orders.. some have more then 3 still going on. I have 1 in Canada with Zero ETA or light at the end of the tunnel and now 5 here with a bumpy unknown road ahead of me..Not looking good
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slanford:
Interesting, because I got the email and re-pre-ordered via the email product link and was given a different order number.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
I had a pre-order from 11/22 that was cancelled. I pre-ordered again this morning, got a different order number.

So I'm definitely at the back of the queue. Maybe I'll get this tablet in April 2014.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTanFightFan:
I posted this in another thread on Amazon, but it may be of interest to someone in here that didn't pre-order last night.

Just got finished with CSR:

Could you please give me an estimated date of when you may be able to ship this item? I would very much appreciate your help.

Amazon.com order number: XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX

I understand the item is in high demand currently. I was just really hoping for some type of information.

Ranndy:Hi Xxxxx. I'll be happy to help you with this order

Me:thank you Ranndy

Ranndy:Yes, it has a high demand and it is currently out of stock unfortunately. Please bear with me a second, I'll try to get further information

Me: ok, thank you

Ranndy:Thanks for waiting, almost done

Me:thank you for looking further into this for me

Ranndy:You're very welcome

According to our supplier, we're scheduled to get more on December the 30th, Xxxxx.

Then we said bye. So, I don't if this helps, but he was not typing for about 5 minutes at one point, which I guess indicates he was actually looking, he then said almost done, and I waited about another 4 minutes for his response.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
got the same thing from them when I talked to them the other day
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I pre ordered last night this may mean that next next shipment will cover everyone and since most if not all of us have 1 day shipping we should all have them shortly after
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eubalaena:
64 GB Champagne Prime not shipping until late Jan :-(

Just got this e-mail from Amazon for my order from November 18:

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

Hello,

We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on November 18, 2011 (Order# XXX-XXXXXXX-4645053):

"ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-CG 10.1-Inch 64GB Tablet (Champagne)"

Estimated arrival date: January 25, 2012 - February 08, 2012

............
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
BRUTAL..

Where do you do the live chat with a CSR? I do not use amazon a lot I can not find it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Go to help and look for something like contact is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e-motion:
Just received the exact same email this afternoon. I had preordered on 11/22 shortly after midnight PST.

I immediately went in a chat with a rep that acted like a complete idiot and was offering to ship me a TF101 instead, making it sound like it was the same model...

Anyway, they sure didn't try to keep my business in any way, so I'm no longer an Amazon customer (had been for at least 10 years). I had them remove my account completely and will never shop Amazon again. After having read about all these people getting $10 or more credits to their account for Amazon's blunder and never having been offered anything in exchange for dragging me along for a month and hanging me dry for Christmas, I decided to never again support a company giving me such poor customer service.

Please abstain from your condescending comments on my decision, I know how quick some people are at dissing others but contrary to many, I vote with my wallet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
A few people already received their prime's on another forum!!! Of course just the 32GB model. Seems the 64GB are no where to be found. Most likely will be part of second shipment or just completely delayed all together. I'm upset. I haven't acted like a little kid in a long time and for some reason this tablet got me going.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
I will take them off their hands. lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
I got my prime from Amazon today (32gb champagne). I feel for you guys still waiting. I've never been this impatient about anything before... was tough to wait from the 22nd of November until now. So I feel for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Canceled the 5 Primes I just pre ordered. NCIX has come through!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] simaofcp:
This could be well played by ASUS againt apple, but with this successive delayed, many people (me included) will wait for another tablet, samsung perhaps.

There isn't any news to europe. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Please go over to the "first impressions" thread and give your input on your Prime. It's getting pretty negative over there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
For the people who got shafted when amazon canceled our first orders and the sent out emails to reorder, it's a joke. I just spoke to a supervisor who says we get put back in line with no priority. I will never use amazon again. I understand they didn't have the item but they cancelled, not me and then throw us to the back of the line. The best he gave me was 4-7 weeks to get mine when I initially ordered on the 22nd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DavidDivadman:
Same here ordered on Nov. 22, then was canceled. Pre-ordered on Expansys-USA on Dec. 15, then canceled it to come back to Amazon.com yesterday, because the 32GB amethyst gray I want, is not in stock anywhere anyway, and I'll get triple points reward with my Chase-Amazon credit card + $10.00 as described in their last email...

I also got 4-7 weeks, and a Delivery estimate: Jan. 24, 2012 - Feb. 7, 2012, just on time for Valentine day :D

Patience is a vertu :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tlo729:
32Gb Gray now back to signup to be notified when available changed form 4-7 weeks. Deja Vu....
