Mine has said that since I preordered it on the 22nd
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zenpir8:
last time I looked, yesterday, it does not say that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingnewguy:
When you go to 'your account', it won't show up there. If you click the highlighted order number, it says shipping after the 25th.

Not saying you're wrong but there are two similar screens and only one says that.

Either way, I'm trying to condition my brain to expect this next March so I can stop checking my email every 15 seconds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shocky0:
I called amazon against my better judgement to see if they knew the status.

I would have gotten better results from banging my head against the wall.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s0ysauce45:
My 'pre'order now also says will be shipping after Dec 25.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shocky0:
view order details has always shown after dec 25th for me and I ordered on 11/18 when the pages went live. The listing page doesn't show that message though on the tablet but does on the dock. Who knows.

I ordered the grey 64gb.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Mines said that since 11/22.

No one else's says:

Delivery Estimate: January 9, 2012

:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
Same here, "The following item will arrive after December 25, 2011." and "Delivery estimate: January 9, 2012" messages since Nov 22nd

At first I thought it was just a place holder for the actual date, but I´m no longer convinced about that... :(

I try not to re-check daily, but every time I get a new email I expect it to be some communication from Amazon... :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
the info below is squished, but what its saying is that Guelph has 168 primes incoming. i checked this info (that is updated in real time) two days ago, and it had 12 incoming. I my self have no idea what that means, but thats a pretty interesting update I think.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Geniusdog254:
Mine only says "After December 25, 2011" when it's on standard shipping, but if I change it to two day Prime shipping I also get the estimated delivery of January 9th. That's really not bad, considering I just wanted it by Christmas. Two weeks isn't going to kill me, or any of us.

Same, bought a Galaxy Tab just in the mean time. Hoping amazon gets to selling. I want them to have my money...

Amazon cancelling Sleeve orders too

Hello,

Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:

"ASUS Sleeve Case for Eee Pad Transformer - Grey (EPAD SLEEVE/TF201/GY)"

We've canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. If you see a charge for the canceled item, we will refund you within 1-2 business days.

If you are still interested in purchasing this item, it may be available from other sellers. Please visit the detail page for this item below:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
So, Amazon is cancelling the Sleeves now... Seems like is not going to be in the priority list from Asus to ship their products at all.

3 more days to the "Announced Shipping Date" and no there are no updates on the remaining orders (Grey 64 GB / Champagne)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ctodd111:
I just receive a second "backordered" notice from J&R with no indication at all of when it might ship. Monday should be a mighty interesting day. If my order does not ship, I am going to cancel for now and either wait for them to come back in stock or see what else is coming out in the next couple of months. It is severely disappointing - I was really looking forward to having one on vacation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
I imagine asus and amazon sitting in a room looking at each other discussing how they do not want my money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingnewguy:
I think those of us with 64GB pre-orders will be waiting until after the holidays. I'm assuming the 32GB quantities that have/will ship are dwarfing those of the 64GB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
So this is rather good news, which probably isn't true, but I hope it is, but probably isn't.... but really hope it is. :D

So I got a Amazon gift card yesterday, and Thought I sure would like to apply this to my 64 GB Prime tablet, as it hasn't be charged yet, and is still in a "holding pattern". So I got on Amazon chat support for the unteenth time this week, but instead of going through the normal customer service, I went through the billing side, b/c I wanted to apply a new gift card to an existing order... well, after they applied it, I had one more question for them...

Me:ok, thank you. One more question if you don't mind. Do you have any updated info. on a possible shipping date for the order?

Puneet:You are welcome and It will be ship very soon

Me:Really, because as of yesterday, Amazon customer support told me they had no other info. on the item and still had not yet received any supply from the manufacturer??? My shipping date on the order still says Jan. 9th, 2012... is this date just a place holder for the item, as I have assumed; as it has been the same date since I ordered on Nov. 22.

Regardless, your system says that the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-GR 10.1-Inch 64GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray) will be shipping very soon? That's good news if indeed true.

Puneet:I would like to tell you that the date which we give to our customer is the maximum time, but we try to deliver the package asap, and yes it is true

Me:Thanks for the info., you may have just made my day. =)

Have a good day.

Puneet:Its my pleasure to help you.

Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Me:No thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
To this Amazon rep, "soon" might mean "sometime by the end of 2012." Not everyone shares our sense of timing... :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yes, but he said VERY soon.... :p

Don't crush my dreams man! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Oh, yeah, sorry, I missed the "very" in there!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Amazon's like Walmart, their supply chain is very sophisticated and they have zero tollerance for flakiness from vendors they deal with. If Asus wasn't able to provide and meet quantity and timing commitments Amazon probably bounced them. Not selling the Prime at launch, or even at all, will be less than 1/100 of 1% of Amazon's annual revenue. Once Asus gets their act together and Amazon has sufficient physical stock in their warehouse they'll probably start selling it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
im sure given the asus tf101 last year, amazon doesnt want to mess with Asus and nerd scorn.

ill be cashing out a bunch of BB gift cards and hunting it down next week myself. I just personally really really HATE BB.

"Amazon is one of the most popular online retail stores. Last year, Cyber Monday was the company's best sales day of the year with more than 13.7 million items ordered and a record-breaking 158 items per second."

Do you really think Amazon is concerned about when Asus will get their tablet out?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
So, the pages for the 64 GB Prime are back down..... :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I called 5 Gamestop stores today and all of them said nothing until after the holidays. One of them didn't even know what I was talking about until I told him to input "ASUS PRIME" in his computer. Before when I spoke with these stores they told me the 19th.

Also if Amazon does not have these tablets by now, they aren't going to get them anytime soon then. Warehouses should all have them already.

I just received an Email confirmation from Amazon with a delivery date :

Hello,

We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on November 22, 2011:

"ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-CG 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Champagne)"

Estimated arrival date: December 22, 2011 - December 29, 2011

If you want to check on the progress of your order, take a look at this page in Your Account:

I just changed the delivery speed to next day and it giving me an estimated date of 12-20-2011. I guess we will see what happens now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Daramue:
I just received an email regarding the prime I had on order with amazon as well. I actually just signed up for xda moments ago to confirm what the poster above me is saying.

New projected delivery date is December 20th for my 32GB champaigne. They also are attempting to ship it right away: I was told they were processing the transaction and, looking at my bank statement, they sure are. This must be the real deal, at last.

Has anyone gotten an update on a 64 GB model yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Nope, my 64 GB Grey still shows same info., Jan. 9th.... hoping it will be updated this weekend too.

Now I'm going to be on pins and needles every time I hear a email notification on my phone this weekend. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Going to try something with Amazon today. Going to go on chat and inquire about my order every hour or so. Then when I get the survey, going to give them a poor rating but give the rep a excellent rating. There is an option that after you give them a negative rating if you want them to call you. I will say yes after about 5 negative ratings. Maybe that will get me to someone who can tell me something other than what I can see for myself on the order history page.

wonder when amazon is going to put them up for sale again... got a $400 gc just burning a hole in my account.

J&R Just Canceled My Order

J&R just canceled my 64gb gray (and keyboard) ordered back on November 25. Is this happening to anyone else? I can't believe they would do this a week before Christmas!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Did you calk to ask why? At the very least, why they waited until now to do it, when you have no other options?? I'd call and jump their ass.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ctodd111:
So I called J&R and was told that the order canceled because I went through Amazon payments. According to J&R, the item number had changed and Amazon would not process the payment so it was canceled. I was able to keep my order intact (supposedly still with my current place in line) and upgraded my shipping to expedited. The rep said they are supposed to be in this week -- maybe Monday -- and I should receive it before Christmas. If my unit does not ship by Tuesday pm, I will be calling to cancel as I am going on vacation Friday and I wanted my TP now so I could use it on that trip. Hope everyone else is hearing better news.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
Just got the email, my prime had officially shipped! Will arrive Monday!

My 64GB pre-order from Amazon now has an estimated shipping date. The date is January 23rd!!!! And I won't receive it until January 26th. Very screwed up if they are going to wait that long specially when I pre-ordered it on November 22nd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DanoUF:
Did, you just change shipping speed? Most of us didn't have a est. date until we went in and switched to a faster shipping speed. mine has been Jan 9 for weeks. I'm just a little bummed that I paid the $100 dollar premium for the 64GB, and wasn't at least given a heads up somewhere that they would ship later than the 32GBs. Still, this has been better than the Ceton InfiniTV 4 pre-order fiasco last year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
Yeap, I can confirm, second email received!!

Email Subject: Your Amazon.com order of "ASUS Transformer TF201-B1-..." has shipped!

Your estimated delivery date is: Monday, December 19, 2011

I hope Amazon send the rest of your orders as soon as possible!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Lets get the devs working now! :) stoked to hear
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ctodd111:
Amazon has the 64gb champagne back up for preorder. I'm tempted, but I really want the purple. Here's to hoping JR comes through tomorrow and ships!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Yep, I changed my shipping speed to next day and that is when my delivery estimate changed to next month, late January. I don't know what to do, but I don't think there is anything I could do. I doubt I'll be able to snag a 32GB model. So it seems for all of us who selected the 64GB models will just have to wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Bought it. Really dont want the 64gb one though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbg1:
same hopefully they do 32gb preorders again...but if not oh well i did want the champagne one tho
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DanoUF:
I wouldn't worry to much, I think all of us w/ earlier Jan dates changed our shipping speed as soon as we could. I'm guessing their system just pushes the est date out ~30 days from the day you switched if there isn't an availability in the system. I doubt you lost your place in line. And as you say the likelyhood of snagging a 32GB before your 64GB ships is low.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xmtsystems:
I just checked my tracking info w/UPS. Originally, I was supposed get my Prime on Dec. 21st, but now it looks like they've moved it up to the 19th. :D I hope UPS doesn't disappoint!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
So I just got this email about my original cancellation from amazon back on the second..... what kind of sick joke is this?

Oh and I'm getting $10. Wow...

Hello,

We wanted to let you know your order for Transformer TF201-B1-GR (10.1-Inch Screen) Tablet was inadvertently canceled by our system. We're very sorry about this. If you’d still like to purchase Transformer TF201-B1-GR (10.1-Inch Screen) Tablet, you may pre-order again after 12:00 a.m. PST December 19th at the following link:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Yup, I posted the same thing in the other thread. I honestly meant to post it in this one. Oh well. The question is do I bother re-pre-ordering, or just letting my Newegg Pre-Order ride and hope they come through.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
Just got that email. I'd have to get up at 3 in the morning. Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Same for me here on EST. I'm usually up around then though. I'm guessing people will be setting alarms.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
My IT Manager just forwarded this email to me since he placed the order for me. Funny in a sick, messed up sort of way! :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
I thought amazon was a big boy retailer... seems they royally screwed many of us for their problem and all they want to give us is $10? Geez if I took all the hours I spent with this and charged them my pay rate it would be several thousand dollars....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
the real question is, since they claim it was an "accident" does that mean if we pre-order tomorrow, we will be getting them this week. Or this pre-order is for the following weeks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tlo729:
Ditto here, part of me wants to tell amazon to just shove it. So I can preorder again but they still don't say if-when they will actually have stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
I got the same email. Looks like its gonna be a busy 3am.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
Would be interesting to hear what Amazon customer service would say if asked this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
I may have to look... there is the special link. Maybe they'll pony up some love? Not likely but I'll have to look.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Yeah as of the moment, the page is only visible if you have the link. I guess this is their way of throwing us a bone. I'm going to bite the bullet and try my luck again with Amazon. I already have a feeling that I'll do this and Newegg will surprise me with a shipment this week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
So that'd be 2am the 20th here in central time.... why such a weird time? See who bites so they can screw with them again?

Edit: just realized my stupidity... this is this morning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
Maybe we should take that link out to better the chances lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
lol I'm not gonna lie, I totally edited my post in the other thread and removed the link. Of course those of us who plan to do this already have the link. Why do I forsee Amazons site becoming indcredibly slow as people rush to pre-order this again. Funny thing is I had a feeling they would pull something like this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lani Kai:
This, after they repeatedly INSISTED that Asus was not going to be able to supply them because of manufacturing issues when I contacted them. I guess it was an outright lie, and no wonder Asus' Twitter seemed confused about it.

When I first contacted them, the customer service rep said they'd issue me $20 credit. I contacted them again and another rep said they'd give me $30. My e-mail today says I will get $10 credit. Does this mean I'm getting $60?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
You are correct in removing the link. We paid for it! Of course you most likely wouldn't be able to use it unless you're on the list anyway. All things being the same I'd rather not have been on it to begin with. No reason to have to fight through a bunch of yahoo's trying to capitalize.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
I got the email too. They should have given free overnight shipping as well. Having it so that I have to order at 3am pisses me off once again, and only $10 is crap.

The more I thinks about it, they laid blame squarely on Asus, lying to all of us, and now a special order in the wee hours of the morning. Amazon sucks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
I totally understand you guys sentiments. The thing is they are in fact making us go through it all over it again. The only advantage we have is having a direct link to the product page. So we can always refresh it while everyone else will have to wait until the page goes live and they have to search for it. It would've been nice to give us an option to reestablish our previous pre-orders or as Bimboy pointed out give us free overnight shipping. Eitherway, guess I'll see you guys at 3am.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Doesn't matter if you list the link or not, the link has been posted in slickdeals.net. If you all don't know, once something is on there, everyone knows about it. Posting the link here so at least we have access to it as well.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0067PLM5E
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jbg1:
yeah i got it from sd...i wont cancel the 64 till i preorder the 32...i wont be mad if its a few weeks delay
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Sigh, yeah I know about that site. They always do that, post links to specials, or emails sent to selective people. It is what it is at this point. Now it's going to be even more of a hassle but it was expected. Not everyone was bound to keep this to themselves. Personally I would've waited until I had my own secured before I posted a link. Just saying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kborer22:
this is hardly a consolation prize, although i will say that this does address my largest issues that i had with amazon cancelling our predorders, just sending us to the back of the line and forcing us to the generic "sign up to get notified when this product is available."

Then again Amazon un-does any good will by making this thing available at an obscure time like 12AM PST. Hate to break it to you amazon but people work!

I am at the very least intrigued, since they leave all the important details, like when these will be available for shipment.

Hopefully best buy will come through and i won't need to pre-order this tablet for a 3rd time
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
That thread has had over 112,00 views, so that link is due to be pounded since it is now at the top of the list. The thread was buried for a while though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
I just called and asked whether it mattered who used the link and they claim those who had it preordered before will get first priority so it doesn't do much for those who didn't get the email.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
Yeah, you would have to be an idiot to think that amazon does not have our order numbers matched to this email that they sent out, and will not use the same order number on this select make it right offer. They are trying to make this right, not create a new storm of bad publicity.

My old order number is right on the email I recieved. How hard would it to be to only activate the link only for those with the order numbers they sent out? They are reactivating OLD order numbers, not assigning new ones from what I see. Honestly, if Amazon screwed up something that simple I would really begin to wonder about them.

I am not too worried.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Yeah I hear you, it was going to be hammered regardless because we here weren't the only ones who pre-ordered. Personally not going to get myself up in arms about it. I still have my Newegg pre-order to fall back on. I'm just hoping that the timing of this new pre-order is purposeful. I have a feeling that even though they are calling it a pre-order those who get their orders in will most likely ship between monday-tuesday.
