I'm pretty sure that was misinformation or a flat out lie. I ordered Nov. 24 which I think was the earliest day to order based on what I've read here and am still waiting.

I was just on the phone with them as well. Was told that my order is still on hold, then I asked if there was any way to get more information and specifically asked if others had been shipped. She left for a couple of minutes and then told me that they have about 150 preorders to fill. She didn't know whether any had been shipped or not but I'm thinking probably not.

She also said that 12/27 was the date that the manufacturer gave them, but admittedly is an estimate so they really don't know when shipments will arrive. Said they will ship in the order that people preordered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Arggg! They need to hurry up! It's only 150 people common asus and newegg!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
They have never shipped Anything. They didn't start taking orders until mid-day on 11/25, and I ordered the following day.

Unbelievable how they will say anything it seems just to get you off the phone. New-Egg customer support used to be good years ago… what has happened to them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Wow I'm gonna be without a tablet this Christmas :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
I'm stuck using my wife's ipad lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I wouldn't use a tablet if I had the choice between an ipad and nothing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Are you sure about that? My preorder has 11/24/2011 printed next to it. I don't directly remember when I preordered it, but how could they have it wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
It's not that bad, other than safari crashing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Guys, I have not cancelled my order, but not sure what to do at this point- First impressions of the device are a mixed bag based upon user feedback... (light leakage and dead pixels) then I read this over at the transformers forum:

Article is dated for Dec20th:

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ransformer-prime-delayed-until-q2-2012-a.html

EDIT Based on below post: UK only?, -possibly global but not confirmed ??

I know this is for 64GB model only, and we still might get a 32GB from New-egg at some point, but the news just keep getting worse and worse for this tablet.

What do you guys think??? Should we care if there are not that many of these floating around?? will this tablet ever get custom rom development if so few people will have one in the next 6 months???? Can Asus sell many of these by the middle of next year? There might be other options by that time and I just don't know what to do?????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
the poster above did not state that the statement applied to the uk, not the us. they have not made any statements as far as I know about 64 gb availability in the us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Post #14 on that transformer forums thread specifically states that the delay will not apply to the US market. Still, I am feeling discouraged as well.

For me, there's no reason not to wait until the 27th and see if Newegg actually delivers. This will be my first tablet and I am sure I want an android, and the consensus from reviews is that this is easily the best option. There will always be negative reviews, but I've gotten the impression that most people are pleased. Even the guy with the dead pixels says he is otherwise really happy with the device.

Granted, I don't know what I'll think if the 27th rolls around and we've still gotten nothing from Newegg...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azzurrony:
I joined this forum just to express my frustrations with Newegg and this whole process. I actually pre-ordered from Newegg on NOVEMBER 24th. I have to think I'm one of the first in line.

Yet, they have been dragging me through this whole saga and giving me false information to keep me quiet. I chatted with their customer service and said they have been shipping early pre-orders. That's BS. I would have been part of the first batch if that was true.

I relied on their 12/8/11 ETA date when they first posted it...so much so that I didn't even bother with the Gamestop Pre-order. Man, what a mistake. I'm hoping that I can snag an extra one from a Gamestop this week, but it's pretty unlikely here in NYC where there is a ton of demand for this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Yeah I also pre-ordered on the 24th as well before most people realized Newegg was taking orders. I haven't even bothered to contact customer service because I'm fully aware that they have no knowledge of whats actually going on as they are not in shipping or receiving. All they have access to is whats on there screen and thats essentially the same as you. I didn't hold too much stock in their 12/8 date but I was hoping that they would at least have them the same time as other retailers which is before their 12/27 date. It seems not to be however. I have been fine throughout the proccess expending my patience. I think I would finally be upset if next tuesday comes and goes and they still haven't shipped as they assured everyone else here who did bother calling that is when they expect them.

Edit: lol so either they are confident in getting more stock or more people are canceling their orders as their page has it up for pre-order again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azzurrony:
Why lie to me though and say some initial pre-orders have been shipped? That really annoys me. If you and I who ordered on the 24th haven't received as much as a notification that the order is being processed, how can others be receiving anything? I hate when companies lie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
to give you hope??? But seriously I guess at this point they are just frustrated themselves with frustrated people calling them about it. So they are giving you a false sense of hope. They obviously haven't shipped any since no one at all has said anything about receiving a shipping notification from Newegg. I'm sure if someone did they would've created their own thread "12/20/11 Receieved Shipping Email from Newegg with Tracking Number". lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yeah but this is getting crazy! I mean they need to ship by tomorrow to get it to me for Christmas!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
That is actually people cancelling their pre-orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I noticed the shipping on the page went from 11.26 down to 9.99 is this a sign or did the shipping rates go down!?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
Yeah cause I cancelled my pre-order yesterday from Newegg. I really thought they were going to come through :(.... TigerDirect came through though and I got my 32GB Champagne model yesterday! Now waiting on the Sleeve and a way to get a Champagne Dock.

I'll probably have a 32GB Grey from Gamestop on Friday that I could overnight if someone wants it on the 24th. It would be at cost for everything which would include 8% sales tax in NY.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
That's nice make a post and try and sell it to a developer who's done good work in the past! That way we can get some good roms!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Makes sense. I guess I just let all this hysteria finally get to me...I am going to try and weather out this storm, but DAM- the waters sure are getting rough out here. Thanks for walking me off the plank! :)

I guess New-egg did start taking pre-orders on the 24th and not the 25th (based on the comments of others here) - I did read in another post it was the 25th, but I obviously was mistaken.

Let's hope we get these freaking things shipped already.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Apparently it didn't matter if you pre-ordered from Newegg. Their website still says expected in stock on 12/27/11 if you order now. What a joke..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pratapkiran:
i would like to buy it from you. i live in albany. so i can pick it up my self if dont mind. check your PM.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azzurrony:
I always thought Newegg kills TigerDirect when it comes to logistics and execution. Instead, TD is way ahead of Newegg on this one. Realllllllllllly disappointing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
How about RecentOvum?

edit:// Oops I misread the title. Thought it said 'Any new word for Newegg?' not '...from Newgg'. My fault. Sorry for the confusion. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
They always have in the past... that plus the fact they had an original ship date of 12/8- they lured me in with that date, since i thought they would ship first, then BAM!! .... it was lights out for us all.

Wasn't New-egg part of their approved reseller list???

Utter nonsense.... no words can describe what a joke this whole process has become...... Ok , gotta get back to work... the more I check this thread, the more disappointed i become.

**EDIT: Just read in another thread that others have now also received the 32GB gray model from tiger direct. These grays are popping up all over the place except where WE need them to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
My wife ordered one to surprise me for Christmas, she used Newegg because she has heard me reccommend them many times, She was under the impression that it would arrive on 12/8 too, and the fact that she had no communication from Newegg about a different ship date, she didnt try to order it anywhere else, and she finally had to tell me what she ordered so I could try and find another before Christmas, but its too late. She is so upset.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Just called Newegg. Apparently they still haven't gotten anything and they don't even know what they will get on the 27th. Very encouraging! If you paid for overnight shipping it seems like the will issue a credit for that once the package is shipped.. for what it's worth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
12/9 was the first declared release date so that makes sense. The lack of updates after that, not so much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
That and the different information everyone seems to be getting from them when Calling. Never expected that from such a highly regarded company.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Still nothing Wtf!

Wow! This is bull!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
What worries me is that most of the places that are shipping this week say that the next batch isn't going to be here until Jan at the earliest. It seems strange that Newegg would get nothing on release week, but instead get it the week after when no one else has it.

I have to call today to change my shipping address. Hope I don't have to call again next week and change it back! :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
I have a feeling that Newegg submitted the order late to ASUS and thats why there is a delay compared to other stores. So at this point, we cant even beleive the Dec 27 date. Wife is trying to talk me into a Ipad 2 lol. Says at least I could have it by Christmas if we order today lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Crap... I never looked at it this way, but it sure sounds like a creditable theory. ...

Can this situation actually get any worse ???

If they actually missed the boat on the first shipment, .... wait- I don't even want to go there. Asus has to balance their shipments, don't they??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Warning to anyone who tries to change their shipping address: I spoke to two different reps and they both said the system would not allow them to make any changes. One said this is not uncommon for preorders. *facepalm*
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Just out of curiosity what color is everyone waiting for?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Grey for me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Grey 32g for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Newegg only had gray
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Ann. I think it's the color that's the prob. The amazon orders that were cancelled were grey 32g I believe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Actually it could be to our advantage these suckers are delayed at New-Egg after all… did you guys see the poll?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1404836

Edit:

Possible GPS issues ???

Come on… Even I know that a metal cover can cause interference. Can Asus engineers have overlooked something this simple ??? Even apple knew better to put the gps and wifi antenna behind the plastic apple logo- How did these geniuses miss something so trivial in the design??? Was there no quality control at all ??

I hope any legitimate issues can be corrected in software updates for our sake.

I don't know, but the last thing I want is to receive a tablet with defects and have to return it…. Maybe New-Eggs shipment will be more refined?

I watched this video below, … and I know I still want it… go figure

Ok, I joined the new egg customer forum here:

http://www.eggxpert.com

Thread here:

http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/480/ShowForum.aspx

I added a post asking why New-Egg won't ship this when other e-tailers already have . Not sure or not if you can view posts unless you create an account first. The more complaints they get, the better-

at least it will demonstrate to them that they can't simply ignore us, any maybe it will bring attention to this item and they will give us some satisfaction on a solid ship date.

They also have a dedicated Asus forum if someone else wants to look into this-

It's worth a shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jwigginton:
Looks like Newegg was the wrong place to preorder. I preordered 11/25 and people who ordered from Office Depot on Dec 20th are getting them in stock, but still nothing from Newegg? Bestbuy, Gamestop, Tiger Direct, ABT??? Everybody but Newegg.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Theory #1 they got the shipment in and thought they where the old transformers! as the box is like exactly the same and without close examination you could mistake them! I had a Gamestop employee try to sell me the old keyboard dock! lol they had the display boxes for the new dock out and they look so similar! they could have mistaken them! You never know!

Theory #2 they are in the same boat that the Gamestop stores are and had them in stock ready to ship for the 9th and then they got recalled! as far as we know the only ones with faulty antennas where the gray ones! Anand Tech never got a champagne one with a faulty antenna! Newegg only sells the gray this might be the problem! Which in this case with gamestop recceiving them for in store sale on the 23rd. So if newegg reccives them at around 11AM on the 23rd they will have them sorted packed and ready to be shipped for Monday the 26th getting to us on their ETA of 12/27/11!

I think theory #2 makes sense and that this is Asus's fault! not Newegg! as i am sure they had to send them because of the wifi! This is why the champagne models have shipped everywhere else! And also why Bestbuy has because they are probably the highest priority for Asus!

But someone else should call again today and get like a manger of someone in shipping!

Theory #3 some masked bandit stole them from the truck and is selling them on Ebay!

Sorry for the spelling typed this really quick in school on the computer lol!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
all models had faulty antennas. underneath the case it's the same guts. They just didn't release any golds to the reviewers. Which is why you might be confused as to the problem. They fixed enough golds to ship out pre-orders. Greys were next.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Still I think newegg was one who had to send them back.. Others haven't received them yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Looks like some of the Office Depot orders are being shipped today. Interestingly, a few people have heard that they will get theirs 12/27 or 12/28. I'm choosing to read this as a positive sign, though it also makes me wonder if placing a backup order at Office Depot would be a good idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Idk I will be fine as long as I get it before the 2nd when I go back to school!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
When my wife ordered, she never got an update that changed the shipping date, and i would think the date that was showing would be for the next wave, not retroactive to previous orders unless an email stating it was received, which it wasnt.

That eggxpert forums seems to be a bit hostile to negative feedback......

Edit: Just saw they call you unintelligent and locked the thread...wow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Haha.. they locked the thread. So much for being open to criticism. I love how they stated multiple times that if anything happened to your order that Newegg would notify you.. whatever.

I could forgive Asus not supplying them with the merchandise. Just let me know.. this whole cover up/not knowing anything crap is getting old. I'll do my best not to buy anything from them again after this. Whatever it is I need it seems Amazon will be able to get it to me quicker.. or *cringes* even BestBuy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
The champagne version is available and in stock as of now!

I cancelled the order for the grey one and ordered this one with next day delivery hoping that it ships today.

I preferred the darker color but it's fine since I'll probably put a skin or something on it anyways.

Love how they sell put it up for sale but have no problem letting the people that ordered one a month ago getting f'ed over. I am so pissed right now! Please let me know if any of you guys get a shipping notice on that order.. and congrats for snagging one if you get it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
It's most likely up for sale due to other people cancelling their preorders. I

highly

doubt they are screwing people over who pre-ordered. This has been going on for a while now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
It was pointed out to me that Newegg only had the Grey for preorder.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Yeah there was never an option to order Champagne color at the time of pre-order. Seems like they got a batch of Champagne in and figured the pre-orders were money in the bank so they decided to sell them to new customers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
I thought there were no previous preorders for the Champagne model. If it showed in stock earlier then they must have gotten something in or SOMETHING must have changed. Someone somewhere clearly has some new information. Could they not have said something to any of us that have been calling nonstop over the past few days??

Ugh. Every time I turn my back on this forum for a second it seems I miss another opportunity. This is so discouraging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Tell me about it.. I have used Newegg a lot because of their Customer service and quick shipping. Never coming back after this experience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jwigginton:
Yeah - why not call or notify the pre-orders

1. It was delayed to begin with

2. FYI, looks like we are getting some champagne stock in <date>. Would you like this model instead.

I'm very interested to find out if they ship the champagne, if it was just a fluke in their system and it gets back ordered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
I just emailed one of the reps that was giving me a refund for the overnight shipping. Curious to see what he says. If they didn't have it in stock then fine, but they did and shipped it to people ordering today... :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Wordlywisewiz, where did you get that number that is supposed to be direct to the Newegg warehouse? Maybe it would be worth calling them about this. As much as I feel like yelling at the CS reps, it's possible that they really can't access any relevant information.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
