64 GB Champagne Prime (Jan 25-Feb 8 ) :-(

Just got this e-mail from Amazon for my order from November 18 (2 day delivery):

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

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] Swiftks:
Great.... feel like I'm in line for a firing squad.... You can see whats coming, just waiting my turn. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Both Lenovo and Acer are working on Teg3 tablets. The Lenovo enters production in January. They're both supposed to have higher res (1900x1200) displays, more RAM (2GB), a 1.6GHz Teg3, and launch with ICS. I'd guess all new premium tablets will be thin and light as that's what people now expect. The Toshiba Excite (dual-core) coming in February will be the thinnest and lightest tablet available and, unless someone else beats them, will be the first production ICS tablet released.

Everybody assumes that Asus has some type of lock on Teg3. They don't. Nvidia's been working with other manufacturers since the SoC was in its infancy. The Prime's first to market but, other then the keyboard dock, there's nothing unique about it. Asus is assembling the same third-party sourced components (only Samsung makes their own) available to anyone else. CES is January 11. Everyone will make announcements there about their plans and timing. I think 2012 is going to be a good year for Android tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Ya if that Lenovo looks decent it'll def be something I'll consider getting. The 2GB of ram and higher res are going to be key upgrades in next year's tech when it comes to tablets imo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Selutha:
Thanks for the info! I have always like Asus products and thought the transformer was very nice but, I have waited this long I am starting to concider waiting longer for higher res.

For the thread: I have had a delivery date for Jan 10th since the preorder 11/22 so I think all the jan 5-12 dates are just place holders. I am really starting to think it will be late jan or feb. I talked to a cs rep and they said it was a defect with 64gb is causing a delay but, it is just a cs rep; take it with a grain of salt.

*edit

I preordered from CANSELZON... (my poor attempt at humor.... Amazon.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shocky0:
Never got my ETA email. But I had a CS rep drop the price of my tablet down to $550 for the inconvience, so I'm wondering if that pushed me to the back of the line.

Ohh well, I needed it for the first week of January and it wouldn't be here for that date anyways.

I bought my wife a TF101 for christmas via the best buy black friday sale and now I'm using it until my TF201 comes in.

http://www.itproportal.com/2011/12/20/asus-transformer-prime-64gb-tablet-delayed-until-q2-2012/

So I guess this means that the delay is official?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Not official as I read it, but given I got my 32 GB and not my 64 gb it seems logical.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
The delay is for the 64GB in the UK.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
But the fact remains the 64GB's are delayed in the US as well until at least Jan 26... at least on Amazon for those that pre-ordered in the first few hours of orders on Nov 22.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regorthegreat:
I ordered 11/22 64GB and have a ship date - Friday January 13, 2012 - Wednesday January 18.

If It gets pushed back to Q2 2012, I am just going to get a 32GB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
when did you pre order it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Wanted to make the swtich from 64GB to 32GB, but it looks like NCIX isn't allowing 64GB-buyers to do so... only if you had ordered the gold 32GB could they offer the switch to grey 32GB. Lame.

Grey 64gb

Amazon

Not shipped - ETA 1.09.2012

Just finished chatting with customer service at amazon.

You are now connected to Swastik from Amazon.com.

Me:I've been reading online that many people have received their orders of the transformer prime, but only the 32gb models. I was wondering why no 64gb models have shipped since they were supposed to have the same shipping date. my Order # is 105-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx

Swastik:Hello, my name is Swastik.

Please wait while I check this for you.

Me:ok

Swastik:Thanks for waiting, cody.

ASUS has started shipping the Transformer Prime tablet to us in extremely limited quantities.

Amazon will be fulfilling pre-orders on a first come, first served basis as we receive inventory.

Me:have you received any of the 64gb models at all?

Swastik:I'm sorry we are unable to say on this.

I checked and see that this item will be delivered to you by January 9, 2012.

Me:I was told that last week. but then I was told that date was just a placeholder, and i should get shipment information this week. I'm not trying to bother anyone about this but it is $600 dollars i'm spending and have not been given any solid information about when my account will be charges or when the item will ship.

Swastik:I'm sorry for the wrong information which I gave before. I've checked the availability of the computer and found that it is listed as "available."

Our shipping estimates--such as Usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks --take into account the time it takes to receive the item from our suppliers, package it, and prepare it for shipment.

Items listed as "usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks" typically take up to 4 to 7 weeks to obtain and prepare for shipment, but can occasionally take longer.

Selecting One-Day or Two-Day Delivery does not change how long it takes us to obtain items and prepare them for shipment; it only reduces the travel time after the order leaves our fulfillment center.

Me:Any idea if you have any in your warehouse? or how long it will take to get it if it shows as available?

Swastik:Currently we don't have but we're excepting it to receive soon from the supplier.

Me:any idea what soon means?

Swastik:Currently I can't say about that. But I can confirm that you will receive it by January 9, 2012.

Me:OK, thank you very much. that will work. I appreciate your time and have a good holiday.

Swastik:Thanks for Visiting Amazon.com. We hope to see you soon.

11/22 - Nov. 22nd. Mid day.

It appears codyco83 ordered the exact same thing as me, but the following day and he has an earlier date. So the date must be just a loose guess, or they aren't keeping the orders in line very well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
Hm... I ordered the same day (22nd) and got jan 24-feb 7 as my estimated date

At least, now we know
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
I ordered mine early in the morning on the 23rd. Then on the 25th I changed to 1 day shipping. That's when I got the Jan. 9th date. About a week and a half ago I talked with a customer service rep who took off the 1 day shipping charge.

I'm curious if the people who got pushed back to late Jan. early Feb. dates recently had the 1-day shipping charges removed. just trying to figure out what happened. Not that I'm disappointed about an earlier ship date than a lot of people, I don't agree with amazon pushing back anyone who ordered before me. Hopefully what I've been told numerous times about these dates being placeholders is correct, especially for the early preorders that got pushed to Feb.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regorthegreat:
I originally ordered with Standard shipping. I really didn't care much to get the device FIRST. I just wanted it shipped asap. But, I got worried about the possibility Amazon might discriminate and give priority to 1 day, or 2 day shipments...and I wanted a better date than "Sometime after Christmas". So I changed my shipping to 1 day about a week ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e-motion:
"First come, first serve", my a$$. I ordered mine in the early AM of 11/22 and got the exact same email yesterday afternoon. After some real BS from the chat rep, I am no longer an Amazon customer, nor will I ever be again. I've spent way too much money with them for well over 10 years to accept this kind of piss-poor service. They did absolutely NOTHING to retain my business, not even a $10 credit or anything. All I heard once was "we're sorry for the inconvenience" and that was it.

I will now shop elsewhere, and I wish more people would vote with their wallet, as that would be the only way to do a better job at communicating with their clients.

Also, if I have to wait until at best February to get a Prime, I might as well wait for the competitors' next move. Asus screwed up once with the TF101, and they're repeating the exact same mistakes this 2nd time around ? Screw you Asus, you don't deserve my business. My next tablet will be one with NFC and maybe higher resolution display. I can wait at this point, at least Samsung and the others know how to distribute a product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
My 64 GB Grey still has ETA of Jan. 9th, like it always has. I ordered on 11/22 (early evening from what I remember). Changed to 1 day shipping a couple of days later. Have since got a CS Rep. to give me free 1 day shipping, as that's what the new promotion said when it briefly came back up for the 2nd batch order.... ETA is still Jan. 9th, no new e-mails.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DanoUF:
Same situation here, no dreaded email, but not sure that means much at this point. Only time will tell. This is starting to get as bad as the Ceton InfiniTV pre-order/release last year
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fritzed:
If you have an estimated shipping date at all, you can count yourself as lucky. I ordered the 64GB Gray the morning of 11/22 and all I get is "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time." Not even a vague estimate of the week that it might ship to me.

In regards to the question about 1 day shipping being credited, it didn't happen automatically. I contacted Amazon chat support yesterday in an attempt to get the $3.99 credited, but they ended up just putting a $3.99 general credit on my account.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Well, tell them to apply that credit to your order #... I've already done that for over $250 worth of Amazon gift cards I've gotten in the last week for Christmas. ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
Go to the original site to first post this http://www.slashgear.com/asus-transformer-prime-64gb-uk-ship-date-slips-to-q2-2012-19203165/ and you will see that someone deleted "UK" from the title :(

Not sure that this applies to USA ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
That' was my understanding. I saw the same thing. I can't wait till Q2, seriously.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
I was actually weighing in the perks and cons of getting a 64GB iPad instead of the Prime, and I just can't bring myself to do it. At least the 32GB Prime is upgradable in storage space... Micro SDXC is way too good to pass up. I might just downgrade to the 32GB and wait till the first week of January for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
I'm seriously considering doing the same thing. I'll have to see if I come across some 32Gb in Jan to buy if I still don't have my 64GB by then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bootoo:
Lets keep cool...(for now) as this new delay is just a rumour...

Until I receive an official statement from Amazon or Asus, I stick with my 64GB order...

If this is true, I won't be happy as I am really of these paper launchs...

Unfortunately for ASUS, if nothing come before Q2, I will consider other models (SAMSUNG) who could land on the market at the same time...

I hate Apple but have to say they are good in marketing (when they build-up expectations, it is ready to buy within a month) and chain supply (the always have a constent flow of components to build their products)...

I like ASUS as a company but have to say that, if this new delay IS TRUE, they really have disapointed me on this one...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
honestly, I'm thinking that this isn't just amazon that's gonna hold back the 64gb models. If what is going around is true, no one is gonna get one till mid-late jan. and I'm sure that by now, it's gonna look the same way for the 32gb models also. Then again, that just bumps the rest of us who are patient up, so keep at it! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s0ysauce45:
Hmm, wonder if I should cancel my Amazon order for a 64 and order a 32, but 32's also say the wait is 4-7 weeks. Might as well just be patient then I guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
My Jan. 9th date still holding.... I have doubts whether it will actually arrive by then, but no new eta emails.... yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regorthegreat:
I really don't like the idea of double ordering for a pre-order, but I've already gotten screwed once with this already, so I'm not taking any more chances...

The 64GB has a ship date of 1/13/12. Just in case that gets pushed back any more, I also ordered a 32GB which has a ship date of 1/25/12. So I'll be taking whichever becomes available first now. Waiting 5 months (if the rumor of the Q2 release might be true) for a preorder that should have been maybe a month is just not worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
I read that someone contacted amazon and they were told that they were getting some of the 64gbs in and that they were going to start filling orders. So, I chatted with amazon myself and got the same reply, only they said that they were getting them in VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES and will be filling orders asap. So, it is possible that a few people may see their 64GB very soon! I pre-ordered on Nov. 22 at like 8am so maybe I'll be lucky this year too!.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regorthegreat:
I'll be very happy when at least 1 person posts they have received tracking for their 64GB. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Agreed..... and hopefully that one person will be me! :p:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
I saw that there were three (or so) 64GB primes available on ebay. So Asus did at least one run of the larger primes. So at this point, I'm not patiently waiting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
:D I hear ya! I can't stop checking my amazon/email/this forum every 5 minutes!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
At this point, I'll just be happy if it actually ships on Jan. 9th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techronico:
I ordered my 64GB Grey on 11/18. So hopefully they fill that before the 11/22 orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
Ordered mine on the 22nd at 7:30am.

Got off the chat with customer service. Seems I'm still in the queue for the first batch of Primes. But they really don't have any idea when they will be receiving inventory yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wstahlm80:
I pre-ordered my 64GB on 11/26/2011 with govconnection (aka pcconnection). The latest update I received from my rep is as follows:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
I read on Transformer forums that someone got a clear answer out of Amazon as to the availability of the 64GB. Amazon apparently has some (at least) Amethyst Grey ones. Too bad I ordered the Champagne!

I think it depends on where you ordered from. I pre-ordered 2 64Gb greys from B&H on 11/24 and I received notice that they'll be shipping once packed from warehouse last night. I suspect I'll get tracking info today.
