ARGH!!! I ordered mine at about 7pm eastern, so just a few hours after you. I must have just barely missed the last shipment. I had gotten used to waiting, but I lent a friend at work my keyboard dock, so he brought the tablet in today and I got to play with it for a bit, and now I'm all impatient again...

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

I said respectfully!

It does seem (from my xda forum lurking) that Amazon has been shipping a bit more regularly recently. At least the 32gb gray and both 64gb models seem to have gotten shipped in the past week. So hopefully they're getting close to clearing some back orders and everyone will get their stuff soon. I believe, I believe, I believe...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
I don't know what their status is anymore, but I ordered my dock (grey) from Best Buy this past weekend. It'll be here tomorrow.

I know, I know; I kid, I kid. But yes, from what I've seen, Amazon is pushing them out the second they get them. I just hope this next shipment of Primes that they get from Asus is massive to ensure we all get our stuff. I'm not good at waiting :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
For what it's worth, I just did the chat and the phone call again with Amazon. The woman on chat said they had no idea when they're coming in. Then I got an email that said they were sorry my order got cancelled. So then I flipped out and did the phone thing. The woman on the phone assured my my order was not cancelled, but confirmed that nobody at Amazon knows when they are getting more stock. She definitely knew the whole deal with the TP... It apparently wasn't her first time around the block fielding calls on this thing. So I guess it's just more waiting in the dark...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Steve1624:
I canceled my preorder order today that I made on 11/22 of a 64GB Grey with Amazon I walked into Fry's Duluth GA and picked up the 64GB grey at 1pm today. They had some 32gb and 64gb left after I got mine. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Congrats and thanks! You moved some of us up in the line!

None of the local stores around me have any in stock, otherwise I'd do the same thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Godswrath:
Do you know their return policy by chance?

EDIT: Looked around online, first I saw 30 days satisfaction guaranteed, then I saw "Notebook computers, netbooks, tablets and iPads, desktop computers, monitors, MP3 players and iPods, memory, microprocessors, motherboards, internal/external hard drives, network-attached storage, CD and DVD recorders, camcorders, cameras, projectors, and air conditioners may only be returned within 15 days from the date of purchase." in the fine print.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Son of your *****!!! where is my freaking tablet Amazon!!! I have 3 brick & mortar stores within driving distance (about a hour) that already have it in stock... but noooooo, the mighty Amazon can't even seem to tell me when they will be getting more 64gbs in!!! Only reason I haven't canceled more order yet, is b/c I have $300 of Amazon gift cards going towards the purchase, so I'm only paying half price, but really WTF Amazon!!! So much for my delivery date of Jan. 9th. :mad::mad::mad: That's right angry face emoto con, b/c I'm f*cking pissed off!!!

Ok, freak out is over... sorry about that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Max Johnson:
I just opened up my email to reply to both J&R and Adorama to cancel my order in order to wait for the 700 series prime. As I did this, I had a note from J&R that they must have tried to process my order (finally) but had trouble due to a recent change in my credit card numbers. I guess that's one place that finally has some 64's in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheKricket:
I have a feeling there might have been an issue with the 64GB tablets - mine, for example, is going back to Amazon tomorrow.

I'm sure you'll be happier waiting - and getting a tablet that actually functions correctly (for the most part - GPS, of course, will not).

My 64gb gold will be here tomorrow from Fry's..........

Wow, thanks a lot for this brand new piece of information. You should definitely spread the word, as nobody has posted about this at all. I can only imagine how you were able to get this secret information. You must have some sort of inside source at Asus. You've done everyone here a great service.

Amazon is getting on my last nerves. I pre-ordered 11/22 and had an estimate of receiving it tomorrow. I just got an email if i still wanted it and now it changed to I will be emailed when available... Ugh :-\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
The tf201 is no longer offered direct from amazon and newegg has deactivated it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] got_killed:
What does that mean? I preordered for nothing and have been waiting for nothing? Lol I want this tablet so much but jeez Amazon is doing a wonderful job pushing me away from even wanting it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
Looks more like asus has pulled the product off shelves.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
The tf201 is no longer IN STOCK from Amazon.

I don't even know where to start with this... This is beyond speculation, and has entered the realm of just making stuff up.

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

I still don't get all the Amazon hatred that's going around. It seems like people think Amazon is sitting on piles of TF201s just because they think it's funny. I think it's been relatively well established that the demand for this tablet is higher than the supply at this stage. That means people are going to have to wait. I'm not saying that Amazon has handled everything perfectly (in regards to the early cancellations of some orders, or their inability to give an accurate delivery estimate), but as far as I can tell, when they get tablets in, they ship tablets out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yeah, it purely a supply thing... Amazon isn't ASUS's only dealer for the 64 GB Prime. They also have to supply their other suppliers with it as well. For instance, most of the Fry's in Texas have the 64 GB in stock and in store (at least according to their website last night). However, I'm still waiting on Amazon, since I paid for 1/2 of it with Christmas Amazon gift cards... Once they get a new shipment it, we'll see all kinds of people posting, "mine's on it's way!" (just like when the 64GB golds came in last week) - Hopefully I'm one of them. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spiraleyes00:
Well I got my gray dock yesterday, but no 64gb gray tablet. The delivery estimate used to list January 12th as the earliest possible ship date for the tablet, but it seems it's been updated to the 25th now. So it's probably going to be a 2 week wait at best. :(

Order Placed: December 21, 2011

Delivery Estimate: Wednesday January 25, 2012 - Tuesday February 28, 2012

ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-GR 10.1-Inch 64GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray): not yet shipped

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Mobile Docking - Amethyst Gray (TF201-DOCK-GR): shipped January 12th, 2012
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] got_killed:
I most definitely do not hate Amazon, I buy almost everything online from Amazon! I have a prime account and it's well worth it. Just this pre-order thing has just been so tedious. It's just frustrating to read people's post's of them receiving their tablets when I've ordered on the exact date as well as people getting theirs on orders as late as late December. All of these estimates and promises from CS as well does not make our matters much easier. But, all I can do is wait. I'm just becoming tired of this waiting game and I'm quite the patient person. Lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeimosPhoenix:
Anyone in Canada receive a 64GB model yet? I ordered from NXIC on November 23rd... still waiting.

Anyone know if they're even coming to Canada? -.-
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Any new news on 64's... I'm a patient person, but this is starting to get a bit ridiculous.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
Just contacted Amazon via chat and phone. They expect a shipment in the next few days of the 64gb. Got that from two different people. Whether that's true or not is yet to be seen. I ordered on Dec 19th and my ship date has been holding steady at Jan 24-Feb 7. I know there are folks who ordered on Nov 22 with no updates. Hopefully this shipment, if it is coming in the next few days, will allow for all of them to go out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FHSPSU67:
This jives with what I was told last week via chat. I ordered my 64GB Champagne Prime on Dec 14 and it's always had an ETA of Jan 18 to Feb 7. I was told that the Jan 18 date would be met.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DanoUF:
Yeah. . . I wouldn't take anything told to you in chat to seriously. My prime ordered on NOV 22 had a Jan 10 delivery date right up until Jan 10 when I got the email telling me they didn't have it and had no clue when it would be in. I was told in chat repeatedly prior to this email that yes, I would receive it by 10 Jan. As of today I still don't have it (or a new ship date) For the most part the CSRs in chat just tell you the same thing that you see on your order page.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
The last woman I talked to on the phone was from the "recovery department" or something like that. Anyway, she claimed that she didn't have access to info on when the next shipment would arrive, and her department has more info than any of the chat operators and most of the phone operators. She said nobody there could POSSIBLY have had any estimates. Obviously, things could have changed, or she could have been less than accurate. But I'm certainly not getting my hopes up...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buddy Revell:
Walked right into a Fry's here in So Cal and bought a 64GB Champagne Prime a few days ago. People should call up the closest location to see if they have them in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
My Fyrs has them, but $600 + tax vs $300 from Amazon... just wish I knew when they were getting some in. I could get one today if I wanted, but I figure $300+ buys Amazon an extra week or two; seeing as how my original ship date was Jan. 9th

Anybody get any good news on the 64gb this weekend? I kept checking but kept coming up with nothing. Would love to be able to get this thing soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Responded in the other thread too...

I was an 11/22 orderer, originally scheduled for 01/06 delivery. Still nothing. I will definitely post as soon as I hear something...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jb9217a:
Pre-order back up at adorama

Hey guys so I have been following this thread for a while now since I set my eyes on the TFP back in November...anyway I pre-ordered a 64gb CG on 1/6 on Amazon so my expected delivery date isn't until 2/13-2/27 :( I can't imagine waiting since 11/22 and still nothing!

Anyway today nowinstock.net had Adorama up as taking pre-orders. I placed an order for a 64gb CG w/ them today (1/16) and called them up...the rep told me they are expecting a shipment of them (CG) the first week of February, I asked her about the 64gb Grey and she said they're backordered and she doesnt have an ETA. Hope this means it will come in sooner the my Amazon order, I'm keeping that order still just in case though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
So I finally said screw it, I'm sitting on the phone until I get a supervisor, which took about 15 mins of annoying piano music (guess it took a while to route my call back to the states). Anyway, I explained the situation, about how I had a initial delivery date of Jan. 9th, which after being assured would be kept, wasn't, and now I'm in the same boat as everyone else here, with a eta saying "we will email you once a eta becomes available."

I also explained that other retailers are receiving stock this week (i.e. Bestbuy), and some already have the item in store (i.e. Fry's). Also, explained that Amazon appeared to have a initial wave of orders they fulfilled a week or two ago, and have since ran out of stock and are waiting on more from the manufacture (ASUS). I also told her that I wasn't the only one in this situation, and that many of my "friends" (i.e. you guys) also pre-ordered on the same day and have gotten the same e-mail as myself. I told her I understood that the fulfillment of the item was based on a first come first serve basis, as far as pre-orders went, but still wanted more info.

Supervisor was very nice, and said if I would allow her some time, she would e-mail the distribution/fulfillment center and find out if they knew when exactly they would be receiving more in from the manufacture. She said if I could give her a hour or more, she would contact me with more info. once it was given to her.

So, once she gets the info., or I guess I should say, if she gets the info., she'll give it to me, and I will give it to my "friends". ;)

P.S. I'm not holding my breath.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
Sooo...I'm guessing you didn't hear anything back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:

Just got an email from expansysUSA for my pre-order of 64GB Gray Prime placed on Dec 13, 2011, indicating they had the devices in stock and to confirm if I still wanted it. Called and confirmed and they also applied $20 discount with the sku below. I opted for the Fedex Ground so my total is $579.00. (The way I see it, if I waited this long what's a few more days for FedEx ground to get it to me). Here is hoping I get a unit with no defects. Thought I would share.

Ordered a grey 64gb Prime this morning from ExpansysUSA after seeing the post above, received notification of shipment on the way a couple hours ago.

I love you Amazon, but you are canceled (ordered Dec. 22nd).

I did, however, get the dock a couple days ago from Amazon, ordered same day as the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Ok, guys... what do you think? I can go to Fry's right now and get a 64 GB Grey Prime, or I can wait for Amazon to fulfill my original 11/22 pre-order. The only reason I haven't already got one was b/c I have $300 in Amazon gift cards applied to my order, so I'm getting it for half price. However, I have no idea when Amazon is getting more stock in... a supervisor couldn't even find out. On the other hand, a wait may be worth it... maybe they're working out some of their quality control issues, and that's what is casing the wait. And the one's Fry's has are probably gonna be a crap shot, just like other retailers that have been distributing this whole time. Then there's not only the full price I'll have to pay at Fry's, but throw on another $50 for tax.

So those are all my random thoughts I'm mulling over. What do you think. Get it now or wait it out?:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:

Seriously tho, I'd say wait it out ...

Amazon return policy is great, you have the gift cards, and it's already feeling like forever (reality it's still less than 2 months).

I have an Adorama order in from 12/5 (64gb CB w/dock) ... I thought about chasing around for a 64gb CB someplace else, but wasn't worth my time (and yes, I'm set on the color and size).

Adorama said they "expect this week" when I called a week or so ago. We'll see :confused:

Just got my tracking number for my 64 gb from jr.com
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
I stopped by the local Best Buy, and would have gotten a 32 if they had any, but they didn't. I'm probably in the boat that if I stumbled across one in a store, I'd probably get it, but I'm not going way out of my way to find one. Of course I also don't have 300 dollars in gift cards. I guess it would depend on how often you use Amazon for other purchases. I order stuff from there all the time, so I'd probably burn through $300 in gift cards pretty quick even without the prime.

I'm actually a bit jealous of all the sightings at Fry's, since we don't have them out on the east coast. Even if it weren't for the prime, that place is awesome (at least to the couple I've been to).

Same here, 64GB grey ordered on 11/22 will arrive on 1/24. Just in time to, b/c I was seriously considering going to take a look at Fry's this weekend.

What really sucks is, although it's coming in on Tuesday, ill be out of town till Thursday... go figure. :P

*Fingers crossed that b/c these are such a late batch, Asus may have worked out some of their quality control issues by now.

**Edit**

Hopefully they are getting a big enough batch in, where if we have any issues like bleeding, flickering, etc. we can keep sending them back to Amazon (free return shipping mind you) and getting new ones until you have a good one.

Keep the 32 GB as a test/dev device. :P

I'm sure you can sell it unopened on Amazon or eBay for $450 - $475... easy sell b/c it's unopened/still in box, they are getting it cheaper than retail, an you still make a few $. I would try it for a week or so before I returned it... sure you have a 15 - 30 day return window if unopened.
