Same here. Ordered the 6th at 9pm. I even paid the extra for shipping this time and was quoted the 9th-10th as the receive date. We'll see if the earlier quote happens in a few hours... I have a feeling I am getting my $21 back.

I ordered mine at 3:03 eastern, I can't cancel but no tracking yet. I am still not comfortable with this order yet but I am getting there. Had a Best Buy order cancelled once and an Amazon order cancelled so I am still a little nervous.

The good news is I got a 90.00 certificate to use at amazon and a 50 dollar gift card from Best Buy when I called an complained
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
Ya my card has been charged but I still see the cancel button. Not gonna risk it by messing around and trying to see what happens if I really press cancel lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acafaca333:
I just ordered mine. I can't cancel. Says order usually filled 0-1 days...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
those of you who can't cancel, any of you use regular shipping?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pitchdarkice:
i ordered with regular shipping and i'm not able to cancel
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
ok, just trying to find a common theme as to why some can and some can't
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Yes. I used regular "free" shipping.

I my wife) paid $25 expedited just 10min ago, mine says exact same thing on bottom but i am able to cancel if i want to i guess. It doesnt have those words under the check box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
just noticed something

.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?orderId=********&orderProcessed=false&type=page&id=******

i star'd out the orderId but if you look at orderProcessed in the url if you change it to true the receipt button shows up and you can't cancel anymore

that tells me according what's being produced by the database (and the obvious) that my order hasn't been processed yet

.. over analyzing.. but isn't that the point of this thread
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Items cannot be canceled if they have already been processed for shipping, home delivery or store pickup.

I'm hoping!

Just ordered from bb. The customer service rep had to get her manager to find the sku on their server. Went on their web site while waiting and it wasn't listed there so thanks very much for the link. Couldn't resist and paid for the 2 day express shipping do it should arrive on the 27th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
very cool observation. It resets my expectations lol .. thanks for posting

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

I also could not find it on BB website. But i eventually got it by googling "bestbuy tf201 grey" and it gave me the link, i placed order with 1day shipping.

also crossing fingers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pitchdarkice:
maybe if the the flag is set to true when they have it ready and shipped, if you change it to true, the column is augmented
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
I see on my order page 1-888-best-buy. Do u think u can call and order expidited shipping?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
So anyone else Not tell their wifey they just dropped 5 bills on a tablet? :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
Just ordered from here. Order went through, standard shipping is fine as will arrive no latter than the 3rd of January. Many thanks for posting this. I am so mad at Amazon right now, but this makes up for it to a degree.

I was hoping I could get one delivered this week while she was at work. We're both off next week so I gotta send her to the store around the time it's due to come IF it comes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
We usually buy each other a similar type of gift. I bought her a TF101 ($399) and told her to hand me her CC so i can order my tablet (TF201 + 32gb cfcard) hehe

tho hers is under the tree, and mine is in limbo while i read all terrible reviews online. Looks like she may have the last laugh :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
On the other hand my wife is super excited for it to get here for me.

After 5 months of 18 hour days and missing kids karate classes she says I deserve to be able to work extra hours but not be stuck at my pc, she knows me so well lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Customer care says, order/delivery confirmation could take up to 7 days due to high volume.

Geez my wife will be happy when it gets here, so ill stfu about it. I love her....lo:rolleyes:l
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
if thats the case they have to backorder it. No way in hell im paying $30 for 1day shipping if im not getting it for weeks anyway lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] akash1221:
Just ordered mine at 6:25PM PST and opted for expedited delivery, estimate is 12/27 delivery...we'll see!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bittercold:
You know honestly this is going to sound mean and well your not going to like this, but I hope everyone that found out about this SKU and spread it around gets their order cancelled. I talked to a CSR tonight and that SKU was specifically for people who pre-ordered a champagne model so we wouldn't be at the back of the line. Thanks for screwing people over by spreading something that you weren't supposed to. Merry Christmas to you.

PS. Before you say I am bitter because I didn't get one then you would be wrong. I was lucky enough to get one and yes I pre-ordered a champagne model.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
As has been stated earlier, many people found it using an inventory tracker :

http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/

or by simplying googling best buy + asus tf201.

When I ordered, I didn't know that this was the case. Neither did many others ( I assume). But I'm not cancelling my order (I can't).

Blame best buy for making the link public where it can be indexed and searched.

Go be mean elsewhere.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Ok I made it thru the customer service menus, talked to a Rep, super nice guy. I was trying to upgrade my shipping to 2 day air. Well, I couldn't. I haven't received any emails but my order has been "acknowledged" and couldn't be changed. I was told at this point it should ship out in 1 to 2 days, and depending on where u are in the country u should get it 12/29-1/3.

Sounds very promising. My rep had received so many calls this evening about the prime he looked it up, and wants one also. Lol

Anyone else think Asus did a horrible job at advertising this thing. Christ, crapple spends a fortune pushing their products.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cardman827:
As the op I will tell you that link is exactly how I found out. I always use them when I am looking for a hot item either for me or my kids. I had no idea about any kind of special link.

This is what XDA is about, sorry buddy. Merry Xmas and enjoy your tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] forceOnature:
I was able to get in on this release too. Got expedited shipping and BB is showing delivery on 12/27.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
Really hope that these come through. Amazon screwed the hell out of those of us who ordered the first day out, and then tossed us in the back of the line with everyone else on the 12th. It would be nice to finally have something go right with these.

It just has this 'too good to be true' feel to it. But I am hoping for the best. Ordered two, one for me, one as a present for my father.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] U Flippin Idiot:
Just ordered mine as well and it says delivery 12/27. It says ships in 0/1 days. If I get tracking will let you know. Thanks for the link and also for letting me know about Nowinstock website. I never heard of that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Don't blame the people using the link, blame BB for distributing a link that anyone can use with no controls on it. They should have set up a group of two or three CSR's so that people who wanted to switch could e-mail them directly to have their orders updated. Best Buy really is a mess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Same situation......

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ktulu0421:
Haha me too...my girl just gave me the order confirmation... I'm impressed that she found it seeing as how it ISN'T listed on the bby website.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] labbbby:
I actually found the link troug the mobile version while searching for it onmy touchpad.

Champagne was out of stock and there was link for the grey one at the bottom,showed in stock...then checked on XDA and found this thread. This is a BB snafu.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Wow. I ordered from amazon at 3am while taking a **** after it was up for preorder for only an hour on nov 22nd. Got dropped. Orderded at GameStop on dec 2.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Elblonko:
Victory!!!!

At least I hope so. I have been trolling these forums for awhile now waiting for a breakthrough. Best Buy's email says

"Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/27/2011 - 12/27/2011"

Thank you XDA community for your dedication to the cause!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:
weird...ordered my @ 1800 eastern...no estimated delivery, only an approx arrival 12/29 - 1/3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] heavyeyes:
I'm guessing me and the other people with estimated deliveries are on the west coast. sounds like theyre gonna be shipping from fresno
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:
they charged my card, that a good sign..all is well...for now...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Elblonko:
I am on the west coast, but I also shelled out for the next day delivery (30 dollars). I think thats why I have an exact delivery date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
Ordered 2 at 2:30 CST. My BB card has been docked for the amount. Still "in process" on order status. Delivery date is 12/27/11. Hope i don't get an email in the middle of the night apologizing about the misunderstanding & the need to cancel my order. Is there any chance they start deliveries tomorrow?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chocoyo00:
Did you guys notice the delivery date actually shows 12/29/2012 - 01/03/12? not 12/29/2011? Can you guys check yours? something tells me this is another BB error and they're getting cancelled
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:
Mine's is

"Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/27/2011 - 12/27/2011 "
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
To those that are saying this was a special 'link', that isn't exactly correct. While I was notified by the nowinstock.net sight, I went to a browser tab that I had already had opened of the Best Buy Grey 32g prime and just hit 'F5' to refresh... ie it was the same web address all along. All Best Buy did was remove the web pages association from the website.

If Best Buy really did intend this as a way to be just for the champain pre-orders, then what they did was really stupid.

That out of the way, my order status still shows "1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days.", I have no tracking number yet, and I still have the ability to cancel. I ordered at 2:10pm central with regular shipping to Texas. Reading back over the thread with the few responses that tackle the 'why are some past the cancel point and some not' it looks to me like maybe they are approaching this regionally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swallaces:
Some of the links I've found in this forum haven't worked for me to get to the Best Buy order page, but since I ordered a champagne tablet that will slowly make it's way to the void, I had the link from there. Checking in that e-mail, the link in that worked, but being the genius-idiot I am, I canceled my champagne order and switched to the grey one over the phone. When I did this I argued with a CSR to try to get next-day shipping like I should've gotten because if they stuck true to their orders, I would get it on Christmas anyways, but oh well. The CSR confirmed that "(I'd) have the tab on my doorstep on the 27th at the latest." The BB order page seems to confirm that it'll ship tomorrow at the latest, so we can wait and see. But the main thing I should try to get at is that If you try ordering over the phone, there's a good chance your order will get ahead of some other people's, especially if you claim (or actually had) another CSR cancel a champagne pre-order. (One little stipulation is that they request a order number, so if you don't have one, you may be stuck.) Don't abuse that knowledge too heavily. But hey, it's your Christmas.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xscott360:
I don't understand why people are ordering today and getting "shipping in 0-1 days" with estimated delivery dates when I preordered a 32gb Grey on 12/3 and mine has said "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 1 - 2 days." since yesterday afternoon, with no delivery estimate. I haven't gotten an email since the one telling me it was backordered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
So it looks like this is legit. Good to know. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow even though I did not order until around 7:30 or so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lalbcp:
I ordered over the phone in exchange for my champagne order; my confirmation email says:

Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/28/2011 - 12/28/2011

BB website says: Order Status: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days.

Another piece of information: I preordered the champagne on 11/22.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opiate46:
I also ordered on 12/3. Got the "we shipped your stuff" email yesterday. Today it updates and says it will be delivered on 1/3. I'm hoping it takes less time than that, but either way I guess it's still earlier than I expected it to get here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] U Flippin Idiot:
Mine had the cancel button 20 minutes ago now it say in process and cannot be cancelled. Fingers crossed I get a tracking number. Good thing is I wanted the Grey one and cancelled it once because I thought store would get it before free shipping. This time I expedited it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
Mine still has not progressed to that point, still can cancel unfortunately. Really crossing my fingers this shows up tomorrow as processed.

As an aside, if you do a google search or transformer prime and look under 'news' this is being reported, albeit by something less than a major news source:

It’s a Christmas miracle! Well, almost. ASUS’ Transformer Prime Android tablet is now in stock and shipping from Best Buy’s warehouses. As you can see above, the device is expected to ship from Best Buy within a day, just barely missing Christmas. At this time, if you overnight the device you’ll likely be able to get it by Tuesday, December 27th.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Well here we are - another day. My order is still sitting the same way it was yesterday. I still can cancel. No tracking #. Worries me.

Are they working today(saturday)? I hope they process my order today.

Anyone got a tracking # yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
this is what mine originally said

now it just says Order Status: Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days.

Im getting the feeling i've been had, no way this **** is legit, right?

And to think this is all for a tablet thats proving to be a ton of trouble for a lot of folks. I wish i had patience or brains, id wait for the Google tablet

Being that it is Christmas Eve AND a Saturday, I'm going with no.

I guess we'll find out what's up Monday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I don't know why some of you tried to game the system by doing next day or 2-day shipping. You should have just used the FREE standard shipping.

This is the holiday, you're not going to see any movement going on with online orders till after Christmas at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
My status is the same also. But I'm not expecting movement until Monday. Anyone that paid for express service will likely get next day air delivery. But my BB credit card account has been docked the amount of my order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Ordered yesterday at 3:20 pm est, cc charged, cannot cancel the order....no tracking number. Still in process.

If not today, hopefully it'll ship by Tuesday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stinebd:
Expect no movement until Tuesday. The couriers are closed on Monday to observe Christmas holiday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ktulu0421:
Yep...its gonna be a long wait....freaking phone makes it impossible to not keep checking though! Even though I know its not gonna change till Tuesday, monday at the earliest.

Oh well...least i'll have one..eventually.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Ah, yes, but there's the rub, right? Until we have a tracking number and even better notice from the shipper that they've received it, do we really know we have a unit coming from Best Buy? It looks like they might have oversold these units, and so how do any of us know if we'll actually get one?

As far as we know, the reason ours didn't ship yet is because they actually oversold and once again gave units to people who ordered after us. That's what makes this wait so bothersome--wondering if we are actually going to get one from this stock AT ALL, and not knowing until Tuesday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jg10571:
I just placed my order for a 32GB Gray expected delivery 12/29-1/3 Thanks BB...Cancelled my Jand R order...which according to them isn't expected until Mid January...I can't wait.

Anyone paranoid like me? First thing I did was check my email for a cancellation notice lol

Finally got a cant be canceled though :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
went to bed at about 1am last night could still cancel my order, woke up at 8am (pst) and can't cancel my order now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
Still able to cancel order. But not something I would even consider doing at this point. Should i be worried? Ordered yesterday, but I still a have a pre-order at GS in case this doesn't go through. Getting my docks from GS regardless though. Just a difference of 7 days between GS & BB on when I should receive tablets. The sooner the better!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Man, you guys that are getting to the point of not being able cancel are making me nervous. Ordered yesterday at 2:10pm central. Still can cancel mine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Same here, ordered at 2pm yesterday, chose the fastest shipping possible, I am told it will be here the 27th, and here I am still able to cancel.

I called last night and was told if I was able to buy it there was a unit in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Well, mine JUST switched to not being able to cancel.

Best Buy Whopper

I ordered a Gateway Laptop as soon as they went up for Black Friday on the Best Buy website. The order said processing and will ship in 1 day for weeks. I just gave up yesterday and cancelled it. Their system will gladly let you order something that is not in stock.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Don't feel bad on my behalf. I'm not one of the pre-order guys from BB. Just one of the lucky ones to see this one early.

If it does turn out to be lucky, that is. I've yet to see anyone get a tracking number.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Einstein's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. BB clearly has issues. It's been a subject of the national news. With Prime's being so scarce don't you find it unusual that the order link is still active after two days? I just put ten in my cart and it says delivery will be on the 27th with express delivery.

I truly hope this works out for you guys, especially those that have already been burned, but things that seem to good to be true rarely are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I have a sinking suspicion that here's what happened:

1. Best Buy created a page specifically for people who pre-ordered the Champagne model to be able to order a Gray model for immediate delivery.

2. The link was given out publicly (of course), and so hundreds (or thousands?) of people who did NOT pre-order the Champagne model jumped over and ordered the Gray.

3. There were something around 1500 Gray models left after covering Gray pre-orders (got this info in an email from Best Buy corporate). These were supposed to be sufficient to cover the Champagne pre-orders.

4. Best Buy probably had no way of distinguishing in their system who was actually doing the ordering of these "extra" Gray units. They were likely processed in order of when they cleared the system.

5. The page is still up, and still showing stock available. That's highly unlikely, however, and so it was probably set to never run out of stock.

6. Therefore, I'm guessing that many of the people who pre-ordered Champagne and who switched their orders to Gray with assurances that they'd actually get one shipped, actually won't get one. Some people who were not Champagne pre-orders will get one.

7. On Tuesday, many people will get emails apologizing again. Only this time there won't be any leftover stock to fill orders.

I'm pretty much assuming that I won't be getting a Prime from Best Buy, unless I'm very lucky.
