I don't see updated status from UPS yet, but I ordered Express shipping and mine is coming UPS Ground. I live just outside of LA, and so the only way I could get it next day via UPS Ground is if it's shipping from somewhere close (probably somewhere in California).

So, I think the Fresno, CA warehouse is a good bet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] y2kcamaross:
I don't think anyone has an updated UPS status yet, so I'm not sure where they are shipping from, though if they aren't picked up somewhat soon, the two day expedited shipping probably won't be here til Friday
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think we're in the normal situation for orders that ship today. Usually once we get notification from a retailer that something's shipped, it's in this status until about 8 hours or so later (sometimes less, sometimes more). As long as it's in the shipper's hands by this evening, it'll go out today and we'll get it tomorrow if next-day, the day after if 2-day.

I think some folks expected to get it as early as today, but that was always impossible since UPS was closed yesterday and not taking shipments.

Damn I wish California didnt screw me over with such high tax %. And they wonder why people would rather buy from Online vendors.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rockstatus90:
Got tracking # finally....

Ordered 12/23 at around 6pm...

Standard shipping...status changed to shipped today...

I'm in Bklyn NY, info hasn't shown up in UPS system yet...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajftl:
Mine arrives tomorrow. ..got tracking number ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
still no tracking number still can cancel item and theyve already charged my money... What the heck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I want ups to update my tracking info :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bittercold:
Mine finally shipped but my tracking number is bull. This is probably because it is going to a APO and they used USPS but it is linked to UPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
IIRC they will UPS to the demarcation point (San Fran for APO AP and New York for APO AE) and from there USPS will send it through APO/FPO shipping
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaded-Fan:
My standard shipping order moved to completed status, and ready to ship with a tracking number a couple of hours ago. So they must have completed the expedited, etc orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zandra:
Just recieved BB email...Ready to be shipped.Have a tracking number. Free standard shipping ordered 12/23, 10:06 pm cst.

Edit to add- when checking the status it shows as shipped, with the tracking number.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AnyMal:
Those of you who had packages shipped today and wait impatiently for UPS tracking number to update RELAX

UPS does not update tracking information until the package is keyed in at the origin hub, which usually happens overnight as the packages sorted. Don't expect an update until sometime tomorrow morning.

This friendly PSA was brought to you by a person who just happens to know, and that's all I am allowed to divulge :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fnordchris:
I ordered two (one being shipped to one location and the other being shipped to me) at around midnight on the 24th (eastern time). One cannot be cancelled and the other still says that it is being processed. I believe I got expedited shipping on both and am awaiting for more information about whether or not the orders actually went through (though, if the shipment went out of stock yesterday morning, I can only assume that I'm well within the limit, right?) and will be shipped soon. If I hear nothing by 3:30pm or so, I'll give the customer service number a call/email and see if there are any problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MatthiasMD:
Even if its overnight shipping?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
It's the same system for all packages.

Until the shipper scans the tag with the barcode, it hasn't transferred from the shipper to the freight/parcel service company. All we have right now is the tracking # for reference purposes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] philipito:
I signed up for UPS My Choice a few months back to keep track of my orders. They sent me an email this morning letting me know that the tablet is due for delivery on 12/28 (tomorrow). That is about as much notification as I think any of us will see on our orders until later tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
i just called best buy because my order still says in process... they told me they had none in stock and thats why i dont have tracking info, so i told them that hundreds of people have got tracking numbers, he said no they didnt its not in stock, i said yes they have ive seen them, what is going on!?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ViralCipher:
In case anyone wants to know if they have ordered later than Friday with free shipping and will get shipping notifications today, yes you might because I just did and I ordered on Saturday 12/24 around 9 p.m EST with FREE shipping and i just now got my tracking number :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
I ordered on friday and still have not gotten my tracking number...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
It's personal... Just kidding :D

Good luck and I hope you get a tracking number today!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
i just called best buy again keep in mind that both calls where withing 15 minutes the first time he told me that i will not be getting a tracking number because they are not in stock, then i told him that other people are already getting their tracking numbers. he told me no they arent, but ive seen peoples tracking number... while the second time i called i was transferred to someone else who proceeded to tell me that they are in stock and i will be acquiring a shipping number in my email some time in life couldnt tell me to day or tomorrow or anything. but she did say they are in stock... best buy sucks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
soccerdude when did you place your order?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
friday at 4
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acafaca333:
I placed my order on Friday @ 1800 hours with express shipping to Atlanta and just got my tracking number.

Finally!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbg225:
My condolences and prayers will be with you soccerdude I've been dealing with preorder hell since 11/22 but finally got tracking today.I know how frustrating it is seeing everyone but you get shipping but hopefully yours comes soon mate!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] choidavid:
hopeful?

I ordered mine from BB on the 25th around 7:30 eastern time. The next day I checked my status on BB and said I can no longer cancel my order and it says this in the email "Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/04/2012" and I did the free shipping. So hopefully I can get it by Thursday. A long shot but it is possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Just got off the phone with a csr. Tried to get some money back from my express shipping. Long shot but it almost worked. The reason it didn't work was because I guess ups has until 7 or 9 tonight to get it to me and he was a confident that I would get it today:-). Said I can call tomorrow and get a refund if it doesn't come today:-).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zoukai957:
Hey! Just got my tracking number

I live in jersey

ordered the Prime in Gray

was not a pre-order cancellation

Standard Free Shipping

Ordered 12/23/2011 around 8

Good luck to everyone who hasn't gotten it yet!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
Did you order Champagne or Grey?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Slow Internet:
I placed my order on the 24th at 4pm with standard shipping and my order status has updated with my tracking number! Success!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattjgreen:
Order update

Guys - I ordered on 12/24 in the afternoon.

Standard shipping
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Well i'm not there yet, but FINALLY my order cant be canceled anymore.

1 step at a time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbg225:
I ordered the champagne originally on 11/22 but switched to gray on Friday and that's the one with tracking info
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robnix:
Just got my tracking number as well. Ordered 12/24 at 8:30AM PST, Grey, standard shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Why are you confusing him with facts. Of course overnight shipping is different. They have a separate person on call part time for each person that may order something with overnight. That persons job is to personally go pick up the order and manually put the information in the system then let the retailer know to send the buyer an immediate email
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
Just got off phone with BB csr & I basically got SCREWED! My order can not be canceled anymore but she says that they are back ordered till 1/10/12. So i won't be getting any Tracking # anytime soon if you ask me. I ordered at 2:30 on the 23rd with express shipping & I still got left out. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
That's exactly what I did. Plus if you have a RewardZone card you get another $10 gift card from points. So it comes out to $465 total, assuming free shipping.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Yup. Hoping that since the says its processing the order that it will go out.

And in the mean time, I'm not cancelling my other orders. Have one with Office Depot that remains on backorder despite others getting theirs shipped to them that ordered two days after me and another with Amazon for the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. Remaining cautiously optimistic for now. In any case, whoever gives me a tracking number first keeps the order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
It's odd that the page for Transformer Prime(grey) doesn't show up on Best Buy website if you try to navigate/search from their website. Only the "champagne" shows up as coming soon...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
That's odd indeed. Didn't know that it wasn't showing up in normal searches. I just had the web page already open (I left a lot of tabs open on various sites selling the Prime) and hit 'F5' to refresh. This worries me that this is some sort of a glitch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Somebody also posted the link on slickdeals.net which gets about 100K hits an hour. The thread there already is up to three pages. Hopefully BB was smart enough this time to limit sales to what they actually have in the warehouse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbg225:
Yeah I'll be very concerned if they don't stop taking orders soon....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
From the other BB thread here, it appears it was an unpublished link for people with champagne units to be able to convert their orders to amathyst since BB got a shipment of those. Hopefully it all work out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
whatever that may be, we are officially in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CoolWaters:
So I ordered the Grey just now. I'll return it when my Champagne comes in and BB can suck it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Just pre ordered with BB thanks. Three pre orders in limbo right now.

See who comes thru first.

Anyone have a hard time canceling orders? How about in store pre orders from gamestop, and getting your $50 back.

Thanks

Merry Xmas and good luck!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] etm250r:
google

if you type "best buy tansformer prime" on google it's the first link that comes up; odd that you can find it on google but not their own website.... ordered one delivery date 12/29/-1/03!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
I hope they don't oversell, someone I'm irc added 999 to carry and it was gonna let him go through with it.

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
I hope so too. I preordered at B&H Nov 27. Still backordered.

So I jumped on this BestBuy Deal.

I got arrival date of Dec. 28.

That would be awesome. Even though at BB i have to pay taxes. That adds quit a bit. But who cares - if I just get it on the 28th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] devilsxcrunner15:
Decided to just go for it and place my order. Hopefully BB got themselves straighten out. Has anyone recieved order/tracking numbers yet?

Delivery ETA 12/29-1/3 32GB Amethyst.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Anyone that ordered from BB today get a tracking number yet? My confirmation email shows 2:10pm central and I've yet to get a tracking number. Seems I usually get that much faster in general but I can't remember if I've ever ordered from BB online before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] etm250r:
just noticed something in my order confirmation "Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/03/2012" .....12/29/TWELVE????? that's odd....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Nope, no tracking #. My conf Email is from 4:12 pm. But so far nothing. I'm still keeping my preorder with B&H for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Damn thats a long wait lol.You sure you didn't just order the Upcoming Transformer 3? I'm sure it's a typo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dhonzik:
Just ordered mine with an estimated delivery date of 12/28-12/28. I also ordered the Dock from BLT (Bottom Line Telecommunications, ETA 1/5) for $119.03, but with 2 day shipping brings it up to $149.88. I also have an order with J&R that I will cancel when the tablet arrives on 12/28. I hope this is for real since I would like to take it with me to China on 1/18.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
Does anyone have a working link to the amethyst dock on the BB site?

I went ahead and cancelled my champagne and the dock for now. Might swap when the gold ones come in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] generositus:
Woke up this morning to a tracking number and completed order status! So far the UPS tracking number doesn't have any info, but at least I have one.

I was originally a Champagne pre-order and "switched" my order to a Gray model(original order cancelled, fresh order put in, thank god I pre ordered :rolleyes:). I switched the day that they sent out the e-mail about the Champagne being on the mysterious indefinite backorder. I switched a few hours after the e-mail was sent and spent near an hour on the phone with CSRs.

I'm one of the free shipping people, but boy do I wish I wouldn't have hassled them enough to upgrade me.

Nightmare near over? Hope so, now if I can just get a damn dock!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newtybar:
ugh I should have just bit the bullet and did it on 12/23...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
thanks I forgot, been a long time since i was at burtonsville.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

call back and get another csr. The only reason for not being able to cancel is processing for shipping, click on the why? under the cannot be cancelled button. Either yours will be processed soon or they have to cancel on request.

If any of this is not the case it is because BB has been choosing some people and just picking with/on them

Just joking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
If this was really the case, I'd call my credit card and tell them to reverse the charges. I think there's going to be some others pop here or there before then and they really should allow you to cancel if it's backordered until the 10th.

But like prior poster said, I'd be surprised if that was really the case. Call and talk to another CSR.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
Is there a chance that she was just looking the product up & saw that it is backordered, not actually looking at a backorder status on my order?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I think i will call back. I'll let you guys know. Thanks

EDIT: Just got EMAIL!! I NEED A BEER
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
I called BB to ask about the status of my order about an hour ago (from late Sat) and was told that they are backorded and to expect a shipment within a week or so. I got $30 waived for express shipping, then just 5 min ago I got an email with UPS tracking number! The CSRs have no clue, they are just reading what's on the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] T33H00:
wait, wait and wait!

Im so frustrated now....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Semantics:
I ordered mine on the 24th, CC was charged and it was set to be delivered either tomorrow or thursday. I cancelled my order so a lucky person will move up in the queue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyberguest:
holy sh!t, this is real

just got tracking number at 4:30pm est

ordered 12/24 12:30pm est, 32gb grey, free shipping
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techronico:
Just got tracking info. Qty 2 of the 32 grey. Next day shipping. Will update when it arrives.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
This is nuts! I'm also in AZ but ordered nearly 2 hours ahead of you and payed for express. And nothing. Order still cancellable.

From what I remember, there is a poster in the Seattle area who ordered expedited on the 24th, and got a tracking # earlier in the day yesterday.

I really can't make any sense out of their fulfillment and logistics decisions so far. If this is how they run their online orders, then perhaps they should stick to brick and mortar. At least that way, out would actually be first come, first serve. /rant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
My UPS order status changed from shipping label to Origin UPS Fresno delivery between 12:00 and 16:00 12/28.

No wait, just my magination :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AnyMal:
Ordered 12/25 around noon with free shipping, just got my shipping notice :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fnordchris:
First order shipped today, just got the tracking number at 3:47 pm (EST). My other order (the one that is mine) hasn't even moved to "unable to cancel." I guess I'm about to call a CSR and see what's up (especially since they've charged money from the account). I find it hilarious that the later order shipped first and that the earlier order hasn't.

Which leads me to think that they're doing these by random.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] insalubrious:
I swear if you guys got it before the backordered ones, I'm gonna cancel mine and hire an assassin instead >.< pffft
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I'm just glad I stayed tuned to this site and was at the right place at the right time.

All the stars aligned on Friday 12/23 :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
So for online orders, when is the end of the 14 days for tablet returns? Do they look at the delivery date of the online order and 14 days from that day?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diecast17:
Just got my tracking number and I ordered on the 24th about 1 PM!!!!

I am so excited!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
I ordered mine on the 26th ~2 AM and I just got a shipping label. Free shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
Tracking # works now:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

looks like i'm getting mine before the back-ordered ones... best be sending that assassin to best buy/asus..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Elblonko:
wow people are still getting confirmations this late in the day *Holds on to his tiny ray of hope*
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
i feel for you dude, still havent gotten mine :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Me neither. It is 4:38pm at WestCost.

They work till 5 so another 22 minutes.

I was told by a CSR my prime was scheduled to leave today, but so far only my status changed to not able to cancel, but no tracking# or email.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aluminous:
UPS link was just updated. Same 'label printed' message, also confirms that EXPEDITED = 2nd Day, so it looks like I'll be getting a shipping refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
a refund for what? You already got higher priority for processing your order. You just had to work with a nasty holiday weekend that includes Monday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] devilsxcrunner15:
Finally, "Shipping label has been printed" It's like music to my ears.

Ordered: 12/23/2011

Shipping: Free

TP Color: Amethyst Grey

Myself: Happy Camper

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
Has anybodies package been legitimately shipped? like ups has picked up your package and its on your way to your house and you can track it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
This is fubared. Totally fubared. It makes no sense at all.

I am a champagne pre-order replaced with grey order on 12/23 at 5:30 cst. Expedited shipping compliments of BB.

email - 12/23/11 5:23 pm: Order date: 12/23/2011, Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/27/2011 - 12/27/2011

email - 12/26/11 12:37 pm: "We have processed the item below and it is ready to leave our warehouse. Your method of payment has been charged" Status Shipped on 12/26/2011 via UPS (received tracking #)

12/26/11 afternoon - UPS tracking number showed they had been notified to expected receipt of my item

12/26/11 evening - Ups tracking shows "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE!

These tracking numbers don't mean any more than our pre-orders did. The BB email that says it is "ready to leave the warehouse" apparently does not mean it is actually going to leave the warehouse :rolleyes:

I called BB at least 6 times today. I got disconnected 3 of those times. Literally dropped while I was on hold with CSRs while they were trying to figure this out (also calling about my dock). I do not express anger towards CSRs, it is not their fault. My order was placed on Friday. For it to get to me today, it needed to leave the warehouse on Saturday. It did not. And it still has not left a warehouse. The last CSR I talked to said as much and I asked her to please note my account. She looked into it, and as far as she could tell....there is no movement, the tracking number is not attached to an actual item, and nothing has left the warehouse.

When a tracking number doesn't mean anything then the system is seriously flawed. Fubared I tell you.

Yet not nearly as fubared as the docks. I don't even know where to begin with the docks. The CSR asked her Supervisor who said none were coming from the manufacturer at all. That, um...that can't be right
