For warranty purposes, will the Asus warranty be honoured in the UK?

I don't recommend order from Amazon.de

I order from Amazon.de 07/07/2012 this tablet that is in stock since 06/07/2012, they all delaying every day the shipping.

The expected date to ship was 09/07/2012.. I already email them and nothing, Just a auto email saying We will "sending soon".

Today they change the expected date to day 24/07/2012...

I try to cancel this order today but don't let me cancel it gives an error saying "can not be canceled".. Amazon is allready blocking my money in bank since 08/07/2012 before the shipping..

I don't recommend order from Amazon.de
[Asus Transformer TF700] netzkind:
Please clarify which item you ordered, specifically.

Being from Germany (with free next-day-delivery and all) i order all kinds of stuff from them, about two orders per week. I have never experienced problems like the ones described by you.

I also pre-ordered a TF700T (can't remember which color, with dock, 64 GB) on June 30th. It was sent on July 3rd. To make it more complicated, i even returned it on July 6th and received my money back right after that weekend on July 9th.

The reason i returned it (without even opening the box) was that i changed my mind on wanting the internation keyboard layout.

Anyways, amazon.de is pretty much the biggest online store in Germany, and if they do not send out the orders it's simply because they do not have the items in stock (and probably said so when you placed your order). Believe me or not, they are pretty damn sure first in line to be provided with supplies by Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
Is this likely to be sold in the UK without the dock...?

I'm interested, but probably wouldn't use the keyboard so would be happy to buy just the tablet at a cheaper price. All other Transformers seem to have only been sold here with the keyboard included though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marcomsousa:
I order the TF700T without dock 64 GB gold. They say that was in stock, change the status of order to "Shipping soon" (so allready packaged), but they don't send me.. and one week later they delay 5 days. And don't let me cancel the order.. They have my money blocked, i can't buy it in another web page.

Can you say one webstore that delay one week yours order, and don't let you cancel your order?
[Asus Transformer TF700] netzkind:
@marcomsousa: I see.

amazon.de is also a market-place where other companies can offer and sell their products via the amazon.de-website. Amazon.de does the payment-process for them, but the other company is responsible for shipping etc.

I've just now checked, and amazon.de does say the product you specified is not in stock. Another seller, Easynotebooks, however offers the same product via amazon.de and says they have it in stock. The big green "Auf Lager" (in stock) on the website refers to easynotebooks in that case, as it's "the best available offer". Sometimes that's not easy to spot, and further so if it's not your mother tongue :(

Are you sure you placed the order with Amazon as seller, or was it placed with a third-party?

Are you sure that Amazon said they themselves had the item in stock?

If you placed the order via amazon with a third party, that might be the reason why amazon.de says they can't cancel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marcomsousa:
I order from amazon, not with third-party!! At the time tablet are in stock! Say "Shipping soon" since 08/07/2012.

[Asus Transformer TF700] rwniel:
According to Asus on their UK facebook page, the UK will only officially be getting a single configuration; the 64GB model bundled with the keyboard dock. You could eBay the keyboard dock though if you don't need it as there was a market for the dock for those who were buying various earlier transformer models from abroad. Especially as the keyboard dock in the UK was effectively subsidised down to £50 as part of a bundle.

glad you found it now mate, its been on pre order with amazon.co.uk a few days now and thought it was weird no one had commented on it, ive held back so far as like people have said its still a wait till aug, and may find other companies offering it cheaper than £599

this is the link ive been keeping an eye on ..

http://www.nowinstock.net/uk/computers/tablets/asus/tf700/
[Asus Transformer TF700] Beards:
Thanks for the link mate. I'll use it well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leedrummond:
just been chatting to Amazon uk support, and they can give no indication on release of the tablet from their end.

And Pre order price guarantee does not apply to this product, so if its spotted elsewhere cheaper then you would have to cancel the order before its status changes to "dispatch" to be not charged.

Dont know what to do myself, jump in now and join the que, or hang on longer closer to Aug with the chance of missing the first shipment on release day ... Decisions...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Beards:
Well I had all this before with Amazon when I was looking to get what is now my current TF201.

Amazon had the same story back then so it does not come as any surprise.

I had the TF101 at the time; I wasn't too bothered so hung on til the last minute and let the first Prime's go out to the pre-orders.... which considering the problems found in those initial serials it ended up being better to wait.

As I currently have a good TF201 I will keep the link you provided as it is a good source for tracking who has what but will wait til the end of August before placing any pre-order.

Best of luck in what you decide...... which I think you may need it if ASUS play the same game as they did with the TF201 :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
I'm still keeping an eye out for the I/O issues. Hopefully it's software based so can be fixed easily.

Follow-up:

Was sent out on July 12th, received it on July 14th. Same Keyboard as shown by DubTech in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28505774&postcount=26

I'm happy with that.

I received an answer from komplett.nl about 10 days after my inquiry: delivery to netherlands and belgium only.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
Did it!

I placed my order with Amazon.co.uk - Champagne Gold for £599 with free expedited delivery with Amazon Prime.

My reasoning being:

I have an order in place for release day.

£599 is what I've been expecting to pay all along - last February I was ok with paying that for the 32GB version when ASUS announced it would be $100 (+ROB tax) more than the Prime.

If it's significantly cheaper anywhere else I'll cancel and order there but I doubt it will be considering the demand ASUS is expecting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
Nowhere else seems to have the 64GB Grey with Dock on pre-order :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
I'm sure others will join the bandwagon over the next few days. Clove.co.uk have already told me that they will be stocking it but don't know when. I'm almost certain that Dixons Group will be too as they seem to be ASUS's usual release partners in the UK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
August seems so far away. Been tempted to import it from abroad, but am worried about warranty :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] mezzyg:
International warranty mate,
[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
Though it is an international warranty, if you have a problem you will still have to deal with the original supplier in whatever country they're in (and ship it back there for replacement) or deal with ASUS UK who will likely not support the product directly until it is launched in the UK in August - probably just acting as a conduit to the office in the country of purchase. If you order the dock from abroad and have unrepairable issues with it you could have some difficulty getting a replacement in the UK as a foreign dock (keyboard layout) will not be kept in stock at the UK distributor. You could have a fight on your hands to get them to give you a UK dock as a replacement - a replacement would most likely have to go on special order.

Just go in with your eyes open.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rittzy:
I wonder when they will be released in Ireland? I may drive down to komplett and get one, depending which models they have in stock! Hopefully they have some local shop in Ireland with them instead of driving the whole way to Dublin!

I receive yesterday the Infinity from amazon.de
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
I've been waiting for my Amazon.de order to progress since Sunday, and I've now been told that the tablet is on it's way to me.

This is odd, though - I was notified by Amazon after 10pm last night that the tablet had been dispatched & my card debited, but the tablet is due to be delivered today.

Looking at the tracking info that they've given me (it's being delivered by City Link), it seems that the delivery has originated from Milton Keynes & not Germany.

This means that Amazon must have stocks of this tablet in the UK. Not only that, but also that they're prepared to send the tablet on it's own (I haven't ordered a dock) rather than the bundle package which is supposedly the only way that this tablet is due to be sold in the UK!

I wonder if it'll have a UK or Euro plug? That could give a good idea of what it's target market is supposed to be...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
How are you guys offering from Amazon.de? I seemed to need a German address to do so. (I speak about 6 words of German and the Google translate never seems to want to do the whole site)

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
If you use 'Chrome' as your browser, it will automatically translate the whole site to English...

I just ordered through them as I would the UK site - used the same email & password to login to my account, and it had all my previous delivery & payment details in the system. (This is the first time I've ordered from the German site...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mezzyg:

Tracking info is incorrect as it shows the wrong day, it is sent from amazon Germany not from Milton keynes,

And you get a euro charger
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
Ok, that clears that one up...

What do you mean "Tracking info is incorrect as it shows the wrong day"...?

Do you mean it shows the wrong sending date, or wrong delivery date? Hopefully sending, as mine's showing for delivery due today!
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
Amazon.de doesn't have it in stock anymore, only other companies selling through Amazon, and they will only ship to Germany. You can see which seller is listed after "Verkauf und Versand durch" ("Sold by and ships from"). If it says Amazon.de, they will (in most cases) ship outside Germany. For the other sellers that I have seen, lower down on the page it says "Versand: Dieser Artikel wird, wenn er von Amazon verkauft und versandt wird, nur in folgende Länder versandt: Deutschland" ("Shipping: This item, when bought from Amazon, can only ship to the following countries: Germany").

I ordered from Amazon.de (to Sweden) the 14th, and it's out for delivery with UPS today (sitting at home waiting). :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
I'm afraid Komplett are an online only retailer. They keep a very limited stock at their pick-up point in some business park in Dublin but nothing as pricey and highly sought after as the Infinity I'm afraid. If they refuse to deliver to NI (strange since they use An Post) you can order it online and collect it from their base in Dublin, a quick call to the sales guys to confirm you'll be collecting even though your address is NI might be a good idea.

Good luck!

Does anyone know of any decent parcel forwarding services from Ireland to England?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
Deliverme.ie provide a UK to Ireland parcel forwarding service, they might offer the reverse if you drop them a mail. Their base is just over the border in Northern Ireland so there's every chance they have an address in the Republic too. As I said earlier in the thread if you're considering ordering from Komplett.ie they use An Post (Irish postal service) for deliveries, An Post charge the same rates for posting to NI as Rep of Ireland so I don't see why Komplett would have a problem with a NI delivery address.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
I think my credit card address has to be in Ireland as well... this isn't going to work :(

Cheers but I wanted mine with UK keyboard and UK tablet. Ive got a desire hd now and it originated in spain. Although I can change it to UK language so many things appear as default in Spanish settings and so frustrating so didn't want the same to happen in german on my infinity lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
I'll live with having to change language to english until i can flash a fully UK rom, and i ordered tablet only, will get tf201 or tf700 keyboard here, when the tablet comes, if i am fully happy with it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] janaa309:
Hello,

I live in the UK and looking to get a TF700 from Amazon.de. I don't need the docking so the keyboard layout is not an issue - looking to get the tablet only version. Does anyone know any issue of importing the German version? i.e. incompatible firmware, changing the default language to UK English, access limitation on Google Play and lack of any application. I already have a TF300 so power supply is not an issue either.

AMJ
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
The German version is the worldwide version (I got one). It asks for language on first boot. :) The only "bad" thing is that the manual and some other text material is German only, the actual tablet and its software is the same. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] janaa309:
Thanks for the update. Are you saying, once you select the language as English on boot, then the tablet is as same as you buy from UK retailers? The user manual is not am issue for me. I have a HTC One X & TF300 so I know my way around with Android.:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
My educated guess would be yes. First of all, I'm in Sweden, and I only got one TF700, so I can't say anything about other retailers. However, there is no UK specific firmware on ASUS's page, the closest is the worldwide one. Also, the dialog asking for language at first boot is in English. ;)

My Infinity from Amazon.de works great with my (nordic) keyboard dock bought in Sweden, anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
All my reading indicates that this is correct yes, and I have ordered from Amazon.de yesterday to UK, for only 7 Euro delivery! Bargain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
Hmm, so tempted to order it now and then the TF201 dock from the UK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] janaa309:
Personally, if I want the TF700 with dock, I would wait. It is only a month to go. Also you will be spending more money on buying the separably. TF700 without dock from Amazon.de with shipping will be around £500 plus you need to spend another £150 for the dock. :cool:

My choice is simple - I don't need the dock and don't want to spend the extra for something I don't need. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
I did a few price checks and the total cost will be around £580 for tablet and dock (bought separately). I don't want to wait a month... that's the point, lol :p
