Did you pre-order on 11/22 and get this email?
Hello,
Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:
"ASUS TF201-B1-GR Eee Pad Transformer Prime 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray)"
We've canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. If you see a charge for the canceled item, we will refund you within 1-2 business days.
EDIT: According to emil10001 Asus shipped part of the Amazon order then cancelled the rest causing us to have our pre-orders canceled.
EDIT: Amazon responded:
Hello,
I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, when we contacted our supplier, we found ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-GR 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray) was no longer available. That's why it was canceled from your order--you haven't been charged for it. Once an order is canceled, it no longer appears in your order history.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Until recently we still thought we'd be able to get the item for you.
EDIT 12/16/11: Amazon is now cancelling the sleeve orders.
Yep, me too

Same here damn it!
Yup mine just got cancelled. Re-preordered from Adorama.
EDIT: I had the 32gb at full price
I preordered on the 23rd and have not received a cancellation email from Amazon......yet.

Mine was just cancelled as well...
Quick question. People who got cancelled, did you pay the full 499/599 price, or the discounted 484/584 price?
I ordered mine on 11/22 with the 584 price, and it still shows as "arrive after December 25, 2011"
I paid $493ish. Its weird since the order has totally disappeared from my History.
I dont think they would cancel a bunch of nerds orders over $7... would they?

Full price personally. I'm assuming Amazon isn't getting as many as they initially thought which is why they are canceling many orders. Possibly why they aren't listed on Asus' preorder page as well as why they stopped taking orders before everyone else.
I had the lower price.
Wtf they just cancel my order also, I order on 22nd for $492
i preordered a 64gb amethyst grey for $584.22 on the 11/22, and haven't received any cancellation yet

I wonder if they're getting any at all....
Mine was cancelled, pre ordered for 499.
I pre-ordered at $499 on 11/22. My order has been cancelled as well.
Bright side is I can at least stop fretting over when Amazon is going to ship my order. Haha.
I think it would be ridiculous if they DIDNT. its amazon... something is fishy. But i cant even find my order to contact them about it
I initially had the 64 GB Grey version preordered, earlier. UGH, why did I cancel it.
BTW, mine was the $499 version. My brother preordered it too, at like 7:30 AM EST on the 22nd. Waiting for him to respond whether his was cancelled too.
I ordered regular price on11/22. Canceled. Hope my quick order at adorama works. Lame, Amazon.

Everyones orders whose has been canceled are removed from their history. You can reference your original email or the one they sent stating it was canceled. Again I suspsect they aren't receiving a whole lot of initial shipment and probably decided it best to let people re-order on a first come first serve basis once they do. Hence why they stopped taking orders and their product pages aren't even visible without originally having the url.
Ouch! Guess supply will be short this season...

Fellow Canadians!
Other than best buy, futureshop and Staples, are there any other pre order sites?
I have a champagne transformer pre ordered from staples, as they were the only local retailer that had that color code for pre-order, however I noticed that they have pulled that sku from their website entirely. Not sure what that means but when I called Staples to find out they said that it was a possibility that only a certain number of that color code were available.
I did ask about estimated shipping and the rep had told me it is still slated of the week of Dec 12. So hopefully everything goes through without a hitch.
Has anyone else had this issue at all?
The only two other two places I know you can preorder is ncix.com and memoryexpress.com. Both of those places have the champagne version as well which is why I ordered mine from memory express.
I am just hoping mine gets in before the 21st because I ordered mine in calgary and won't be flying there until the 21st (figured I would save some taxes and not ruin my finals studying with a new toy!).
My last email from Best Buy Canada said the release date was Dec 5, but other than that, no word. I wonder if we are really getting it early here in Canada vs. the US.
Is it just me or are there NO 64gb pre-orders anywhere in Canada? Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, ect. No one has a 64gb up for pre-order! I'd rather pick it up than get it shipped, btw.

Memory express and NCIX have 64gig versions. Although the fact those other big guys don't have it doesn't leave me with confidence that those two will actually be getting them at the same time as the 32gig versions. I am even a bit scared my champagne unit will be late as well since its just those 2 that have it.
Memory Express had 64GB TFs available for preorder in both grey and gold, last time I checked.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Would have like to have ordered from Futureshop but they don't deliver in Quebec because of language laws so I ordered from NCIX. I ordered the original TF from them and got it the second week it came out. Another bonus is I only pay GST and shipping is fairly reasonable. I also ordered from Amazon.ca but I have a feeling I wont get it this month. I'll be canceling the other order once the first one comes in.
Sorry if this is already known but I just got a call from MemoryExpress in Edmonton, AB to change my pre-order because they claim to have received an e-mail from ASUS Canada stating that the only model available in Canada will be the 32GB Amethyst Gray. I asked for confirmation that that would mean NO 64GB and NO gold colour whatsoever and the sales associate said that is what the e-mail said. I asked about any release date info and they said the tablet would arrive in "the next couple weeks" but the dock would be "3-4 weeks away." Take that with a grain of salt though as I don't believe the release date info came directly from ASUS.

dang. I emailed them to ask about it and they emailed back saying they have some info and if I could call them which I figure is bad news. I had an order for champagne gold and mentioned in this thread how I was worried it wouldn't be coming. I gave them my number so we will see if they call me and what they say.
I just pre ordered mine from Amazon.ca says Dec 16th
Well memory express called and said that the only unit they will be getting in is the 32gig grey and the dock. Said that asus said they guess that the champagne gold version will be released sometime in February. Pretty disappointed as I was really starting to like the look of the gold! Ah well as long as they actually get them in around christmas!
Appreciated that they took the time to call me about the order though, the guy at memory express was nice and explained how pissed they were at asus.
I just did NCIX in Vancouver.. no date.. but better then Amazon.ca dating it AFTER jan 31st...
BestBuy Canada Release Date
BB Canada is showing my pre-order with a December 22nd release date.
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
In the GTA here... Online shows bestbuy, staples and even futureshop not having any stock!
First off I really would have liked to buy it in store instead of online. Do you think there is a chance that any store would have this available before Xmas (in store that is)?
"So what you want me do 'bout that?"
Yeah mine is all over the place too:
Shipment 1
Scheduled forGround Delivery
Estimated Arrival: 11/26-12/09/2011
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
Weird.. who knows.. I lost my amazon order so I just would like to get one. haha
Anyone know when it will be available in stores?
December or January stick with thos months and you will be fine
No 64GB... This just sucks. No wonder Best Buy wasn't getting back to me on when they'd be getting that model. REALLY disappointed.
My future shop order has changed from release date on the 5th of December to the 22nd of December today. Was anyone else able to choose any other shipping method other than regular old ground? doesn't look too promising to get it before christmas.
I have an order for the 64 GB Prime (Gray) at Amazon and have not received the cancellation notification yet.
However, just to be on the safe side, I also pre-ordered from J&R.
Well, just about 5 minutes ago, J&R called me and told me that the 64 GB (Gray) will not be shipped out until January 2012 due to Asus suspending the shipment.
How is it that I keep reading on here that Gamestop would have it available on December 19 ? Why is it that Asus suspend the Prime on some store and not on others? Strange.

This seems to be the same thing that happened to the Amazon preorders.
None of the "official" ASUS preorder sites took orders on the 64GB version... I'm wondering if I just shouldn't expect this until mid-January. No date in December for a 64GB version seem to be panning out...

Given that Gamestop is listed as an official preorder destination on Asus' website, and J&R is not, I don't find this all that surprising. There is almost certainly an extra middleman distributor supplying stores like J&R, Adorama, and some of the other sites folks have found to order one, but Asus' commitment is to their official preorder outlets, and making sure they have enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
I haven't received a call from J&R yet, but I figure I will. When did you order yours Earthbrain?
This seems to be the trend. Newegg still seems to be on track, as is gamestop. ASUS is funneling the supply into a more focused retail base, and seems to staying true to their main channel partners.
Certainly no doubt at this point that there is a huge shortage of this thing...what concerns me is that there was such a huge initial preorder allocation, and it isn't that they are running out of preorder slots, it's that the stock just isn't appearing in the supply chain...which in the industry usually means a manufacturing issue.
That is of course unless ASUS just grossly underestimated the demand.

Crap. I ordered mine on Sunday, and I got the 32GB flavor which you would think would be in even shorter supply. I guess I'll call them today.
So weird that it seems like my Gamestop preorder is going to be the one that holds up at this point.
I placed my order a while ago and got the "backordered" email, but that was explained to me that they must send it if the unit isn't available or a special pre-order. I was told it's still on target for the 15th as they hadn't received new info.

I'm not sure this forum and those placing pre-orders is a good indicator for demand. The technophiles here may only represent a tiny percentage of the population. I think we'll find out when they hit Amazon or Newegg if they remain in stock.

I'm skeptical of the huge demand as well. I live in a small twin city situation with about 200,000 people within 2 towns 20 miles apart. Between the two Gamestops in my area that sell tablets (there are 3 or 4 GS's per town) there have only been two preorders. Total. Me and one other guy. I will be interested to see the initial sales numbers on this device. I think overall, to the general public, Android tablets have a bad(cheap) name. At the GS in the town neighboring mine the manager said they are about to quit carrying tablets all together due to low demand.
Don't get me wrong though. I think this tablet should be creating some demand and likely will once more normal people see it. I have just not been convinced of it's huge preorder demand as of yet.

They don't really seem to know and in fact got their colors wrong on initial pre-orders. Anyway, they claim they are a big retailer and that's true so they expect first availability. I think it is encouraging that they were told a date by Asus for their in stock date.

When my order got canceled on amazon, same day as everyone and I ordered on the 22nd also, I came and order at JR that evening using google checkout. They still haven't called me saying they've canceled. Any chance I'm going to get a 32gb champagne gold? Should I call them and check the date? I don't have much faith in this order.
Yesterday, I put in a preorder at a gamestop location. They say that they are one of the location receiving the prime and I was the first one to preorder at that location. They said that they didn't have any in stock yesterday but expecting to arrive before 19th. I think they only have the 32gb grey. I'll settle for that if I have to. Would like to get what I wanted from JR to avoid tax also, but not getting a good feeling. I've got so many stuff canceled on me this holiday I'm getting pissed.
Any good news from anyone out there. You guys been told of the date that it will be available or something that's not canceled?
My guess is that the general public don't really know or care too much about this, it's not like an apple product or anything. Yet, I'm surprise that asus still fail to supply again.

Just to reiterate what others have said, I called J&R to verify my preorder today and was told that they wouldn't receive any units until sometime early next year. I originally pre-ordered on Sunday the 4th, but it sounds like they won't get any stock until the new year, no matter when you got your order in.
I had two separate preorders for tablet & dock, and cancelled them both.

If it's important to you, I would hedge my bets and get in the car. The guy I spoke with made it sound as if the Primes in general wouldn't show up until the new year, not that my Prime wouldn't show up until then.
Can't hurt to hang on to your preorder, but I don't think you should count on it at this point.
Freaking amazon just emailed me and said that I can preorder the prime again tonight midnight pst. At first I thought it was for ordering...but it said pre-order. No telling when I'm going to get that ****. After they screw me over....Would I still check it out....damn it...I would. I'm desperate right now. Gamestop better have that **** tomorrow. Oh and they said sorry and would give a 10$ gift in a few days or so for my cancelation. Hell I already got 30 bucks from them, 10 more would be nice.
same here got the same email, i also notice that the 64gb gold is also available to preorder
same deal, except I actually cancelled my preorder deliberately the first time. but I've had a change of heart so I'm back on with the preorder. this time I'm getting the gold/champagne color.. I didn't realize the amethyst was so purple..
Just looked again after ordering and shows out of stock.
Like I said, must just be for we cancelled folks.
And I am betting we get it in a day. Hopefully Tuesday.
I posted this in the other amazon thread:

If you don't get your gamestop orders by today, or the latest 23 then cancel it. No point in paying TAX for it when amazon has no tax. Unless you live in california I suppose.

Well, I'm pretty sure the CSR is wrong here. February is far-fetched I would think. I also placed an order last night for the 32GB Grey, hoping that either Amazon or Best Buy will get me one soon, as this was supposed to be a Christmas present for my parents.

Hard to get more, when you hadn't gotten any 32gb gray yet. Those are the ones that were canceled, and now allowed to re-pre-order.
They are admitting to screwing up: "We wanted to let you know your order for Transformer TF201-B1-GR (10.1-Inch Screen) Tablet was inadvertently canceled by our system. We're very sorry about this. "
Bring me the head of the one who inadvertently canceled our orders, yea verily.
Btw, check your original order number (from Nov 22/23), and you'll notice that it's the same order number from this morning - if you re-re-re-pre-ordered...
Just got finished with CSR:
Could you please give me an estimated date of when you may be able to ship this item? I would very much appreciate your help.
Amazon.com order number: XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX
I understand the item is in high demand currently. I was just really hoping for some type of information.
Ranndy:Hi Xxxxx. I'll be happy to help you with this order
Me:thank you Ranndy
Ranndy:Yes, it has a high demand and it is currently out of stock unfortunately. Please bear with me a second, I'll try to get further information
Me: ok, thank you
Ranndy:Thanks for waiting, almost done
Me:thank you for looking further into this for me
Ranndy:You're very welcome
According to our supplier, we're scheduled to get more on December the 30th, Xxxxx.
Then we said bye. So, I don't if this helps, but he was not typing for about 5 minutes at one point, which I guess indicates he was actually looking, he then said almost done, and I waited about another 4 minutes for his response.

So I do have two different order numbers and I re-pre-ordered the same 32GB gray one...
Amazon know they got screwed by asus.
they're putting the money where their mouth is by offering free overnight.
Asus is oddly silent about this whole thing.

ASUS isn't silent at all. Here's what they said to Engadget:
ASUS started filling the inventory pipelines this past week for our new Eee Pad Transformer Prime and will continue to do so on an expedited basis for the foreseeable future. We will reach normal inventory levels in January for the North American market based on current orders and forecasts. Based on forecasted supply schedules to our valued partners we expect pre-order allocation fulfillment to occur shortly and online or in-store availability in the very near future. We will continue to work closely with our partners to fill customer orders as quickly as possible.

Dunno how reliable the retailer is, order at your own risk.

32gb is 499, 64gb 599
Well I went for it, placed my order and called immediately. The girl told me that they are going extremely quick but reassured me that as long as I got an order number that my tablet will ship out tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
edit: I'm holding on to my Amazon preorder just in case lol

But apparently this store is offering them for $449 (32GB version)
Must already be gone, 'cause I'm not finding any there.

Ordered aswel, where did you get the order number though? I only got a paypal confirmation.
Actually they're showing 3 in stock on Amazon for Electronic Express but the price is $575 + $19.95 shipping. Clearly way over priced.

I used Amazon checkout and got an email instantly with an order number. Their Amazon ratings are actually quite high, which makes me feel better. The CSR did say that they were going extremely fast and when I just checked their page it doesn't come up anymore, so I think I may be good!

Subtotal $449.99 USD

Certainly can't complain on the price. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but expectations are not particularly high.
I can say that I just checked my credit card and it has got an authorization on there for AMAZON MKTPLACE PMTS.
Has anyone heard any thing about their status.

If its a legit retail store I dont think you got scammed. They're probably just unorganized. Just like the Fry's in California. I love that store but I cant trust them to get my orders straight.
I ordered immediately after seeing this post yesterday and chose the google checkout option. I received a Google order number but not an Electronics Express one immediately.
This morning, I called them to check if by some 'Christmas Miracle' I was lucky enough to order on time. They couldn't look my order up by number, so they asked the model number. My heart sank when he came back and said, " I'm very sorry sir, but it looks like we will be cancelling this order, we had more than 79 orders come in immediately and don't have that many in stock yada yada and so on."
So I replied, "Ok please cancel my order then."
He then said, "We will automatically sir, and we will send you an email to notify you when we do."
I already have a pre-order in at amazon from when they re-opened ordering on Monday, so I was expecting to have to wait 'till late Jan when I received this this evening:
Hello
Great news! Your order has shipped, and should arrive soon. Your credit card has successfully been charged for this order. Track FedEx package #50369xxxxxxx
Order date: Dec 20, 2011 5:58 PM MST
Google order number: 20879xxxxxxxxxx - ElectronicExpress.com Order #722911-01
Shipping Status Qty Item Price
Shipped 1 TF201B1CG - Asus Transformer Prime 10.1" 32GB Android Tablet $449.99
FedEx #50369xxxxxxx
Tracking says it will arrive on the 23rd.
Unfortunately for me though, I had my google checkout address set to my old house (moved across town in July), so I'll have to figure out how to reroute it or hold it.
So, I got lucky for once, Hope you all got in on time as well.
Yep. My tracking number from EE/Fed-Ex says 12/23.
I have an EE order number, but it says processing on their website. The funds are on hold in my bank account, so I'm hoping that they're just waiting for it to clear before shipping. I used amazon checkout btw.
edit: I literally just received a shipping notice! halle-****ing-lujah!
I thought Newegg was a big Asus dealer? Way it sounds, I am assuming not.
I have been told that they were receiving shipments on December 27 for pre-orders. Then it was pushed to today. Now I am being told that within the next two business weeks, they will be receiving confirmation of when they will receive more.
I guess on the bright side, no one else is getting them either, but doesn't sound like NE got that many to begin with.
Today mine got to the office depot warehouse after ordering on the 20th. 1/5 delivery date. I had been checking up on new egg as well and they never have any updates.

They still haven't shipped the Grey ones that said 12/27???
That really sucks... I'm glad I canceled and was able to get the champagne one through them

According to them for circumstances beyond their control, they never got them. They will know within 2 weeks when they supposed to get more.
The only reason I am sticking with Newegg is I have a $300 and some change credit.
I might the bullet and pre-order somewhere else and play the waiting game
Newegg is so clueless!
Preordered the Prime on 12/07, 32G Grey.
Was first told Dec 27, they would have some to ship for preorders. Was then told January 3.
I called them today and was told that they will have confirmation of receiving more within next two weeks.
Hung up the phone and went to Newegg less than 5 minutes after my call and low and behold the 32G grey and champagne was in stock ready to order. And they had a limited offer of a free Asus Carrying case as well.
Ordered and have been charged and is currently in packaging status.
I am pissed because the preorder people have been hung out to dry. Should not be able to just go to site and order if preorders have not been fulfilled.
Did anyone else get a free carrying case as well? My order doesn't show it, but it was there and I will raise hell if I don't get it after what we have been through.
Couldn't post this in the newegg thread?
I hate being this guy but come on
