Best Buy Pre-Orders Only. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

It's now the 8th of December. I am curious to everybody who had a pre-order from best buy, does yours still say 12/18/2011 sa the release date and also, does it say "in process"?
Have any of you spoken with Best Buy in the last day or so? I spoke to someone on Monday night and they said as far as they can tell, I am good to go.

Ordered Dec 2 after Amazon cancelled my order. Best Buy still shows 12/18/2011.

posted this in the other thread:
i just found out today that the place a "hold" on your debit card every 8 days, despite what the email says about not being charged until the item shipped.
I ordered on 11/25 and was charged $531 twice since then. Caused a bunch of stuff to bounce and caused me to be charged over 200 bucks in overdraft fees. If I'd have known this was going to happen, I could've moved some money around to cover. My fault for not checking, I guess, but I was some pissed.
When I called the other day (the 2nd time I was charged), she said it was because it was in the warehouse and shipping was imminent. When that charge was removed (like the first one; this is when I found out they do it every 8 days) I called back. Today, the supervisor I spoke with said I should just cancel my order, as the SKU is no longer in the system and orders will be canceled. I told her not to touch it, as I wasn't trusting anything anyone was telling me.
I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing, but can't cancel b/c this is what the old lady wants for Xmas. We'll see, I guess.
p.s., I ordered the champagne one.

Bought mine on the 26th and I have the same "In Progress" and 12-18-2011 date.

---

Ordered on 11/3 and still shows 12/18 in process.

---

My temp charge was removed today and BB CSR told me they have no information on availability, other than the stated 12/18/11 release date.

---

Mine says same ...
Order date 12/4, Release 12/18 (that's different from ship date), champagne tablet only.

---

try searching the sku for the champagne one on BB website. It's gone. silver one is there still (i think).

The supervisor said that, huh? I think I'll call again just to see if I can get anymore information.

Ordered 32g Grey on 11/28 and still showing "In-Process" with a release date of 12/18.
When I called Best Buy a couple of days ago, they said that I should expect mine to be shipped so that I have it by 12/18 (not sure how they would do that since 12/18 is a Sunday). Here's hoping that I have it on 12/16 or 12/19 at worst. I also paid for next day shipping.

---

Ordered 32GB champagne and dock on 12/1. Mine still says 12/18 for TFP and 12/31 for dock.

---

Mine is the same, ordered a 32gb Champagne 11-29. My dock ordered the same time shows 12-31.

---

Ordered on 12/2, still shows release date of 12/18. (edit: it's for a 32gig gray model)
I also PMed a member of these forums who works for BB and he looked up my order number and said it lists the "fulfillment date" of 12/13 which he took to mean it should be in my hands on that day (although I'm taking it to mean they'll ship on 12/13)... so we'll see. I at least feel confident that it won't be cancelled.

Best Buy is making me crazy (and poor)
I got beat at Amazon with a Prime IN MY CART on the 23rd. I let it sit for an hour, knowing my debit card might take the full hit if I hit "Purchase" When I finally hit the button, it was too late. Went from "Pre-order" to "We will email you" Best thing ever happened to me. 1st: My Prime was a 32 gb Amethyst Grey: same model that was on all those cancellations. Who know if I would have got hit. AND: I complained in a series of escalating emails, and got: $100 credit toward anything Amazon sells and ships instead of the $20-30 most folks got. HA!
Went to BestBuy, next biggest retailer, right after the pre-order link went back up (was down on December 1st for half a day- said "Not Available" Pulled the trigger Dec 2nd - Tablet only (figured I'd get Dock at Amazon when stock came back, using my credit. When BB debited my account in 15 seconds (I had my bank account open in another tab) I panicked and canceled the order. Then freaked again, when I realized the pre-orders were limited (and they were) so I called "The credit will show up in 24-48 hours" I was told, so I placed a SECOND Order. Guess what: Both debits are still on my account. My bank said 3 days from when credit is issued. Well, BB must be holding back - it's 7 days now, and I am out $1130 - no credit for the canceled order (though it shows that way on BB site.
As for my valid order: same as everyone:
"In Process"
"Order Status: 1 item(s) preordered, release date is 12/18/11"
I have called: 3 times, and gotten 3 different answers: We are getting them on the 18th, should ship out soon after that"
"We are getting them on the 19th"
"We are getting them on the 16th, and should start shipping same day.
All supposedly read right off the BB system....
Oh, and if they tell you your order is "Verified"? That means the MONEY is verified, and BB knows they have you money, all set, no problemo, we are getting PAID, by you, so we are all set! oh... you want to know about YOU? Shipping? Stock? Release? Policies? (We have policies galore, in fact, we come up with new variations all day long!)
I just want the damn thing, and if they ship on 18th or within a day or two, cool.. (19th is a Sunday folks, so even if they package on 19th, nothing is going out that day) Oh... and Mr. BestBuy sir... where is my $#@& CREDIT!!!!?????
PS: I ordered a dock from GameStop of all places, as they were the only place left today that had a dock with an actual release date: Frys:"Unknown" J&R: "Unknown" Gamestop: December 13th ! Whee, I can type on it and pretend I have a tablet (my TF101 is gone, shipped back for refund)
Only issue: Freaking Gamestop will NOT state the freaking COLOR of the freaking DOCK!!!
Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.
We apologize however we cannot determine the color or design preference on this item as all of the colors and variations are under the same Sku.
If there is a specific color you would like to purchase, please visit one of our local stores for further assistance regarding this purchase.
Please be aware if you do not receive the color that you would prefer, you may also exchange this at a store level.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to respond to this email.
Even though the combined Pre-Order Thread here shows it as a GREY dock. sigh. Don't think I will be getting too much envy at work with a 2 tone, freaky looking mismatched TF Prime in Amethyst-Champagne GoldGrey
