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.

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.
What model and color did you pre-order? I want to see if this is limited to 32GB Amethyst Gray models only. It appears that ALL of the 32GB Amethyst gray ones were killed.
As somebody wrote in another thread, they found it hard to believe that the largest online retailer in the world didn't have clout to get some of the 32gb gray ones.
Let's find out!
(wouldn't it be weird if some bozo mistakenly hit the 'Cancel all' button??)
Note: I purposely did not have an option for 'I ordered something other than 32gb gray, and did not get canceled', because it is not statistically relevant for this poll's purpose.
32GB Amethyst Gray ordered on the morning of the 23rd. CANCELLED!

fill up the poll!
So far, it looks like ALL 32gb gray models were killed. What are the chances of that, unless:
Amazon messed up their order with ASUS
ASUS messed up their order with Amazon
Amazon mistakenly canceled our orders
Everybody's 32gb gray models are canceled (regardless of merchant) - possible manufacturing snag
Seems to me that numbers 2 and 3 should be fixable.
64GB champagne not cancelled from Amazon.ca yet.
I would like to know has anybody that ordered the 64 gig model been canceled from any merchant?
32GB Grey, Preordered Nov 22nd 6:00AM CST
It appears that confirmed orders today seem to be Prime members who choose next day air. Amazon is suppose to work on a first come first serve basis. To think that Amazon would go against their policy of first come first serve is crazy. Well that's what the supervisor I spoke to at Amazon thought, but is now going to investigate this just to be reassured. I told him that Prime membership does not mean priority (jump the line) shipment. It was not setup for that purpose.
I wanted to see if there was a pattern here, so I set this up.
So for this thread, don't comment, just use the poll to say whether you are a Prime/non-prime member and order one day shipping and ordered on 11/22/11 and had it confirmed shipping/shipped. If you can post something like an email as prove or a pic, that would be nice (remember to black-out/omit order and tracking numbers), but not necessary
If this thread seem pointless to YOU, please don't respond, just let it die and don't open it. I know it doesn't serve a purpose to all but I would like to see if Prime is truly undefined "preferred" member program.
There is no poll.

Called Amazon, spoke with a supervisor and then a manager. They told me they are not expecting the 64gb model for 4 to 7 weeks. ASUS has not provided them with an ETA and only a window of sometime in late January.
PURE SPECULATION BELOW:
It looks like ASUS did not produce any 64gb models in order to push out the 32gb models and I would venture to say they haven't even started production of them yet.
snatch it up
