My re-ordered 11/22 pre-order will ship between jan 25-feb 8.
This is obviously not Amazons fault as they are just a seller without stock. Blame Asus if anything.
Ditto.
Sent from my Galaxy Note using XDA premium.
I just had a chat with an amazon cs rep.
You are now connected to Michael from Amazon.com.
Me:I have not recieved my $10 Amazon.com gift card code for the transfromer prime I have on pre order. I was sent and email on 12/18/11 that indicated that i should of recieved it in a few days.
Michael:Hello! My name is Michael. How have you been XXXX?
Me:I'm good
Michael:I am glad to hear it!
I'll be happy to help you out with this question. let me just see what has happened with the $10.00 gift-card you have not been sent.
Do you have handy the order number XXXX?
Me:002-218XXXX-XXXXXXX
Michael:Thank you! Let me take a look it, please.
Me:Ok
Michael:I'm sorry it's taking so long, I'll be right with you.
Me:Okay
Also can you verify the delivery date for this order?
Michael:Sure! I will
Me:Thank you
Michael:You're welcome!
I 'm still checking was has happened with the gift-card, in the meantime, I'd like to let you know that the estimated delivery date is Jan 26- Feb 9, 2012, this is because usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks.
Me:Okay so that is when you expect to get in your next shipment or do you think they could come in sooner?
Michael:Let me check on that as well, please
I seems that yes, it's expected to be delivered between that time-frame, but chances are that it takes less than, but i Cannot assure you anything
One more question XXXX, when you placed the order you were promised the gift-card, weren't you?
Me:Yes I was. For $10.
Michael:Thank you! let me continue researching because I just see a promo for FREE One-Day Shipping.
Me:It was in the email that sent to me on 12/18/11.
Michael:Thanks, that will help a lot.
I just got it, let me check on that, it was because I thought it was on another order, sorry!
Me:Okay
Michael:Thanks
Thank you for waiting XXXX! It seems that within these days you'll be getting the $10 Amazon.com Gift Card code, yet if by Friday you have not gotten it, which I do not think so, please contact us back to get this solved.
Me:Okay thank you.
Michael:You're welcome. Was there anything else I could help you with today?
Me:Nope that is all I had. Thank you.
Michael:You are welcome! Thanks for contacting Amazon, we hope to see you again soon.
Have a nice day!
my black sleeve arrives tomorrow. so... cool! ill just sit and stare at the box for the next month.
I didn't have a pre-order.
I Just ordered it from amazon after I cancelled my newegg pre-order.
My 32CH tablet date isn't listed, but my dock date is Jan 26th - Feb 8th.
Geez
Yes, I got the same damn email. I can't beleive we're the same people getting screwed over and over while others who have ordered after us have gotton it or better dates. If I don't get my 10 dollar by friday I'll be calling too. Keep us posted on the 10 dollar. If I get my prime from gamestop on friday, I'm going to wait until I get the 10 dollar and then cancel the amazon orders I have.
Luckily it may not aggrevate me as bad anymore after today. I also replace my dying evo4g with a galaxy s2 and that is out for delivery today. Maybe this will keep my mind off the prime.
ditto :/ :/
Sorry to barge in but did anyone find that Amazon employee's writing difficult to read. It looked like it was written by a child in parts. Wouldn't surprise me if Amazon was employing special kids with the way they've handled their pre-orders.

Probably Indian folks or a procedureally generated response by the Amazon Artificial Intelligence system. The errors in typing is put there on purpose to fool you into thinking it's a human being you're talking to.
Yup, got that email this morning from Amazon. Seems like the accidental order cancellation and the gracious offer to re-pre-order still doesn't mean much unless they are way conservative on the timing of the 2012 shipments.
If I had never planned on getting this and not preordered on Nov 22 and just now heard about the Prime I'd be OK with waiting a few more weeks. But all the hype about release dates, open preorders in November, promises of Dec 8, Dec 19, Dec 23 from all over just chaps me.
I cannot believe in this day and age of computerized distribution, massive amounts of data collection, that these retailers AND Asus cannot freakin figure out how many items are enroute, in stores, being shipped, on trucks, etc... Are they using an abacus to keep track of inventory? Apologies for the rant
I preorderd on Nov 22 (32GB Champagne) and did not get canceled.... still having to wait until Jan 12th to get mine. However my dock is scheduled for the 6th

Probably USPS.
My original ship date was 1/25-2/8 but now its pushed back two additional days. Gah.
Mine, preordered on nov 22, says estimated is Jan. 25 to Feb 14!!! What is up with that? Is there anyway to contact asus directly and find out what the status is on these? They said they expected inventory to reach normal levels in jan which hopefully includes the 64gb prime..
Did anyone actually get the $10 gift certificate mentioned in the Amazon apology/re-order e-mail?

I didn't get it until I called and complain to them about it. You may have to do the same. I had 2 primed on backordered. After they gave me my 10 bucks I canceled both of them. Tired of putting to the back of the line and poor customer service. They don't deliver.
Not re-order, but pre-ordered. Wow, that sucks for a lot of you. I pre-order on DEC.22 (very recent), scheduled to deliver on Jan 25th. Grey 64gb. We'll see.
32 gray went from Jan 25 to next Tuesday!

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.
Help me Gamestop, you're my only hope!

I just got off the phone with J&R, and she told me they expect a shipment around December 15th. I ordered a 32GB Grey on Friday the 2nd.
I wonder if the person I spoke with is misinformed? Or perhaps my order will be fulfilled by an earlier shipment than yours would have been? Now I'm a little worried, haha...

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:
Praveen:Hello, my name is Praveen. I'll be happy to help you.

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.

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:

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.

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.

I'm confused. You're canceling your order because it is going to ship sooner?
I assume you bought it somewhere else, and no longer need your preorder on Amazon?
Ah, it seems as though if I use my southern California delivery address, the order would arrive on 12/30. If I use my address in New Jersey where I am now, the order would arrive on 1/3. This is regardless of having one-day shipping for both options. Different distribution centers?
I hurried and checked my email/amazon order status, lol. I order on Dec 20th, not with the pre-sale or previous 1st pre-order batch and my Previous estimated arrival date: January 25, 2012 - February 08, 2012 and still is showing estimated arrival date as the same, no change
Maybe because I ordered the 64gb grey, not the 32gb. But congrats! I'm praying I get the same email, for an earlier arrival date,
What about the dock?
As for the tab, I saved $1 with Newegg and it's coming on the 30th.
Looks like those of us who ordered the 64GB are screwed. I ordered on Dec. 13th from Amazon and still stuck at the original ETA.

Yep, ordered on 22 Nov, and am counting myself lucky to still have an 10 Jan ETA. Interesting strategy ASUS has to bone the folks who were willing to pay the premium for the step up.
I think Amazon got some more units, which is why people are getting these "Good news!" emails.
I predict as Amazon bumps up their supply, more people will start seeing "Good news!" emails. Hopefully though, with people canceling their Amazon pre-orders to get ones from BB, OD, Staples, DataVis, B&H, J&R, Newegg or TD, Amazon will be able to supply more units to those who have already pre-ordered.
I say that because Amazon hasn't been updating their web page to tell people they have more in stock like BB is doing with each new shipment.
I order a pair, one champagne and one black silver, both 32gb. Only got the good news email for the champagne order. Will be delivered by Dec 30 (which is tomorrow!!). No tax from Amazon. Good thing I waited. Yay.
When did you order them?

Right, and no official word from ASUS either. I think I'm close to canceling and waiting for the iPad 3 in late Feb. The mixed reviews around here don't help either, I was so hyped for this thing reading all of the official reviews.

I've had my Prime for a few weeks and have been searching all over for the anyone that has received there TF201-DOCK-CG in CHAMPAGNE Gold.
I have seen post stating they have gotten there Gray docks but not been able to find the CHAMPAGNE.
If you either have received this or if this is still on back order status please provide this information.
thanks in advance
Haven't received it yet but I'm expecting it soon. I pre ordered one from Abes of Maine, and another from ShopBLT. Both are expecting to get a shipment of them on the 27th of this month, which is the best I've heard from ANY place so far. Whichever can send it to me first, I'll cancel the other's order.
Thanks for this input this is the same info I have found.
The only one I have seen online that is even offering this on a pre-order is ShopBLT
http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop...110020050010_BLL5657P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!
When I spoke to the today they did state that this was the third time that they have had a push from the Manufacturer and this was not a firm data by any means. They also stated that while they have 371 coming in the back order was in the 400 range, but they expected 3% would cancel there order.
I guess I will wait and see
There are so many threads on this topic..and thanks for the misleading title.
I ordered one from shopblt.com back on Dec 23rd with a ship date of January 5th. They wrote a very creepy email stationg the name and address didn't match to the card and the email verification could have been spoofed (I used my Gmail add) since it was a public domain. Then they asked me for a photocopy of my drivers license or a copy of my electric or gas bill to verify the address and name. They also stated this shouldn't be of concern because the information I gave them for the order was equivalent to personal info (essentially saying I might as well give the my social security as well ). I immediately cancelled my order as the ridiculousness of it was over my head. Might just have been me but beware! Seemed too creepy

Please provide the other threads as I have searched and only found ones relating to the gray docks but none on this one directly, and I will ask for this to be removed.
The point is I have yet to see any post stating that this has been received

Gary, if you're reading this thread can you shed some light on the absent champagne dock issue?
I have it (well, had, send it back because of backlight bleeding). At least it is for sale in Holland (bundled with the 32GB Prime).
I pre ordered from Amazon on Nov 22 together with the prime. I have had the prime for weeks now but still haven't gotten the keyboard dock. I received an email from Amazon on Jan 12th saying the dock will be delayed and if I still want the order. I said yes, and nothing since then.

Ditto... same situation here.
Hopefully the Champagne docks will at least be available for order for 10 minute windows next week.
Champagne Docks delayed
Well, Champagne docks have now been pushed into February. My PCNation order had been 2-5 days since last week and now is 1-2 weeks. Checking ShopBLT site shows they won't be in until Feb. 7.
I've had this on order since mid December. What the hell is going on?

I suspect they haven't shipped any to the US. I pre-ordered the CG dock at the same time I ordered our Primes on Nov 22.
Yea, I've got a Christmas gift I won't have til mid February :rollseyes:

I emailed Abes of Maine after I got a weird email from them that made it look like I had ordered it only yesterday rather than weeks ago. They said it was nothing to worry about, just that it was to say they received a bunch of them and were shipping them out today and tomorrow. They also said to expect it to be delivered before the weekend!!
So, if any of you ordered from Abe's, you might want to email them and ask if anything new is happening.

Same!!!! so frustrating.
Ordered: Newegg CG Dock In Stock
CG dock still in stock at Newegg. Just ordered with overnight shipping. Charged and processing. Now... To Sell this gray dock lol
My CG Dock order with Tigerdirect (placed Nov 23) changed from "Backordered" to "In Process". They were among the first to deliver the CG tablet, so I assume this means they also received an allotment of CG docks and are starting to fulfill orders.
Thought I'd make a thread for people who pre ordered through Amazon instead of clogging other threads.
I just ordered mine today and its back ordered but says est delivery on May 21st
Also here's how to get free one day shipping! Thanks purock!

Just ordered mine and Del date is 5/22. Ships 5/18.
I think it says back order because its a pre-order? Not sure?
But release is not until 5/18 so.... I hope it ships that day because I have 5/22 off from work.
It says free activation for new lines... but when I ordered as an upgrade it said Sprint would charge me $36 activation. I called Sprint retention department and complained about their lack of lte, etc and got a credit to my account and a promise to waive the activation fee
To get free overnight shipping just email amazon and ask nicely. Include your order #. They were really cool about it.
The $36 fee waiving is for new lines only, not upgrades.
And don't worry about the backorder note, Amazon told me that's just a placeholder type deal. They told me that that all pre orders are on track to ship by 5/18.
My estimated delivery date is the 5/21.

I purchase everything via Amazon, but I couldn't wait (too excited) to pre-order so I went with Sprint.com, I should have waited.
I made a promise to myself to never do that again, so my next HTC phone will definitively be via Amazon for sure.
I was opposite. I ordered through Sprint, canceled, ordered through Amazon to save $62.
I too am an Amazon fanboy. I have no problem waiting a few extra days.

They didint say **** about Activation waiver. They told me to expect it.
But they did throw in a free charger and a $10.00 Google Wallet Credit.
As far as Shipping. I would prefer it be on Tuesday as that is my day off! Woooot and I work all weekend. Perfect timing!

Thanks man, I'm going to try this out! I just hope to get it before Memorial day weekend since I'll be out for almost a week. Hopefully my preorder is on track since I ordered a few hours ago lol
Edit: Can confirm this works!
I just cancelled my order from Wirefly and placed one with Amazon. I was in early with Wirefly on 5/7, but they would never give me a straight answer of when or if it would ship soon.
Amazon did say I should have it by 5/22. Not sure whether I believe that or not, but at least they are giving me a date. I also noticed they gave me a free car charger once I placed my order. That was a nice surprise.
Not sure how this customs thing is going to affect it if it is true.

Yep they are giving a free car charger to everyone. Can never have enough of those generic USB chargers.
In all honesty, I doubt the Customs thing is going to affect pre-orders that much. Most of those phones have probably been in the country for at least a few days.
Those customs batches are for units not yet sold, I suspect.
When I click the free charger link it 404's lol

I preordered from Amazon on 5/11 before it went to 'backordered' and my status still shows as shipping 5/18, so I decided to email Amazon today and got the following response:

Hi,
I placed a pre-order for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE on 5/11, but last night
I heard there was some sort of delay for this phone due to US Customs. My
account page still shows my order as estimated delivery date of 5/22 with
the shipping date as 5/18 as it originally was when I placed the order. I
wanted to confirm if this was still accurate and if the delay has changed
anything for my account? Also are there any options to possibly get this
shipped faster with another method?
My order number is ******************.

So I'm crossing my fingers that Ron from Amazon knows what he's talking about.
Same thing for me; I'm curious if anyone who requested the overnight shipping has seen a change on their order status. (IE: Arrival Date: 5/21)

Amazon often plays by its own rules. So I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them ship out preoders if they were able to get their batch. I know Sprint would prohibit them from doing this, but how effective could they be?

I had it change a while ago. My status still says this when you go to view order:
Shipping Estimate: May 18, 2012
Delivery Estimate: May 21, 2012
Shipping Speed: FREE One-Day Shipping
Interesting because I got a completely different response!
Thank you for emailing in about the possible delay of the HTC EVO LTE 4G Android Phone. There are reports that the phone is delayed at customs and I'm sorry we don't have a time line when they will be released.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Just got my response back for the change in shipping. My order has been updated and says it will ship on the 18th and be received on the 21st. I figure Amazon will join the delay alongside everyone else, but they are taking their time getting that info to their customers, so I wonder if they will do anything about that... they are generally good with their customer service. I don't mind waiting if it comes to that.
Yeah I'm trying to keep my expectations low so I don't get disappointed but I'm hoping they already had some stock onhand before it went to backorder status and are still sending those who had preordered their phones on time.
On a related note, I did email again and requested for one-day delivery instead of the free two-day shipping that they automatically give you and score!
Hello from AmazonWireless,
I was able to upgrade the shipping on your order to one day. The new estimated delivery date is 21 May 2012.

Hello [Crowordove],
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the truth is we just don't yet know how this customs issue with the Evo LTE phones will affect our ability to deliver your new phone to yet. Of course, we'll keep you informed via email as we find out.
For now, we still expect to ship your order in time for delivery on May 22, 2012 .
We'll send you an e-mail when your order is shipped with your tracking number.
You can track your order status online on Your Account

That's what I was given yesterday. However my OG EVO can last a bit longer if I need it to.
