I really looked EVERYWHERE, Bestbuy, Amazon, TigerDirect, Newegg. Does anybody know any other site in which the grey dock is in stock? I do not want to resort to ordering an overpriced $200 Grey Dock to fulfill that void in my soul
Just pre-order one from Best Buy. The shipping date is only like 1-2 weeks. Unless they aren't accepting any more orders.

You just have to be patient and wait for these little windows of opportunity. If you just go ahead and place an order with Best Buy or Amazon, you WILL get a dock within a week or two. They only show up as "available" for a very short amount of time and then the stock is gone. I could have put a grey dock in my online cart at Best Buy a day ago and it would have "left warehouse in 3-5 days". Now it says 1-2 weeks. That is when they think they will get their next shipment.
What I'm trying to say is.....you might not find them IN STOCK at all. But they are getting them in. So if you place an order, it will get filled when they get it in stock again. Are you not able to add it to a cart?
Use this site to monitor the status.

NowInStock wasn't that reliable for me. Items that came in stock for only a few minutes didn't show up on the site nor did I get a notification. Refreshing the item page on the store's website 24/7 was more reliable

I wouldn't say this is the case at all. I preordered a grey case in November and it still hasn't shipped.

Lol for those who don't have enough time to do this. Nowinstock.net works great for those who don't I wish I had enough time to check all the time.

There's a topic floating around here somewhere, you go into best buy, ask for an OMS order and give them the sku. Few days later pick it up. Thats what I did. I even surprised the best buy employee for knowing this and he was unaware of this ordering. Got the dock today and the bb employee even ordered a prime and one for himself as well.

What is the sku # for the dock may i ask
I ordered online on Best Buy last friday (01-06-12), and is schedule to delivery tomorrow. I guess I'm lucky.

Go there. That's the original topic with sku and how to do it.

Tried sorting through the retail availability thread, unfortunately that thing is just out of control with posts and I cannot seem to find any info. Has anyone confirmed any retail stores stocking the keyboard docking station or when they may receive them? Or for that matter any websites currently offering it? I know amazon had it posted up, but they went so fast I did not have a chance. I appreciate any information anyone has.
I've dug through most that thread and the rumors lean towards amazon getting some by June. But no idea on how many or what'll be available after all the pre orders are processed. American TV has it on their website but its back ordered. Pre orders were showing ~1-2 week shipping but not sure if thats firm or not. Also some were saying Best Buy should have some in stores in the next 2-3 weeks, but again no one is 100% sure on anything.
Talked to asus product information, said retail stores should begin receiving docks and tablets next week by end of week. Let's hope this is true.

Talked to Best Buy computers manager this morning, he told me that they are expecting tablet and dock to be available Sunday May 15th to coincide with ad week. He is very knowledgeable guy so hopefully he is right, can't wait to get this keyboard!

and sign up for the alerts... Also, bookmark the page so you can come back to it quickly.
Woops sorry, posted in the wrong thread. Ignore.
I received an e-mail from BB telling me the dock was backordered. Nothing for the prime itself. I assume it will be shipped on the 18th. I will cancel the dock for special reasons if it doesnt ship until then.

Why not post this under BestBuy thread!? Seriously, nothing here says that the docks are delayed any more than Prime itself is delayed due to big amount of pre-orders.
Also, you gave no details what color dock are you talking about or at what date did you place your order, since Amethyst Gray tablets have also been canceled in number of sellers.
I am talking about the dock. Thats why i started another thread to not create any confusion. Anyway it is grey and ordered the same day with prime. Since i received backorder notice only for the dock i assumed a good news at least for the tablet.

Then clarify in your thread, you make it sound like just because you had your dock canceled by BB that suddenly others won't get it regardless when they ordered, where they ordered or what color
And again, what date did you place your order?
On the 3d, after my amazon order got cancelled.

Well then, it does not affect what Asus said in that case. They said that they can barely cover orders placed before December (and Amazon apparently did not keep tabs on their pre-order limits). Seeing delays on orders placed in December, days after delays became known, is not that much of a surprise. I don't think you can order dock or the tablet anywhere without being hit by delays anymore. If you placed your order in November you might have a chance to get the order shipped before Christmas, but that too is (as Amazon has showed) a game of luck.
I ordered my 32gb gray tp and dock on dec 4 from best buy and mine are still scheduled to be delivered on dec 18 for both...I did request next day ups delivery....I wonder if the shipping you select has an effect on the order in which they are fulfilled. I also confirmed my date was solid by calling best buy and asking about the expected release and she told me the same.....good luck everyone

I ordered next day delivery on the 3d and it used say it would be shipped right away, then on the 18th, then I received backordered notices twice, lastly yesterday. I still keep it on my order but I will cancell it on the 18th if my tablet ships alone.

I ordered a champagne dock with my prime on 11/29. My dock's original release date was 12/31, but I received an email two days ago that moved the dock's release date up from 12/31 to 12/19.
So not all docks are on back order. Maybe it is just the grey ones.
TF201 DOCK,GREY for $128.09
I found the dock at Seaboom.com I got mine on order eventhough they estimate a lead time of 3 weeks. Probably be around the time I get Prime. So it should all work out.
I can't post the link since I'm new. Sorry.

I ordered a hard drive from Seaboom on Black Friday. They charged my card and I didn't hear anything for a week. Then I got an e-mail saying it was back-ordered. Five days letter I got an e-mail saying my order was canceled. My credit card just got refunded yesterday. You may want to line up a "Plan B."
Just got an email ETA is 1/5/2012.
Just ordered the Dock from newegg! in stock beforethe tabs, should ship tomorrow!
Thanks so much. I just ordered one with UPS 3 day shipping. I hope it comes early next week.
Thanks for the info...ordered and shipping
Got one too, I hope. It still shows available. I guess that's good. We'll see.

Everyone who has gotten a dock so far has gotten the grey. I wonder what happened to the champagne docks
I'm sure that these will go for over $250 on ebay.....
Thanks for the heads up. Almost ordered it, but then i remembered i dont have the tab yet, and if i had a kb before the tab i would just go crazzzy trying to get a tab.
Went ahead and ordered. Didn't enjoy Amazon cancelling all willy nilly so they're losing my Prime keyboard business and my Prime business since Office Depot came through.
Thanks for info!
Got one too , originally pre-ordered 2 champagne ones on amazon, but wifee likes a gray one better anyway. Thanks again.
Yea finally got something! The site does not like Discover so be ready with something else.
Got one! Thank you for the tip! I hope they really have stock and it'll ship tomorrow.
Thanks OP
Thanks! I managed to snag one with shop runner 2 day shipping.
Now I just need the actual tablet...
Dang, I wish Discover Card cashback was instant...would love to use the $50 I got for buying the Prime towards this puppy. Have wait 8 weeks.
wife was able to pick me up one for x-mas (after x-mas) thanks to your heads up. I got an email alert from newegg but didn't look at the phone until after reading your post title. Glad i was stalking the forums.
I think it has shown available to order for a couple days now, but says it will ship in 4-7 weeks. Are you guys seeing something different, because I have had one on preorder for ages from amazon.

Newegg shows it as in stock, not preorder.
Yay, got one. Now hopefully my preorder tablet from them comes in stock too
Can't wait until the champagne dock is in stock somewhere. Assuming my champagne tablet actually ships tomorrow, of course.

I really like the tab, but mine rebooted constantly after ice. I planed to order a new one but I can't find them at all and several sites seem tohave them tagged as a prodect that is not being restocked. Has anyone seen one for sale from a store in the last 24 - 48 hours

Ordered mine from Office Depot yesterday. Called to verify (1/12 4:45pm est) they truly had some in and was told at that time they had 37 in the warehouse. However, she could not tell me a color, lol. No matter where she went on her computer it wasn't listed. It made me nervous as I already have the Dock sitting here until I checked "Product Details" and it is model TF201-B-GR. I feel better. Not 100% but at lest 85% I'm getting the correct color. Order shipped and I should have it Tuesday.
Too new here to post links but go to Officedepot and search item number 906853 (Still in stock atm.)
I was lucky to find it as NowInStock.net still has it listed as PreOrder.

There are some FRYs Electronics stores that have few of them in stock in the back room. You can have an employee look up the SKU and they should be able to tell you whether they *actually* have them in stock there.
I know many of you have been on the hunt for the keyboard dock.
Well, if you still are, then I suggest you runs down to your local Office Depot, as I was able to locate them in at least 3 of my local stores.
Most have received the docks within the past 2-3 days. Good luck!

I ordered one from Best Buy online two days ago and even though it said it wouldn't ship until 1/31-2/14 I received a tracking # today!
Awesome, just made the phone call, on my way to pick it up!
Same with paradismo. Ordered my dock from best buy 2 days ago but got my tracking number today. Will probably get it next week :thumbup:

Thanks, OP.
This post made me check my local office depot.. and they had primes AND docks.. grabbed a dock this morning.
Great investment so far.
Thanks for the tip! I called my local Office Depot this morning, and they had one waiting for me when I showed up! They said they only had the one, but that it was getting restocked fairly regularly. The TF201 dock does not show up in search on their website when I looked by name, only when you search by item number (941611), or you can just call the store and ask them to look for it by that item number.
Ordered from Best buy, it wss backordered till Feb 15th or something. It was two days ago. Arrived today, didnt even get email confirming shipping. This is crazy. Im happy, keyboard works fine but the battery was depleted. Charging now.
These are all Amethyst docks you guys are finding right? Any luck with Champagne docks at Office Depot or Best Buy?

Yes. At one of the Office Depots I visited, they had received both versions. It's worth a try if you are looking for the champagne version.

I just was able to buy a dock from the local bestbuy with in-store pickup! Check your local best buys, they have them! ( I'm in Northern California)
I called several Office Depots and the ones that actually had one in stock only had Grey.
Just picked up mine from a Best Buy here in Denver.
