Newegg is now shipping pre-orders - Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion

I ordered the 820/6GB/64GB variant on Newegg about a week ago and it looks like they are now shipping ahead of the Nov 1 availability date. If you want the phone in the US with warranty, you might be able to order it through Newegg.
Still no official bootloader unlock though.

Well that sucks. It seems that they are getting the phones in batches and shipping out once they get them.

Amazon is shipping their second batch.

I think they released the unlock tool for the lesser models already, so I think the one for the ze570kl's should be around the corner.

That's awesome Congrats!!!!
Wow, I canceled my Amazon order to get it from BB... it'll come here on 1/4.
Should've kept the order with Amazon
Thanks for info. Whew. Just in time to cancel my order. Wouldve been PITA later.
(FYI, I placed the order on December 18, not part of the November presale)
Just checked my order status and my pre-order from ~11:25 PM on 12/18 (35 minutes before the 32 GB grey re-pre-orders were supposed to officially start) is due to arrive on 1/3.

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.

TF201-Mobile-Docking-TF201-DOCK-CG post if received or not

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

AT&T preorder.. Note supposed to arrive on or before 17th.

So I preordered the Note on Feb 10th and I can't say im not super excited. However, here it is the 16th and my preorder still has not shipped. If its shipping FedEx 2-Day which is what AT&T usually uses, the math isn't adding up for me to receive the Note on the 17th.
Anyone know what's going on?
Moved To AT&T Note General​
Please Post in the correct section​
AT&T Promised it:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/30/samsung-galaxy-note-att/
the carrier's offering a pre-order option beginning next Sunday, and your February 17th delivery is promised as long as you click that "order" button by the 15th.
So I would expect it tomorrow.

Preorders are shipped overnight. People need to calm down!
I have not received shipping info yet, but I did get a personal e-mail from a Premier employee who was awesome enough to reach out to me a couple of times throughout the pre-order process. He says that the phone has "dropped to the warehouse" and that everything looks alright. He said I should be receiving a tracking number, but the wording about when the phone actually ships was a little hazy.
I will be sure to post here if/when I receive another e-mail or update. Please do the same!
I heard that it was overnight shipping, not 2-day!

Amazon and revised delivery estimate

On Oct 16th, I placed an order for a Nexus 9 with Amazon and selected the free shipping option. My estimated delivery date was Nov 10 - 17. Today, I decided to change the delivery option to 2nd day and my estimated delivery date was revised to DECEMBER 23RD!!!! WTF?!?!?
I've got a message into Amazon customer service but has anyone else been shocked with a revised delivery date from Amazon?

Did you order from US amazon or UK? I ordered from Amazon US on Oct. 16th and the est. delivery day hasn't changed (Nov. 4th)
Whenever you revise the delivery date, you're getting pushed back on the que for a Nexus 9, kind of like going all the way to the back of the line each time.
I ordered from amazon and chose the 1 day shipping option. Amazon has not provided me with a shipping or delivery estimate like they did for you guys. My order says "not yet shipped. We'll email you when available." Did your order say this when you first placed it? How long did it take amazon to email you a delivery estimate? Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
They usually give you a shipping date when you order it.
Looks like maybe the product is backordered so thats why there's no shipping date lol. Don't know for sure, probably wait and see in a few days/week about shipping times.
I just sent amazon customer service an email asking for a ship date. Ill wait to see what they have to say tomorrow. If they cant give me a ship date by then, ill order directly from htc. Itll cost me an extra 35 bucks as opposed to amazon, but at least ill get it by Nov 4th. No way im waiting until December 23 like the poster above.

Can anyone tell me the delivery date on Play store for orders placed today?

Update:
Amazon:If your shipping address is eligible for Release-Date Delivery, we'll automatically upgrade your order to this shipping option.
Release-Date Delivery only applies to orders shipped to addresses within the lower 48 United States. Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and international destinations will be delivered after the release date. Release-Date Delivery also does not apply to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
Me:Yes it is eligible. Do you mean that I can still get the item on Nov 5?
Amazon:Yes.
And they upgraded my shipping method from two-day to one-day. Job well done Amazon.

Yes, I ordered from Amazon US on Oct 16th. Got a 10/3 ship date then with a 10/10 delivery estimate. When I changed to 2nd day delivery, I got the email with the 12/23 delivery date.
Had a similar issue with Amazon on a Google Chromecast order...hopefully it will be corrected soon. Also see that my online order now shows no estimated delivery date. Very strange...

Did they explain why they took off the release date
I've learned my lesson...don't EVER change the shipping option on a pre-order with Amazon. It screws everything up and your order is treat as brand new. What a stupid process!

No, they didn't.
I guess they want to play this safely.
Chances are the earlier Nov 5 date was automatically generated based solely on the set release date, instead of order time and their stock.
Now they're probably checking their stock or/and asking for more units from Google.

UK Delivery Thread

After jealously watching all the yanks get their phones over the last week or so, it's almost launch time for blighty !
So, here's the obligatory delivery thread where we can all optimistically and wildly speculate on our deliveries along with celebrating arrivals.
So I'll kick this off:
Vodafone pre order for Pixel 3 Black 64gb. I ordered on 12th.
So far: Initial order number tracking code wouldn't work on site. Then last night I got another bunch of texts and emails with a new tracking code that shows order confirmed and getting it ready. However one text does state my order will be shipped for launch date , so I'm not getting too excited.
A chat agent did tell me their stock arriving 26th so that's possibly why my status has changed as they have stock and are basically waiting until they are allowed to send it.
I'm going to assume they have plenty of stock as a few days ago they reduced the contract prices by £4 for the pixel 3, which may indicate low pre sales.
So I'm really hoping for a Nov 1st delivery !
Ordered mine on 9th October from the Google store. The original shipping date said 5-6th November but I got an email earlier in the week saying it will be 30-31st October.

That's sounds great, before official UK launch date !
I'm also hoping mine gets shipped a little early, but currently I'd settle for Nov 1st as I have no idea where I am in the Vodafone order queue. I'm also glad Vodafone use DPD for delivery so I'll get a one hour delivery window , which means I can pop home from work to wait for it
Fingers crossed! I don't know who the Google store uses to deliver but I'm hoping it can be left with a neighbor if it comes Tuesday as I'm away.

Also ordered on 12th - Clearly White 64GB from EE. I'm coming from a 2XL - but wanted to return to a smaller form factor. Originally the white models were showing as not shipping until 3 weeks after launch which was a real bummer. However, order tracking now stating 1st November so getting excited now!!

Yes Vodafone told me no white model until a few weeks later but seems that's changed now. Good luck !
Also nice to see that EE actually give you a date as Vodafone don't.
Ordered my upgrade from 3Uk on the 16th, delivery is the 1st.
Bought my current Nexus 5X when Google phones were reasonably priced! I'm on a sim, all you can eat deal, paying £21 a month, so for £99 up front and £48 a month hope it's good! ?
Ordered two Pixel 3 Black 64gb + two Pixel Stands on 9th October from the Google Store.
Delivery date was originally 5th-6th November.
Received email notification on 22nd Oct with a new delivery date of 30th-31st October.
Received email notification on 25th Oct with a new delivery date of 8th-9th November.
Currently considering binning the order and placing it with John Lewis instead.

I've never bought direct from Google since my Nexus 4, when their logistics was exported as useless. They ended up seemingly shipping randomly, with later orders going out before early ones.
A bunch of us from XDA bombarded the then head of Google UK with complaints on his Google + feed and he issued a statement apologising and got it looked at and sorted for us. I still don't trust them.

I've a sneaking suspicion that they just don't "get" logistics, and struggle a little with the concept of a world outside the USA.
I've been buying from them since the Nexus One, and I can't recall a single time the initial launch deliveries ran smoothly.
Talking of non US - wonder what we'll need to do to get call screening to work. Hopefully just change language to US English. Or even better would be a magical module and I'll happily root the phone then.

Yeah man really excited to be honest. I know on paper it's not that big of an upgrade, but the improved screen/camera is enough reason for me. Sure, it sounds like there's a few issues here and there, much like there was with the 2XL last year, but I still loved the phone and getting those sweet updates on the first Monday of every month.

Great news. I'm hoping that mine will ship on 31st, to arrive on 1st. My wife will be at home for delivery, but I'll leave work and pick it up anyway
I cancelled my order with Google and moved it to John Lewis instead, based on their commitment to delivering on the 1st November.
Hopefully things will pan out that way.

Is that directly with Google? I'm happy to wait until Thursday as per my order tracking estimate. I wouldn't expect it to be early, especially as it's being delivered to the store for collection. Only 3 more days with this damn Moto G4 Play with 1GB ram haha!

Not sure if I understand the question correctly?
My original order was via the Google Store and delivery got pulled forward to 30/31st then pushed back to delivery later than when originally ordered.
The John Lewis phones are SIM free and the same as supplied by Google, with the original manufacturer warranty + JL's 2 year guarantee on top. It means any issues / RMAs can go via JL customer service, which is something Google have never been particularly good at IMHO.

Sorry man, I was meaning was your order directly from the google store, which you've now answered! Don't blame you for switching to JL - fingers crossed you get the device on 1st
Google don't seem to have a great track record with stocking phones/logistics in general! Although this year does seem the best so far, providing we do get the phones as expected on UK launch date (1st). That's only just over 3 weeks since the keynote. I remember last year the keynote was October 4th and I didn't actually get my phone delivered until 14th November (sim-free directly from Carphone Warehouse).

No worries.
I've ordered direct from Google on launch most years since the Nexus One, but I've never had despatch dates moved around so much before. It made me twitchy this time around.
I'm not really too bothered about delivery on release day, but I do want solid customer service. JL have been very good to me over the years and have clear channels of communication and escalation.
Here's hoping it works out as planned for the both of us.
And don't forget to buy a case !
I've just ordered my usual, a Spigen clear gel case. Always a good fit, subtle so as not to ruin phones good looks, great corner protection and with slight lip to protect from screen down falls.
