Where could you actually buy the Mate 20 Pro on the 16th of Oct? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

During the announcement it was said that the phone would be available starting the 16th of October. No where have I actually found the phone available before the 26th.
Did anyone actually start selling it on the 16th?

I am in Spain, there are sales here, the inventory is only black, other colors need to be booked. Then I booked the green

Prime Canadian Pre order thread

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.

Amazon.de orders delayed?

Ive just got an email from Amazon.de saying my order placed at the beginning of this week has been delayed due to bottlenecks in production and may take a further one to two weeks to deliver!
Has anyone else got the same?
..and I should say I ordered white.
it could be that amazon has placed 2 orders with the manufacturer.
when i preordered mine on the 9th of may, it still says delivery on the 30th. i spoke on the phone with amazon.co.uk and they told me that they have delivery of an amount of handsets for the 29th and then a bigger delivery on the 6th of june. So i presume is whoever managed to order one early on gets it a bit sooner, and if the stock for delivery on the 30th is gone, then that is why your's might come a bit later.
Amazon.co.uk website is still offering preorders for delivery on the 30th of both blue and white.

I got a mail from Amazon today that the delivery COULD be delayed by 1 to 2 week.
On the status page it still says delivery on 30.5.
So I hope for the best.

i suppose that is from the german amazon.de? right?
actually here is a note from amazon.co.uk when you visit the page that sells the phone:
Note on Samsung Galaxy SIII Availability:
We have been made aware that there may be a slight delay in the arrival of some Samsung Galaxy SIII stock into the UK. We will keep you informed of any new information as soon as we receive it. All pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come first-served basis and we will not charge your credit card until we are ready to ship your order.
lets hope its delivered as expected!!!
I got an email May 10th saying mine will be delivered June, between 4 and 9, no more emails since
I pre-ordered the white one on May 12th on Amazon.de, and haven't gotten the email yet. Spoke with Amazon reps some of them said that this is a "technical error" (that I haven't received the email), others have said that it might be dispatched, but that they "don't want to make any false promises". My status page still says 30.5.
There already was a discussion on this topic in Galaxy S III Pricing, Availability and Pre Order Thread
There are quite a few in the amazon forum reporting that amazon told them upon request (like the chat) that there is a delay of one or two weeks and that the displayed delivery date of the order may not be correct.
I am one of those.
I have read at least one updating the shipping method to the fast one and this caused the delivery date to be updated to about two weeks later.
According to most personal of amazon.de this delay includes anyone who did a preorder.
We'll have to wait until next week to find out if this is true.
What a chaos!!!11Eleven
If I look at the amazon.de page at this moment, you can order the blue and white version for 621,- € with delivery at 31.5

Yes, but this one is not sold by Amazon directly, but by Notebook.de. Amazon still sells at 587 EUR with 1-3 weeks delay.
Does anyone know where I could buy the phone locally in Austria (Vienna)? Saturn doesn't have it on the website, neither does MediaMarkt.
Nope.
It looks like the delay is not restricted to amazon but most or all vendors.
I don't think you'll get lucky with a normal vendor.
Don't expect saturn or mediamarkt to have them any time soon, the austrian ones are always slow on picking up new stuff compared to the german ones.
Maybe there is more luck with a mobile operator, but I did not check on this since I am not interested in buying it with a contract and have it sim-locked (if you are willing, then the offer from orange.at might be a good one).
But hey, it's 'just' supposted to be one or two weeks.
Drink tea, relax and wait (yea I know, it's hard, i'm just trying on that myself)

Yeah I figured I'll tour Orange, T-Mobile, and Drei tomorrow and see if I could get one without contract, though I doubt it. Still waiting for news from Amazon about the definite delay...
I'm gonna wait until the madness does down and stock aplenty so i can get one within a week
Just got another email, delayed to 19 - 26 June
I also got an email from Amazon.de today. I pre-ordered a pebble blue S3 on the 15th of May. It now says that it will be delivered from June, 14th to June, 15th.
So that's another 2 weeks of waiting.
Same here. This is a bit frustrating. Samsung should've addressed this problem earlier, how could they let this slip? After all, this is one of the most anticipated phones of the year.

ATT Order Still in Processing

Ordered last Tuesday, still hasn't shipped.
Anyone have similar experiences?

You ordered a color, didn't you. I did red and it took 7 days to ship. I heard yellows and cyans are 14 days or more to ship.
What was/is bad about AT&T, once in process, you can't cancel.
Good luck.

It depends on the rep if you can cancel. When it is shipped, you cannot. I pre-ordered a Charging Stand as well and when I got my phone (which was a Yellow that I ordered on Nov 7 and was in my hands on Nov 16th) I saw they had one in stock, so I had them cancel my order and picked it up in the store. I would have done it with the pad as well, but they did not have any. I found out later the reason mine didn't ship until the 14th is that only the Black, White and Red were released on the 9th, with the Cyan coming next (can't remember the date) and the Yellow was not release until the 14th which is when my yellow one shipped.
Hope this helps.
Ouch! I ordered Cyan. Guess it'll be here 2013.
I ordered black and my is still in "preorder processing". I guess it'll be here next year or never. Actually, I gave up and went and bought my black Lumia 920 at the local AT&T store. They also ordered my free charging plate. The whole preorder thing was a complete debacle especially if you are on the Premier side of AT&T.
Amazon has the Lumia 920 for $49 and rumors of a 99¢ Black Friday sale. They are backordered too, but I have more faith that my order won't fall into cyberspace and never get shipped. Ironically enough, I was able to order a second Lumia 920 through AT&T Premier system for the discounted price. I'll wait and see if they ever ship them.

Huawei.com waiting room.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of us on here but I can't keep up with the google orders getting shipping confimations and pending. I ordered 64 gb aluminum on October 14th. Early November expected. Since first batches were said to ship when Google does.

I ordered on 9/30 32gb graphite. When I ordered it said shipping late October. Though both times I live chatted with reps I got different answers. One said they were shipping the same time as Google, and the other said first week of November. I'm combining the two answers and going with any day now lol
Ordered 10/15 (a bit late to the party). 64GB Graphite. "Early November" ship date. I am dying waiting. I also need to pick up a case and screen protector...
I ordered 32gb aluminium on the 29th. Hoping I get some shipping info by Monday. I should be in first batch that goes out when Google starts shipping...which seems to be now

I orders 64GB graphite on 10/19. No shipping info other than early Nov.
I ordered on Oct.1, 2015 using affirm. It has been processing every since. Went to affirm website. They want their first payment even if the phone is still processing I guess. Google was just sold out and I was glad to save on the tax. I will just pay it all out and avoid the interest if I like it and decide to keep it.
I ordered on 9/30 the 64 GB Graphite version right before I canceled my 32 GB Graphite version on Google. It still says Processing but my AMEX has already been charged.
Ordered on 9/30, 32gb aluminum. Talked to representative who said early November or might be late October. He wasn't sure.
I was told early on that they would ship at the same time as Google and have a different batch than Google's. So I assume that when people from Google orders that ordered around the same time frame as you (I ordered on 9/29), then that's when you will get a shipping email. People who have already had theirs shipped are the ones who ordered within seconds of it going live on google and most people didn't order from huawei till the 29th since we didn't even know they would sell direct. I'd estimate them to ship out sometime next week for those who ordered when it said late October.
I ordered an Aluminum 64GB on 10/19. I was very late preordering. I tried to order late night of 10/16 but they were out of 64GB, then they put some back on 10/19 but I was able to get 1 before sold out of 64GB again with in a few hours.
Even though I preordered pretty late when I did order it still said Early November. So I'm guessing mine will be shipped mid or late 1st November week. But who knows maybe myself and us in this thread will be surprised early. After all its pretty clear much less ordered from Hauwei, therefore a lot less volume of product for them to ship. Meaning takes less time. That's what I'm hoping for.
Ordered 10/18 64GB Graphite - Early November ship date.
Typically 'early' means before the 14th.
Let's hope it's before that. I read somewhere (lost track where) that they'll be shipping between the 4th and 11th.
Also there's this: https://plus.google.com/+TaylorWimberly/posts/4hasXnK3XDA
(Taylor Wimberly works at Huawei and said that they'll be shipping 'soonish')
64GB aluminum ordered on the 15th. The website says if you try to buy one now, regardless of size or color it says shipping 'late november'
32gb alum 9/30 early November

Well my case on Amazon isn't in stock until the 5th. So guessing they are going to ship the phone on the.... 2nd. And hopefully from somewhere local. I love in Missouri.
I ordered my 64GB Graphite through Huawei and I have no received no further communication. Not even an order confirmation email. I checked my spam folder and there is nothing there either. They have, however, charged my AMEX on Oct 11.
I guess I should call them?
Also. Useful info I was mad about at first. To track your order status from gethuawei.com you must be on the desktop view. Scroll all the way down to "track order" under "account"
Yeah. Call em. Pretty sure they shut their live chat down. Tried 2 days in a row and said they had high volume, try again later or leave a message.

I'm same as you, but ordered 64gb graphite on 10/20. Credit card was charged 2 days after. Web site indicated shipping early November. Still says processing. With the free shipping Huawei provides, I'm not expecting the phone until at least mid November.
I did order the Google Nexus case from the Google Store yesterday and it shipped last night lol
I order mine on the 29th using affirm I still haven't received a email on shipping date
Believe it or not, while it hasn't shipped, it let me place an order for the 64GB in Aluminum. This was at 8pm last night. The night before, the phone was out of stock on both there, & Google.

Deliveries delayed by 1 week

PhoneArena has reported that pre-ordered Note 10+ deliveries are being pushed back by one week. I went to check Samsung web page and it's true. Only the black Note is still on schedule for 23rd. I'm hoping that this is simply a demand-supply situation and those of us who have made the early bird reservations will get the phones as promised on 23rd. My pre-order email confirmation says 23rd no updates from Samsung whatsoever.

This is for people that just pre-ordering at the moment. If you pre-ordered early as you mentioned, then you should be fine. I remember when I pre-ordered S10, the story was the same, but since I ordered early, it arrived 2 days prior to the promised date. If I remember the date correctly, it was March 8 when the phone would be delivered, but Samsung shipped it on Monday, March 4th and I got it on the 6th. I am hoping for the same story with Note 10, where Samsung would ship the phones on the 19th and I would get it by 21st
That's right, I remember the hype related to S10, I was ordering, canceling and reordering again. Went from S10+ to S10(returned, couldn't stand the fp sensor) and settled down w/ S10e, great phone - just little bit to small for reading ebooks. Ended up getting it very late because of that. They(marketing people) know how to make people go crazy
Mine still says Aug 23rd. Hoping for an earlier arrival! I've been tempted to call Samsung to see if they could switch my phone order for another color, but have been nervous about screwing anything up and it gets here late.

Even if you call, Samsung may not do it and will tell you to "cancel and reorder". I wanted to make a simple change to my S10 pre-order back in March, but the rep told me the above
I pre-ordered mine from T-Mobile, Aura Glow 256gb Note10+ right when pre-orders opened. Still says estimated shipping is Aug 23. BTW why isn't there a mega thread for US models like there are for UK, Canada, etc?
Such an "Apple" thing to do. Hold back stock, then report there is such demand that devices are delayed in shipping. UGH
As of right now (Aug 14th,2019) Sprint shows only one delay and that's the 512gb Aura Black version of the note 10 + so, here's to hoping
