[INFO] US Retail Availability (for Updates on Preorders and Purchasing) - Eee Pad Transformer General

I thought it might be a little easier to create a single thread regarding preorders/availability rather than sifting through the threads detailing the release.
UPDATE: nxt has provided a very useful link that tracks inventory at most/all of the stores listed below http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/ (Thanks nxt!)

Sorry about that. It took me a while to type it up, check all the sites, and I kept getting rejected for links even though I took them all out. I had checked right before to see if there were any similar threads and there were none.
Anyway, I'm almost up to my required 8 posts and then I should be able to fix the mess.

Thanks for taking your time typing it up tineras and welcome to XDA

Offtopic: Just found out you can drag and drop bookmark folders from Firefox into here and it pastes all the bookmarks!!

I actually like this newly created thread over the other one. Good work OP. This gets to the point & less to go through

If anyone is using Firefox you can use the extension updatescanner to check each tab for changes
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-scanner/
I have it checking all the sites every 10 minutes

Called Datavision and at first was told I could preorder it but then was transferred to a sales guy that said I couldn't but he took my name and number and said he would call me.. I know for sure they will. They are local to me and I've been in there. Those sales guys there are like vultures.. He will call me before the thing hits the floor just to make his commission

Its weird everytime 1 ore 2 scans of bestbuy.com it list 4 Honeycomb tablets (instead of 3) and 5 10.1" tablest (instead of 4)
so they are starting to change the site but its not being permanent it seems

Thank you for your diligence! I'm guessing the floodgates will open soon.

Good thread. Should get interesting soon....
Which ones don't have a restocking fee?
I think Amazon and BB for starters...
Does anyone know if I can use accumulated RZ certificates to buy Amazon GC?

It says in stock and shipping from CA. I guess they have them already, how else could Newegg ship them for launch day? Its also very rare to see Newegg restrict purchases to QTY 1.

I gave in too! Overnight shipping. I'll just throw a memory card in there.
I'm sure this is a canned response, but I got this when I ordered:
"WHILE NEWEGG CANNOT GUARANTEE SAME DAY SHIPMENT FOR ALL ORDERS, WE WILL PUT FORTH OUR BEST EFFORT TO SHIP THIS ORDER ON 4/22/2011, OR YOUR RUSH ORDER PROCESSING FEE WILL BE REFUNDED."
If ALL CAPS is any indication, NewEgg is yelling at me. But I'll let it slide this time.

Would be nice if they say when it would ship.

[INFO] Asus Transformer now on sale at AAFES (military)

US Military and vets can now order the 16GB and 32GB Transformer from AAFES Online. I just placed my order for the 32GB model.
I didn't see any docking stations or docking station bundles listed on the site.
omg lol I have a friend who can order it for me but I have $500 amazon gift card and was hoping to buy it there to avoid tax...
I believe AAFES are also tax free, aren't they? I may just get it there... Do you know the estimated ship date?

AAFES is tax free and free shipping. They are not very good with correctly estimating ship dates. When it is direct from vendor they say it will ship within 7 days but my past orders have all shipped before that so who knows.

16GB is $420
32GB is $495
These prices are a bit higher than the announced pricing but with tax free and free shipping, it didn't stop me from ordering.

My estimated ship date is 4/22. I have received items from AAFES before the estimated ship date so I am hopping that this will be the case for this purchase as well.
Just jumped in this forum and saw this tread. If I live I'm the US and order does anyone now the ETA?
Been dying to get one of these
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I hope you are right a early delivery will be just find for me. I had a Viewsonic G-TAB but sold it so I can get the Asus Transformer.
Has any one received an update on there orders? Mine say shipping 04/24/2011
I ordered the 32gb on saturday and have not received a ship date yet. Only sent to supplier. Does anyone know who their supplier is?

Past experiences with ordering this type of thing from AAFES Online, the vendor has been the manufacturer. This has been the case when I ordered a Dell Netbook and an HP tablet.
Still no update on status. My original email said it would be shipped on Friday (4/22). If it is Asus, perhaps they are holding shipment until official release?
Has anyone used AAFES Online price matching *after* making a purchase? I have used their price matching before purchasing and had no issues. I didn't see anything in the terms about when this had to be completed though.
"The Exchange Catalog and Exchange Online Store will match a lower price (including shipping and handling) on any identical stock assortment item currently available for sale and delivery in the customer's area from a local retail store's online site."
**UPDATE**
I just called AAFES and they said they would match the price + shipping of a local retailer AFTER the purchase. So if the retail stores are carrying this at the rumored price, you will be entitled to a refund of the difference.
That's nice, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks What I don't get is that my order say's its going to ship on a Sunday¿ 04/24/2011

Preorder on bestbuy.com

Preorder page is updated on bestbuy.com now but it not quite functional yet. Looks like they're in the middle of adding the 4 sku numbers for 16/32gb grey/white.

Has anyone tried to call and preorder. Tired of hitting refresh lmao
Does it ship internationally?
Yeah, and so much for the rumors that the price might be revised to compete with the Transformer. Fail for me.
Pre-Order just worked for me...Or at least it went through.

Also available to preorder at Tigerdirect + a few accessories (keyboard dock and leather book case)
Preordered. Now we wait
Best Buy requires US credit card
No in store pickup option..... I would rather not wait for shipping if they're available on release day in store! what to do - what to do...
preordered from TD. With the TF they delivered on release day, so keeping my fingers crossed. Now to sell off the TF + dock!!
What the point to pre-order this when the est. arrival date is 06/17-06/24/2011
by that time other retailers will have it and Amazon will probably have it and ship next day for $4 more or 2 day Free Prime and no tax for me. Can't believe they don't include the MicroSD slot. I'd like to get one for the fun of it.
Amazon now have it up for pre-order. No mention of colour but images show it as the grey model. This is the green light for you guys outside the US!

You have to use a forwarding / shipping service like BongoUS, shipitto, myus etc. Amazon is one of the few to play friendly with foreign credit cards and billing addresses.
On the german Amazon website the 3G modell can be preordered (black and white).

Allright, I just registered with BongoUS ... Looks good from what I see and read.

It is the grey model on Amazon. You can tell by the Model #: GT-P7510MAVXAB. I looked on Best Buy website and it matches the grey model #. The MAY is the 16gb and the MAV is the 32gb in the model #.

Google Nexus 7 16gb free shipping $241.5, delivery 7/12-17

Staples is sold out but you might still get the coupon for future use
Been looking around and not sure if this is the BEST deal but this is the best I could find.
First get this Staples coupon: (you pay $7.5 for $15 gift card)
$7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card
Then Staples hasthe pre-order for the 16GB version with free shipping:
Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)
Once you add the order into the cart, you'll see it says expected delivery is 7/12-17. You can apply the gift card at the checkout for a net of $7.5 saving.
Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.
Additional note: I found the coupon through bigcrumbs.com For those who doesn't know about this site, it's the 100% legit cash back site supports tons of vendor online. Below are the available cash back it offers for the vendors that sells Nexus 7:
Office Depot - up to 4.2% you can use following free item coupon (not sure if you can combine them all)
336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit
823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies
156437297 - Free Mystery Gift
595897257 - $15 Gas card
Adorama - up to 2.8%
GameStop - up to 3.5%
Walmart - up to 2.8% cashback (crrently pre-order only)
MacMall - up to 2.8% cashback
If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.
Again, if you want to get cash back, you must sign up with bigcrumbs.com and find vendor in the site and go through its own links.

I am not associated with bigcrumbs but thought online shoppers might benefit from this place.
Edit:
Just found out bigcrumbs also have 2.8 cashback from Adorama.com which also has the nexus 7 for pre-order.

Just remember that if you have a Staples in your state you have to pay taxes.
This deal would still cost me about 270$
yea tax is the big killer.. but at least free shipping. too bad I missed out on the J&R deal someone else posted.
Staples' expected delivery date is interesting. Not sure if this implies delivery for all pre-orders or this is for Staples only.
Cool find, i would be buying a Nexus 7 since i no longer want android phones
We're so spoiled in Oregon, no Sales Tax and it's against the law for us to pump our own gas, we have to sit and let the attendants do it for us.
Thanks for the finds!
You really could have mentioned that it takes them 24 hours to generate the coupon code and it's not an instant ordeal.

Anyone pre-ordered Nexus 7 from Staples.com ?
I am seeing this in my order status.
We're sorry, but problems with your order may prevent us from delivering it on time.
That is probably because Google told everyone to wait until they said so
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
this last minute hold is messing up those vendor's check out process. The word is most places will start taking new per-order and shipping again next week.
Updated some free item coupon on 1st page you can use on your office depot order.
walmart is starting the pre-order as well with less than $1 shipping. see 1st post for details.
For those asking if you still get the $25 google wallet credit the answer is YES :good:
Staples is now taking orders on the website with 2 day delivery, you can also locate stores that have it in stock, but call the store first as the store I tried today said they weren't allowed to sell until next week (probably Monday) even though they have them in stock.
If "you" work for Walmart you can get 10% off, and you can pay when pickup at Walmart now s mabey preorder and pay when pickup at site to store
