Eee Pad on sale at Target $360

[jerrykur]

Didn't I read that Amazon's first batch came from Target too? Pretty sure I did.

Amazon acts as a store front for themselves and many other etailers. In the case of the Eee pad Amazon.com, LLC sold some and when those were exhausted the site automatically switched to Target and other etailers. The orders through Amazon.com, LLC are not taxed unless you live in a few states where Amazon.com has a domicile (Washington, Nevada, and one or two others). Also, if you have Amazon Prime 2 days shipping is free for Amazon.com, LLC items, but not through Target and other etailers.

I ordered my Eee Pad and dock/keyboard through Amazon.com, LLC so I don't have to pay tax and get the free 2 days shipping. My units came to $399 and $149 delivered.

Thanks to the OP for finding this code!

If you want to upgrade to 32GB, check this out:

Fry's HP 16GB microsSD Class 4 Card $17.99

It is only a Class 4 but it would tide you over and you are still less than $399.

A Class 10 32GB is more like $85 would put you at 48GB.

I tried to order from Target with the $40 off promotion code. It doesn't apply now. :-(

I just cancelled my order on Target, I already had one on Amazon and I didnt want to be greedy!

Thanks, the $40 Target coupon code just worked for me too! I now have it ordered from Target and Amazon and will cancel from whoever is the slowest!

It no longer work for me. I originally ordered 2 and got $80 discount. I just tried to order an additional one and it refused to let me get the discount. I guess it limit to 1 order per customer.

Great deal.....thanks for the heads up!

After taxes and shipping it came out to just over $400, so for some Amazon would still be cheaper with no tax/free shipping.

No. Amazon quickly sold out - with Prime, you got the unit with 2 day shipping and no tax for $399. Target was listing as a secondary retailer for $399 plus tax plus shipping. This $40 "discount" is to essentially match Amazon's price sans tax.

I just ordered from HH Greg.com and it is supposed to ship today or tomorrow. The guy said they got 45 in and I am scheduled to get one.

I did the same and even called them after the order was placed to double check it was in stock and they said yes and it will be shipped tomorrow

Now to cancel my Amazon order.

So, basically...when I get around to ordering one in a few weeks, there's going to be a slight surplus because demand has been inflated by people placing orders for 2x-3x more devices than they intend to keep. Good to know...

:hides:

Edit: perhaps this passes for normal behavior 'round here

 

[fuzzylemurs]

Awesome, thanks guys - Ordered one too; currently calling to verify ship within 24 hours.

*Update - Got ahold of customer service, she verified that my order will ship and that they are down to less than 10 in stock after my order... GO GO GO!!

 

[garyhesq1]

Got one from HH Greg. Thanks OP! I have to pay tax and shipping so it's more than getting it through my Amazon order but oh well. I will cancel that one. A phone call confirmed I will have it by the end of the week. They are now all gone from there. None left!

 

[nelsontx]

Me too!

Just ordered one as well from HHGregg.com! saweet!

Any ideas where I can get a dock?

JR today said that they got 15 in today and are expecting around 15 more on Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed that they're getting close to me

 

[fuzzylemurs]

I just cancelled my order with JR - so you guys are up at least 1 notch on the waiting chain

That's weird, I just called JR before I posted that and the rep I talked to said she had no way of telling if the were getting any in or no way to get advance notice of a shipment...Some one is not passing out all the information to their reps, or else I just got a LAME one!........
