And gone:
The quantity of the item you requested could not be added to your cart.
You requested 1, however, this item is currently out of stock.

I went through again to see what you see. I got the same message, but went to checkout anyway and it still shows a 12-22 delivery date.

Yeah, I just called and they say they are out and don't know when it will be back in stock. Thanks for the info though!

 

[whitenack]

Rats. Sorry. However, that is initial response they gave me too (that it was out of stock and didn't know when it would be in), until I gave them my order number and they said it would be delivered on time. Those of us that are desperate for a delivery before christmas may want to take the chance and see how it turns out. I have 3 or 4 orders outstanding from various places right now just hoping one of them hits. Haha!

This one didn't say Prime though. Is it the Prime or the old tablet?

TF201 is the Prime.

Just got an update on my order from Office Depot yesterday. It has supposedly shipped with delivery on Friday.

Just placed my order, order page and confirmation email stated estimated delivery date of 12/23/11. I just shot an email to their customer service to get confirmation on color, and if the 23rd is a realistic date. The item is currently showing on back order - we'll see!

Thanks for the tip.

Did they answer your color question? I'm thinking of trying this route as well.

customer service confirmed amethyst Grey, but could not confirm the 23rd. it seems that everyone ordering from office depot is getting Grey as a color response. hope this helps!

Just checked my order online and the status now says "in the warehouse". Hopefully ill get a shipping notice soon.

 

[hyrulejedi86]

So are these able to be ordered even though it says backordered on thier webpage?

 

[whitenack]

Yes. You click "future delivery" and go on to checkout.

 

[whitenack]

Just got a shipping confirmation!

 

[hyrulejedi86]

I just ordered it at office depot and it said estimated delivery was 12/23/2011. Now I just need to await my shipping confirmation to see if I really will get my Christmas gift after all!

Thanks a lot for posting this!

Just got a shipping confirmation!

Awesome! I keep checking my email hoping to see mine.

I haven't gotten an email yet. I am just going by what I see online under my order status. It says it is 'in the warehouse' and it has a link to view the packing slip.

Sheesh - I'll throw my experience into the mix here (I'm starting to lose track of which forums I've posted in!).

I just placed an order about a half hour ago for fun (since my Amazon 64GB order isn't supposed to ship until January 5th) - just to see what would happen.

My order status hasn't changed online yet - but I went ahead and initiated a chat with a very friendly Pheona. She seems to be under the impression that my order should be delivered on 12/23 between 8-5. I'm not going to hold my breath (as the item is showing that it is backordered) - but maybe I'm near one of those drop-shop warehouses people are talking about (I live in Chicago) - so I'll keep hope alive.

When I ordered it - I did order it as a "future delivery" - in case that makes any difference...

 

[hyrulejedi86]

I looked at my order page mine still says "waiting backordered items"

If I knew my 64gb were coming the first week of Jan I might not have ordered it but my amazon page still says they need more time to determine a ship date...
