when did they send you the cancellation notice?
4:34 this afternoon
Dear Valued Customer,
We are writing to you regarding your recent Barnes & Noble order for "HP TouchPad Tablet with 16GB Memory".
Due to unexpected customer demand for this item, our inventory was depleted prior to your order being processed so we are unable to fulfill this item as requested. Consequently, we have canceled your order and you will not be billed for this amount.
You may see an authorization on your credit or debit card for the order, but please be assured you will not be charged. The authorization will be released in accordance with your bank's policies.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience that this may have caused.
Sincerely,
Barnes & Noble
Customer Service

I can always be used as a "bad example"
If you are easily offended please turn that way and cover your ears

Perhaps check your local craigslist for folks like these if you're really serious about snaggin' one. May have to pay a lil' more to make someone a profit but at least ya get one.

Just outta curiosity I checked out the local craigslist ads and sure enough several folks are advertising they have dozens (literally) of HP touchpads for sale. Was wonderin' what happened to all that stock at our local Best Buy stores.

Guess they didn't get the memo

Some third part sellers on Buy.com have some for $400 and up.
That makes as much sense as people paying $200 and $300 on ebay to buy something you couldn't pay them to buy a month ago just because they are now sold out

Office max just told me that they indeed did have them but got an email from corporate to pull them from the shelves...WTH?
I would think that if Office max or anybody purchased the Pads based on the original price, then if they sold them at the new discounted prices that they would take a loss on them? I would think that they need to be compensated in some way?

If anyone ends up with an extra, I would be more than willing to pay reimburse you for your time and gas to mail the tablet...This was going to be the perfect birthday gift for my DD in September.

And I can't even leave public negative feedback on the vendor's page because when they cancelled the orders, they were eliminated from my Amazon account completely, which left me no feedback link. It's as if it never happened. Grrr.
Yeah, what's up with that? No way to leave feedback for a vendor that waited 3 DAYS to cancel an order? Seems unfair.
