sc98mel Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Got my first one from Best Buy.com today! Pretty cool, and really surprisingly good sound from it. I'm looking forward to using it for an ereader, and Pandora too:)
nat1jen Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Just got off the phone with amazon. Customer service was no help. Usually, amazon will bend over backwards to help with an issue, but this rep wasn't the most helpful. She did say that they have a "team" looking into the problem and the vendor just had too many orders. OK, they had too many orders, but why did they wait 3 days to cancel an order? I was actually supposed to receive the tablet tomorrow (or at least that was the first delivery date listed on my confirmation). I am so disappointed with amazon and its reseller. I guess I put too much trust in amazon b/c I thought they would stand behind the reseller. Lesson learned.
spater Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Well I am still waiting on an email from B&N to cancel my order. After 3 days of calling the phone number I found when I checked order status I got past the "Due to extremely high call volume... Try your call again later disconnect" I got through to an animated "Your order has been cancelled" I hate automated F you messages. Lots of people could use a job why do machines have them all?

Should have been a system in place to kill orders if they knew it was oos. Reminds me of trying to by a wii a few years ago but at least then i didn't get burned nor been po'd at the process. I'm contemplating to adding them to my banned list for a while
elite2058 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 You may want to check the inventory at your local bestbuys. I just saw that a couple of mine near me have them in stock. They open at 10am here.
Kim3498 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Did HP sell them during the night?Not sure....I checked last night at 2:00 am (Eastern Standard), and status said coming soon. Now there is an Out of Stock button.
godwinlt Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I looked a 3:30CST and the site said unavailable and at 5:00 it was sold out.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I think you have to go into these deals like playing the lottery, even when the order goes through. Mine from B&N was cancelled but I went into it knowing that it probally would be. On a side note I had a frozen HP touchpad last night....it rebooted fine and I installed the updates which are supposed to help with freezes so just a heads up to do that first thing when you get yours.....I have frozen my Kindle and Ipad many times so I knew not to panic and found the instructions on how to unfreeze it quickly.
freesia39 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I looked a 3:30CST and the site said unavailable and at 5:00 it was sold out.I have no chance on the west coast, damnit.

Stowasser Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I looked a 3:30CST and the site said unavailable and at 5:00 it was sold out.Either they sold out or maybe they are prepping the site for selling. I am seeing that some of the cancelled orders from HP are being filled

mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 How accurate is the BB tracker, it says there are some in my sisters town and although I dont talk to her much I am thinking of calling her. I searched the whole state

momof3luvs1 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Just spoke with all 3 stores that are within 1-2 hours away from me,,, said that the best buy tracker is not up to date n none had any..I have been trying all day to get one of these =P cant believe Amazon is doing NOTHING about onsales thousands of cancelled orders!
mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I have heard the tracker is not an instant update, but only updates every so often so dont think of it as perfect and also I wouldnt trust anyone on the phone to check stock, PITA I know but its true.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) don't yell at me if orders get cancelled .... go into it thinking they most likely will...I ordered the 3 I needed, fingers crossed. https://usm.channelonline.com/launchpad/storesite/Products/index.co?id=M007386267 ETA: I know absolutely NOTHING about this site. Edited August 25, 2011 by mom2monkiesx3
speeddiva Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 don't yell at me if orders get cancelled .... go into it thinking they most likely will...I ordered the 3 I needed, fingers crossed. THANKS! Ordered 2 of the 16g for the boys for Christmas. Hopefully, they show, if not, oh well.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 No biggie, they have been up and in stock for sometime now so I am not too optimistic...but they don't charge until shipment so no loss either way. APPARANTLY I ordered 6 not 3 because DH saw them too....OYE! And he figured the kids needed the 32GB. I am not worrying about it yet since I am not being too optimistic but I am LMAO because Dh never orders/find deals The one time....!!! But I couldnt say anything when he called because he was so proud and excited. HAHA
momof3luvs1 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 don't yell at me if orders get cancelled .... go into it thinking they most likely will...I ordered the 3 I needed, fingers crossed. https://usm.channelonline.com/launchpad/storesite/Products/index.co?id=M007386267I ordered one, I have my fingers crossed!!! Thanks SO much for the link!
mom2monkiesx3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 BTW they have the touchpad case down to $13, of course I wouldn't order this unless you already HAVE a TP..I ordered just one for the one I already have.
cinnamon16201 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 don't yell at me if orders get cancelled .... go into it thinking they most likely will...I ordered the 3 I needed, fingers crossed. https://usm.channelonline.com/launchpad/storesite/Products/index.co?id=M007386267Yes, thank you as well! DH really wanted one for books (larger screen than Kindle, etc.) and it's rare that he does that. Definately not going in expecting it, but at least I got to try and not hit with an out of stock right up front.
tlpinson Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Has anyone ordered from this website before? Can't find any customer service phone numbers.
momof3luvs1 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I just called them and they told me they are completely sold out and my order will be cancelled. So I asked why it was still up and she said they were working on taking that down...NOT cool =(
cinnamon16201 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Well that stinks as I ordered after you. Not really happy that now they have my email contact and my credit card info!! Guess I will be watching the charges closely.
dbrhtrswcz Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 The website now reads in the upper right **WE DO NOT HAVE HP TOUCHPADS IN STOCK!!**
