one of the threads on slickdeals

8/23/2011 8:35:18 AM

When is that scheduled for delivery?

8/23/2011 8:48:19 AM

dunno. I'm gonna call at 10 when they open to see if they know anything or when they usually get shipments.

8/23/2011 8:52:55 AM

aw, fail, they approved my order then immediately cancelled it

8/23/2011 8:58:32 AM

My order got canceled.

8/23/2011 9:16:27 AM

hmmm...spreadsheet may be old. Garner's automated message says they don't have any and cary's says the won't be selling anymore.

8/23/2011 9:19:50 AM

mine shipped this morning...

woo hoo

8/23/2011 9:42:59 AM

^ where did you order from?

8/23/2011 9:54:20 AM

On Saturday, Cary had mailed theirs back and took down the display if everything was as it seems. So that it for what it's worth, now they could've lied and all, but it kind of aligned with everything that Best Buy was saying at the time.

8/23/2011 10:03:47 AM

all these slickdeal nerds are so mad that only 1 of their order is going to ship when they ordered 10+ each.

8/23/2011 10:11:59 AM

I just want my one I ordered from HP so that it gets here sometime soon....I'd like it before Memorial day if possible...

8/23/2011 10:16:31 AM

lol. Do you mean labor day?

8/23/2011 10:18:24 AM

surely it'll be here before May

8/23/2011 10:18:59 AM

...

8/23/2011 10:24:09 AM

I was just in Best Buy in Cary and they were handing them to the gang of people that was waiting at the door for the store to open. I dunno if they have any left over though.

8/23/2011 10:24:33 AM

my local BB's phone has been busy for 15 minutes. I wonder if they got more in stock?

8/23/2011 10:34:14 AM

He had a cart full, and only handed out like 5-6 of them. This was just at 10am.

8/23/2011 10:36:06 AM

8/23/2011 10:43:33 AM

I'll head there at lunch... I will be utterly shocked.

Anyone able to buy one today and meet me? ha

8/23/2011 10:46:59 AM

automated message for BB in Cary says they don't have them.

They probably are tired of people calling about them, or they could be sold out. But that's been over an hour ago. I went up there to pick up Deus Ex and the guy was right behind the service counter handing them out.

8/23/2011 11:09:53 AM

you sure those weren't in-store pickups?

8/23/2011 11:15:33 AM

Just called Best Buy and they confirmed that they had some in this morning but are now sold out. They said another truck will be arriving this afternoon with more on it.

8/23/2011 11:15:49 AM

i need to stop looking. ughh

8/23/2011 11:18:14 AM

surferboy, any idea what time the new shipment is coming this afternoon?

8/23/2011 11:20:23 AM

^^^^ Yes I am sure, they had no paperwork, and went to the register and paid for them.

Nothing in garner. Women said they usually get shipments on Wednesday but wasn't sure if there would be any touchpads. Did say a women came in and said she was supposedly able to get one this morning in cary.

8/23/2011 11:21:55 AM

i'm curious how many of these will begin to percolate in the coming weeks after this initial onslaught lets up..

8/23/2011 11:25:18 AM

^^^^ she just said in the afternoon and to check back in a couple of hours.

8/23/2011 11:25:45 AM

Which Best Buy?

8/23/2011 11:42:26 AM

Cary.

8/23/2011 11:43:51 AM

someone go camp out at the cary store and raid the truck if/when it arrives

comment on the best buy spreadsheet

Quote :

"It is a spreadsheet made by a poster that said he was a Best Buy employee last night. he said that he knew BB stores would be getting more this week and that if people told him their store #s, he would look in their system and tell them if their store is getting more this week. The spreadsheet is a result of his researching the stores people asked him about only, not every store in the US"

I called the Cary store. They were NOT pleased that I called to inquire about shipments coming in today. Out right ill to be honest, I know they are getting hammered... a little more open communication may help... not the "we aren't selling them" on the voicemail.

Called HP

their auto message says if you ordered before 4 AM CST on Monday, you will get your order and free shipping. They mentioned that all orders after this deadline would be cancelled.

Im going to wait on hold to determine if they will deduct the shipping cost at time of shipping or what.

"Quote from jrntr : Just got back from a Best Buy that someone earlier said had them....store 147 in cary, nc. After being told they didn't have them, i sat in the parking lot for a few mins and watched 3 employees sneak out to the parking lot with whole cases of them and put them in friends car. Went back in and said i wanted a touchpad and that i know they had them. Tried to say they didnt have any again. I said i saw employees sneaking them out....."oh, well we did get some in today....let me see if we have any left." Of course he came back and said they didnt....how convenient. Said they sold em all earlier. As i was leaving, i saw another employee with another whole case of them. Probably gonna be alot of this going on at stores that do get them."

ha figures

8/23/2011 1:15:03 PM

that's when you whip out the cellphone and take pictures

8/23/2011 1:18:41 PM

That is terrible that they would let their employees do that, that some sort of conflict of interest or integrity I would imagine.

8/23/2011 1:24:13 PM

I would've snapped pictures and sent to corporate of Best Buy saying, you don't give me touchpad, I'm saying your company is engaging in insider trading/selling of products to its own employees and not the public like it's supposed to be. Won't get anywhere, but would be fun.

8/23/2011 1:26:34 PM

attn other B&N orderers: do you still have a pending charge on your CC and still have the order listed on your order page as Not Yet Shipped?

i'm all
