While I can accept them being out of control as far as ASUS notifying them about date of delivery, I just don't accept them not notifying their customers that they've got an issue happening. "Hey guys, sorry about this but ASUS isn't getting the tablets to us as quickly as we'd hoped, so we're not gonna have 'em to you on time. Not sure when we will get them to you, but it'll be as soon as we can. Sorry about your luck!" It's really not that tough.

I've never had success getting logistics information from Amazon. And I agree 100%+. While I might be itching for this product like crazy, there is NO WAY I am going to allow these opportunists to profit off of me by paying close to 2x the price of the actual device!

Agreed, its really a shame that with as efficient as Amazon is in selling me other things I didn't ask for, they have no clue as to when they will recieve shipments...

Thanks so much for replying! I ordered mine on March 5th, with a delivery window of March 27th - April 4th. Well today is the 3rd and no notice of shipping yet.

Wow, that sounds cool AND very useful. Sucks you don't have it yet. Lets keep our fingers crossed that Amazon gets a brazillion of them soon!

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

hmm i wonder if Asus is actually building these and sending them out. it seems that Amazon isn't restocking these until there's an order bases on the difference of ship dates depending on when the order is placed.the CSR i talked to said most of the time the item will ship out earlier than it states on the website, crossing my fingers on it ship out before the end of this week..

No actual updates on status yet (ordered June 11); have gotten feedback through email/chat with CSAs that we can expect updates here on the site and receive a notification when the units begin shipping - but no indication that they have any units to ship, or if the product has been released, or when they'll start carrying it. One note suggested shipments might begin "within a month" but not much more than that. I remember the early days of eBay before more robust fraud protection where occasionally you would fall into a communication black hole and then just be left hanging; to be honest, it feels a bit like that.

I seem to have ordered right before it said that. It originally said "ships in 2-4 weeks." Now it says its not available at all straight from amazon. A week later it still hasn't shipped, or more specifically, Amazon doesn't have it yet. After trying to get some answers, it basically comes down to a "it will ship whenever we get it and if you don't like it cancel the order or order it from a merchant" situation. No way I'm ordering anything from merchants, so I'll stick it out a bit longer. They have upgraded my shipping to one-day for all the vagueness and confusion so at least there's something positive.

Are you asking me how to order? i had trouble at first, but I put it my Amazon cart and went to check-out. It will show up in that window and you can get it. I hope this helps you.

Mine did the same when I used the free shipping. My order went to one of their many centers - this center had none in stock. I had to call Amazon and they redirected my order to a warehouse(?) that had them. I should receive mine by 17 Oct. You might try calling them.

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

I placed my order as soon as Amazon had it available as 'Pre-Order'. When the order was placed, my order status was "Not Yet Shipped". As of Thursday, the status has changed to "Shipping Soon"Don't know if that helps, just FYI :)Edit: my order just changed to "shipped" and will arrive Monday!

Nope. Despite ordering from Amazon on 7/4, I haven't gotten my order from them, even though third party sellers got theirs from somewhere. Amazon doesn't even seem to know when they'll get it in stock.

Update. Tracking says shipped twenty days ago from a city 3 Hours away. No contact on amazons part whatsoever. Nice. Sad thing is that this has happened so many times I lost count. I think it is time to short amazon stock as the service quality is gone out the window.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

This is the world at high-speed. From the internet to now travel. However, it seems Amazon.com isn't catching on to it. I myself placed an order on April 29th on a Wednesday and It's now the 5th of May the next Tuesday and my order is still "Not yet Shipped". This is reminding me of a few years back when I ordered a CD from Amazon.com that had initially said 6-9 days Delivery, It took 3 weeks. I've placed orders from other sites such as Newegg.com and ordered a fully customized computer from warehouses nationwide and I've received all applicable parts in under 4 days at the same time. I do believe that Amazon.com is going to lose a customer here. This is the world at high-speed. From the internet to now travel. However, it seems Amazon.com isn't catching on to it.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

I preordered this from Amazon when it became available, and got an e-mail yesterday saying that the expected delivery date was the 13th. Since I picked overnight shipping, I take that to mean that they expect to ship my order by Monday, but obviously can't confirm that this is going to happen.Edit: Like those below, got the order update the day after it should have shipped.
