Ordered 3 16's and 2 32's, what the hell is wrong with me. Not even reselling. I think this is how women feel when they see sale items in clothing stores. Thinking about buying another...

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to buy these (bestbuy.com) and get them shipped overseas? (specifically New Zealand).
Are the package forwarding companies trustworthy?

I've used myamericanshipper.com several times. I'd trust them, they even give you a big discount on your first shipment.
 
Is these things being in-stock on bestbuy.com a recent development?

Just wondering if an order placed there just now is at all likely to go through. Otherwise I might try around town this morning instead.

Just in case you forgot, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ALLOWED FOR THESE TOUCHPADS
 
Woohoo! One each 16GB and 32GB ordered. Just need to get a touchstone and I'll be in business.

The business of premature obsolescence. Aw, ferchrisssakes Apotheker.

The funny thing is that HP's IT business is for the most part shit. I don't think the future is very bright for HP...
 
Just a heads up, but you can get free Express shipping on Bestbuy.com

Just change the shipping method Standard to Express, and on the checkout page it will show up as free. Just ordered a 16GB for $104.99 shipped.
 
Sad panda.

I got all excited seeing BestBuy took international orders...but they don't deliver internationally! Argh. :(
 
Lol. After all that I get up to take a piss at 6:30 and find out they are on bestbuy.com. Thanks GAF!

Picked one up, hopefully it goes through. Worth playing with at least for 100 bucks.
 
I ordered a 16gb 2 days ago on HP.com but just ordered a 32gb on best buy after realizing the potential of this tablet. I hope there will be some people on GAF that are still looking for the 16gb(not looking to make a profit)

Fuck I could have saved even more! Can I change the shipping method if I call?
 
Used wife's CC, just ordered a second one via BB.com. Awesome, I can give this one to my dad.

Not working for me, did you order more than one?

Are you sure? I just tried it, and it didn't work.

Edit: Nevermind! It worked! Thanks! In for a 16GB one.
 
Ordered another 16GB from Best Buy for my brother. Retailers must've been salivating over the sales this weekend, as it clears it off the shelf and the cost difference is subsidized.

Fuck I fucking cancelled the 16 gig to redo the shipping shit! Ugh can't ship or pickup now..

Wow...That sucks. I almost did the same thing, but figured I'd place the new order first before cancelling the old one. Whew.
 
I need two of these for gifts. I've ordered three so far, but the only one I can count on is the data_vis ebay sale :/

I got in at the tail end of HP SB and BBY -- I think my odds are 50/50 on those. Hope they come through.
 
I've looked into the majority of these deals as they pop up and not a single one ships outside the US.

You guys are so lucky, here in Australia our retailer who stocked the touchpad just pulled it from shelves at the first sign of things going wrong. No deals for us :(
 
I reopened the tab I closed (which was at the final page of the checkout), re-entered CC and changed shipping and submitted the order :/

It's still showing "Please wait while we process your payment and give you an order number", I wonder if it will go through.

Edit: Just received a txt on my phone from the bank that BB charged my card! I guess they'll have to ship me one now? Even though someone said they went OOS before I submitted my order.

Edit 2: Received confirmation email. Buyer's remorse in 4, 3, 2...
 
I didn't get a 16 GB in time so I ordered a 32 GB. After tax, its a little higher than I'd like for an impulse buy. I'm considering cancelling now.

EDIT: I'm just going to return some shoes I bought a couple weeks ago. That should offset the cost difference.
