B&H shipped mine. They're good guys.

B&N you mean? Those were by far the most confirmed cancellations I've seen in this thread... but to their credit at least they have informed the people about the cancellation, most other stores didn't have the courtesy to even do that yet.

B&H is a different retailer, located in NYC.
 
So looking back through the thread, I have a nagging feeling that those of us who ordered from onSale a quarter after 5 EDT and later yesterday are probably screwed. That's the first time it was mentioned as being sold out, despite being inexplicably "restocked" a minute or two later, which it continued to do for another hour or something. The pessimist in me thinks those later sales were made in error, and will probably be cancelled.

FYI, I ordered at 5:23, so I am probably doomed.

HP Touchpad Inquiries

by OnSale Holdings on Monday, August 22, 2011 at 4:29pm


Thank you for calling to inquire about the status of your HP Touchpad order. When the price decrease was announced this weekend, our websites, and the websites of all major retailers, were overwhelmed with customers placing orders for the HP Touchpad. We are now in the process of sorting thru the orders and confirming which ones we can fulfill. Rest assured that we are filling valid orders on a first-come, first-served basis as long as we have inventory. At this time, we do not know if there will be sufficient inventory to fulfill your order. We hope to be able to get back to you on the status of your order in the next 24 hours if not sooner. If you would like to cancel your order, please do so.



Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we deal with this unprecedented event.

I guess i'll try calling Customer Support tmw for HP....it's so lame though, a trade off between getting the shipping fee waived and possibly having my order wiped off the face of the HP earth.
 
"SMB out of stock forever. #unlessmiraclehappens They are fulfilling previous orders they have rec'd as much as possible. But they R tapped."


Fuccckk

But I have an order status page, did I get one in time or not? Dammit.

I ordered it after they said it was out of stock too...

Hopefully sooner. I keep missing these other sites because
I'm not sure if that is going to go through.

I got my order in around 4:10 central.

My HP SMB order just shipped!

At least one of us got it ( i hope you had it shipped to my apartment so i can make sure it works for you)

This might explain why my order # doesn't exist anymore. That datadavis or whatever ebay seller better ship me one or i will leave feedback so snarky he will rue the day he opened shop.

I was at the same stage of the process as you were before I got the shipping notification, so don't give up hope yet.

I ordered about 30 minutes ago and I now have an order status page. And there's NO WAY I'm getting one. I think they're handing out order status pages like candy.

For some reason, I feel this Seinfeld bit is appropriate...
 
That's probably the hold up with orders. HP is loading android on all the $100 touchpads since webOS is the real value.

The stage where your order no longer existed in the status page?

Are you talking about the page you get when you try to look at the associated order number, or the order status page? If it's the former, than I had the same problem, and I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Did you try calling them? I tried to call today and see if I could cancel my order with them.




Sweet, Bestbuy Touchpad will be here tomorrow.
 
Got mine from Amazon, official Amazon, today.

Order status page :( Lol i don't know what's going on. On the order status page you click on "view" to see the details, it used to bring up the normal page showing estimated delivery/address/etc but then it said my Order wasn't in the vista and to call a sales rep, just that one line of text. I just tried to check again and the order status link, just to log in, takes me to a Sorry we can't find that page standard hp webpage. Something is off Xo

Seems like HP got nuked from space.
