I bought my Motorola Xoom as part of that discount on the Motorola store website but I wanted to start a topic for those of us that did to figure out when everyone starts receiving theirs.
I am excited about getting my Xoom as I am sure that everyone else is too. So I was thinking that everyone might be able to help each other out by letting people know when they receive theirs in the mail.
Mine says on the website that it shipped February 25th but I have not received any information yet on a tracking number.
I ordered using that discount as well. I've been keeping an eye on the thread at XDA. A few people stated that motorola CS said the xooms will be shipped on Friday (which looks like that didn't happen) or Monday.
Maybe i am blind but where is their a 25% discount on moto website for this tabby?
It happened on Thursday. Someone from XDA posted a code online that allowed some people to get the xoom at a 25% discount. The code no longer works. I think it was approx. a 3-hour window. It was talked about on here as well. The thread is now locked.
Device(s): Droid Incredible 2, Razr Maxx HD (Soon).
Carrier: Not Provided
Thanks: 46

I thought I saw at a brief time it was shipped the 24th but I can't find it any longer. Delivery says 28th-1st. The money is pending in my bank account or at least it was last night. Find out soon enough, long weekend
Mine says shipped 24th but no tracking number. So I do not believe has shipped but in process somehow. I am impatient but happy about the 25% discount and free case.
tomorrow you guys should get track numbers. the units were released to shipping. they will scan them, give them a track number and they will be on their way...
Thank you so much for the update. I still keep checking my account status on the Motorola Store website at least 3 times a day. I am very excited about this. Will keep you posted. Still no tracking number but says shipped February 25th.
Same here- says shipped on the 24th, no tracking number yet, estimated delivery March 2-7
Edit: Was in such a hurry to grab one before they yanked the code that I didn't even see the free shipping offer. So I paid $4 for standard instead of getting free 2-day. Missed out on the free case too lol #fail oh well

I just called Motorola and they said that my discounted XOOM was being processed today, and should be delivered to me either tomorrow or the next day.
And what day did it originally say your order shipped? 24th or 25th? And what shipping method did you select? Just trying to compare it to mine to get a ballpark idea; mine shows the 24th as the shipped date and I went with 1-day shipping.

They didn't tell me when mine was shipped. I ordered mine over the phone to get the discount, so I am not able to see any information about the order online. All I know is that the order takes 1-2 business days to process, which means that today is the second day for processing. Which means it should ship today. Once it does ship, he told me I should receive the tracking number.
As a little side note. Since we did all order the same tablet within, at most, three hours of each other, it would make sense that we receive our XOOMs on the same day. It looks like tomorrow might be that day, so please post here right when you receive yours!
If this is anything like the last item (an accessory) I ordered from the Moto store with 2-day shipping, we should get shipment confirmation e-mails the day after we receive the actual shipment. It seems like there may be a slight disconnect from the order status system and the actual status.

Well I'd say that is true, except not all of us used the same shipping method. While many used the 2-day, I for one went with the 1-day, so those with the 1-day should get theirs first, yes?

I would think so. Although, when I get 2-day shipping, the package usually comes during the 1st day. If that is the case, I feel bad for the people you wasted $14 on the 1-day shipping. I guess we will find out tomorrow...
I just got off the phone with motorola to check the status of my xoom that "shipped" on 2-24 via 1 day shipping. After 20 minutes of holding, she checked with a "supervisor" and said that it will ship out today via FedEx.
Also, if you are one of the people who didn't read the "must add to cart" text for the free case, you are SOL as well.
American call centers would be nice.....

Hey the way I looked at it, I didn't even give shipping costs a thought when placing this order considering how much money I was saving. Got the Xoom, dock, folio, silicone case, and car charger, with shipping, for $65 less than what I was planning to spend that night at BBY for the Xoom alone! (plus no data plan cancellation to worry about). Hell I would have dropped $20 or $30 on shipping for that deal, lol.

Thats true. I still can't believe we got that deal!
I am totally jealous of the people that got in on the deal. I'm really glad someone was able to buy the xoom at a price that makes sense.
I am sad to report that as soon as the final price was released I bought an ipad. Xoom is too much$. Not the same but I did violate it (jailbreak) and have my way with cydia.

Got an email that stated it would ship tomorrow. The people on the phone stated it would ship friday or monday. Back on the phone and she does not even know when it will ship. She first stated the 3/2 so I would get it by 3/7 since its 3-5 business days. Waiting for a supervisor now.
So def not shipping today. She stated it would ship tomorrow which I highly doubt too. She also could not explain why the website shows shipped yet they show that it has not.

Yep, I got the same run around and scripted responses!
amazing. perhaps they did get a lot of orders and its causing a back log? id like to see the numbers of units sold since thursday thru the weekend and how many were direct from moto...

If that's the case, the people that chose one-day shipping should be receiving theirs today - even without a tracking number.
I hate to complain, but this is getting a little ridiculous - no tracking number, no REAL ETA, and the order statuses have not changed since Thursday (3/24).
Just FYI. Some folks at XDA have gotten their tracking numbers. There are over 100 over there (and counting) that got the deal, and only three or four so far have their tracking numbers.
I have not gotten mine yet, but I'm being patient. Since I know people are getting their orders, I can breathe a little easier now.
Moto has a lot to learn about retail sales channels especially in the communication and customer service areas. For years they depended on wireless companies to handle everything and wireless companies were pretty horrible because they controlled the entire wireless food chain. Moto needs to make some major adjustments. The whole Xoom launch has been an odd bird. Love the Xoom but makes you wonder about your investment.
Still no tracking for me either and I am tired of calling customer service in India.
Now here is something to think about can you imagine sending in your tablet for the 4g upgrade. Seems it could get lost in black hole of India customer service dept. The thought of 6 days going by and having to call these guys makes me sweat.

Say 1,000 got the deal. That is about $200,000 impact to their bottom line. Motorola could be trying to figure out how to accrue for loss and spread into the Q2 P&L, rather than eat it all in Q1.
Not seeing how this panned out very well for whoever was supposed to proof test the discount. Somebody in their customer service, or sales & marketing may be the fall-person for this. I hope you all can sleep well....
Order Shipment status from Motorola Store...
still anxiously waiting.
