Just ordered one from Office Depot with a 1/3 delivery Even spoke with customer service to verify that the item was in fact going to arrive- it's listed as a non-backordered item. Charged and everything.

No color is listed on the site- the rep said "silver"- which I'll pray means grey.

Run run! This happened yesterday, and I sat with it in my cart for 5 minutes, and suddenly they were out of stock.
 
Thanks for the tip KDLMaj! Here is the link I used:
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF201 Tablet 32GB by Office Depot

I was a little nervous that they never use the word "Prime" on the page, but the product number is TF201-B1-GR, so I am expecting a grey Prime.

Also, the estimated delivery in my cart said 1/3, but in the confirmation email it said 1/9. I called customer service and the rep said she would email the customer resolution center asking them to deliver on the 3rd. We'll see if that actually happens or not...

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Office Depot. They said they can't get it to me by the 3rd because the only warehouse with stock is in Arizona (I'm in Florida). So I will be getting mine the 9th. It looks like there is still some stock, so people on the west coast may still be able to order one and get it quick.

I'm curious- how did you know it was grey? My product number didn't specify a color- where did you find that information?

Under Product Information, it gives the Manufacturer # of TF201-B1-GR. The GR means Grey, CG would mean Champagne Gold. C1 instead of B1 would mean 64GB and 101 instead of 201 would mean the original Transformer. Here is the link to the Amazon page...if you play with the options you can see how the product code changes.

Yeah, I get that part. But where in your Office Depot order did you see the full product code? I only see TF201 in the webpage and in the e-mail.

UPDATE: OOOOOOOH, somehow I magically missed it when looking at the webpage- even though I scanned that info like four times. Thank god I ordered the grey one!

I ordered 1 last night and they stated they had about 37 left. I wish I knew about this code I noticed just tonight:

ASUS Transformer Prime 32GB Now Available At Office Depot

I gave it a shot and called back anyways. The code, (when entered on website), allows you to choose from a bunch of free items...that they don't have available. Only 1 out of the 16 items is available and had the worst ratings. Lol Either way. I'm just glad I found this post. I was going nutz trying to find one. Jan 5th couldn't come anytime faster..

*waits for someone to buy his brand Ipad 2 off of craigslist now*

If you ordered from Office Depot, you may want to check on your order. They sent confirmation emails, with delivery date of the 3rd. It did not show up, so I started calling. They put a hold on the order, claiming a credit card issue. There was no issue with the card, they simply canceled the order and weird, now they do not have them in stock...
I suggest checking on your order!
Then, the lady on the phone says she can get one in the other color, I asked for the item number. Yup, she tied to sell the "same" item, lol...TF101

Your right. My date says the arrival date is the 5th and I just checked my bank account and it shows my payment is still in process. Is it possible for them to send the Prime and not even had posted the money yet?? what kind of f@!kery is this? The customer service there is horrible btw...

Beyond horrible! My company has done a lot of business with Office Depot, mainly by myself, I am the purchaser. Not anymore, they have lost my business.

Was your order confirmation, (when typing in tracking info), online still showing it was scheduled on the date it was supposed to arrive? Because mine is. I chatted with them online and of course they sent me another confirmation saying the 5th. Seems like some generic bs..I'm going to be pissed because I sold my Ipad 2 and could of bought a Prime for $525 off craigslist but figured I'd give Office Depot a shot..

This is crazy! I just checked my bank account and it shows the payment that was in process yesterday is now canceled even though the website tracking info shows. Either I have a free Asus Prime arriving today or my order was canceled as well. I hope it IS FREE after dealing with this crap..

Btw does anyone know how to find out how it was shipped, (UPS, Fed or Office Depot) and how to get real tracking info instead of the generic reply, ("we use a 3rd party" reply)??
