Walmart's Transformer a Different Package?

LunchBB · Apr 27, 2011

All of a sudden, it crosses my mind this way.

- From the official Transformer spec, the weight is 1.5 lbs.
- Walmart's product page is showing the product is 14.33 oz. (Walmart.com: Asus 10.1" IPS Tablet PC, Black/Brown: ARCHIVE SHELF/CAT)
- From my FedEx tracking page, the package is shipping to me is only 1 pound.

So it let me wonder, is Walmart selling a different ASUS tablet???

My order from Walmart also says 1lb. I doubt it is a different tablet to be honest. Maybe that weight includes the keyboard dock also?

LunchBB · Apr 28, 2011

I don't think that's the case. From Amazon, the dock itself alone is 1.4 lbs

Amazon.com: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Keyboard/Docking Station: Electronics

Well, mine is shipped and I will be getting it tmrw. I will find out and report.

I'm still keeping my amazon order just in case =)

Whatever the case, unless you have another package coming that is not the Asus, 1 pound is an error or something else.

bought mine from Walmart as well and it also shows shipping weight at 1lbs. I doubt it's different than the rest, but I also doubt that they could make mistakes on what seems like 3 or 4 shipments from this thread... :thinking:

we'll see, I'm getting the package today, will report back as soon as I get it.

1lb maybe the actual shipping weight of the actual box with the charger and everything.

LunchBB · Apr 28, 2011

But just the tablet itself is 1.5lbs. How could it fit to a box together with charger and everything, bam, it becomes 1 lbs?

hanano17 · Apr 28, 2011

It's probably a typo, you guys will find out soon enough im sure. FWIW the charger is pretty small and the box from amazon was about the size of a box they ship hardcover books.

kampfwolf09 · Apr 28, 2011

duh keep forgetting to convert from mg, maybe they rounded it down? I would think a company like walmart would always round up on shipping weight...who knows

E46M3 · Apr 28, 2011

alright guys, I just received the package and in the middle of setting it up right now. I can tell you, it's not 1lbs. not sure how Walmart scammed Fedex...! it's definitely at least 10lbs or so if not the stated 14lbs. this thing looks sweet!!! looks much better quality than the Acer!!!

LunchBB · Apr 28, 2011

That's good to know! I'm expecting my package today too!

Reverence · Apr 28, 2011

Man, I really wish I paid for the one day shipping now

lol

LunchBB · Apr 28, 2011

It ship with a Fedex Large Box. Shipping label clearly say 1lb.
