Order Shipment status from Motorola Store...

[aohus]

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.

Here is thread

I just spoke with someone from Motorola. He said they are delayed due to high demand and all the orders should ship within 2-4 days (blah). Seemed that he actually might know what he was talking about, idk though.....

I wonder why they put "shipped on Feb. 24th" -- if they were all backed up. I'll gladly wait, a week or two for 200 bucks savings but this is a cluster fk.

You know, I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned this at all, but I'd be willing to bet anyone that during the 25% off window at least somebody must have placed an order for a large number of Xooms (5, 10, 20? who knows?) with the intention of flipping them for profit on eBay. I mean how easy would it be to sell brand-new Motorola Xoom, unopened in its sealed package, completely contract-free, for $799...hell make it free shipping and throw in the free gel case, and they still come out ahead by $200 bucks per unit. There's no way someone didn't do this, and that could be a big part of the shipping delay for all we know.

I had thought that as well but you'd think someone would have gotten one already, I mean someone did order first?

Well no, I mean just in general I would think that if someone had ordered a bulk amount of Xooms then it would have thrown a wrench in the whole thing. But then again, I suppose you're right, they probably still should have gotten *some* out by now. Who knows!

i dont think so and this is why...you dont make 200 at all

say you got the deal and you then sold on ebay for $800, by the time you add ebay fees, paypal fees your cost to ship you will clear a mere $69 give or take a few bucks. unless you already are rich its not worth it and if you are rich then you arent going to do it for the hassle either

Ah ha, good point - the dreaded eBay fees! So maybe only profitable for the guy who sells them for cash underneath his jacket outside of the train station at the shady end of town

I will be going that route with the extra one I scored. Which station do you recommend?

I received the xoom from Fedex about 10:30 ET this morning
the box is not sealed, xoom has film on it
one wired thing is that it says "unit price $599" on the slip, no -200 shown as on the website

 

[diamondsky]

I selected one day shipping
guess you guys will receive yours tomorrow

Good to know you got yours today. Did you ever get a tracking number?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I did 1-day shipping as well. But usually am at the end of the route, about 3-4 is when I get stuff.

Had you received your tracking number prior to the arrival of your xoom?

 

[joeski27]

Had you received your tracking number prior to the arrival of your xoom?

I also went with 1-day shipping, but no tracking number yet, so I'd be curious to know if you received yours sans tracking number notification.

 

[iBowToAndroid]

So the pending charge from the Motorola store has disappeared from my online bank activity.....................

Hopefully that's just because it actually hasn't shipped yet, due to no confirmation email or tracking number, and they'll re-charge me when it actually does ship.

Still showing as shipped, etc. - everyone double check that theirs is still there, and lemme know..

 

[diamondsky]

yes i received a email with the tracking at 1:50 AM

My bank removed the pending charge on Monday. If the pending ordered is not processed within 3 days then your bank will remove the hold. Apparently this is standard procedure.

Thanks for the reply!

Now I know that I won't be getting mine today

Enjoy your Xoom!

 

[marctronixx]

authorization: i think that is right. it has not yet shipped. they just did a hold. thats what happened to the HD dock i picked up from moto. they authorized. it dropped off. it shipped i then saw the debit.

Good to know... Still kinda pissed about this whole let's-display-it-as-shipped-when-it-really-hasn't-been-shipped thing..

 

[Fabolous]

Seems like it is standard procedure for the hold to only last 3 days. Mine disappeared as well, but my Account at the Moto Store still has the purchase confirmed and "Shipped on 2/24"

But from the thread at XDA, it seems like you will get a tracking number when it really ships. So hopefully mine gets sent out today. I ordered the 2 day shipping.


EDIT: since you have your tracking number, care to share where it ships out of? I doubt it's Illinois, but if it is, that's awesome

 

[Mitchrapp]

Moto's probably like "200 dollars off, I'll show them"
