$99 HP Touchpad

[dodukes]

In all honestly what do you expect. I tried from 8:30-9:30 AM. Started reading online (slickdeals) the answers people were getting. Pretty much standard script answers (heard management having meeting and reviewing orders, etc). Everyone who slammed the site last night and got that message is trying to get through. I have the unable to process but no cancellation but holding out no hope that it will arrive. Someone on SD or FW said something about existing customers not being cancelled yet...IDK if that is BS or truth. I am existing customer but still not holding out much hope.

I expect to be allowed to wait if I wanted to not to be told, too many calls and be hung up. I think thats crappy.

I got the unable to process your order status on BN.com but when I call they just hang up on you saying the call volume is too large. What a crappy customer service!!

Yeah, I thought that was pretty crappy. Not even an option to hold on the line for an hour and listen to elevator music.

On an up note I called HP today to ask if my order from yesterday went through and they said yes! He said I should get a confirmation in about 72 hours and that the shipping charges will come off.

How long did it take you to get through to hp and what number did you call? I was trasnferred five times over the course of an hour and finally gave up because I had to leave.

I guess I'll have to check throughout the day - ordered mine from HP about 11 am yesterday (Sunday), but haven't received a confirmation email, and my account hasn't been charged. I do have an order number, though. I was thinking about this yesterday -- I know NOTHING about these, and think I'm going to have a heavy learning curve. But I'm up to the task!

I did the same thing yesterday. Hopefully we will get them. My shipping date is 8/23 ---Good luck

I did a search for small business order status and went to that page and there was a number on there. I got through immediately. NO waiting. Edited to add: I believe this is the number 888-728-9985.

Also, that said... Walmart has OFFICIALLY lowered prices. If your local Walmart was refusing to lower the price you might want to go in. They are holding two for me until I get off work, since I have been bugging them for two days, LOL. If I see anymore left when I get there I can try to pick them up for members here.... If anyone is interested....

I'll let you know. There are four hours until I get off work. GRRRR.... If only my husband weren't asleep. LOL (He works nights)

i got an email saying they are still going through to confirm order emails and that

"Be assured that your order has been captured. You should receive an automated order confirmation in the next 24-72 hours."

I hope this is what i think it means

I got that too...BUT I didn't think my order took. Never got confirmation page so it shows 2 from HP that approved and being sent to order management when I pull up online. On hold to see if it actually means it will be fulfilled. In the meantime I have order with OnSale from Amazon last night...not knowing I possibly had 2 thru HP. THEN to top it off order at BN.com still just sitting and not cancelled. In all honesty IF all these go thru by a miracle they will be sold at face value thru husbands work. I am not out to make money....just not holding breath on any of them coming thru. Know BN.com is having major cancellations and ones b4 mine were cancelled...but I have never gotten cancellation email or anything. Know the are bombarded with calls and emails!

I also put in a order yesterday. Do you know if they are automatically taking the shipping costs off all orders of TP? Or do I have to call and ask?

I got a confirmation page but i too am still waiting to see if i will actually get one especially since my order was right around 2 when it started to change to sold out but i also did the the one at amazon from onsale so hoping one of them go through and my mom has already said she wanted if i get both.

He said they will be automatically be removing shipping charges. There is no need to call.

OK, so now that I am picking one up from a B&M store after work, where do I get apps? LOL I can't find the Web OS store. I know there is one because I accidentally came across it yesterday... I NEED facebook on this thing. LOL

 

[speakupjc]

Does anyone know here I can get one? I have searched all websites with links that anyone has posted but it keeps saying $399+. Thanks!

We went to Walmart to get DD's graphing calculator and I asked about the Touchpads...he said they sold out in 5 minutes and it was a mob scene (we live in a fairly small town too).

My order at HP now states approved! YAY!

That's funny. Everytime I go in they are still on the shelf and no one is looking at them. Someone did call while I was talking to the manager yesterday to ask about them.

Have you called other Walmarts in your area? Seems like they would all have the same price cuts. If they still have them on the shelf there's still hope!

 

[Friendly Frog]

If anyone near Dallas purchased an extra one I would be willing to drive 75 miles, pay cash plus a small premium for your time and trouble.

 

[Carina]

I am sooo bummed - I got a confirmed order on staples and they just email me that they are sold out but " don't worry" my C Card will not be charged

I could just cry I was soooo excited to have an awsome B day present for my soon to be 16 year old. She has no cell phone, shares my computer and even uses a 4 year old MP3 player, this would have sent her over the moon!
