If you look at their reseller rating, they get on average about 1-2 complaints a month. I think that is great compared to the volume that they probably sell daily. Also you really need to see what they are complaining about as well. Not necessarily shipping or fraud issues.

-Up to date information about shipments on this thread. Go there and collaborate.

Datavis

From Facebook:
RE: #HPTouchpad. ALL orders WILL BE SHIPPED towards the end of this week. NO CANCELLATIONS. Thank you for your patience.

Orders have officially started shipping with an email going out from DataVis not eBay or Paypal. eBay shipped status has not been updated yet. The email contains your order information and tracking.
Sweet!

My order status page confirms this.



Wonder if they're reauthorizing as they find more stock?

I got the same thing. This is from the Tuesday afternoon order that was made.. I can't imagine this is an error, but we will see if these go through.

I've been stalking the HP website - yesterday it said "Coming Soon - Check Back"...checked last night at 11 pm before I went to bed. Woke up at 6 am this morning and it said "Out of Stock".

DAMMMIT!!!!!

I'll say this: if you can't get one at the new MSRP, don't give in to the eBay and CL flippers. Amazon's tablet is rumored to come out in October. Given that they partially subsidize the Kindle, I'm expecting their tablet to come in sub-$300. Might be worth waiting for.

I would assume if HP were not going to sell anymore it would say discontinued not OOS. Their site never went live again like they said, they just switched the status. Which to me means they are fulfilling all previous orders?

The thing that has me believing we may actually get are SMB orders is because it doesn't have the same order placed date and time anymore. I obviously placed it on Monday around 2pm the first time and now it shows this 08/24/2011 9:57:06 PM.

trying to keep a little hope

From what I see on SD SMB orders are completely up in the air. No matter the time you ordered.

I just checked also, I noticed the changed order date was last night at 11PM, I'm holding out hope that they will just fill all existing orders. Also got an estimated ship date of 8/28

My OfficeMax order is just sitting in limbo as "Backordered"

Sams Club orders are arriving today.

Has anyone done the following to improve their Touchpad's?
