newegg can eat a big fat one for the #%$+@%#+ they playing at. getting my tech @%%+ from amazon now, *#%@ em

So, story time.

I just got back from best Buy after waiting for 3 hours in store for a tablet.
I checked the inventory and it says that it is "available for pickup", so I went.

First thing I do is ask if they have any. Obviously they say no. So I wait some to see if maybe a truck will come in. The place is dead, no one else is waiting for a tablet.
After about 3 hours of waiting I start seeing shift changes, I see about 5 Best Buy employees walk out all with HP tablets in hand.
Getting furious I walk up to the counter and tell them I just saw 5 employees walk out with tablets when they were telling me they had none. I knew they had more so I asked for one, the manager then proceeds to tell me that they have them there but they're all sold to Best Buy employees already.
Waiting a little long I end up leaving empty handed.
Getting on my computer just now again I see that the website still tells me it's "available for in store pickup".

Are they just hiding them and selling them to employees?
I don't get it, is this legal?

I also read there that some fedex employees were stealing packages from Onsale

not sure if true though
 
I just came across this from HP's site...don't know if it's been posted here. Should mean if yours is showing "item being processed" you will get your Touchpads
http://
Q: How can I find out the status of my order?

A: Click here to check the status of your order. Once you follow the steps to either enter order number and phone number or sign into the site, you will be shown your order status:
  • If it shows Shipped, then your order has already shipped.
  • If it shows Item being Processed, then your order is in queue to be shipped and all shipments should be complete by Wednesday August 24, 2011.
  • If it shows Order Pending, then your order is in review and we ask you to please check your order status again the next business day.

I must be doing something wrong on the HP SMB order status because my two orders isn't showing up.

you guys are putting your Customer # where it ask for the PO#? I've entered it every which way possible, Customer #, Order/Quote# I can't get anything to work.

and yes I was able to view order status from the other order status page a few days ago, which I think is gone now correct?

I didn't even bother charging it before using it. Once I got it out of the box, I powered it up and started playign with it. 
By the way, it's nice not having to connect it to an actual CPU to use like the iPad2, which seemed pretty useless if you don't have a desktop or laptop to connect it to first.

from slickdeals:
ATTENTION! IF YOU ORDERED FROM ONSALE THROUGH AMAZON

For those who bought from onsale and have "shipping soon" on amazon. I called Macmall to check my macmall order, they said no dice.. but guy said another order came up when he looked my address up from their sister company Onsale. I told him " yeah but it seems like I didnt get one because it says shipping soon". He informed me that Onsale stopped updating the orders on AMAZON.COM if you want to see what is really happening to your Onsale order YOU NEED TO CHECK AT store.onsale.com but for that you will need your onsale order number NOT THE SAME FROM AMAZON.COM so i suggest calling macmall and having them check your onsale order that way you know for sure if you are getting one or not.

BTW mine says Shipping Soon but when I checked through the onsale website it says it was shipped on 8/22 got shipping track number and everything. Oh and I used regular UPS ground shipping. 

Hope this helps good luck!
