Hp Touchpad Firesale

I was just checking in an there are rumors that those who ordered at HP SMB might be out of luck because they oversold more than they have or can get. Unfortunately, if that is the case that includes me. Bummer. Oh, the entire SMB site was taken offline for "maintenance" nobody really knows for sure ... the rumors are flying.
 
Looks like HP took down the ability to get put on their waiting list, I just went over to add someone else I told about them and the link is gone.

But good news is my touchpad from best buy will be here in 2 days
 
I placed an order at Barnes and Noble on Saturday morning at full price, way before they went on sale, and even my order was cancelled :mad:

However, I am getting one shipped from Amazon, so at least that one worked out...
 
I doubt it ... I will be shocked if I get mine from Amazon via Onsale. Blows my mind that reputable companies can't keep track of their inventory.

I'm not sure if the problem is that they cannot keep track of their inventory or if the volume of sales was so great, so quickly, that it didnt matter what their inventory was.
 
It was a 500 year flood of orders on a system designed for the 100 year flood. **** happens.

I ordered one from B&N late last night. I got an e-mail this morning saying that they couldn't fulfill the order. I go back to their website after I get the denial e-mail and they still have the 16 GB for sale on their website. I doubt it is that hard to take a product off the website, probably kept it up there to collect buyers personal information.
 
No cancellation yet from Amazon onsale for me after being charged; had one from BN. BN is looking bad.

Same story with you guys about Amazon and onsale, no word yet. Amazon messed up once a year or so ago with something that was not available and they ended up giving me a gift card. The sheer quantity of this order makes me think they won't do that this time.

I did get in on the Tiger Direct order yesterday and do have a tracking number now.
