I just called amazon and they said eventhough my order on Feb 17 in the evening was placed so late my 1000he was still going to be shipping tomorrow so everyone should be happier about that.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

I preordered my Asus 1000 HE on Feb 19 Amazon lists it as shipped on March 1st with a tracking number via USPS...The USPS as of today Friday March 6th has NO RECORD of the Shipment. Amazon must be just PRE posting the shipping info to get us off their backs. I have written (email) customer service this week several times with NO responses. My delivery date is scheduled as March 11th...Last time I use AMAZON for anything...

I bought mine from jr.com (cheaper), and when I called they said from the 16th they'll be getting small groups to ship out to early pre-orders, and starting the 23rd they'll ship out mass amounts. Glad I ordered mine right away; I'm impatient as well. :)

RE: FriedhoffJust a friendly reminder: HD level performance w/ GN40 means battery life will drop. Likely a lot. Link above shows current set up consumes 8W whereas GN40 setup consumes 14W... That *roughly* translates to only 40% drop in battery life, so 9 hours would become 5 hours!

I would wait an extra week and order from Amazon myself. Their economies of scale allow them to have a return policy that is unmatched by any other vendor of this computer. My only relationship with Amazon is that of a satisfied customer. Also consider that was Amazon prime you can get overnight shipping for 4 bucks and get the computer potentially faster than those that ordered with ZZF.. Part of me wishes I could go back and order again from JR.com and get the live.com discount and have it by now, but I think when all is said and done I'll be happy I ordered form Amazon. They could do a better job, though, of letting us know the status of our orders, and when about we'll get our laptops. I would wait an extra week and order from Amazon myself.

If I don't get a tracking number by the end of the week from Amazon I'm switching to a different e-tailer that is shipping.

EAB,I did a similar thing. After calling customer service, I was told that my shipping method would be upgraded so that I would receive it by March 11. Still dissatisfied, I asked to speak with a supervisor, after several more minutes of discussion, he declared that my package would arrive on March 2nd. Sadly, I had to beat this out of Amazon.Also, there is a charge of roughly 30.00 dollars that has been added to my account for shipping and handling. While the Supervisor explained that this would be taken away, at this point, I am high skeptical of Amazon's ability to do anything correctly. EAB,I did a similar thing.

I don't think Amazon really does that, or at least they haven't done it with any of the other E-P1 related items. When they get some in stock, they ship them, without letting anyone know beforehand.So those of us who have preordered don't know anything you don't (although I heard that a few 17mm kits have arrived in the U.S., so it may be soon).

R.C., do you know when amazon will actually be able to ship the skeletool CX to those who preordered? are we talking within a couple days after the 31st, or a couple weeks? Thanks!

According to "Creative Labs"... THEY will be shipping the week of September 17th. Which would translate as now. That was their reply last week... surely they would have known if it was going to be later by then. But any day now would be the best answer. If you're in a tight time-frame... don't do it. The more of a hurry you need something the less likely it will make it!

I ordred mine Nov 23rd, and I'm still waiting and it's Dec 22. It was supposed to be a gift. I tracked it, it ships from Taiwan.

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

I just received an "In-Stock ready to ship" notice from Next Day PC and is cheaper than Price Pros if anyone is interested. Personally, I'm sticking with my pre-order.

@Christopher. I asked one of the many eBay vendors offering this item with the March 11 ship date if he was going to be able to fulfill the March 11th date he claimed. He said yes but that he was way oversold on the item and that Asus was way under-prepared to fulfill the demand. Because of that I went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon hoping that I would be able to get one. Nothing on Newegg either.Please let us know if you get your order fulfilled. Good luck.Cort

I just ordered mine with Newegg earlier today. I called and they had plenty in stock. Love you AMAZON but you need to have stock in order for us to order from you. I waited more than 1 week for AMAZON to get their stock in. NADA...had to buy from Newegg.

Hi K.C.,Thank you for purchasing and glad to see you were early in the queue. Amazon was out, we shipped them more, they ran out again (you got yours shipped from that batch). Today (11-9) we shipped Amazon a truckload; expect the UL80VT-A1 to be shipping from Amazon again by the end of this week.EDIT:I think Friday of this week is realistic for them to start shipping, but it could be early next week because this is a very busy time for them receiving inventory into their warehouses.

Update on discussion with Amazon rep. He said the the following:"I have checked the details and for sure that it will be released by 27th for sure. It might be released before but for sure it will be released by 27th. There is a issue with the item for not being in stock."I don't know what he meant by the issue of not being in stock. Perhaps Amazon has not gotten them in yet.

I've ordered mine on July 16th. It should arrive by tomorrow as per the item tracker (already nearby.) Bought it off Bodyguardz. Costs more for shipping but it beats waiting for Amazon to have it in stock.

Hee hee. I know how you feel, I watched pleo with a Dec 18 ship date for a couple weeks while I shopped around seeing if I could find one for less that was immediately available. Over a week before the ship time, I ordered, then called on the 18th asking some VERY NICE (but not particularly knowledgable) CSR in India who told me it would arrive on the 19th as scheduled. I called back that day (the 19th), and they said "I'm still vely soory sire, but the day is not yet concluded, if you do not receive it today, you may check on why this is exactly so tomorrow." Then I found out folks who ordered from Amazon after me, INCLUDING the day before, got theirs the next day. Anyway, etoys came through with a free 3-foot stocking and free overnight shipping. Back to the "Hee - hee" -- I'm pretty darn sure that Mr. B had nothing to do with it. In fact, as a customer with hundreds and hundreds of purchases from his interesting and innovative product-delivery system, this is the very first time Amazon hasn't MORE THAN exceeded my expectations. I would guess that the anticipated quantity was not sent by Ugobe to Amazon. Hey, maybe etoys got Amazon's delivery instead of them! And yeah, Best Buy's pretty good too. But it's about 1 purchase to every 20 that I make on Amazon.

I am in same boat guys, I did notice on eBay a lot of the vendors are saying "pre-order till March 11". Hard to imagine Amazon getting it much later than them. Good luck.

According to this: http://www.dz-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000he-blue-netbook-intel-atom-n280166ghz-10-led-wide-svga-1gb-memory-160gb-hdd-win-xp-p-1115.html?zenid=025ecdd977bf8b366d57ef250c7e3ffb They will be shipping the 16th. According to the Asus rep on the facebook group - Their US distribution company will be receiving them on the 13th, and they should be in retailers hands by the next week - so the 16th through the 20th would be reasonable... Amazon usually gets stuff early so I'm crossing my fingers for next Monday/Tuesday.

Well, I ordered mine on the 12th and got them on the 15th but this was before they were on backorder. Now it says it'll be available on the 26th :( They are selling these at Hot Topic for $19.99 right now.

Just adding a data point. I ordered mine on 13 March, and it shipped yesterday. Should arrive tomorrow.Now, I just have to wait for the clouds here in DC to clear up (maybe by Sunday).
