HP Touchpad Thread (NO Discussion Of Personal Buying/Selling)

upandcumming

Just a heads up to people.

I'm in NY for the summer and I've just ordered 2 of these for $220.
HP have discontinued the Touchpad this week and are now letting them go for $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).

I know most of you aren't in the USA but treat this as a heads up to get a very good tablet, with Flash Player, at a knock-down price.

It's not policy of Argos nationwide, I've just been on to my Argos store as I haven't received a text yet. They said as soon as the stock hits the shelf you get a text message and that stock is allocated to your reservation number. They couldn't have been more polite.

Now if you've reserved a few under the same phone number they can see that on their system and might have decided to cancel and to be honest I wouldn't blame them for that.

TheZohan, there is a massive disconnect in Argos stores nationally. So are honouring, some aren't.

As regards the multiples, that doesn't seem to have been a issue with the manager in question. The issue was there were no reservations being honoured at all.

And if they had cancelled them, surely I shouldn't have received three texts today telling me they were ready for collection?

P.S. A lot of people are very angry on here, so please don't misinterprete my tone in this reply as argumentative.

P.P.S. As regards the multiples, I was ordering for friends too...they weren't all for me, and I wasn't intenting to sell them on

I really wouldn't believe what an Argos girl has to say on HP's shipments.

I would, I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal and could be considered breach of contract.

The pre3 is available now on elara.

100 euro including vat and shipping though.

EI_Flyboy

Now for you guys who might not be interested in the Pre3, you might want to try get your hands on one as a bargaining chip to swap for a Touchpad... That's what I did but I just gots me a Pre3 off of Elara so my spare Touchpad is going to someone else at face value. Just thought you guys might want to think about that!

P.s. Don't spam me, the Touchpad is already promised to someone.

If anyone has a spare code I know a boy who wants to use it to train horses, he lost the power of speech and his dream is to train horses and the only device that would be of use is the hptouchpad.

Just pm me with your details and I'll send mine on DHL.

But it might be worth checking back tomorrow or the next day. But really, as far as her computer knows, they were sold out across all Argos stores.

She wasnt hinting about tomorrows delivery, but that, for the sake of it, to try again.

Official argos twitter said no argos stores over UK and ireland will be getting any more stock. That thats it for good for argos.

Had three reserved (under three different reservation numbers) in Argos on the Childers Road in Limerick. Reserved Monday morning about 10:00. Got confirmation emails and texts.

Got texts a few hours ago telling me that the stock was waiting for me instore for collection.

Went down, and was told by the store manager (Marty), that all reservations made since Tuesday were cancelled, and that they were issued this morning on a first come first served basis.

Three problems with that:

1. My order was made Monday.
2. I didn't get any communication from Argos telling me it was cancelled.
3. I actually got confirmations from them that it was instore and ready for collection!

The manager reckons it the policy of Argos Nationwide. When I put it to him that others were having their reservations honoured, he simply said, well they shouldn't be.

Now, I don't want to seem bitter at all, but it seems like Argos have handled this poorly enough. It seems the policy changed from stored to store. Some peoples were honoured, and of course they were very happy. Some people seem to have walked in off the street and got them (the manager said they were issued on a first come first served), and I'm sure they won't complain about us with reservations. I think Argos need to review their automated system. If you cancel orders, let the customer know...and don't tell them they are in stock ready for collection!

Did anybody with a reservation code for St Stephens Green get one? I went up with a code that was supposed to be valid from today but they said they didnt get any in, having said yesterday that they would be available today ?

cant be bothered to read through the last 10 pages in the 3 hours that I've been gone.

Just collected mine in Argos Jervis. I got a reservation on the 21st August if that makes a difference to any one. The staff in there were really friendly and happy for me.

I spoke with a staff member there who said that their head office had decided to honour all reservations that had been made. I presume this meant where possible too, but if you have a reservation, you're safe.

Don't leave the store without another reservation. Be polite, be loud, make it out to be a big joke. There will be more so make sure you shame them into giving you a new reservation. In the meantime, get onto @argoshelpers on twitter and see what they can do.

Just back from Argos in Stephen's Green, got a text earlier to say my reservation was in, and indeed it was, so I'm now the proud owner of one 32GB Touchpad.

Argos, from now on I'll use them to buy all the things.

Good luck to all those still searching and if you have a reservation don't give up hope yet.
