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.

Same here, the money transfer has been 'pending' since my order went from 'waiting for bank confirmation' (in french) to 'ordered' on the Fanc order page.
Fraid all that means is that they're 'booked' the money and will take it if and wehn they send you one....

Damn you high hopes! By the way, what is a touchpad? Never actually bothered to look at one, just got caught up in the hysteria of it all!!
:pac:

Just spoke to the bank - they said that 112 euro has been requested by FNAC and payment is pending on the bank of ireland side of things.

As I dont know how the inner workings of a bank go, the 'pending' part is keeping me from jumping with joy. Not sure if FNAC have requested the money from everyones card though, so not making me feel as special as I should!!

What time did you order? on Monday?

FNAC have said it means your "Touchpad" has been requested from the supplier..

.. they don't have stock readily available.

Chances of getting it = slim to none unfortunately!

my order with them is pending with paypal - perhaps there are different reasons it could be pending.

Sorry to hear that. Seems like mine should be dispatching soon according to the dabs guy on Twitter. Hoping it does.

Dear XXXX,
Thank you for your recent order for the HP Touchpad. As you will have no doubt seen in the news there was extremely high demand for this product both at Dabs.ie and at other retailers with stock selling out in a matter of minutes.

Whilst our website was showing stock when you placed your order we are afraid that due to the speed at which customers were placing orders our website was not always showing an accurate stock level. We have tried very hard to secure more stock but due to the high nationwide demand we have been unable to do so. We are therefore very sorry but we will be unable to fulfil your order on this occasion. Please accept our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause you but rest assured that we have tried our very best to obtain more stock.

What do you need to do?
We do not need you to do anything. We will shortly be cancelling your order and can confirm that payment has not been taken for this order. Please be advised that as we have no further stock our customer services team will be unable to change the status of your order. To avoid further disappointment please refrain asking them to do so.

We are very sorry to have to disappoint you on this occasion but do very much hope that you will return to Dabs in the future.

Kind Regards
dabs.ie

Please note: We realise that this may be very disappointing but from a legal standpoint a contract does not exist between either party until your order has been accepted and delivered.
dabs.ie is part of dabs.com Plc, Registered in England

Well, you've lost me as a customer for life dabs.

so how many other people in Ireland managed to get an Argos reservation that lasted for only 1 day and now that the deal is on my reservation has expired

why couldn't I have been like ye all and got reservations over the weekend

I had a next day COB reservation, this short reservation meant it was in stock and ready for collection, which it was.

Include your phone no. in the email

Probably not much point in putting your phone number in.. unless they'll gladly make international calls and / or you're fluent in French.

Eh, someone was asking if anyone here knew how to speak French because he wanted to ask FNAC about his order status. I wrote him up a quick email. I'm not the one who needs to translate anything

Google Translate produces an even worse translation English -> French than it does when translating French -> English. Real translations are still much better.

Can anybody here speak French? Tempted to email FNAC and ask them what the story is with my item is.....but im sure they are bombarded with enquirys about it. My status hasnt changed from Ordered since the first evening...but still no payment has been taken from my account, which worries me slightly

They set up a dedicated email address which is fnacoeur@fnac.com to deal with touchpad queries. Include your phone no. in the email.

That's irrelevant, there's no stock available.

HP are having a firesale. When the stocks gone, it's gone. Judging by how fast these things sell out (Thousands in a minute) i'd say they'll be long finished before January.

The price won't ever change because they're no longer being made. Once the final units work their way through whatever supply chains they're in that's the end.

Madame, Monsieur,

Récemment sur le 22/8, j'ai commandé un <<HP Touchpad>> avec numéro de commande (INSERT ORDER NUMBER HERE). Jusqu'à maintenant, le statut de ma commande reste inchangé. En ce moment, il continue a dire <<commandé>>. Yat-il un problème avec ma commande?

Cordialement,
