They're telling customers that so they give up and stop trying. I've told you guys already, when Best Buy/Future Shop gets any drop shipments, EMPLOYEES will know about them BEFORE any customer and they WILL buy them.

There is no chance anyone will get one in stores at either of these stores.

I'm not trying to be rude, just realistic. This is how things work. Today alone, there were well over 100+ phone calls asking about the SAME thing and 100+ people coming in RUNNING looking for the same thing. Don't waste your time or energy on something that is unlikely about to happen.

Online purchases or shopping in the States is your best bet.

HP twitter acount:

Update from our Canadian team - hpshopping.ca is OUT. No more coming. FYI you may be backordered. PLS RT. #canucks #touchpad #alliknow

akira112 08-22-2011 02:45 PM

Anywhere local selling the HP case for less that msrp? $50 is kinda steep.

Re: HP Canada -- my #canuck pals are saying retailers are out completely and so is hpshopping.ca. #sorry #eh

Whoa. when did you order?

b0unce. [?] 08-22-2011 03:20 PM

picked up only 1 from the bestbuy here in ny. when i was attempting to pick up the 5 today, the manager intervened and told me only 1 was allowed even though the employee didn't care and tried to sell me 5 lol

so instead of replying to everyone who pm'd me, i wont be selling off any unless the HP one i ordered comes through. if my order goes through, my extra one will be for vansterdam unless his stock pile is high enough lol :P

Grandmaster TSE 08-22-2011 03:23 PM

i have a buddy looking for one for his own use, let me know if u guys got any extras

thanks!

Try the langley futureshop heard today they have some still. Also there's supposedly 100k units sitting in the warehouse. Dunno when they'll get shipped out.

And for case, get a non apple brand Ipad 1 case cheaper and fits good. Just heard this one from a friend.
