Adorama 5D Mark III Pre Order Shipping & Order Status

[picture-this]

Anyone get a chance to call adorama today to see what their update is on shipping?

Ordered mine Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 10:47 PM still pending and received an email on the 15th saying that my order was still on back order. I hope I get a confirmation tomorrow that it has shipped because I need my camera in time for a shoot.

I ordered my BUNDLE
Canon EOS-5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera/ Lens Kit with Canon EF 24-105L IS Lens- Includes FREE; SanDisk 32GB ExtremePRO SDHC Memory Card, Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG - Red Giant Adorama Production Bundle for PC/Mac a $599.00 Retail Value

on Order date: March 20, 2012

I called in this morning about 5 min ago to check when it will be shipped,  they told me they will ship out TODAY.
i should have my camera next week

Wow! You ordered on 3/20 and will be part of the firt shipment. Great news.

Also, I assumed that people who preordered BEFORE the bundle would get the bundle. Now that I think about it, I can see how that could be a wrong assumption.

Has anyone with a "body only" preorder managed to get any info from Adorama on when their order will ship?

I was a bit late in placing my order, (03:39 EST on the 2nd), so I know there are hundreds ahead of me - perhaps no chance of being in the first shipment, but at least I hope to get my order shipped "soon".... however, the lack of information is getting irritating - ah, well...at least I am not the only one waiting.

If anyone manages to get some information from Adorama on when their order will ship, it would be really, really nice to know in what range the order number is...

My order status changed from "pending" to "packed"! Woohoo!

[darktiger]

And I cancelled my Adorama order around 11am.  What time did you order yours?

[patentesq]

About 5 days after the announcement.

[unclemat]

What? I ordered around 0:50 am on March 2 EST.

Did you order kit or body?

[patentesq]

Body only.

[unclemat]

So much first come, first serve... Congrats, though.

[patentesq]

Thanks. Which shipping method did you choose?

I don't know if their order numbers are incremental, but mine ends in 649XX

I got a confirmation email at 11:25pm CST (very early) for a body only.  I hope to see a "packed" status change in the next few hours.  I didn't order fast shipping though.  They are probably packing the overnight ones first to try and get them out on time.

Thanks. Which shipping method did you choose?

Free Shipping. It's one day from Adorama to me. Never thought chooisng Free Shipping would push me down the queue...
