Curious about B&H & mkiii shipments

[GUNSLINGERBUNNY]

I ordered mine on the 21st of March and it's still backordered.

I did check Best Buy's website and it's sold out online but you can have it shipped to a store and I want to say it used to say (when they had them in-stock) "usually ships in 1 to 2 days" but now it says "usually ships in 3 to 5 days". So does this mean they are anticipating getting a shipment in within the next 3 to 5 days? could be something, could not be. I guess we'll see in about a week though.

I'm hearing all different dates. B&H just says "we don't know" they did say that they will be shipping orders from 3/12-3/13 range when they get their next shipment (only because that is when my order was placed) I would like a non-defective one before wedding season.

I spoke to a B&H rep and he said that stock is on the way. I'm pretty sure B&H are going to get some big shipments in now that they are producing (at full production speed) the fixed 5D3 model in both Canon 5D3 factories.

Is that all you have to contribute to this forum?

Any updates guys ? Have anyone got his order shipped from B&H after the light leak issue resolution ?

[digitalz]

Nothing yet.  I was able to take advantage of the double down deal for canon.  I had B&H move the camera to a new invoice since it hadn't shipped yet.  So if anybody was looking to buy a lens.

[Mokh24]

Me too... I got 220$ off of my 16-35 lens that i ordered with the 5d3 back in april 3 ... Desperately waiting !!!

I want to do the same. Did your movement of invoice impact your shipment? Did you call the customer service to make it?

I have my 5D3 on order from the main pro supplyer in Denmark.

Last week (thursday) i got an invitation to join a demo of the 5D3 and the 600EX-RT flash at the same store at  May 9th.

I hope i can take my camera with me home on that date. Guess the dealer will be happy too, i'm buying some L-glass at the same time to get some rebate/goodwill !!!

 

Kind regards

I just requested this through the Live chat... I asked the CS rep and he confirmed that this won't change my location in the queue...
But now that I am considering buying from somewhere else (maybe ebay as it would be the first place to find one), I won't benefit from this 220$ rebate that I got. I am sick of waiting for B&H !!!

Thanks Mokh24. I got rebate too. Seems a long wait to get the stuff

Same deal here.  Added the 24 1.4 II to my 5D3 order from March and doubled the instant rebate to $240.

The 24 will be here in two days, and will need to settle for being exercised on the 7D until the 5D3 makes its long-awaited arrival.
