Updated status at top of the thread.

Thank you for the information guys, this is GREAT!!

Reminder: Please help out your fellow B&H 1DX customers and post if you have not. If nothing else, this thread will help keep our sanity while we wait for our babies to arrive.

March 14th, 6 PM Eastern.  Was told my order should ship end of this week or early next week.

I'm in the same boat--albeit ordered a little before, but you wouldn't tell it by the order number.

Order number 1019890xxx.  They said probably tomorrow for shipping, but maybe next week. I think it simply depends on how many they fulfill before they close for Shabbat.

For what it's worth, it seems like mine and neuro's number just missed the very first shipment.  One of the guys (the guy who made is order at two thirty) had an order number of 1019886xxx.

darn it, i wonder how to guage phone orders...=((

I am no expert on B&H ordering system, but I would imagine it should be the same as ordering online. When you call and place an order, your order goes into their order queue. Did you receive an email confirmation? If you did, use the timestamp of the order confirmation. If you did not, I would just try to remember when you called and use this thread as a guide.

thanks for the advice, i dont see an email for that cuz it was placed over the phone, the confirmation came one day later, but on the BH page it says it was ordered on the 14th of March. I believed I ordered 3-4 hours after preorders started in BH. they told me twice that I should get it in the shipment on friday though, so hopefully they arent lying.

The numbering scheme for phone orders seems different - one digit, and no obvious relationship between the two numbering schemes.

I have placed phone orders on occasion with B&H when I have a few questions about the product. When I place the order, I immediately get an order confirmation via email (probably because they have it in their system) exactly like I do when I place the order online.

I think the numbers are different so they can track where the order was placed in the system.. Internet, phone, in-person etc.

I can't imagine that phone ordering somehow slows or speeds up how fast the order gets put into fulfillment after the credit card has been verified.

I ordered online 3/14 2:34PM PST, order # xxxx8899xx

Looks like I just missed the cutoff for the first shipment.

B&H said they expect a second shipment on Friday, however they might not have time to get any out until Monday. So there shouldn't be a long wait for the rest of us who ordered the day of!

I ordered online 3/16 at 6:23pm EST, order #1019913xxx

I can almost guarantee I'm not going to be in the first few shipments, but I do hope I'm not going to have to wait another two months to get this camera. I've been waiting too long dagnabbit!

[bdunbar79]

I really think the way this is going is that the pre-orders are stacked up and loaded on the 14-16 of March.  After that it was probably much more casual and dispersed ordering.  The pros and people with the money that really wanted it, ordered it, and after that maybe people deciding here and there ordered.  Does anybody remember how long it took them to get their 1Ds III or 1D Mark IV?  What if you waited a month after it was available, how many months did it take to actually get it?

I ordered mine on March 20th, I guess I won't see mine for awhile.

From online chat yesterday:

"We are expecting the shipment by end of this week, your order will be filled with this shipment.

 I am not sure when the order will ship out since it still take time for our receiving department to process the shipment"

Update: delivered to California 10:28 PT 7/10

Im hoping to hear good news from BH tomorrow.
