Adorama 5D Mark III Pre Order Shipping & Order Status

[ssimmonsphoto]

Although I highly doubt that I'll be in the first wave to get theirs, I figured that it'd be nice for those of us who did preorder through Adorama to see when they start shipping and showing up. So, anyone have a status other than pending?

The silence is deafening..........

My F5 finger is starting to hurt.

I had preordered the second the page went live. Just cancelled because I found it locally. Tough luck Adorama.

My order on Adorama appears to be "pending" which I think is different from previously when it was "backordered." I ordered on Mar 5. Still no charge on card.

 

[Macadameane]

Mine has been pending for a very long time. Since close to the time I ordered. I'd say I ordered around the first 5 minutes.

 

[rporterfield]

Mine still says pending as well. I ordered 3/2 at 7:36AM EST.

Pending... but I just got it a couple of hours ago with the special bundle deal that they just posted today. Here's something to consider: would you be willing to give up your place in line, cancel your order and re-buy the great bundle? It's quite a deal. The super fast 32gb sd card is worth over $100 and the Canon backpack is a nice one. I actually like Knoll Light Factory as well.

I THOUGHT I was an early order, having ordered at 7:40 am Pacific time on March 2. But now I am starting to worry that I may not be among the first shipment. Sigh--I wonder if I should bite the bullet and call my local store, though then I need to pay the local tax, which adds over $300 to the cost...

Pending... I wish I originally just did it with Amazon though, as my Amazon card gives me triple points and 3.99 overnight shipping with Prime. Would of saved me close to $180... I am thinking about still canceling, though. I got time!

Still "Pending". Confirmation email received 00:47 Eastern on March 2nd.

I'm kinda hoping that they will not process mine before my cc billing cutoff of 3/22. That would give me almost 30 days more to pay.

Mine has said the following since I placed the order:
Phase #1: Pending March 02, 2012 / SubTotal: $3,499.00 / Tax: $0.00 / Shipping $0.00 / Total: $3,499.00
Canon EOS-5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera Body, 22.3 Megapixels - USA Warranty
(ICA5DM3)
Status: Pending

On March 3rd, and again on March 16th, I received email notices from Adorama stating my order was still "Backordered"

I'm with the rest of you playing the waiting game

I did it through Adorama since I got 2% cash back through ebates, which saved me about $70. Got the cash back immediately even though my credit card hasn't been charged.

And to the PP that posted about the package, I have no need for the backpack nor the bundled software, so I'll save my money (and keep my spot in line).

I placed order about 10:45 pm PST on 3/1. Still showing phase 1 pending.

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

 

[1sicknickel]

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

 

[mjcmbk]

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...
