5D III - is in stock at Cruchfield - no sale tax

I just ordered the body only from Crutchfield. It showed "In Stock" when I placed my order, and "Low stock" shortly after, but then my order invoice said the item was temporarily unavailable. Moments later I received a phone call from a Crutchfield representative apologizing that I didn't make the cut, he said they were just flooded with orders (probably as a result of this post!). Argh! I was just about ready to cancel my B&H pre-order... Hopefully I can find it in stock somewhere else, since I didn't pre-order until the 5th!

Placed an order about 15 minutes ago - thanks for letting us know. Went through online but also called to confirm and it is going out the door tonight for Thursday delivery. I would have preferred to stay loyal to B&H on this but frankly the lack of communications from them makes that difficult.

i jumped on it, because i changed my mind and wanted the kit anyway, though i preordered with B and H within minutes of it being available. i did overnight delivery, crutch field called me immediately and i was like, oh no, here it goes, they don't really have it, but no, they said they missed overnight delivery by 4 minutes and would be here by thursday at 10am! so how do i cancel B and H??? can i do it online or do i have to call?
wooohooo!

you have to call customer service (800 606 6969) but it is probably close by now (close at 6pm EST).
You cannot cancel online (except right after making an order) and you cannot cancel through the chat.

oh well, I'm trying to do it through the chat right now. i guess i better just wake up early and cancel, but they confirm before they ship right? or do they go ahead and charge and ship without double checking with the buyer?

They charge and ship without checking with you before (it's the case in most stores) but they will notify you that they shipped and give you the UPS-Fedex tracking number.

I don't know about ADORAMA, probably the same.

I would be sure to wake up early tomorrow and call Customer Service (in case that they ship tomorrow) not to be charged.
It will take some time to return the camera and be refund. (unless you return next day by air for a premium)
