part of the conversation on twitter suggests that it's a large shipment (copy/pasted from the feed):

glad to hear that at least someone is sticking to Canon's March 22nd date aside from Canon Australia (from what I hear Canon Australia has been holding stock in Sydney until the 21st for 22nd release).
i have no proof of this, but i imagine Amazon US will do the same (March 22nd shipping).

Hey thanks for pointing that out. Wow... That suggests that the order might be large enough to fulfill orders placed at least 4 days after the pre-order started. Pretty crazy! Not to mention good news for a lot more people if this proves to be true. In any case I hope at the least it's a large enough order to fill pre-orders placed within the first hour

after calming down, they are a national retailer with a global reputation, and heavy ad circulation on this here site. It's entirely predictable that they'd see that level of interest in a hot new product. When am I going to stop assuming cameras are a niche industry?!
And, if CR guy thinks they have a big shipment, perhaps I just need to scale up a bit. We've previously seen a palette, maybe two, so 20 units tops. I'm sure B&H will be getting many, many more units. If they DO meet that scale of pre-order, I think that might silence some of the negative nancies talking about customer service....

Let's not get too excited and assume all orders at B&H are for the 5D3. While I suspect they received a lot, they do sell other things.
I placed two orders (not for a 5D3 - I order that the second day) with B&H recently, one on the 14th and one on the 18th. My order numbers were 54000 apart. Using the logic in this thread that 1 order number translates into one order (which might or might not be true), B&H received about 13,500 orders per day. So, even if there were 11,000 orders in a 16-hour period, only 2,000 or so might be considered "abnormal" based on my average orders per day. Oh, and,I even forgot that my 4-day period spans a weekend (they don't accept orders on Saturday). So, 11,000 orders in a 16-hour period might not even be higher than normal.

Just to add a little fuel for fodder, my email confirmation came in 3/2/12 at 00:28 and I am very near the end of the xxxxx527xx, so I wonder how 'accurate' the email timing is - if it is based on the same 'clock' they sent it, or are the times on our emails based on when our email server clocks received it?

A friend of mine works for Jessops retail here in the UK and he personally took delivery of 5DIII bodies and 24-105 kits 2 days ago so they are in store ready for sale

I've had my pre-order with Jessops (body only) for a week, called them this morning to confirm stock arrival which I was told would be tomorrow, they said it had come in early and mine would be dispatched today for delivery tomorrow! They also said they had enough stock to cover their pre-orders "and some spare".
My only problem is I won't be around tomorrow to receive delivery....

I got one of the automatically generated emails this morning. My order was placed on the 6th. So I called CS at B&H and was told by the CSR who handled my call that they were expecting an shipment to come in on the 23rd. When I asked where I was in line he took a few moments of searching and said I wasn't in the first shipment going out, which I figured, but could not give me any indication where I was after that. My guess is that he did not know the number of units in the second wave. So this begs the question of how often will they be re-stocked? Weekly? Twice a week?

I bought 5D III yesterday March 20th at Crutchfield.com and got confirmation and UPS tracking number, which will arrive tomorrow March 22nd.
I posted this link yesterday around 1PM PCT, I believe CanonRumors members have cleared out their inventory in short period of time - both body only only and kit 24-105.
http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php/topic,4542.0.html
Anyway....little update with BH as of March 21th 6:15AM PCT, I called BH to cancel my pre-order. They still DO NOT know when 5D III will be ship
Then...I asked the CS, do you have 5D III instock yet? The answer I got is "I do not have access to the inventory, I do not know"
Good Luck Guys
