5DIII pre-order thread

[wookiee2cu]

Why did you cancel with B&H? They are shipping pre-orders today and it does seem that they received a huge shipment! A ton of users including myself have already received credit charges, "Shipped" status changes, and UPS tracking numbers! Updates are being posted on the B&H order Queue thread. So although B&H lost a lot points for lack of communication, they at least made good on the March 22nd deadline

Must have been too impatient, now they will be waiting longer (unless they didn't place their order with B&H until the 15th or something then they were probably in for a long wait). ;D

I just got my UPS tracking number for my B&H order!

I just got my UPS tracking number for my B&H order!

Me too

 

[GeorgieGirl]

So where do you think a girl like me will end up in the shipping queue when I ordered mine on the 7th? At this moment I am feeling very sad... :'(

 

[Drama79]

my order changed in the last half hour to "in stock, sent to warehouse" ! YES.

Meaning B&H got over 2000 units in their first delivery. No wonder it took a while to arrive! (no tracking or despatch email yet, just refreshing their server like a you-know-what)

I think it's good news for all! Or Amazon jumping the gun. Confirmation email received at 2:33:02 AM CST March 2.

Has yours updated? I just got the confirmation from Amazon that mine has shipped!

I pre-ordered at 5 AM on March 2nd from B&H. Order status now has a UPS tracking number. I can't wait!

I just received notice from Amazon that my 5D MarkIII was shipped today (Thursday 3-22) and will arrive tomorrow. For $3.99 extra, I got next day shipping. Can't wait!!

I got mine today! I called around New York City and K&M had one they said they would sell me if I begged. Body-only. Cancelled my B&H order. Woohoo! They also have the D800, for anyone interested in the NYC area.

Anyone order after the 2nd from B&H get a notice yet? I ordered the 4th and am now very sad as well, Henry Posner from B&H responded to me on another forum but can't give details other than another shipment is coming in next week to B&H.

I ordered on March 2 at 10:30 AM (EST). That would be only ten minutes after your order. I hope I hear something soon! BTW - Did you order the kit or the body only?

I ordered from Amazon 6:32am on March 2nd (body only)
this is a chat I just had with them.

Queen:Yes, I see this is for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body) , right? 1:24:42 PM

Me:yes1:24:51 PM

Queen:In understand that you contacted us about this already yesterday and the shipping date is still unknown since the item is still with the supplier. I am sorry for the delay. But rest assured that we will keep your order open until we get the item and we will email you right away. 1:26:12 PM

Me:I ordered this item hours after Amazon started taking pre orders on March 2nd. Others are starting to ship from Amazon so how could it be still with the supplier? When you spend $3,500 you expect answers. 1:28:22 PM

Queen:I understand how you fell Lynn and I am sorry, I cannot confirm that someone had shipping soon status already because by far, we are getting this concern and I can assure you that we do not have the item yet and if we do we make sure to be fair with the customers to ship it right away as they pre ordered it. You have not been charged yet as well since we charge upon shipping not upon ordering. 1:30:13 PM

Me:so my pre order will be filled in order that is was received? No one should get this before me, that ordered after I did?1:32:19 PM

Queen:Yes, that's correct.

someone is lying.....

Agreed. Considering how many times I've contacted Amazon (and the responses I've received), I'm skeptical until I see screenshots.

i was kinda upset with Amazon because it seems like they were not fulfilling orders on a first come first serve basis. Many who ordered after me (2:16am Mar 2) are alreading getting their shipment notices. I cancelled and ordered with Norman Camera, MI and will be receiving it tomorrow.
