My 5d mkIII pre-order from Adorama just arrived at my house 30 minutes ago. I got my sister to sign for it. Too bad I won't get out of work for another 6 hours....
Do you have a battery charged for it already? If not, you could miss out on the unboxing and get your sister to put it on the charger if you trust her enough. Good luck with the wait! 8)

Well I ordered March 2nd around 11am EST for body only and no shipping confirmation..not even packing. Still says pending and I have a charge on my credit card from Mar 21.
Same here on the no shipping confirmation and packing. Still have the pending charge on my credit card. Like some of us, your order probably switched from pending to processing and pending at some point yesterday and you didn't catch it. I'm just a notorious page refresher and happened to see the change, which lasted less than an hour.

Got an email about an hour ago that my camera has shipped! Woohoo! Although I chose free shipping so I still have a few days to wait :( I also have no lens for the camera, sooo I guess I shouldnt be too impatient since I wont be able to use it right away. ;D

Thanks! And yes, I got a battery charged and ready to go. It was my extra battery for my 5d MkII, I kept it after I sold the camera. And as much as I love my family, they better not open the package, I don't wanna miss out on the unboxing!

YAHOO! I was afraid that with my 2 day delay in the preorder that I'd never see the camera before June. But Adorama just sent me notification that it has shipped. YAHOO! Between a wedding I have in 3 weeks and my baby due to be born in 6 weeks, I am one VERY happy pregnant lady to have my new toys in my hands so soon. Now to place my order for the grip, extra battery, and other fun accessories. ;D

I have an order of a body only, that was placed on the 15th. It has switched to pending, does that mean I should expect it to go out today? What does the order go to after pending and how long does it take?

Mine went from pending, email received with tracking number, and then to packing.

Do you know when it went to pending? How much time there was between pending and the email?

UPS says I will get my camera today! Considering I picked free shipping, and it only shipped out yesterday, I'm a happy camper :) I thought it would be at least a week since I'm on the far north end of the east coast. Hopefully it was packed well...but I still have a $50 pending charge on my credit card..wonder what that is about?

ssimonsphoto: I had that message for a few hours, then it updated when it passed through New York.

North end of the east coast.... nearby me then! I also selected free shipping, but one of my tracking apps is estimating that it won't be here until Monday. I'm still stoked that it will be here well before my first wedding of the year. I was afraid I'd be waiting until June since it took me 2 days to get clearance from the "control tower" to order it. 8)

Mine is due to arrive on Monday. It is going to be a LONG day at work! And I'm praying that UPS won't come until later in the day so I can make it home from work in time to sign for it. They typically come after I get home but Monday would be the one day they are ahead of schedule. My fingers are crossed!

I'm on the West coast and ordered 3 day shipping, so mine will arrive Tuesday evening.

No wonder they get damaged. I thought 3 Day shipping would come by air, but it sounds like it will be dumped off a dozen UPS trucks on the way.

Now, it has finally been air lifted to Portland, Or. Then two days of bumpy truck rides to Spokane?

A lot of comments and queries here; too many to respond to individually…….

Firstly, thanks so much to all for your kind feedback regarding the speed at which Adam and his team at the Adorama Distribution Center got the MK III bodies out last week.

I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize for any confusion regarding the numbers of bodies and / or kits which were / are still available. My assumption is that this was related to the speed at which they were flying out of our inventory - by 'phone, Internet and our affiliates such as Buy.com and Amazon.

If anyone still has unanswered concerns or queries regarding their orders, please email me directly: [email protected] with your order number, and I will do my best to assist everyone today with relevant updates etc.

Unfortunately I just received the following e-mail after I had canceled my order at B&H because a customer service rep at Adorama told me my kit will ship at latest tomorrow:

We received report that our warehouse encountered an error in regards to the numbers of item that we received from Canon. Apparently, the order was not able to get any allocation and may not be able to ship until we receive another shipment from the manufacturer.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Now, thanks to Adorama, it looks like I will not have the camera for an upcoming vacation.

We have LOADS of MK III kits in stock!

If you email me directly I will do my best to help sort this out for you: [email protected]
