Adorama 5D Mark III Pre Order Shipping & Order Status

[patentesq]

My order status changed from "pending" to "packed"! Woohoo!

 

[darktiger]

And I cancelled my Adorama order around 11am. What time did you order yours?

 

[patentesq]

About 5 days after the announcement.

 

[unclemat]

What? I ordered around 0:50 am on March 2 EST.

Did you order kit or body?

 

[patentesq]

Body only.

 

[unclemat]

So much first come, first serve... Congrats, though.

 

[patentesq]

Thanks. Which shipping method did you choose?

 

[CNfuzzy]

Order confirmation email received on 11:25 PM CT - 3/1 - Body only.

Credit card was charged today.

Order status is:

**********

Phase #1: Packed March 21, 2012 / SubTotal: $3,499.00 / Tax: $0.00 / Shipping $45.00 / Total: $3,544.00

**********

Since I have (UPS 2 Business Days Air) - I should have it by Friday

I don't know if their order numbers are incremental, but mine ends in 649XX

I got a confirmation email at 11:25pm CST (very early) for a body only. I hope to see a "packed" status change in the next few hours. I didn't order fast shipping though. They are probably packing the overnight ones first to try and get them out on time.

 

[unclemat]

Thanks. Which shipping method did you choose?

Free Shipping. It's one day from Adorama to me. Never thought chooisng Free Shipping would push me down the queue...

 

[unclemat]

Adorama just authorized my card (for $3449, strange, maybe they did $50 orginally?). Order is showing Pending but I guess it's coming!

 

[Arkarch]

Yeah, they also just charged mine for $50 less - must be the balance + original hold.

I'm a 12:41am EST 3/2 Body-only order.

 

[Seamus]

Congrats guys, a little patience paid off. I'm still waiting on B and H, but I expect I'll hear something soon.

Something's up....

I ordered less than a minute after the camera went up for pre-order. Had the first confirmation email of anyone I know of based on what's been posted online.

Card has not been charged. Status remains "pending." Really unhappy.

Yes, that sounds a bit odd. Have you tried calling them and asking what is going on?

Maybe (just speculating here) they got a very large number of cameras - enough to fill all the preorders placed in the first few days - and are processing the orders in batches according to shipping methods, not in strict order# ... meaning the people with the slowest shipping get processed first ...

That's possible. I ordered with the slowest shipping (free) but it's one day to me. Maybe it's by geographical location.

 

[slerman]

Shipping today. Body only. Ordered March 2nd around 9am.

 

[frisk]

YAY!

My order status just flipped from "Pending" to "Packed" and my Paypal balance just dropped by $3586.15

The details: UPS worldwide express shipping - order placed at 03:30 EST on the 2nd.

I just canceled my pre-order with Amazon. I went back to the store I purchased my first 5D3 from and picked up a second unit with the kit lens. Horn Photo of Fresno has them just sitting on the shelf.

 

[rumormiller]

Ordered on 3/5. Adorama rep said the camera will ship today (body only).
