Pre-ordered body on the 3rd from Adorama and the status just changed to "packed".

I got a call from American Express today about fraudulent charges in New York for $3499....had to tell them it was me buying my 5d mkIII. Then I called Adorama to make sure the transaction went through. I did one day shipping and it should arrive at my doorstep tomorrow.

I pre-ordered a few minutes after the pre-order page came online btw.

About 10 minutes after the packed status showed up I received a shipping notice with tracking number. done!

Adorama order will ship today or tomorrow. Not ordered till the afternoon on March 2nd, so the first batch will be pretty generous, it seems. Status still says pending, but found out when they tried to charge my card. CS was VERY nice.

Got tracking number. Yay.

Got my order confirmation email on 3/1 at 11:25 PM CT... got my "Shipping Notification" email today at 3:04 PM CT.

I just check in the B&H thread and they are not too happy. So far, it looks like Adorama is in the lead!

Just checked Adorama and there doesn't appear to be a "pre-order" on the kit. It's IN STOCK~!

Ah, missed the fine print.

I called - Only Kit in stock. unfortunately they charge tax to NJ.
Didnt know that!

I ordered it yesterday with the combo deal they have. My order is now listed as PACKED!

 

[kirispupis]

I missed out on the combo deal which is a bummer but I placed an order and they verified that it will ship either today or at latest tomorrow. I canceled my order with B&H. For the record both Adorama and B&H were very friendly and helpful over the phone - but the spoils go to those who can supply the camera.

B&H did mention that they believed it would ship on Monday, but I have a view house to photograph this weekend and would like to have the 5D3 handy for it.

BTW. Thank you for reporting this as thanks to the info here I should have my camera this weekend.

SAME HERE~!!!!!

Guess they must have a lot of kits on hand. Either way, I'm really really excited!!

Edit:

I just received my tracking number from Adorama. Ordered the kit yesterday and it's shipping either today or tomorrow. Can't be any happier! Really glad I cancelled my BH pre-order and went for the kit bundle. THANK YOU ADORAMA!
