kowalski said:Not that it really matters, but this is a chat that I just had with the same person that told me 2 days ago that they were still waiting for last Tuesday's shipment (I know, a loyal customer clogging up the system...)
Me : I see that orders placed AFTER my order for the 1D X are being fulfilled/shipped, and I am wondering why this is happening.
B&H: Hello you. My name is xxx, and I will be glad to assist you. Please give me a few moments to begin working on your inquiry.
Me: Thanks
B&H: Please allow me a moment while I look into this for you.
Me: No worries
B&H: I have looked into this issue for you, and I see that at this point we have shipped all the 1DX's that we received from Canon. These cameras are being shipped in the order that the orders were placed here at B&H. At this point we are still waiting on the manufacturer for more information as to when the next shipment should be coming.
B&H: I apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing you.
Me: But I see on a public forum that some people that ordered hours after me are about to receive their cameras?
B&H: I can only advise you of the information available here at B&H, and i can assure you that these cameras are being shipped in the order that these orders were recieved here at B&H.
Me: Is the battery that I ordered with the camera on backorder?
B&H: No, that is available.
Me: One last thing, I shipped in some used equipment 3 weeks ago to be credited towards the ID X and haven't heard anything except that the equipment was received, is this slowing down the processing of my order and when can I expect an update from the used equipment department?
Me: quote # xxxxxx
B&H: If you would like I could connect you with that department that would be able to address your inquiry.
Me: ok, thanks
B&H has left the session.
Please wait while we find an agent from the Used Photography Sales department to assist you.
You have been connected to B&H.
B&H: Hi
Me: Hi
Me: I send in some used equipment, quote # xxxxxx, and would like to check on the status
B&H: CS is closed today please try back tomorrow
Me: ok, thanks

The canned response you get informing you that one of your items remains on backorder. For a minutes my hopes were up![]()
hhelmbold said:After a long chat with B&H I got this answer :
Me: So explain to me how a higher order number than mine could have been included in the shipment?
B&H: The order numbers have nothing to do with the time that the order was placed.
Find this hard to believe - but take it for what it's worth

neuroanatomist said:Did you provide a payment method to cover the full $6799 cost of the 1D X? If not, and the proceeds from the sale of your used items are needed to offset part of the 1D X cost, I'd say without a doubt that's going to hold up your order, until you receive the credit.
