"Hello Mxxx, my name is xxxx
Unfortunately at this time we do not have an estimated ship date for your order. Although we have received a few shipments, it is being released in limited quantities by Canon. All pre orders are filled in the same order that we received them. Please be assured that your order is important to us and will be shipped as we continue to receive stock.
We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding."
I am very afflicted. Again painful expectation. It was necessary to order in Singapore or Hong Kong.
Not in B&H

Great info guys, thanks!
Maybe moving forward when people post about the status of their order (positive or negative) they could put the date and time they placed the order.
Anyone have earlier than the 3/14 3pm EST Eric S. Klein negative response?
Should I start a new thread to track B&H shipments this way?
I know it will help give some of us some mental relief to at least get a sense of where we stand on our order. This wait has been painful.
EDIT: I have started a new thread for B&H customers to track the status of their orders

Fyi....My chat with BandH an our ago was totally different. Contrary to several who have received shipping notifications from Band H, he stated they have yet to even receive any shipments of the 1dx as yet but do expect them today or tomorrow. He wasn't able to tell me if mine would be shipped in this one or not. I pre-ordered 3/16 and do not expect it to ship anytime soon. It's a crap shoot with who you talk to, how much info they know or possibly care to divulge.
I need medication or a good psych, I've never been so anxious over anything in my life. I'm not a pro but I am lucky enough to be able to afford one - I turned 50, life is short...I want the best camera canon has for my intended use - fast action, high ISO, low light. Sports and live concerts....Perfect for me! Good luck to all!

I also ordered the evening of the 14th and have been told that I won't make it out of the first shipment, and maybe not the next.DrDeano said:

Has the shipping info been updated?
On 7/4 my info said shipped, but the tracking info only has the Origin scan and nothing else. Is it actually en route?

I also ordered mine on 3/14/12 in the evening (just after 9:30 CST). What I was told is it was after business hours, so they considered it ordered on 3/15/12. My order number is 101989xxxx.
They cannot give me any shipping or delivery date for my order. The fact of the matter is they don't know.

UPDATE 7/7 AM:
MY order was in fact picked up from B/H by UPS on 7/4, but they were 'closed' for the holiday so not actually processed until 7/5, and it is now officially en route (Philadelphia) for a Pittsburgh delivery. Somewhat frustrating that I paid for NEXT Day air and it won't come for 5 days later. I didn't pay for next 'business' day, and if I did, that should still have been 7/6 not 7/9. Anyways, what's 5 days when we have been waiting 7 months since announcement....

It isn't an Adorama decision as to whether or not to give CPS members priority shipping; it is a Canon decision. We can certainly add to any customer profile that he/she is a CPS member, but for this release, Canon, as I said, is not allocating units specifically for these customers.
I'm really sorry; you would need to contact Canon themselves to challenge this. (Not that I would expect it to change their policy on this occasion, but it might be worth registering your feelings with them)

Wow, now even Adorama is in CR threads, I'm glad you guys care that much about peoples opinion about you.
Regarding the CPS decision: I think it's a good thing, otherwise CPS members who were too lazy or just too late to order early could've blocked other peoples cameras. I would've been pissed if I ordered from Adorama on the 14th and then some CPS guy would order in June and still get his camera before me... So Canon really has a point there.
About my camera:
I went to my store yesterday and asked again. He took a look at the list and told me the following: "Well, you're the first one on the list. As soon as shipment comes, you'll get yours and you'll be contacted by us.". When I inquired when the camera shipment should come he told me that he expects it in the next weeks. He said it could be that I get it next week, but it could just aswell be in two weeks. Or even three. However, I don't think it will take more than two weeks.
But we'll see. As long as I know I'm first on the list, I'm waiting quite happily

REALLY?? No benefit for brand loyalty? What about airline frequent fliers. Ever get on the plane first or get upgraded to first class simply because you got to the airport first? Don't think so; platinum members, whether Canon or other programs, often get perks like that.
I find it surprising that the CPS program did NOT facilitate getting the 1Dx into the hands of their most loyal (? Lazy) supporters, who might be working when pre-sales begin.
NOW, if they announce WHEN the pre-sale will begin, with enough advance notice so everyone can sit at their computers at the same time, then I agree; but without such advance notice as to when pre-sales begin, working pros are at a disadvantage, and in that case loyalty should mean something.
Being a Platinum CPS member did not help me get my order in, in fact it was sheer luck (or some may say my obsessive-compulsive nature) that I checked the CR / B&H site when I did.
I'd much prefer Canon announce WHEN they will announce the pre-sale start dates! This way I can plan my golf /photography / work around my computer time

Eh - the 'last-minute prima-donna' argument is a good one, but I don't think it's unreasonable to move CPS orders to the front of the queue within given intervals-- perhaps 2 weeks or 30 days. If ordering 'officially' opened on March 1, my June order shouldn't beat yours out the door... but if your livelihood depends on your gear and you need one for a fixed-date event, your order should take precedence over my butterfly-chasing.

What about the time period before the 1D X was announced (October 2011 and back to the beginning of the Earth)? Did everyone still need the 1D X (not in existance yet) for their fixed-date event? Nobody NEEDS the 1D X for a fixed-date event. Unless your gear was sold foolishly before you had 1D X in hand, why can't people just shoot as normal until they get it? I can never understand this.

No idea. If I recall, this announce-long-before-release thing is uncommon for Canon. I wasn't in the market when the 1D3 and -4 came out - can anyone comment on the announce-release-stock timeline for those models?
That said, interval prioritization isn't obviously a terrible idea even for long preorder periods. You don't have to sell your existing kit to miss out on work because what you have is inadequate. My 20D is fine for studio and still-life, and workable for non-critical, well-lit sport, but you won't see me dipping toes in the wedding/reception or serious sports pools until I've learned the ins and outs of my 1DX.
