Mostly curious about Amazon. If you have got one in transit I'd be curious to know when you ordered.

And conversely, anyone got a delay email?

I've gotten neither, but they still think one will ship out to me today. Ordered the 13th.

Yep, I wouldn't expect it, but they are still saying I'll have tomorrow. Kudos to them if they pull that off.
 
This is what I got in the e-mail after chatting with a representative. He probably meant March 21st since it is my estimated delivery date.

Hello,

I can confirm that we still expect to ship your order in time to be delivered to you by March 1, or a little longer.

We'll send you an e-mail when your order is shipped with your tracking number. Your order could ship any time between now and right before the estimated delivery date.
 
I contacted Amazon with a question of changing my method of payement and if I do will I lose my spot in the pre-order line. Well during my conversation this is what I got from the Amazon rep regarding shipping estimates

Pawxx:Kenneth, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

We are getting thousands of contacts for this product. We still not receive the item from the supplier. Supplier didn't fulfill their promises to deliver the item on time. Due to which, Amazon is also facing many problems. I am very sorry, the item is currently out of stock. And once it is in stock, we will definitely ship the item as soon as possible.

Me:Ok. Did I loose my spot in the pre-order line?

Pawxx:You are not losing the pre-order line but its just a mistake from the supplier and unfortunately, you won't receive this item sooner.

good luck all
 
Not encouraging, but sounds like there's some glimmer of reality in that feedback. In a way that's better than the "Oh, you and everyone else on the planet will all have this camera INSTANTLY!" kind of response we've been getting.

Oh man... my hemorrhoids are hurting so bad that I can't get out of my computer chair to check the front door. UPS just dropped off a squarish box about 10 x 12 inches...When I am feeling up to it I will go check and see what is in the box..... crossing my fingers.....

; )
 
Ordered with overnight shipping within an hour or so of the preorders initially going live on Amazon.

Just spoke to an Amazon rep as below...

"You are now connected to Ankush from Amazon.com.

Me:The item says it'll arrive by tomorrow...but it's not even preparing for shipping yet...is there a delay?
Ankush:Hello, my name is Ankush. I'll be happy to help you today.
The item will be shipped anytime and you will get the item by the date.

Me:Okay...I was just hearing rumors of the Amazon not even receiving the camera from you distributor, so people were going to be missing the expected date. But what you're telling me is that I will receive the item tomorrow. Correct?
Ankush:No need to worry, you will get the item by the date."

Good luck with that! Just think, it might be a large shipment of Preparation H!
 
Called again, they said they had an indication that they now have an unknown amount of inventory and there's still a good chance they will ship tonight. Not sure I believe them at this point, but I hope they are correct.

I also noticed that the listing now shows "Add to Cart" not "Pre Order" and they they say, "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months".

Oh, and there's a review now, LOL! Looks like they've shipped at least one!

"3 of 150 people found the following review helpful
5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait!, March 20, 2012
By Llucian Burrows - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (Electronics)

Camera just came out today, can not wait to try my hand at it and test it out. If you did not pre-order it you can expect a long wait before it becomes available again. Enjoy Nikon's latest DSLR masterpiece!"
 
I decided to actually speak to them, rather then have a chat session. When I explained that I could not understand how it is due tomorrow and had not shipped, the young lady went away for a 5 mins and came back telling me they could not ship and did not know when the distributor would get it to them..... back to square one... Amazon are normally much better then this...

So there is a glimmer of hope Amazon may be able to pull through after all.

That's the glass half full way to see it. Amazon has no idea what's actually happening in their warehouse may be the more accurate way to look at it.

I think that they have shipped at least one (since there's a review) but aren't shipping more today means to me that they've gotten their tiny initial allocation and it could be weeks or months before they ship any more.

At least you got someone who did more than re-read some incorrect information from their screen.

umm... did you read that "review"? It's a bozo saying "I can't wait to get this awesome camera!" and he then rated it 5 stars. without seeing it or touching it. Everyone should click the "report this review" button as it's ridiculous to have a rating for a camera no one has seen.

As far as we can tell, no one other than a few NPS members have received a D800, and we can't find anyone on Amazon who reliably has even received a "shipped" notice.

Ah, your right. I misread it. I was hearing "Camera just came IN today, can not wait to try my hand at it and test it out." when what the review actually says is, "Camera just came OUT today, can not wait to try my hand at it and test it out."

So, yep I was thinking he had it in hand, but your right he's probably in the same boat as the rest of us.
 
I just received this email from Amazon. Looks like they won't be getting cameras until the 23rd.

Hello,

We wanted to give you an update on your order for the "Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)." Although we expected to start shipping the camera to customers on March 20, Nikon will be sending us our initial shipment of this product on March 23, 2012. This means the camera will not ship by our original estimate.

Due to the high demand for this item, we may not be able to fulfill all customer orders at the same time. Since product supplies from Nikon will be very limited, we will ship your product as soon as inventory becomes available.

We hope to see you again soon.

Sincerely,

Customer Service Department

Yep. I was just going to post my identical message. At least reality is starting to show it's ugly head.

See y'all on Friday when we can do this whole silly game once again!
