Has anybody that ordered through Best Buy received their R5 pre-order (either kit or body only)?

I am hoping they didn’t ship any today because they are going to tomorrow! 🙏

My hope came true. Changed from "delayed" to "shipped" and the delivery date is Tuesday, Aug 4th!

Seems like BB is still sorting through their stock. Good news for those who ordered through BB.

Congratulations!

My order still shows as delayed, but maybe that will change soon.

It would be nice if they could tell a customer where they were in the order queue. I mean, my local public library can tell me where I am in the "borrow a newly released item" queue.

Good luck to you! Yes, an estimated ship date for pre-orders would be helpful even if it is not 100% accurate to give peace of mine.

They definitely need to change the cancel your order if not shipped within a week of being delayed thing! That is ridiculous.

BB's automated system just gave me good news, confirmed by a call to a live rep. Briefly, the item is in the warehouse waiting to be picked up. They are saddling and watering the delivery mule and my "get by" date is supposedly August 10! Of course, I will believe it when I get a tracking number.

I got the tracking number!
