X100 VI supply

I ordered at 10:08pm. I received an email from B&H today saying they expect to ship my order by end of March.
So 8 minutes after they went on sale on the 20th? It started at 1:00 AM Eastern Standard Time here.

Also, did you reach out and contact them and they replied with the information or did you receive the email unsolicited?
I think I might have posted a question on the customer service page.

10:08 Pacific time.
Now that makes sense, I was thinking you ordered at 10:08pm on the 20th. So I was exactly 10 minutes after you at 1:18am EST on the 20th so hopefully we'll both be in the next shipment, but based on the way things have been going I could be 1000+ orders behind you in that 10 minutes. 😱

I just received this from B&H a few seconds ago.

I purchased mine from BestBuy on the release day (early morning). My camera was delivered yesterday (3/5). Love it! :-D
 
Received the same email from B&H. I ordered around 2am on the 20th.

2:00am should be good news for a lot of folks then. I ordered at 1:18am EST so there should be a lot of orders between 1:18 and 2:00am

I ordered 1:04 EST, got the email.
 
Sorry, I misread your email from B&H. Mine says it will NOT ship in March. I ordered a black one at after 2am

"Thank you for your pre-order of the new Fujifilm X100VI. The response to this new camera launch has been tremendous and well in excess of Fujifilm’s projections.

We shipped out the first delivery of the X100VI on February 28th and have been working closely with Fujifilm to secure additional inventory to fill your order as quickly as possible. While we expect to receive additional inventory in March, based on Fujifilm’s projections, we will not have sufficient inventory to fill your order in March. We will update you as soon as we receive additional information from Fujifilm, which we hope to have within the next two weeks. Please note that both the Silver and Black versions of the X100VI are similarly affected. Also please note that this information is subject to change if Fujifilm’s shipping calendar changes.

We apologize for this situation and assure you we are working our hardest to resolve it quickly. While we regret this delay, we are confident that you will love this new camera and its innovative technology. If anything changes, we will send an update."
 
It seems BH Photo should have a policy in place to protect its many loyal customers. Wouldn’t limiting the number of purchases by any one individual allow more folks to have a chance of purchasing the camera without having to wait who knows how long. I will not support the scalpers out there squeezing the consumer. I would venture to say most of them wouldn’t know an aperture from a shutter speed. I could be wrong, but I think I’ve seen product advertisements limiting the number of a single item available per purchase.

The few local camera stores never looked so good. At least I’m only eighth in line. With a little luck, I may see one by Christmas. I ordered yesterday and have another order with BH put in late evening of Feb22. The BH order I’m guessing is out there at least a year if not longer.

Good luck to all who have an order in for one camera with the intent of actually going out there and enjoying it.
 
Crazy.
 
Any Aussie looking for silver x100vi. Amazon AU have two in stock
 
I think you will find, as people cancel their multiple orders, that one or two will be available in each shop in the next delivery drop.

No sign of mine yet and I also ordered it on the 23rd from LCE. However I ordered it from my local LCE store which might make a difference?
