When does Amazon get these in stock? Anyone know how long it takes Amazon to get these in stock? I preordered one and it seems nearly every reseller has them in stock except Amazon.

So has anyone else got the shipping notification? Or just the delivery estimate? (edit) I'm pretty sure I'm the last one to order of those on this thread.

Although incredible, I think it's just you! I remember reading this somewhere before - others posted in a forum that Amazon doesn't give priority to the pre-orders, instead if you do what you did (cancel/re-order) its actually better. I just can't really believe that though... whats the point of pre-ordering then?!

Haha I'll give them another day. I work as a phone rep for a college and I know how it feels to get an angry person on the other line. I'll just call them up to have them reimburse my overnight shipping fee when it does come in the mail since it'll technically be 3 business days after release date. No biggie :)

I think I must have checked the shipping status like 1200 times or something... It updated about 3 hours after shipping. /shrug

I just got a text saying it shipped out. Now let's hope the mailmen won't just give in to stupidity and leave it on my front porch in the view of a gazillion passerby like they always do.Edit:Never mind! A signature will be required =D

I did pre-order mine, Oct. 15th, with an estimated delivery date range, provided by Amazon, of Oct. 31-Nov.2. However today is Oct. 31 and the item's status still shows as "Not Yet Shipped"... I've got a feeling they are not going to get it delivered by Nov. 2nd then... ... ...

Well, I ordered mine on the 12th and got them on the 15th but this was before they were on backorder. Now it says it'll be available on the 26th :( They are selling these at Hot Topic for $19.99 right now.

Probably never. Turns out Amazon allows these things to be sold when they are not even in stock. I have been waiting two months already. Not happy!

I was walking through Staples today and they had these on the floor and in stock. The sales guy at Staples said they had them since last week. I am pretty upset at Amazon--why is it taking them so long to get them in stock? If I didn't have an amazon gift certificate to use I would cancel my order and buy it at Staples.

Apparently this item is out of stock. I ordered it, paid for it, was told it was being shipped, after 2 weeks and I still hadn't received it I called amazon. They said it was out of stock and didn't know when it would be back in. I would contact amazon first to see if they even have it in stock before ordering it or anything.

I just ordered mine with Newegg earlier today. I called and they had plenty in stock. Love you AMAZON but you need to have stock in order for us to order from you. I waited more than 1 week for AMAZON to get their stock in. NADA...had to buy from Newegg.

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

I ordered mine on January 15th and haven't heard a peep from Amazon. It used to be that they were good about being able to get new release items out in a competitive manner. It now appears that they have lost whatever edge they might have had. If I see one locally, I will buy it and will cancel my Amazon order.

I am in the same boat. I ordered this about a month ago and I just got an e-mail showing that the delivery is pushed back another 1-2 weeks. I'm wondering if Amazon really does have them at all.

When did you place your order? I haven't heard anything yet..I called Amazon and they have no idea when they are getting them.Thanks.

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

Asked Amazon customer service and they said it's out of stock because so many people pre-ordered. I ordered in December and found out I won't be getting one from the initial batch.

Why do those other stores claim they have them in stock? Amazon keeps changing on me and have September 29, 2011 - November 8, 2011 dates. I'll be calling (866) 216-1072 to ask about this.You can't even buy it at Netgear's store so that's probably telling you something. I wonder if they ran into another SNAFU? Maybe we'll see them by the next CES event when the 3900 is announced.http://store.netgear.com/store/netgear/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.43976600/productPriceDescending.sort/resultsPerPage.10

I ordered one from J&R; on 5/8 when their website said "In Stock" and "ships in 1-2 days." I started getting a little nervous when I checked back on the site later that day and the status changed to "ships in 3-5" days, and yet again to "out of stock." I called them 5/11 and they told me that the product had been delayed and they had no ETA of when they would be getting any in. They canceled my order without any issue (so far), but I just wish they had been actually truthful about it being in stock when they accepted the order.

This is not an item we normally stock. So, no we do not have one in stock. Check with other Amazon vendors, I saw one that said in stock on Jan 8th. Thanks.

Not sure if folks are still wondering, but wanted to let you guys know I ordered this unit directly from Razer last week (cancelled my Amazon order) and got it in a couple days. Availability through direct sales appears to be improving, not sure if there has been any other communication on sales through resellers.
