Delayed Shipment from Amazon I ordered this item from Amazon over a month ago. After about two weeks, Amazon CS told me it was on back-order. So far, the shipment date has been pushed back 3 times, yet I see that the availability still reflects shipment in 1-2 weeks. Shouldn't that be updated?

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

Why not go with Adorama? I've heard they're fairly reputable and they have the 18-55 & 55-200mm kit cheaper than Amazon.Hope you get yours soon. I've been searching around for a long time to order mine.

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

Do they charge your credit card before shipping the item? Buydig.com did that with me. they show he camera as in Stock and then when u order it, your card is charged and u are told that camera is backordered. I hope Amazon does not do that.

I totally agree with you!! Amazon should update the shipment date online. I personally feel that it is very deceiving to customers. I ordered the Nikon D50 on June 22. Amazon kept pushing the delievery date for 3 to 4 times. I just cancelled my order of Nikon d50 from Amazon and order it elsewhere.

I just ordered today and my order page says it will ship today. Will I get an email notice if it is pushed back? And has yours shipped yet, or still set for Aug 28?
344120
I ordered this on 30 June and the damn thing refuses to arrive. I am getting really angry with Amazon. Does anyone have any idea of some other place where I can get a good deal on this.
344121
Looks like I might be doing the same. Just rec'd a notice that pushed the date back again--this time to 28 August. That's two months of waiting. The availability still reflects shipment within 1-2 weeks.
344122
Mine is still set for 28 August. I ordered the d50 with both lenses. Is that the same configuration you ordered? If so, please LMK if your's ships today. If they delay shipment, you should get an eMail notice. I did. Actually, I've rec'd 3-4 notices. :(

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.

Update. Tracking says shipped twenty days ago from a city 3 Hours away. No contact on amazons part whatsoever. Nice. Sad thing is that this has happened so many times I lost count. I think it is time to short amazon stock as the service quality is gone out the window.

I am unsure why Amazon put 2 to 5 months to to actually ship the item. We ship within 1 to 2 business days of order, and the longest it would take via UPS would be 5 business days in the US.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

Lucky you, I have no update to my pre order, and the item is showing out of stock. I am seriously not impressed with Amazon's lack of communication.

Best Buy today 6/17/11 showed in stock with 2-5 day processing but after I placed my order I got an email saying it was backordered 1-2 weeks, so i cancelled. I just went ahead and got back on the Amazon preorder, at least I can avoid tax and shipping charges here.

I have not. My date has been pushed back two times, Amazon's CS can never give me a exact date, been in contact with them 4 times. :(

I ordered this item from Amazon on 4/28 and as of today, I am still waiting for it to ship. They have an estimated delivery date showing of 6/11, so I will let you know after then, but my advice is if you need this quickly - select a different source.

When I first went on the razer website (before it sold out)it stated that you could order he keyboard but would ship in 2 to 3 weeks. So yes, it has been released but who knows how many people may have already recieved their keyboard. I can definately state one thing for sure. This had been one of the most frustrating things to deal with (with regards to online ordering.) Not knowing when my keyboard will ship is kind of madding. I wish amazon would at least give us an estimate. Is it going to be 2 weeks or 2 months? I'm sure amazon could get an answer from Razer with regards to when they be getting their shipment of keyboards and then pass that information onto their coutemers.

Sometime I wonder why they take so long to ship, you might order something form someone selling the item from home and they don't get around to it for awhile. Most things on Amazon are from sellers with 1000+ sells though so you know they are a company/ business. You would think that they would ship the next day or so but sometimes it seems to take a lot longer than you would expect...

it is now 4pm eastern time and mine stills says not shipped yet so knowing amazon it will say this until the April 12 (my expected arrival date)and then get changed even though it is already obvious it is not getting shipped because they have already updated this site from saying backordered to 1-3 months heaven forbid amazon actually only preorder the amount they are getting and not make false claims, I spoke to them and they stand by the computers saying it is getting mailed out today yet when I asked if they can double check they put me on hold 20 min then hung up

Thanks very much for your response. Since mine was "finally" delivered they kept emailing me and asking me to take the low rating off because it might affect their sales. I really didn't want to do so because that's really too long to wait for something but did just to make them leave me alone. Amazon really should make room for explanations about that--all I could give as a reason was "other" and that didn't quite seem fair to other buyers.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Amazon do over estimate delivery times and the times can be quite long but usually the date of delivery within the UK is 3 to 5 working days. Kind Regards Amy

Amazon told me the "fulfillment center" nearest to my zip code did not have any of these in stock, so they had to get my order shipped from a different "fullfillment center" not as close to me. (As justifying the May 10th estimate) Ok, so I could see that maybe delaying it a couple days, but if they are truly preparing our orders to be shipped I would expect they should be actually going out by Friday. With "2 day express" on the order, it shouldn't matter where in the country the order is being shipped from, it's up to them to fulfill the 2 day shipping promise.Right?

Hello, thank you for your question. I can offer some insight into why this item is listed as "Usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks". The reason it will be taking this amount of time is because it will be ordered from a distributor and is expected to be prepared for shipment within 3-5 weeks of your order. Have a good day!
