Why is Amazon so slow to release this? Why is Amazon so slow?

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

I'm pretty sure when Amazon says it takes 2 to 4 months to ship, it means that their out of stock.. I've had things on my wish list waiting for the price to drop, and that normally ship Prime in 2 days. When they sell the quantity they have, that's when you see them put the ships in 2 months up.. That's Just what I've noticed.. Hope this helps..

Update on discussion with Amazon rep. He said the the following:"I have checked the details and for sure that it will be released by 27th for sure. It might be released before but for sure it will be released by 27th. There is a issue with the item for not being in stock."I don't know what he meant by the issue of not being in stock. Perhaps Amazon has not gotten them in yet.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

Yeah I know, it's terrible how long it's taking honestly. It's now the 18th, and it still says not yet shipped, since tomorrow is Friday, and they don't do weekend shipping, it'll be 22nd on Monday and it STILL won't be in I'm pretty sure, unless they ship it later tonight and it comes in tomorrow...With the RAM difference and with how long I've been waiting already I'm gonna have to stick with Amazon myself.

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.

I can't believe Amazons shipping either. Its like its coming from China or something. I ordered an available item and it says my item will not ship until 6 days from now. My first time shopping with Amazon. Sucks! Got the Kindle. I felt so excited to get it but now I feel angered about the shipping. How is it that everyone else is so proficient at shipping? I DO NOT understand all the hype about http://amazon.com. I will definitely reek to everyone about how long items take and recommend other internet shopping. So here I sit waiting & waiting for my kindle to cross the seas. I can't believe Amazons shipping either. Its like its coming from China or something.

I thought this laptop had already been released. As a matter of fact, I thought it was released on 3 March 2010. Is Amazon not selling the laptops until a later date?

Many vendors seem to have gotten more pre-orders than they could handle, including Amazon itself. Vendors do seem to get getting additional units as time goes on, so I don't think you've missed out at all. Just be a little patient or look for a different vendor that has the item definitely listed as in stock.

It's amazing to me that Amazon can't get stock of this product when HP and others have been shipping for weeks... what gives guys?

Hi Daniel, In the business world, there is often a disconnect between the marketing department and the design/engineering department. It was probably reported to marketing that it would have Amazon Video at release and when it wasn't ready yet they didn't spend the money to get the marketing (as well as the packaging changed). An update will probably come out soon that remedies the discrepancy. I've written a thorough review of the player and am actively updating as things change. As it is a very new product, I expect there will be more changes coming soon. 2 totally new apps appeared in the last update just a week ago.

No, Bal, for a brief moment Amazon themselves had it for preorder, and thats waht we are commenting on. It was literally only available for like a few hours. We are both waiting for a shipment update from amazon.

Nice. I have been waiting to see if I can get it before I go on my trip, and just emailed amazon today. They told me they had no idea when it would be "released" through them. Sounds like you got lucky, I should have just pre-ordered then too...

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

I am also still waiting for any kind of information from Amazon. It's quite frustrating! Newegg.com, however is showing an ETA of 11/21. I'm hoping that holds true for Amazon as well.

My Best Buy pre-order shows a release date of 10/25 so I wouldn't expect Amazon to be much faster. That being said, I do remember Google saying that they were available. Maybe their definition of "available" is different from ours...

Because Amazon doesn't have a fixed price system. Just get whatever you find cheaper.
