Same here. I canceled this one and ordered the next one up (for $25 more) with firewire. The order was picked for shipping the same hour!

I think amazon must have hired a new shipping department. This is becoming standard operating procedure. If it keeps up I'll be shopping a lot less via http://amazon.com.

Yea I know, I ordered mine on May 2, and was waiting for it. Then I realized that it is not going to be delivered until July 14. It seems as though this item is backordered, but yet they still put the status of the item as "in stock".

I agree. I too pre-ordered in early Aug and I also received the moved up email only to find out it was later than stated. As long as I get mine in time for Christmas I don't care, but at this point I am a little worried that I'll even get it by then. I hope that Amazon takes the lessons learned from this and other hot pre-orders like the Wii Fit to heart and improve on their service level standards. **Update** I was checking my account for another reason and I see now where I should be getting mine by the 24th of this month. Odd. But good news for me, I hope it actually ships then.

Oh from Amazon? Yeah I got some generic email from them before that said your "item is no longer in stock" which lead me to believe anything we hear from amazon regarding this is useless (since they never had it in stock)

I preordered this from Amazon when it became available, and got an e-mail yesterday saying that the expected delivery date was the 13th. Since I picked overnight shipping, I take that to mean that they expect to ship my order by Monday, but obviously can't confirm that this is going to happen.Edit: Like those below, got the order update the day after it should have shipped.

Ok, unless they receive enough orders to qualify for a volume discount from the supplier the delays will continue. They figure the low price will attract buyers, they only place their order if they have the volume to make a profit on the deal, otherwise they just delay...again. Frankly, I have had the same experience three times now and that's enough to sour me on the great Amazon experience. The last time I even tried to cancel, but they couldn't cancel because the item status was "shipping" even though the date to ship kept moving in two week increments. It finally arrived and I told FEDEX that I refused delivery and they came back to return the item to Amazon (what a waste!). Never again will I fall for an Amazon promise!

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.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

I ordered my MacBook on May 18. The shipping date shown at check-out was July 21. (Yikes!) But today I checked my "Where's my stuff" and the ship date had changed to May 23. (Whew). Note I did NOT receive an email stating this change. So I'm sure there's a big backup, but they seem to be moving through. I'll post if anything changes.*** EDIT: Nothing shipped as of the 23rd, i #went in to change my shipping address to my home instead of my office, and the est date jumped back to July 22. I'm assuming the May 23 date was a mistake all along. Thaks, Amazon. *** I ordered my MacBook on May 18. The shipping date shown at check-out was July 21. (Yikes!)

I ordered mine on June 24th and it still hasn't been shipped as of July 8. My account shows it will be shipped between July 22-Aug 8. I also requested 2 day shipping as it was an option at checkout. I'm not sure why they display that option when in fact it is not really an option.

Same thing just happened to me. Amazon gets these in lots, and allows pre-orders until those lots fill up. In fact, Amazon never sees the Wind, it gets shipped directly from the manufacturer to the buyer. So what probably happened was there are more delays and MSI isn't sure when it can start shipping the lot we're in.What's strange is that this close to the expected ship date, we don't know when it will ship. MSI should at least know how long the delay is.I'll be keeping my eye on other sites to see if they're in stock. I wouldn't go with mwave, since they're charging an extra $80, unless you really want it now.I'm curious if anyone has talked to an amazon rep to see if they have any details on the situation.

It's currently showing as out of stock. Was it out of stock when you ordered it? I would like to order one, but not if the out of stock condition will persist for weeks as it seems to be in your case. The description from Amazon doesn't give any indication of when or if it will be back in stock.

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered. Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

amazon generally overshoots their estimated delivery dates. most times i've found things to arrive anywhere from 3-5 sooner than the projected time frame (if you used the super saver/standard shipping method). either way, i think the question has been answered

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 placed my order as soon as Amazon had it available as 'Pre-Order'. When the order was placed, my order status was "Not Yet Shipped". As of Thursday, the status has changed to "Shipping Soon"Don't know if that helps, just FYI :)Edit: my order just changed to "shipped" and will arrive Monday!

Just spoke with an Amazon rep and he seemed to know exactly what was going on. He said they expect to receive a batch of them at the end of September (and ship 1st week of October) and then another at the end of October (and ship the 1st week of November).I asked him about quantities ordered and if he thought they would be able to fill orders that were placed about 2 weeks ago. He said it is probable since Amazon's buyers have been watching the popularity of this product and likely ordered enough to cover the pre-orders.I feel better because the September date goes along with what another Amazon rep told me last week.

I am in same boat guys, I did notice on eBay a lot of the vendors are saying "pre-order till March 11". Hard to imagine Amazon getting it much later than them. Good luck.
