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. :(

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

No, not true. It says 2-3 months when Amazon is out of stock. So long as there's inventory, it ships in 2-3 days.

Well just found out my estimated delivery date would be June 6th. They tried to tell me "when something is shown as temporarily out of stock"... um yeah, IT NEVER ONCE SHOWED THAT! This has truly been a pathetic experience with amazon. I am incredibly disappointed.

Thanks for the question. This item has been out of stock in the Amazon. Order now and we'll deliver when available is the arrival undecided. I do not know when product arrives in this case. If you buy this product, I recommend that you buy from other sellers. Amazon does not make contact, such as a stock to the seller. Either would have been the answer? Please contact us, if it's not you know if. Thanks in advance.

Hello, When an item is listed as "Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available," this means the item isn't ordered frequently. We can't predict exactly how long it'll take to obtain it or when we'll be able to ship it. If you place an order, we'll do our best to get the item for you, and we'll e-mail you as soon as we have more information from our suppliers. If it takes too long for us to find stock, you can cancel the order anytime before it enters the shipping process, and you won't be charged. I hope this helps!

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 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.

Just got off the phone with Amazon. Having ordered 6/2, I assumed they'd at least have some information about when they might be getting them in and when they might ship them. Instead they said they are backordered, they don't know when they will receive their shipment, and they have no clue when they will ship. Basically, the person on the phone simply read off the main product screen.My recommendation to people looking to get this is not to order from Amazon until they finish fulfilling their back order. Go with a smaller place which actually knows how many they have in stock and you can feel confident the guys going to walk over to a pile, wrap the phone, and ship it off.

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!)

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.

At this point, Apple seems to be sold out everywhere (Apple Retail Stores, Apple.com, Best Buy, etc.) and I was told by Apple that they are backordered 3-4 weeks. I don't know about Amazon.com's receipt of additional orders but I can imagine Apple would sell through themselves first before giving to other retailers. With that said, everyone I've spoken to at Apple has said the fastest way to get one is through their online store.

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.

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 talked to an Amazon rep who just confused the issue more. My order still says that the expected delivery date is October 29th. The Amazon rep said that there aren't any in stock and that they won't be shipping today. When I asked him when it WOULD ship, he said that my estimated delivery date was October 29th. When I pointed out that this couldn't possibly be accurate given what he had just said, he responded with, "the time is given to you is accurately calculated by the packaging department.So I assure you that you will get it on time." UPDATE: Sure enough, this morning I got an email saying, "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered..." so, no, they weren't shipping any of these out on Friday. I guess we all just get to wait it out now.

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. :(
