My Ship Date Changed! Last week I got an email from Amazon telling me that my item would ship between 11/26 and 11/28. Yesterday I applied a gift certificate balance to my order and it changed my ship date until after Christmas! I'm livid! I called Amazon, and they tried to tell me that I'll get a new email with the new shipping date, and that all orders now say that because the items in not in stock. Right. We'll see. My order number hasn't changed, nor my order date, just the balance they'll charge my card once it ships. Sorry for the rant. Anyone else ever have this done to their order? My Ship Date Changed!

Ok, My EX475 shipped today also. Although the tracking number doesn't work.

My EX475 (two 500GB drives) shipped today. Original ship date was Dec 11th to 26th, so at least in my case, it'll arrive much earlier than the originallyl scheduled date.

The HP Home and Home Office Store has it in stock! I cancelled my pre-order at Amazon and went to the HP store. It was about $30 more, but they had a $20 off coupon.

Odd you should mention that, similar thing happened here. First I had an estimated delivery date, applied certificates, and then it went back to out of stock. The original response from Amazon made it sound like an unexpected supply issue on their end. I e-mailed Amazon again to try and get a better answer.Rather frustrating, especially when it pops up as in stock sometimes, only to be from ANTOnline and not Amazon.

Sorry for the delay in my response; i just found this as i was emptying my spam file. Nothing else was scheduled to be included in the box, per the Amazon email to me of 10/16/14. It shows up as a separate order. The items i bought that day were grouped into several orders, each with its own order number. So far nothing has happened and i need to know what to do about this. I sent a second email to Amazon and am awaiting a response.

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. 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.

My dates just changed today from October 8-15 to:Shipping estimate: November 30, 2007Delivery estimate: December 5, 2007 - December 7, 2007 I don't think Amazon wants to honor their $40 price, and want us to cancel the order.They have them right now, in stock, for $86.95!

I ended up cancelling my pre-order on Amazon and ordering on Newegg (same price; free shipping) earlier today. Status of my order: shipped. Sorry, Amazon. You're still showing this item on pre-order, so I went where my money will actually buy a computer, not just the promise of one some day in the unspecified future. In the end, it might be that my order from Amazon would have arrived on the same day. However, I prefer the certainty of knowing my computer is already on the way from Newegg versus the uncertainty of "pre-order."

Great question. I cannot confirm it, but I just chatted with Amazon to see if they could and here was the response: "Asheesh:I have escalated this issue to the management team. I request you to wait for 7 days. We will correct this as soon as possible." If I get a response, I'll post it.

I, too, received an email saying the MkIV would be delivered on January 19th, to only get a message five days later out of nowhere asking me to re-approve my order. I replied to customer service and got this long-winded email of basically "we're sorry, we don't have it, we'll give you free shipping when it does come [but I already had Prime trial for three months, so apparently the customer service rep was asleep], sorry for inconvenience, we'll upgrade your shipping, we know you don't like to wait," etc. It was really poorly written (just like my summary of it). It even referred to my order as a "book." Weird Amazon experience. Yes, please post when your pre-order ships.

Hee hee. I know how you feel, I watched pleo with a Dec 18 ship date for a couple weeks while I shopped around seeing if I could find one for less that was immediately available. Over a week before the ship time, I ordered, then called on the 18th asking some VERY NICE (but not particularly knowledgable) CSR in India who told me it would arrive on the 19th as scheduled. I called back that day (the 19th), and they said "I'm still vely soory sire, but the day is not yet concluded, if you do not receive it today, you may check on why this is exactly so tomorrow." Then I found out folks who ordered from Amazon after me, INCLUDING the day before, got theirs the next day. Anyway, etoys came through with a free 3-foot stocking and free overnight shipping. Back to the "Hee - hee" -- I'm pretty darn sure that Mr. B had nothing to do with it. In fact, as a customer with hundreds and hundreds of purchases from his interesting and innovative product-delivery system, this is the very first time Amazon hasn't MORE THAN exceeded my expectations. I would guess that the anticipated quantity was not sent by Ugobe to Amazon. Hey, maybe etoys got Amazon's delivery instead of them! And yeah, Best Buy's pretty good too. But it's about 1 purchase to every 20 that I make on Amazon.

Sweet - I just got an email from Amazon saying to expect delivery between the 10th and 29th. That wasn't so comforting, but if I view my order status, it looks like the estimated ship date is December 7th.

I wouldn't panic, the couple of times I've been upgraded to Release Date delivery I don't get a shipping notice until fairly late in the day the day before.. then it gets overnighted to me, and it's up to UPS to screw the whole thing up. (which they've done. ;) )

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

I just looked at saw that, also. Perhaps that is just general wording for all buyers. But if you are a Prime member, go ahead and put it in your shopping cart. Then check the delivery time there. It should be ok. If not, just delete it.

I just got the "items shipping soon" notice on my S90 purchase. I'd pre-ordered on September 25th, so Amazon seems to be prioritizing based on pre-order order (sorry for the double word use!) -- at least based on the comments above mine.Good thing, too; I was just about to head over to a few Best Buy stores in my area, and, based on any supposed success, cancel the Amazon pre-order. It all worked out in the end for me -- it's all good. :-)UPDATE: My order has just shipped, due to arrive on October 14th. Awesome!

Yes, my expected delivery date was suppose to be feb. 19. When I asked the amazon rep why my order had not shipped yet as of feb. 18 I got concerned. Her excuse was that there were many who had preordered and that they did not have enough to fill the preorders. I said that doesn't make sense, I preordered mine back in nov of 2013, how could I not have one reserved already? The only solution they suggested was to cancel my order and order from one of the other seller on amazon and they would refund the difference in total price paid. Which isn't a good option because if there were any issues with the item, I would have to deal with sending it back overseas and that would be more of a hassle in time and money. I'd much rather deal with amazon directly. What I think actually happened is their shipment has not arrived yet from their supplier whoever that may be and that's why our orders are delayed. They sent me an email that if they don't have the item by mar 21, they would cancel my order. If that happens, I will tell them to honor their first offer to refund the differnce I pay if order from another vendor. Because at that point I really wouldn't have any other choice.

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.

I preordered this last month and since I'm a prime member, I selected 2 day shipping. Just got an email last night from Amazon informing me I'll get it on release day. So, what you may have to do is go back into your order and update your shipping preference. But you CAN get it on release day.

I know! I'm getting really frustrated myself. It makes me question if I should ever pre-order from amazon again? They don't update you on anything!
