I notice that this qualifies for amazon prime, but most of the reviewers say that it took over 3 weeks to come. Did anyone try to order through prime?

You can order from different sellers, most are based in Korea. It tells you how long it'll take. I ordered from a person based in the US and it only took a few days to get to me.

When I ordered this item through amazon prime it did as it promised the two-day delivery. XD

Possibly to give themselves time to restock if they sell out?? I ordered mine on Amazon Prime and they arrived in 2 days.

Well, I ordered with PRIME over a month ago and I FINALLY got the "It's shipped" notice today. So yes 1-2 months.

Generically, if you are an Amazon Prime member and specify 2 day Prime delivery, then you should expect it by the end of the second full business day after the day your order is placed. In other words if you order it Monday morning, expect Wednesday delivery. If you order late Monday night, look for Thursday delivery and count your blessings if you get it Wednesday. If you order it from a third party and it is not "Sold by ________, Shipped by Amazon" It can be anywhere from a few days to "on a slow boat from China"

I am not sure why honestly. On my page I do not have prime available for me just yet. I suggest calling amazon.

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.

Make sure you ordered from Amazon and met the requirements for PrIme. You can also call Amazon and ask

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

Tom - the item must have been out of stock when it estimated 1-2 months, but when the item is in stock it ships on Amazon Prime and arrives in 1-2 days.

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.

If you go with Amazon Prime it will takes months. If you you go with everything else...possibly a week or two.

It doesn't actually take that long to ship. If you order an Amazon Prime item it will go out within 2 business days. Thank you

It shows up in searches under Prime, because the shipping is Free. However, if you actually look on the page for this product - is says not eligible for Amazon Prime. You get free shipping at whatever speed this seller offers. Note that there is another seller offering this same product with Amazon Prime - two day free shipping. But the product price is a couple bucks more. Bottom line - it's your fault for not reading the details on the page before you bought it.

I ordered mine on January 15th and haven't heard a peep from Amazon. It used to be that they were good about being able to get new release items out in a competitive manner. It now appears that they have lost whatever edge they might have had. If I see one locally, I will buy it and will cancel my Amazon order.

Thanks for posting your question, As of today January 9, 2014 this item is listed as "Usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks." This means that if you purchase it through Amazon.com(with prime), the item will be ordered from a distributor and is expected to be prepared for shipment within 3 to 5 weeks of your order. It is also sold by 2 other sellers, please note that Prime is not eligible for items sold by sellers. These sellers may have different availability estimates. Here is a link to the page with the availble sellers:

I did the same thing and talked to customer service about it. She told me that it was not possible to get it earlier than Thursday and I could just change it back to 2 day Prime Shipping. I did that, then it bumped the delivery date to Friday. So, she ended up giving me one-day free of charge. For whatever reason, Amazon isn't getting these things out until Thursday, apparently. I also live less than 30 minutes from one of their largest distribution centers in the Midwest, so I don't know what's up with Amazon's stock, but apparently Thursday is the date for almost everyone.
