B&H sent out this email to existing D4/D800/D800E pre-orders – the situation with D800 deliveries is improving, but this seems not to be the case with the Nikon D4/D800E:
Dear ***:
You’re receiving this message because you ordered but have not yet received a Nikon D800, D800E or D4 camera.
We are happy to report that we have seen an uptick in both the frequency of D800 deliveries to us and the quantity of camera bodies per shipment and we are hopeful that this trend will continue. As we have in the past, we will continue to fill orders in the order we received them.
For the D4 and D800E we have not seen the same improvement yet but we do anticipate an increase in frequency and volume during the months of June and July.We understand that you might want to know your place in our order queue. Unfortunately, we cannot divulge this information because doing so would reveal information of a confidential and proprietary nature. We note from comments made in various online forums that several of our competitors have also adopted policies of the same nature. While we are very aware that some customers may find this policy frustrating, it is nevertheless necessary. We understand that you are interested in the speed with which your order will be filled, and we will continue to fill orders as quickly as we get cameras from Nikon USA.
We remain grateful for your patience and patronage and are honored by your trust.
