This whole experience has taught me one thing -- I need to become an NPS member before pre-ordering another Nikon product.

Despite the immense frustration of this whole process the big retailers due seem to have treated everyone fairly and according to when they ordered -- excluding NPS members, of course.

I waited anxiously for a new Nikon Camera, chose the D800E, placed a pre-order 2/7 with the most reputable dealer I thought I knew, B&H, and only one order. Now in June I understand trusting B&H was a big mistake. They have provided no customer service of any value, just prettily worded e-mails, and continue to take orders in June when not even the 2/7 orders are delivered. This all smells to pure greed, I have learned my lesson and will never come back to this photo store. Nikon also seems to be delivering randomly to all dealers regardless of how many orders they have.

I have posted the same paragraph in different discussions, my way of filing a formal complaint. Enough non-sense on this product launch.

Dear Sir, I have voiced my displeasure at the order taking and delivery of Nikon's new camera. Your apology is accepted, will patiently wait for my order with the belief that you have done the best you could, given constraints you have to deal with.

Dude, it's NOT B & H's fault!
If anything you can blame this on their good reputation being their downfall in having too many pre-orders.
Nikon distribution is the one to blame here.

They seem to have failed their biggest pro dealers like B & H and sent the cameras to places like Bestbuy etc.
I am not knocking Bestbuy by the way but it's not the first place I think of when buying pro camera gear like the D800...

As for me, I also had a NPS preorder with a local camera B + M store whom I have a great relationship with and who got me my stuff pretty quick.

FWIW, I placed my order for the D800E with B&H on the night of 2/6 (PST) - 2/7 (EST), and received my camera yesterday. you should not have much longer to wait.

B&H is the best! Just make sure you order early

Serial 3011XXX

Seems they fixed all the issue

Have had a D800E on order with B&H since 2/7, finally fed up started calling all the local shops in San Diego; Encinitas Photo, a small private and knowledgeable store had a D800 in stock (one), serial 3015XXX, got it for a standard price with a little help for taxes and no shipping. Camera is great, not quite the build of my D3, about the same picture quality but with 36 MP not 12 MP. Now I am finding out which of my lenses are really good. 35mm 1.4 ais and 16mm 3.5 non ai shine on it. Will keep the D800E order alive with B&H and maybe get it for Xmas, then sell the D800. Call your local shops.

If anyone is in the Louisville Kentucky area Murphy's Camera had about 3 D800 sitting on the shelf on 6/21
I played with one even though they knew I wasn't buying. Nice people there

Why do you need help from Henry P. Just buy the WMT one and cancel the order with B&H. Not sure why people somehow feel they need to be "loyal" to B&H. In retail loyalty is an attribute at the margins. If one retailer is clearly not meeting comittments, then you owe them no loyalty. And before people start blasting me for lack of morals, remember, this is a for-profit transaction. When you need help 3 months from now B&H will help if it is profitable for them to do so, either immediately or in the long term. Show them "loyalty" next time they have something you need and nobody else has it. I just did, with some spare parts for a Lee foundation kit that nobody else seems to sell. But I paid for my D800 at the local B&M store.

I received my D800 finally last week from B&H. My preference to purchase from B&H is not based on "loyalty" but rather preference on my part. I saved paying 7% sales tax by purchasing from B&H as opposed to buying from Walmart. I prefer the customer service of B&H as opposed to Walmart among other intangibles.

The world is coming to "profit"....and whether we like it or not, one of the largest retailers in the free world will never overlook a chance to enhance the bottom line.

Was wondering If everyone who stayed on the list in this thread has recieved his/her d800 from bH as yet? i see it says limited pre-order only. Haven't had the time to peak and see if they actually have them in the store or just for shipping.
