Unreal. I ordered at the same time on B&H - dropped into my cart two seconds after it went live and slammed through the order process as fast as that - 30 seconds or so. But my Z9 is still backordered.
There must have been on hell of a bitstorm of orders during that first minute. Congratulations on landing early.
Don't feel so bad. If the CS rep at B&H I spoke to this morning was accurate (as some have reported some rather absurd stuff some reps told them) they are now stuck without more product, and while they were previously supposed to see another trickle show up on the 30th, he pulled a report that stated they are now not expecting more product in till "maybe" mid to end of January due to ships not docking yet and the unloading and shipping to Nikon USA for distribution is all slowed down now ...
Well, I don't have any irons in the fire on the Z9 delivery issue since I did not order one. That said, the comment in your post about someone telling you that Nikon supply is stuck on container ships MIGHT not be right. I was told by a knowledgeable sales rep at a major camera store in the Los Angeles area that sensitive electronics like cameras, etc. are shipped airfreight so as to avoid potential damage to the electronics from exposure to salt air moisture from long duration stays on container ships. Whether that turns out to be absolutely true I don't know. But makes sense to me. I hope that it is as I wait for my pre-ordered 100-400 S lens.
