Anyone getting a shipping date on their K3? - Page 34

cl516 · 09-02-2010, 05:02 PM

Yeah, same here. Ordered on the 31st, when the Amazon front page still said Sept.17. My case is here too. Well, at least we're in the batch that's before the 20th supposedly. I hope mine ships early, cuz I might be travelling and then I'd miss the delivery. If I cancel, I'd get sent to the back of the line...

Just checked and it is still the same will notify when shipping is available but my cover is here. What good is the cover with no kindle.

For anyone who ordered August 7th or earlier, here's a tip (actually it was posted by someone else, but I forgot who):

Change your shipping speed between 1-day and 2-day, and your order will magically be shipped soon!

YMMV

Before this, I was seeing "Not Yet Shipped" forever!

I posted that. I changed from 2- day to one day then back again and got a shipping date of Aug. 30, but after a few days it went back to "Not Yet Shipped." The current status is "Shipping soon."

Yes! My August 7th order to Toronto Canada just shipped about an hour ago, with an estimated delivery of Sept 7th.

However it's coming from their Phoenix location. Don't they have any distribution centers on the East Coast?

Ah well, I'm just glad it's finally on it's way.

WT Sharpe · 09-03-2010, 07:54 AM

Mine just shipped with an est. arrival date of Tuesday.

chris2x · 09-03-2010, 07:57 AM

mine arrived today! :-)

Unolord · 09-03-2010, 08:14 AM

Ordered Aug 14th, changed to Shipping Soon last night.

cvkemp · 09-03-2010, 10:12 AM

I sure hope I see it go to shipping soon or shipping I recieved my cover this morning and that even makes me want my K3 more.

Mine shipped last night from Phoenix to the local UPS depot near Toronto (about 30 minute drive from my house) around 9:30 this morning, but their tracking site says it'll likely be delivered on Sept. 7th. Arggggg

TenaciousBadger · 09-03-2010, 01:05 PM

three tries to guess what's charging right at this moment.

lol, you'll only need one. yep, it's here!

even though my estimated date of delivery was september 8, it landed around 10 km away from me after 24 hours!

evidently i hounded the UPS people to get it before the weekend. waiting and pining for it for over 48 hours seemed unbearable!
so far, a couple of impressions: smaller than i expected, strangely heavier too. HarryT was right, the cord smells funky

i hope all of you get it sooner that expected

I don't use the charger or cable as the cables and charger for my phone work with the Kindle but I left it out of the packaging for a couple days and it doesn't smell now.

cl516 · 09-03-2010, 01:19 PM

Oooh, is that because of the long weekend? If you have the time, maybe you can call and arrange to pick it up in person. With some packages, you can do that. I know I've done that with stuff I just couldn't wait...

Mine went to Shipping soon (and you can't cancel it) yesterday morning. In the past, that mean the item would ship that day or the next at the latest. However, this time there is still no change in the status.

Mine stayed on shipping soon for about 48 hours before it finally was dispatched.
