It's available for order now, in case you missed the other thread.

Ordered at 11:29 AM.
At 1:44 PM, I got the message that it is backordered and they expect to ship in 1 - 2 weeks. <sigh> |

A backorder status could mean good sales or they only had a couple in inventory and they got scooped up by those of us who ordered first thing this morning, probably the latter, but who knows. |

Check your order status online. I didn't get an email, but online it says I'm backordered (placed the order around 10:30 EST).

Yep, I probably spoke too soon. Mine is now showing backordered as well, but the shipping information on the main page still shows as shipping in 1-2 days. At least we have processed orders, so that is progress.

I checked the website this morning and my status has changed to "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 1 - 2 days". Looks like progress although I'll feel better once I get an actual tracking number

I just got a "Your shipment is on its way" email. Yea!
Only problem is that it was sent UPS. That means it will take an extra 3 days. One day for them to attempt delivery (I'm up a bad gravel road and haven't seen the ground since Dec), another day for me to attempt to stop them from delivery and actually stop them, and a final day for me to go to the depot and pick it up. But, I'm not complaining - they say it is on its way!!! |

Has anybody tried ordering a DR800SG from BestBuy via a freight forwarding company? I have registered at shipito, got an address from them, but when I started filling the order form at bestbuy I noticed the infamous warning that they don't ship to known freight forwarding companies. so I broke off in the middle of the ordering process and decided to check here first.
So, any experiences? |

Yeah, there's a single one-star review that claims receipt of an open/repackaged DR800 that was missing items. Not something that inspires confidence.

I am not sure if there are any other US resellers you can try. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt just to go through the purchase process at BestBuy. I suppose the worst that could happen is that they just don't ship and refund your money. On the other hand, they might not know all "known forwarders".

I wrote an email to shipito, maybe they can think of something, i'll try with the personal street address (as HansTWN suggested), something is bound to work
