Fuji X-Pro1 due on March 20?

I feel the same way. I sold off most of my old gear in advance of moving to the X-Pro1 (in retrospect, maybe not the best move), because I was confident the order would be met before my trip. But, with so little communication, I just can't take the risk. I've had mine pre-ordered through B&H for quite sometime...enough to see the expected availability date bounce from March 20-March 8- March 28. Now, on the eve of that date, there's still no word, so I just decided to go out and find one instead of waiting for them to show up here.

Now, I'll just wait impatiently for the postal system to get it to me. 😀

Mee too. I've been checking the tracking page several times. I would have paid for faster delivery but there was no other option. I see that it is supposed to be 2 days from the processing facility to a major city, so add a day on either end, and it could take 4 days.

I hope to get it Friday, but I should have it early next week. (I bought Monday afternoon and it shipped Tuesday morning). I don't have a trip, but will be taking a lot of photos over the Easter weekend, so I should have it by then. (we lack a 'knock on wood' emoticon)
 
Not sure how bad Fuji's job communicating has been. All the major sites have had the same date for weeks now, except for B&H's temporary bounce.

They may not have been great on the dealer end, but there hasn't been any reason for Americans to think it was coming weeks early or not coming at all.
 
Steve Huff site .. He got his xp1 from Fuji USA today. He did an unboxing and first look video. These are not the pre-release stuff. If Fuji USA is shipping out to evaluators, I would hope that Amazon, b&h, etc should be seeing the first ships from Fuji soon.

Well, B&H has been sitting on March 28 for a few weeks now, and as of today, they have no word of when it will be in. Adorama has heard nothing. So, the communication from Fuji and their reps appears to have been "not so good".

It's not a big deal really...they have stated "end of March" for quite some time, and that may very well still be met. If I wasn't in a hurry to have one in hand for personal reasons, I wouldn't be sweating it. But, with so little info out there, and retailers shutting down for periods of time coming up, I just decided it wasn't worth the hand wringing...so I went to Canada. 🙂

Just ordered mine w/ the 35mm from Henry's. Does anybody with experience know how long shipping typically takes from Canada (I'm in Colorado, if that helps)? 😱 They say they ship U.S. Express. Had mine on pre-order from B&H since early February, but I have a trip in two weeks, and can't really risk getting stuck behind the closure they have coming up. Thanks...

Your situation is almost identical to mine (except I leave for my trip in THREE weeks 😉). I placed my order with Henry's this morning and I received the shipping notice from Canada Post this afternoon. I'm located in Montana. I expect to receive it next week, but I might get lucky and have it by the weekend.

B&H has the March 28th date, but no other major retailer has posted date and just say they have no idea.

I think for each person the ability to wait is different. I image some other posters are thinking "why are these guys so impatient?".

If you don't have a trip coming up or if you already have an X100 or a M9, then it may not be that bad. I've only been shooting film, but finding time to develop/scan has been very difficult since baby #2 arrived in December that I'm shooting less because of it.

Btw, my package has left Canada 🙂 (Now we'll see just how quickly it can get through customs)

Like I was saying, regardless of warranty stuff, I am happy to see you are getting one. Now I just wanna see the shots you produce the moment you unbox it!

Do you guys at Precision get any deliveries yet?

We still have not heard anything from Fuji. I think we are just going to get a big surprise from UPS eventually, without any kind of forewarning. Unfortunately we have not gotten our daily delivery as of yet. The moment they come in I will be letting people know that their camera is here and ready for completion of the order. I will also be letting everyone know the deluge has started on our pre-order thread when they come in. Thanks for bearing with us & Fuji folks, we are right on the cusp of a major moment in digital photography history!
 
If there haven't been business deliveries by 1pm Central, I wouldn't hold out hope for today.

Now, I'll join in the chorus - in blowing the only date anyone had, Fuji is screwing up.

No deliveries today for anyone as far as I know, but the cameras will be distributed to dealers by the end of the week.

I wouldn't bet anyone's camera gets delivered before middle of next week. (If your store is not recognizing the Passover, if it is it might be even later.)
