Got a prompt reply saying "Sorry, but we are out of stock. We'll update your status as soon as we get more in." I also got a "$10 promotional certificate" for my trouble. Pretty nice customer service if you ask me...
Funny thing is, just less than 4 hours later (after 10pm Central), my order status got updated. Amazon tells me to expect delivery by 9 Dec. With my requested 2-day shipping, that means they expect to ship my order on Monday, 7 Dec.
I'll be happy if that's the way it plays out!

P.S. No credit card charge yet.



"I guess we should start a club"

I got the same type of email from amazon stating my order status change to a Dec 9th "estimated" delivery ( order date was the Nov 30 ). After the whole issue of them cancelling my order from Sept 17 and me having to re-order, I thought this was a result of them making amends by pushing me up the line, but I see every body is getting it. Which to me means, they must be expecting another batch that hasn't made it there yet but if according to plan, does make it, they hope to ship out some time soon like the 9th.

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Amazon has also removed their N900 from the list now. And they linked the third party to their original listing. However I heard about AmazingWatcher.Com which is a free website that will “watch” items for you on Amazon and let you know when amazon has them in stock at regular retail price.http://www.amazingwatcher.com

Interesting..the date has now changed from my last post to..
(I placed the order 11/20).
Not yet shipped
Shipping Estimate: December 4, 2009

No email from Amazon though... how puzzling considering the 4th is today. But it is the start of the day (7:54 AM where I am right now) so they could be shipping it out later today. *shrugs*

I'll be in Ocean City for my 2 yr anniversary (not marriage, that's coming after graduate school) this weekend and I have a paper to finish and finals coming up so I won't have time to watch its every movement.

Though I do wonder where Amazon found this stock..

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
ordered on 11/7 and shipping status is "item shipped on 12/3. estimated arrival is 12/7"

and a buddy of mine, ordered sometime around 11/20 has his estimated delivery of 12/9.

notifying that my Order of the N900 should be delived by Dec 8th.
I placed my pre-order on Nov 20th.

Yoohoo.

But now I have 2 N900's one from Nokia NYC store (due to lack of patience).

After my status on Amazon.com changed to "Delivery Estimate: Dec. 8" it took quite a few hours before I actually go an email from Amazon saying they had updated my delivery. Just be patient, i'm sure you'll get ur email! :)

From Amazon:
Quote:

If your order has not yet entered the shipping process and is eligible for Amazon Prime Shipping, you can change the shipping method to Free Two-Day Shipping or upgrade to One-Day (Overnight) Shipping for $3.99 per item through the Order Summary in Your Account (http://www.amazon.com/your-account).

When you make certain changes to an order via Your Account, our system re-evaluates our inventory to determine the best fulfillment plan for your order given the new information. Occasionally, this may result in a change to the expected shipment and delivery dates for the order.

When you make changes to shipping address, or shipping method our system will re-evaluate our inventory and the delivery dates will change.
So how many people have changed their shipping speed or address after receiving a delivery date for your ordered phone?

Did any of you get bumped to the back to a later shipping date? Or have you all gotten better shipping without it negatively effecting your position in line?

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Woo, I just got a shipping notice from Amazon!

I noticed they charged my card last night and my status changed to shipping soon, so I thought they might end up shipping it out today rather than Monday, and they did. So I should have an N900 come Monday morning (overnight shipping ftw)

Too bad it didn't ship yesterday so I wouldn't have to wait through the whole weekend. Oh well.

After 5 long tiring, horrible, 'Shipped Soon' days, I have finally received the email that I had already imagined in my dreams so many times ... :rolleyes:

Funny thing is, as of now, there is no charge on my card, at all !! Well there was one till like yesterday, which disappeared this morning .. I called the bank about this in the morning, and they said that the authorisation charge was cancelled by us since the retailer did not confirm the charge they had put on earlier in pending state. It was removed due to bank' policy of not leaving any authorisation charge in pending state for any longer than 3 days ... Most probably Amazon would realize this sooner or later and maybe try to charge my card again .. but if I get the phone for free, well ... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I ordered on Nov. 20, and received this shipping status email from Amazon yesterday:

"Estimated arrival date: December 18 2009 - December 28 2009"

(I ordered w/ super saver shipping -- seems like others who ordered w/ faster shipping methods received notices that theirs will arrive sooner -- some as early as Dec. 8?)

Rocketman 2009-12-04 23:54

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
I originally ordered mine in September and then had to cancel and reorder to lock in the $529 price and the $50 rebate, because Amazon wouldn't change my invoice date and it wouldn't have qualified under the terms of the $50 rebate. I reordered on November 19th and my order status is now showing an expected arrival date of December 9th. I received a notice that my order would not ship prior to Christmas and was actually going into my account to cancel the order when I noticed the expected ship data. If I don't get a shipping notice by the 7th-8th I will cancel my order and go with something else, likely an Android handset and a Viliv X5. Nokia and Amazon have both royally screwed up this launch.

Free super saver is taking (on papers) is taking up to 10 days. This is why you see December 18-28...

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Changed to 2-day shipping ($11 -- what the hell, why not?) and now the shipping date is Dec. 9 -- so far sounds like shipping estimates are consistent across people who ordered on the same day.

I usually receive "Super Saver Shipping" items blazingly fast and way under the Amazon estimates, but if they're using shipping rates to prioritize when units go out, why not cut in line the legitimate way...

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

WHY WAS MY ORDER DELAYED?
While we do our best to adhere to our delivery estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers. Occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply, delays during shipping, or changes in release dates for new products will add time to our original delivery estimate.
Question is, is that timeframe when I can expect it at my doorstep or is it when they will ship it out their door.

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Also, the prices for the N900 from 3rd party sellers are ridiculous. A friend referred us to an interesting trick that alerted us within seconds of when some Nokia accessories we were looking for came back in stock, at the REGULAR Amazon price. It actually monitors Amazon stock, and much faster than email. It's free and people are using it for I guess anything else that's out of stock. Right now we're using it to watch for a laptop. It's at www.azproductsnatcher.com

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Just had my 11/24 order for delivery pushed from the 7th to the 9th (1 day Prime). The fact that they've made such a minor amendment makes me think Amazon may finally be on top of the process and actually know how to fulfill their preorders. As always I'll just be glad if I get the phone before my summer vacation (that's January for you north hemispherians).

Re: N900 from Amazon: deals, availability, shipping status
 
Wow, It works!

I didn't even realize it at first. As soon as I started the free trial for Amazon Prime, my status switched to 'shipping soon' (originally shipping dec11, arriving free 5-8day shipping on dec18-28).

I had to actually call Amazon to change it (because it was processing and locked me out) to get 1day 3.99 shipping. After the update she said I should be getting it Tuesday.

Woohoo! (Sorry if I just cut in-front of anyone but free-trial+$4 is definitely worth getting the n900 20 days early! :) )

I think I'll pick up Left 4 Dead 2 while I'm on Amazon Prime.
