Okay, I just rang Kindle CS in the UK for an update. I was told all orders received by 1st Aug still hope to ship by tomorrow end of day, or possibly Sat, they are a bit behind and working as fast as they can.
My 3G order WILL still ship by 4th Sept, the 17th Sept rumour is not correct (read this on another thread, something about no 3G models in UK till then)and the CS agent next to him was dealing with a customer whose 3G model was being packed, so they do have some and cannot see any reason why they won't ship as stated......
As for paying for expedited......yes they are upgrading all orders to free expedited as they are behind. If you paid for it they should refund at time of despatch, if they don't just call and they will refund those charges
Not sure what is true and what is CS trying to keep me happy, I was calm, chatty and had a laugh with him, so I see no reason why he would lie, I wasn't putting him under any pressure and even said I understood there may be delays........who knows what is the truth, we seem to be told different things.
Anyway, I am okay waiting a bit longer, as long as I get mine and get my expedited fee refunded for both.
Just trying to let you all know what I have been told
