I'm still "shipping soon". I called C.S. and got a scripted answer: "Blah, blah... high demand... blah... shipping as soon as we get them in stock."
I was adamant that when I ordered the web site still said "Release Day Delivery". He said, "I don't know anything about that." After repeating my release day mantra half a dozen times, he offered to send a message to the warehouse to see if they have any more information. Since they're busy shipping out craploads of Kindles, I'm not hopeful they'll get around to answering it any time soon, or that they'll have any useful info. I'm not used to Amazon not living up to promises, and I'm really not used to Customer Service not being more helpful.
I guess they're crazy busy and it's wearing on them.
