I dont have a delivery estimate or a dispatch date but my order has now been updated to dispatching soon and my card has been charged so hopefully it will be here in a few days time.

Maybe it fell off of the 122 miles of Louisville conveyor belts. Three times. Or it could have been in a bin that they realized was loaded on the wrong plane.

I suppose it is to UPS's credit that they let you see their missteps.

The first three didn't really bother me, I figured it was different holding stations within their facilities. However, the last one was almost 24 hours later and those of us who ordered it from the old side of the pond paid some $20 for International Priority Shipping. Sitting 24 hours in Louisville KY (probably a lovely place to visit) is hardly International and even less Priority, it might pass for Shipping in La-la land however.

03:08, 05:30, 02:43, and 02:37 on August 28 & 29. What's so confusing? Maybe the plane keeps crashing!

This is what Amazon states on the Kindle 3 product page today:

Orders placed today are expected to ship on or before September 17th.

MsAstoria · 08-29-2010, 10:38 AM

Yeah! Finally K3 with Wi-Fi changed to Shipping soon! Ordered Aug 1st and was dissapointed it didn't ship on 27th. Probably will go out tomorrow. K3 cover status is shipping so hope they arrive about same time.

I was positively surprised when UPS pre-empted my call this morning and we clarified a delivery where I work. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

UPS customer care said that the delivery location was skipped du to an incomplete address, but added that it was corrected right after so it is ok now. (And sure enough, the address was exactly the same as I said this morning). I'll travel to their location this evening and pick it up instead, they offered to make a third attempt tomorrow but I declined ... figuring that when someone fails twice, the third time is seldom the charm :-)

Just got here, literally. Put on the UPS truck at 5:15 and got here at 9:30!

I'll be Kindling for awhile.

chris2x · 08-30-2010, 09:48 AM

my order's status has also (finally) changed to "shipping soon". i ordered on august 18th. :-)

daveo · 08-30-2010, 10:12 AM

Hmm I ordered on August 7th and still get "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time."

Viseguy · 08-30-2010, 10:26 AM

Just checked my tracking information and found this:

Delivered - Aug 30, 2010 10:00:00 AM

Woo-hoo! Can't wait to get home tonight!

Bratzzo · 08-30-2010, 11:44 AM

Hi,

I am also waiting for my K3.

But it seems, it is lost in Louisville:

August 29, 2010 01:18:00 PM Louisville KY US Departure Scan
August 29, 2010 12:42:00 PM Louisville KY US Departure Scan
August 29, 2010 12:41:00 PM Louisville KY US Departure Scan
August 29, 2010 08:23:00 AM Louisville KY US Arrival Scan

Nearly 24 hours no changing in status.

The shipping starts on 27th in Fernley NV.

The estimate arrival date first was on 30th. Than it changed to 31th, forward to 1st and back to 31th. But I am afraid that it is not possible, that they deliver tomorrow. Because it must come to germany.

When you logon tomorrow morning you will find that it has left Köln for delivery to recipient.
