GH1 Shipping Today! According to Panasonic Sales Rep

Mike, what 800 number are you calling. I've never gotten a woman, always a man and then sometimes I get shuttled over to Shopatron.

This is really getting nuts.

The number on the bottom of my order that pops up after you click "track order" on the Panny website: 800-405-0652. Just called not more than 30 minutes ago.

woah! two people being told the SAME thing by panasonic?! did hell freeze over? maybe this june 22nd date is for real!
 
Yeah I really don't think these people know what they're talking about. I spoke to Sarah and she that there wouldn't be a shipment till August....wtf...haha. I'm over it. I decided to pay the extra and am getting it from Canada. It may take a week or so, but the peace of mind is what I didn't mind paying for. Waiting for this camera has been nuts and I couldn't imagine waiting another month or so. Impulse maybe? Yeah maybe, but to each his own I guess.

i thought about doing it... but i need my camera for the 26th... and i dont think i could get it here in time for that from canada. at least panasonic is SAYING itll ship the 22nd with next day shipping. if that actually happens....ill be gold.

if it doesn't ship by the 25th i'm going to go down to best buy and reluctantly buy a Canon T1i and cancel my GH1 order. then i'll order a GH1 at a later date when they are easily available and sell my T1i :/

Well if you assume that 1 hr "in stock" message last night was just a glitch, it would make sense. The lady at the 800 number told me that my estimated date to receive it was the 24th and since I ordered next day air, it sounds to me like Panny expects a shipment next week on the 22nd and they plan to get existing orders shipped on the 22nd or 23rd. Maybe we're getting closer to the truth?

Is anyone gettin anything from shopatron that ordered with panny with SHTR order #?

People being told 22nd ship are callin panny direct or shopatron?

Forgive me, what does INT # mean? Are these supposed to be the letters preceding the digits in your order number?

Yes. I have two orders, one with each. I think all cams coming only from panny direct int# not shopatron shtr# eventhough u have a shopatron earlier order. Goofy.

Affirmative. When I ordered yesterday when it showed in stock for an hour, I got an order number INT000xxxxxxx where the xxxxxxx was a 7 digit (presumably sequential) number. My status is currently stuck on "in stock". It's been nearly 24 hours with no update. My guess based on the sparse info we have is still that they expect a batch on the 22nd and they will be shipping on that date or the next day.

I called panasonic today and they gave me the same date of the 22nd so it looks like I will get mine on tuesday hopefully. It seems like its been forever.. hope you guys get your orders soon
 
Which number did you call at Panasonic? (more)

I called the number at the bottom of the order status page. They told me they have no idea at all when my order would be shipped. I ordered with Panasonic direct on June 10th, but also pre-ordered with Amazon on May 8th. I'm wondering if Panasonic direct orders will be filled first.

Well, let's all hope we get our orders filled next week. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed... :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

UPDATE: I just got a UPS tracking number! Looks like it has shipped and the scheduled delivery is tomorrow. Could it be? I'll know by tomorrow morning I guess if the UPS tracking says "out for delivery". Going to bed with fingers and toes crossed...

same here. just got shipping confirmation from Panny Direct & UPS.
I paid for 2nd day air, so I should have it by Saturday if Im lucky.

Panasonic really dropped the ball here. I specifically paid for 2nd day
shipping b/c I was PROMISED by a manager and the wharehouse last
week that my order would be going out by the 16th. I needed it by
tomorrow for a shoot, but looks like thats not happening now.
 
I'm glad you're getting your camera. But wow, just... wow. That's a seriously messed up system their got there. Thank you IBM :badputer:

My 5/15 order is still sitting there sticking its tongue at me, "ships late May" :badputer:. My order from last night, extra battery was shipped. The camera part is sticking its tongue at me :badputer:

Can't wait to play with that battery :badputer:

Done venting. Congrats on your timely placement of your order.
