b&h status of z8 order for nps

[Many Feathers]

I'm wondering what the Status of a z8 order from B&H for NPS orders shows. I am not NPS and it shows "backordered".

Thanks in advance

i don’t know about b&h, but my experience is nps expedites don’t tend to get you any additional info until your item ships from nikon to the store at which time you’ll get an email from nikon saying your item has shipped and it may "take up to 10 business days" to reach your dealer.

If you order using NPS you place an order with Nikon or with any authorized Nikon dealer like any customer. You then notify Nikon through NPS and ask Nikon to expedite the shipment of your item to that dealer. I believe then the dealer will receive the item from Nikon and it will be identified as yours.

Mine shows "shipped".

Just kidding. Like John said above Nikon basically ships the item to the retailer with the NPS member's name on it. So the retailer doesn't know until the shipment arrives how many items they have and how many of them are already assigned to NPS orders.

B&H is going to say "backordered" until May 25, because that is release day.

I got mine yesterday. Oh wait, that was some underwear I ordered from Amazon. Sorry.

To Answer the OP’s question
I should get an email from NPS saying they have shipped the item to the retailer and my take up to 10 days

I'd like to be encouraging but right now we do not have an ETA from Nikon USA.

So, not even 5/25?

I'm sorry. I should have been more specific. We hope to begin shipping the Z8 on 05/25.

Thanks Henry. Always appreciate your input on these releases. Can you tell us if your allocation will be enough to cover non-NPS member orders made the day of the announcement or is there going to be a little wait for non-NPS?

I think the dealers get a heads up that NPS orders will be arriving soon and how the items belong to.

With B&H it is critical to get NPS priority and tracking that you place your orders by phone. Online orders do not get in the queue. I prefer to place NPS orders wtih smaller Nikon dealers as I have twice had equipment on a special NPS order sold to other customers by B&H.
