i've also seen some posts that some non nps folks that ordered directly from nikon have gotten shipping notices

I'm guessing April. April 1 would be a little too obvious - how about April 14?Well, I dont even want to guess when I'll get my order. Not anytime soon I suspect. Just got this message from my retailer
Hi Cor, You are 44 out of 58 orders at this time for the Toronto location.
Anytime in April would be great (& exceed my expectation). I don't get out very much before that month anyway.I'm guessing April. April 1 would be a little too obvious - how about April 14?
And "my camera brand is more awesome than your brand" too.... it's dominating the forum and getting very old.Let's avoid any more politics in this thread, thanks
I hope that doesn’t correlate into time for me ordering one in November LOL.non-NPS, I pick my Z9 up tomorrow (got on wait-for list March 26th)
my wait continues .... I got the extra battery I ordered much later today Now I have an FTZ adapter and no Z9, a Z 1.4TC and no Z9 or Z100-400 to use it on, only accessory missing is the extra battery charger I ordered.Non-NPS, pre-ordered on Oct 28. My local camera store notified me that my Z9 was in today and I immediately went and picked it up. The guy at the store told me that I was their first non-NPS delivery and it was the only Z9 in the shipment that arrived yesterday.
Wish I would have discovered Samy's earlier. I have gotten several accessories from them but my order for camera and 100-400 to them much later. My local Idaho dealer is 5 hours away at 80 mph with good roads and they have great in person service but no online ordering and tough to get to in the winter sometimes 1 or 2 day shipping and Samy's usually 2 days shipping to Boise my almost local dealer.Like Charlie and other members who are not NPS, thrilled to get the call yesterday and receive today from Samy’s Camera, our local Southern CA dealer. Was on an informal list early Oct, then finalized Oct 28. Also received my order for two extra batteries. Been following the threads here and on Nikonians about availability, as much as I love B&H, sure seems our favorite local dealers are the ticket. Best to each of you.
That sounds promising. I put a deposit on one at Samy’s in Pasadena on Oct. 24 then paid in full on Oct 28 when the price was announced. I’m hoping to snag it before I head to Ecuador in late February for two months.Like Charlie and other members who are not NPS, thrilled to get the call yesterday and receive today from Samy’s Camera, our local Southern CA dealer.

Hoping your place in the queue comes up very shortly, in plenty of time in advance of a no doubt fabulous trip. BTW, Santa Ana is my store, but that shouldn’t impact what I assume is a single wait list for all of Samy’s.That sounds promising.

I'd prefer Nikon to ship smaller lots more frequently, which should get cameras into customer's hands sooner. Waiting for a large inventory to ship would mean more people get a camera at a particular time, but at the expense of some of them waiting longer to get them.Just got word today that the next Oz shipment is small and i probably won't be getting mine in that one...
Still no date to WEX photographic here in UK, from Nikon. WEX not being drawn as to where I stand in their queue. I ordered 28/10 or 10/28!! Any word of any in Uk customers’ hands?
Same story here in Norway too. Hardly any shipments of Z9 has made it here yet and the camera store where I placed my preorder was afraid it would take several months to fullfill all preorders. Their main concern was that they wouldn’t be able to deliver to all their 120 preorders at all this year. Where I am on the list of preorders I don’t know, all I know is I preordered as soon as they opened up for preorders.…I'm first in line with a UK dealer for non-NPS and I haven't heard a thing yet. I got my FTZ II and 100-400 Z before Christmas. It seems like very few made it to the UK for the first shipment and I have seen almost nobody saying they've got one since. I was expecting things to be a bit slow because of the general global electronics issues but I can't say I'm thrilled with just how much Nikon has prioritised other regions. I don't really feel like "Doesn't it suck that so many went to USA?" will go down terribly well on any forums given that so many forum users are probably delighted with that result!
understand your though... when i say small, it's 12 units only! they probably only been 200 absolute max... probably 100, and Australian orders would be filled.I'd prefer Nikon to ship smaller lots more frequently, which should get cameras into customer's hands sooner.

If Nikon were shipping by air freight, instead of surface, it makes sense that they would ship this way.
