I preordered the 4790K from Amazon and it hasn't shipped yet (it is release date) and now showing as sold out - was preorders oversold?

Looks like we are all recieveing conflicting information from the Amazon reps... I was told that it should be shipping tonight, with a delivery date of tomorrow... I guess we will see. If I had known that there was going to be extra processing time I would have just gone with Newegg!

Amazon did over sell the pre-orders. They also marketed is such a way as to steal customers from other companies. This is illegal under the Federal Trade Commission act. http://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/statutes/federal-trade-commission-act. Please feel free to file a complaint. I have screen shots as I'm sure many of you do. I pre-ordered on the 14th due to the way Amazon marketed this product. This was strategic and calculated by someone in upper management.

I pre-ordered the 4690K (i5) from Amazon too, and it hasn't shipped yet either. I placed the order several weeks in advance. The CS Rep I spoke to said that they hadn't received their stock yet, which I find... hard to believe.

This worries me as well I had dialogue with an amazon employee that said even though the website didnt reflect any changes that I would receive my item at the date given to me...which is the 27th.....

I checked with Support as well and was assured that it would in fact ship out today on time, despite the current status being shown. If it helps, I placed my order on the 12th with overnight shipping.

Good question. I switched from my Newegg preorder on the 17th due to Amazon's previous early release date. Considering I haven't even been charged yet this is really starting to worry me here...Still says estimated date of tomorrow though.

Here's exactly what support told me:"02:09 PM PDT Amazon(Amazon): I have check Your order has entered the shipping process and is currently being packed for delivery. not to worry about the ones your seeing sold out We have yours and it has already shipped.02:10 PM PDT Amazon(Amazon): Your package should be leaving our fulfillment center shortly; as soon as it has, we'll send you a confirmation e-mail."This was yesterday. Still no confirmation email and still no status update on the site.

Intel reps on the community forums indicate they are aiming for more to come in stock around the end of this month. They did not anticipate the overwhelming demand of this model. Additionally, this specific "model" number is likely being refreshed as DN2830xxxx (they are upgrading the SoC to N2830, which has a few interesting chipset features the 2820 does not have). So, in summary, it is possible this model (2820) is being replaced by a hardware refresh and will not come back in stock. Either way, expect more of this class of NUC (The DN28yyxxxx series) to come in stock hopefully around late April. Takes time to have them built, shipped, and stocked; my guess is their primary supplier(s) are in China, hence the large to-market lag time.

My experience in the past is Amazon aims for you to get the device the day its available to the public. My preorders in the past have arrived on the listed "available on" date. I'd try contacting Amazon directly though- it seems to mildly vary from product-to-product as to when preorders are actually received by the buyer.

Got mine yesterday from their early bird sale on Monday and it seems to be exactly the same. I would have been surprised if ASUS made a special run of them just for BB.

It's available at Newegg (and has been for some time) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152590 I'm not sure why Amazon is taking so long to get it in stock. Since there is no indication of when this will be available I'll be spending a little extra money and getting it before Newegg runs out of stock (they have limit of 1 per customer currently).

Yeah I know, it's terrible how long it's taking honestly. It's now the 18th, and it still says not yet shipped, since tomorrow is Friday, and they don't do weekend shipping, it'll be 22nd on Monday and it STILL won't be in I'm pretty sure, unless they ship it later tonight and it comes in tomorrow...With the RAM difference and with how long I've been waiting already I'm gonna have to stick with Amazon myself.

Well, since no one bothered to give us any feedback, I just might cancel the pre-order. For those looking for it, Gen Tech computer has these in stock. http://www.gentechpc.com/

I pre-ordered on 9/17 and have nothing positive to report from Amazon. The only thing I've heard from them was on 10/17, they sent me a message asking if I still wanted it. The pre-order wasn't even on the Amazon page for 15 minutes when I ordered it so I wouldn't assume it went to backorder. If it did go to backorder would at least like to know so I can explore other options if needed. I have sent their customer service a message and hope to hear back from them. The item is too high price to receive no information from them.

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

According to amd.com Amazon is a retailer that offers the bundle. I tried to ask customer service but got an answer that made little sense. I went with a competitor and received the bundle as promised. Plus, Newegg had it for $50 less.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

Lucky you, I have no update to my pre order, and the item is showing out of stock. I am seriously not impressed with Amazon's lack of communication.

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now. Hopefully they will start shipping soon. Edit: Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed. In stock at Buy.com, J&R, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.
