BestBuy Back Order Wait Times for the D7000

[Ballistics]

So as I have mentioned in the past, I ordered a D7000 from bestbuy which for some odd reason is on backorder. They claim that the wait is between 1 and 2 weeks. Tuesday will be the second week I will be waiting. Anyone ever had anything on best buy backorder before? How long did you wait until you got your item?

They said the same thing for my D7000, but I got it after 1 week of placing the order.

They should be able to give you an exact date if u order it in store. I'm not sure how online works. I ordered mine in store from the district warehouse ( I work for best buy) and it took 5 days

A lot of the Canon stuff is on backorder because of the Tsunami. You can also try to go to the store and make them check and see if another nearby Bestbuy that can send it to them for you. They offered to that for me for my T3i.

I ordered in the store, and they told me that it should be shipped by the 5th, today I spoke with a rep and he said between the 7th and the 21st (?!?!) Hopefully it comes soon. I don't want to go through the entire summer with out a camera.

According to the reps, they don't carry the D7000 in stores at all. I don't know if he meant in general or the body specifically.

It's in stock everywhere pretty much, but I bought it through best buy for various reason ie. 18 months interest free and 12% discount.

7th is here, hopefully it's closer to today than the 21st.

It's out of stock at Samy's as well as Adorma. It's on back order from the manufacturer; nothing Best Buy or any other sellers can do about that one.

Oh man really?! I had no idea. When I initially made the purchase, it seemed as if it was in stock everywhere.

FYI, D7000 has built-in commander mode. I tested it the other day and it works pretty well. I even ordered a 35-70mm f2.8 lens for it too!

sorry to hear that you have to wait such a long time. I hate waiting too.

I wonder why it is so far behind.

I can't even buy a Canon 7D because I just bought a nikon lens.

I guess if worse comes to worse, Ill pick up a D3000 for a few days until the D7000 comes in.

Best Buy has a 14 day return on cameras.. I've "rented" stuff before to test out or just to play with until the novelty wears off.
