![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know that for a fact, but it’s what I have heard, and it may or may not be true-I hope it isn’t true. Those trying to be patient with their Amazon preorders might have to be extremely patient-I’ve heard that it might be sometime in January before orders are shipped. When they get their cameras, they’ll sell every single copy, and it will have such a small impact on the bottom line that you need a powerful magnifying glass just to see it. I’m sure Amazon gave two seconds to this situation, and hasn’t cared one iota since. Fujifilm’s customers are who got punished, not Amazon. You, if you, too, ordered through Amazon. I get that it wasn’t fair to their other retail customers. I get that Fujifilm has to hold them accountable. If Fujifilm stopped selling to Amazon altogether, it wouldn’t hurt Amazon in any way, shape, or form. I know this is a first-world problem, and in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter, but it is something that many people have experienced.Īmazon is a huge company, and Fujifilm sales are a tiny drop in a massive bucket. But you and I didn’t get our gear when others did. Is it Fujifilm’s fault? Sure-they could have done something else to teach Amazon a lesson, while still allowing people to receive the cameras they ordered. What I didn’t know is that Fujifilm decided to punish Amazon for their sins and not give them any cameras to sell sadly, only Fujifilm photographers who ordered through Amazon were actually punished. Those who ordered on Amazon were left in the dark. For others it shipped that day, and arrived in the next day or two. When the 17th came around, some people received their preorders that day. I preordered an X-T5 on Amazon because I had reward points that I wanted to use. By contract, everyone is supposed to go live no earlier than a certain time, but Amazon jumped the gun. Amazon apparently listed the X-T5 too early on announcement day. Wow! It’s been crazy the last several days.
