Just an FYI, I ordered from the Canadian site but my confirmation and back order emails came from the US. I was a bit concerned by this but my order and invoice on findmyorder.com shows as Canadian.

WHY ARE PEOPLE THAT ORDERED AFTER ME GETTING THEIR ORDERS SHIPPED (AND EVEN RECEIVED) BEFORE ME??? THIS IS APPAULING - I already lodged a complaint with the better business bureau - doubtful it'll solve my problem, but hopefully if enough of us complain, we can GET THESE CROOKS SHUT DOWN/FINED/PUNISHED.
Actually I was ordering from the US site and wanted shipped to the US. I was going to be in a state with no sales tax so I thought I would save myself some $$. The total US total was 460. Once I hit the complete order button it switched the shipping address to Canada and charged me extra shipping and total went to 530 US. Wouldn't let me cancel, couldn't place another order. In hindsight trying to save some bucks screwed me over. Should have just ordered from the Canadian site and I might have had my Passport already.
you are wrong. I ordered before you (10/3 @ 2:21pm PST) and all I got is a headache and a fraudulent CC charge.
Still shows "Boxed Shipment"...charge has vanished from my credit card statement. Interesting to see how this all plays out.

I called to ask about a tracking number and they ASSURED me that I'd get a tracking number AS SOON AS IT SHIPPED, which I think is a lie and I expect I will get a shipping confirmation email with tracking number the same day or just one day before it is delivered, which makes it impossible to plan : I am returning my Amazon order because it was no less than $200 more expensive but I'm not returning the Amazon order until I get a shipping confirmation for this order, so the lack of logistical certainty is inconvenient.
So I just saw the reply on the BlackBerry support forums..i will just show the picture here for your viewing:

So it looks like we will all get an email later on today from BlackBerry and orders should be fulfilled by the end of this month.

Hopefully. This whole situation is a pain.

People are reporting that they have started to receive emails
Yes, BS emails.

I've had two emails both telling different stories.

What did the other email say?
Posted via CB on my BlackBerry Z30
Despite Digital River still not being able to confirm whether my order still exists or not, they sent me this email a couple of hours ago:
"Thank you for contacting the BlackBerry online store.
We show that your order is complete, and it will be shipping soon. You
will receive a separate shipping notification email when your order
ships."
Still very vague but seems to hint that shipping is imminent.
About 30 minutes ago I got the BlackBerry email suggesting 29th October. I'll believe it when I see it, I'm fed up with fighting even for the most basic information.
If anyone else got the above email let us know how long it took between getting it and getting a shipping date. TIA
Just received this email from BlackBerry:
As a valued BlackBerry customer, we want to personally thank you for the order you have recently placed to receive a BlackBerry� Passport.
We are writing to inform you that we will begin shipping devices by October 29th. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay has caused you.
If you have any questions, please call us directly at 1-866-957-0761
Thank you for your continued support and for remaining a BlackBerry customer.
Sincerely,
BlackBerry
I haven't received the email pushing back the shipping date until the end of the month yet. Experience suggests that without more, it will just be more bytes in my inbox and not some genuine assurance that the device will be shipped by the end of October. I hate to use the phrase "best case" in this instance, as there is no longer such a thing under these circumstances. Chen himself makes the announcement that the Passports will be available immediately within the US, and I go ahead and pony up full off-contract price, plus an expedited (not so much) shipping charge, only to be sidetracked and back-ordered and essentially dry-gulched by either or both Digital River and Blackberry, who will have at least a 30 day float while they have my money and I'm left empty-handed.
On the Amazon side, all official indications were and remain that Blackberry itself will be "officially" selling Passports through Amazon, at the same price and terms as if bought through ShopBlackBerry. But there, too, it was a sham availability and now you are instead seamlessly segued toward Amazon's "other sellers" where you can apparently get the Passport, but at 3 or 4 or $500 dollars more than the Blackberry price. I am not finding fault with Amazon's additional sellers. Some of them are highly rated and they are entitled to charge what the market will sustain. But I do not like at all Blackberry's indifference and incompetence in this matter.
I have little faith, at this point, in ShopBlackBerry and none in Digital River. I hope it is the case that the conduct and competency of those entities do not also reflect the same of Blackberry itself, under John Chen. I like what Blackberry is doing and like the renewed energy and spirit under Mr. Chen. But even if this problem is one of stemming from a Blackberry affiliate or contracted vendor, it does not speak well of the parent's management that this shambles was allowed to occur and to continue without any clear and dependable communication.
Yeah, I'm actually most likely going to file a PayPal claim at this point. I'm not going to have them hold my money while they maybe fulfill my order by October 29th. It will likely not be delivered until sometime in November. That's a month away!
I just received the exact same email. Not a happy bunny right now. :mad:
Well said man.
You were whining because you didn't hear anything. Now you are whining about getting information in an email.
Go away!
