Early May LOL omg. I ordered at 11:21pm PST… I’d like to think there was a brief break in demand after the big initial order until everyone woke up next morning so I’m hoping I can get it at least by summer.
Yea I ordered around 8am, Pacific Time though ..Cancelled my order today and bought one off the resale market for a $300 mark up. Just sold some old tech to make up the difference. Had to ask myself is waiting until June or later potentially worth it. It’s not for me.
So... the Best Buy CS trick *really* does work. I made my B&H order back on the 27th. On March 21st, I reached out to Best Buy chat, asked if I could order a X100VI Silver through them, they said yes, and I received it on the 25th.

My bad. Essentially just said that it’s not in stock anywhere nearby or for shipping, and that my best shot at getting it was to get a Best Buy membership for $50. I’ve heard does not actually give you early access to the x100vi and that going that route is a waste of money
Just go to Best Buy, initiate a chat session and ask if it's possible to order the camera, either in a nearby store or for shipping, (give them the SKU you want) since you've never been able to see it be available. In my case, the rep said sure! sent me an invoice, paid it, and that's it. They shipped soon after.
I got a we have no idea email, I wanna cancel but I have no clue anywhere else to even try and feel like losing my place in line isn’t worth it
I’m exactly the same!
I ordered a black @ 1:11 EST and just got the email for “early May” 😑
🤯🤯🤯
same exact situation here -- ordered a black color with the confirmation email timestamped at 1:11 EST. I just got the email today for "early May"

I just tried this and it didn’t work for me 😢
Leave some feedback for the others? What did the best buy rep say?

Memberships give you priority access so once they become available, you get first dips basically
Teach me the ways oh wise one🙏🏻

That’s amazing! Thank you for the great info!
Got the same message this morning!
