i got the same thing.....first thought is to call and complain and try to get ~ 10% more off price.

i will then likely wait until May 14th to see if any updates in shipping or other deals that can ship quicker and make choice then....

Delivery estimate moved to June 15th, was supposed to be delivered by tomorrow, didn't realise they are this backed up.

But the last time they gave a delay notice for G5, I got it in few weeks (last month)

Can you be more specific? So for the G5 the gave you a delay notice of (delivery date + 2 months), you consented and it ended up delivering within 2-4 weeks instead of 8?

Just went back to my emails and checked. Shipped within a week actually.

Ordered on Feb 20, got a revised date to May 06 on March 19, then shipped on March 24. Delivered on March 26 (instead of initial estimate of March 24).

I'm guessing they do give the worst case possible in case of delays.

Ordered on 3/19, so pretty early on the deal, and got the same delay e-mail.

Going to hodl on this one in hopes of them moving the date back up.

Was "In Production" too (and still is).

Assembly line worker: "Wait, what? We ran out of 3080s?!"

My order from 3/19 is also now delayed until 6/15 to spite being "in production". I wonder if they'd blame it on backordered ram again.

I'm the original poster and ordered with expedited shipping. Mine was supposed to come April 14

I just got a revised shipping date of June 15. If people didn't order before me, not sure how they are shipping out of order for others who ordered later. I suspect there are a lot of delay e-mails inbound.

I ordered Purchased On: Mar. 18, 2021

Bummer. This might be a bust.

Look at the featured comments of this thread. Others called it early on saying they wouldn't ship....

Mine went into production today.... I was hopeful until I read yours and others comments just now....

Better cancel your order and get the CC charge hold released..I know this happens with Dell so I cancelled a week back.
