I placed a pre-order from B&H on 10 April. Like most, I have not been able to get any definite answer from their customer service regarding an estimated time of shipment. I believe it is because their number of pre-orders for the BMPCC are just too big.
EBay has had buyers paying over $1400 for the camera, so I decided to look elsewhere. I thought I could just try my luck ordering from a nearby vendor. In this case it was at Expandore Electronics Pte Ltd located just across the border in Singapore. ( Google to get the website address)
I made the online purchase on 9 September 2013.
Today (16 September 2013) I received a notification that my card has been charged, and moments later a tracking number from Fedex.
That is exactly a week. I just could not believe my luck!
If I am allowed to make an assumption, it would be that the number of pre-orders in Asia is much less compared to the US or Europe. I saw this clip today

This particular vendor also has a disclaimer to say that any products purchased from them will be delivered within 50 days.
Disclaimer : This is not an advertisement for the vendor. I am just too happy. First post!
