B&H Photo preorder?

[jj69]

Wondering if anyone here has pre-ordered, or is planning on ordering through B&H. I think I'm going to do it, as i'm outside of NY and the tax savings are pretty substantial. Are there any downsides to getting through not-apple? Should I expect to wait a significantly longer amount of time than if I were to order one from the apple store?

thanks!

I've had good experience in fulfillment and customer service with them on all AAPL products I've bought.

They don't seem to get the retail/channel allocations that Best Buy gets (and haven't so far for the rMB), so you probably aren't going to get it much faster than ordering from AAPL, but you'll likely avoid tax and maybe save a fraction of a % off the retail cost (they do a bit of discounting sometimes) and you probably wouldn't get it much later.
