Greetings,
What you are describing is not new. If you didn't order at the beginning of November, you are going to be waiting a bit. I've seen 2 strategies. Order though the mail and wait your turn, or preorder through a local retailer and maybe you'll get it sooner. This is part of the support your local economy mindset too. Tax on $2500 isn't bad. Our tax is almost 10% so I was looking at almost $450. I waited and used the savings to buy some accessories. The only way to get a camera on release day (these days) is to preorder on day1. The public was also told prior to release there were going to be some initial fulfillment delays. I'm sure there are some other strategies.
