Your patience is appreciated. We have and will continue to update you to the best of our ability based on the available information we have received from the manufacturer. Keep in mind that when a product is on nationwide backorder it means that the product is not available anywhere until they arrive from the factory so most sites and physical retailers will obtain their stock at approximately the same time.
Public Service Announcement:
We've been swamped with calls and e-mails from shoppers wanting to verify that this model is in stock despite the fact that for the last few weeks, we've had this model listed with "Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks." right below the add-to-cart button. This status was recently updated based on the current backlog of orders and new information from the manufacturer. For ANY product on ANY web site, whenver you see an Availability of anything longer than 2 business days, it is safe to assume that the product is NOT IN STOCK at that time, otherwise, it would not take so long to process the order. The time period given is the best estimate based on the available information at the time.
