When I tried to get info or update on my order with the Pentax USA store, I was told they don't communicate much with Japan and that they would know orders were shipped when users started receiving product. All the pre-orders were handled through a 3rd party site (who also knows nothing). Its been really frustrating leaving the nearly $2k pending with literally zero feedback.
I did notice that today Amazon has posted the K-1 available in the Prime store, so I'm thinking that I may cancel my order with the company directly and move my funds over to Amazon to get free shipping and have the camera in my hands by Wednesday. Not sure if there is any incentive from Pentax USA to keep us all from doing exactly that, but it seems crazy that at this point the general public will almost certainly receive their K-1's through either online or walk-in retailers before any of us pre-order buyers.
