Thanks for checking with CRK.

I ordered a silver body (not premium kit) on 1 April (i think it is the first batch), according to above you mentioned, will it be shipped in the first shipment ?

Thanks

I also ordered on 1 April. I expect those orders to be in the first batch, but have no concrete information.

I ordered my Silver Premium April 7th about 5 a.m., from B&H.
Received it Wed. 28th at 3:45. Right before I had to go to work.
Manufacture Date 3:15:2021

The hand grip feels great, but my pinky is looking forward to the silver battery grip. LOL
Going through the camera slowly and have not put it on yet.

I know it’s all good, things get lost in translation sometimes hence the smiley face on my reply…
