We're approaching the shipping date. Has any body heard if they are to be delivered when they said?

The last I heard from Charles was about a week and a half ago. He was headed over to their plant to supervize the shipment of the first round of Prime HDs. He did post something in the last week or so about the ED2 spotting scope receiving the Editor's Choice Award for Field and Stream if I am not mistaken. Haven't heard anything since.

All Prime pre order customers have or will soon get an email saying there is a delay. This has not gone real smooth and we have two options here. First is be mad or second, give ZR credit for sticking to its QC guns and refusing to accept substandard items from sub suppliers. In this case it is a supplier of a critical element who suddenly had to have a bigger order for its parts, and needed more time to come up to quality ZR needs from this critical part. There is a bunch of mostly ready to go Primes waiting for the part. The delay I think will be two or maybe three weeks.

mtman....I received an e-mail from Zen-Ray yesterday (May 24th) announcing the delay.
Basically it apologized for the delay, briefly described the parts issue and said the new ship date is July 5th, 2012.
Zen-Ray has just updated their website showing the new July 5th ship date.
Charles of Zen-Ray posted on another forum yesterday that they will be shipping a limited number of the new Primes something during the next two weeks to those who signed up very early in the process.
If you have not received an e-mail and ordered when first available, maybe that means you are one of the folks getting a shipment in the next couple of weeks. Your guess is as good as mine. If that is the case, please post a reiew for the rest of us!

Nope. Not lucky enough. I got the email the 24th also. I'll "patiently" wait for July 5th as well.

There is an outside chance I'll have a Prime 10x42 today. If not today, it should be tomorrow. If not by tomorrow I'll succumb to despair . I will post as I have a chance.

The postal service always messes with me . They did not get here today so I have to hope for tomorrow. I have had these ordered since 6 months before there was even a hint of news on forums about them, so I suppose waiting for them has become second nature for me by now.

This is being discussed on another forum.
The Prime's are expected to be received by Zen-Ray no later than July 5th, assuming no delays in Customs or Holiday delays. As is their procedure, Zen-Ray will then each unit before filling the order. Each order will be filled in the sequence received. If things go as planned, I am hoping to receive my order sometime next week.
