I had faith in B&H Photo delivering the good stuff in rapid time. However, after being on their pre-order list for almost a month AND having been charged the full price upon submitting only a "pre-order", I decided to look around some more.
Then, I saw guys able to buy them off Best Buy's website using a web tracker and get one the same week. Hence, I realized it was everyman for himself and worked on finding the shortest distance to a retail price Mavic. Within a week I succeeded through relying on my own search skills rather than waiting on B&H. B&H kindly refunded all my money promptly upon e-mail request to their sales dept making note of my original order number.
Still a fan of B&H because they have EVERYTHING and no 8% CA sales tax.
