Shipping Dates for the Blaze

[steener06]

Will the Blaze ship directly from the Fitbit website store the day it is released in stores or Amazon? or will they ship days before so it hopefuly or will arrive the day its relased everywhere else? What im getting at is on Amazon, you can pay 3.99$ (with prime memebership) and get free over night shipping there for getting the product WAY before "standard shipping" from the Fitbit website. That is unless Fitbit will ship it ahead of time.

So I pre-ordered with Best Buy and got the following email from them 2 days ago:

We were just informed that the release date for the item listed below has been updated to Tuesday, March 01, 2016.

You don't need to take any action at this time. We'll keep you posted if anything else changes, and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready.

We look forward to seeing you, and thank you for shopping at Best Buy

So can I assume this was just a place holder, becasue surely you are not shipping March 1, right?

We're looking at a few ship dates for now @racertempo, but nothing specific. I'll post more information when it comes to me, but we're shooting to get product in your hands as soon as possible.

Will the accessories be available on the day of realease too as I'd like to change the band 

[EmersonFitbit]

@Mikeyb50 Leather and stainless steel ccessories should come out at the same time as classic bands launch. Still on the lookout for more solid dates for future accessories.

Right rumours aside, does anybody have a elite incline on a release date. I've pre ordered the blaze the first day it was on the website. Some people are saying 1st, 15th even the 28th. I've just got the aria and **ahem** setting that badboy up to not say guest on 3 others was a drama in it self but all sorted now 😊. Soooooo having the £160.00 sat in my account is bugging me now, will I be charged end of Feb or end of March?

@Jamesnibzy I've merged your post with the main thread on this subject. Please see above for the shioping date. As for when you are charged this would be when your Blaze is shipped.

The Fitbit Store displays the Fitbit Blaze is dispatched in early March, the payment can be expected somewhere in March, when the Blaze will be delivered.

Was wondering do we have a more definite date as to when the deliveries for the Blaze is starting ?

[Rich_Laue]

You can pre-order a Blaze right now.
As for the shipping date, Fitbit says March

Thanks

I , actually my brother located in the States preordered the Blaze for me a while ago wanted to know the date they start shipping .

My brother located in SFO travels to me on March 15 so hence wanted to know the exact date / s.

There is not an exact date right now Sorry

[SunsetRunner]

The Fitbit Store displays early March.

Hello there.  I know this must have been asked time and time again, just not sure if there has ever been a firm answer.  I preordered the Blaze the first day that it was announced.  I am currently  a Charge user, so am anxiously looking forward to my upgrade.  I see on other websites that Best Buy says you can have by March 1st, so will the customers that actually ordered directly through Fitbit receive their's before that? 

Thanks for any input.

[WendyB]

There is not a Specfic date yet. Just March.

[Rich_Laue]

@hgharding I've moved your post to the main thread on the subject, this way you will receive any updates.

[Jamesnibzy]

Right first thing is I'm not a Wall Street financial ninja with 20 years stock exchange experience. I'm just a regular jo who has pre ordered the blaze. What the hell is going on, will it crash that much as some websites say that they will go bust. As I said not a ninja.

What I want to know is a confirmed date on when it will be posted some say 15th and some say 1st, dont get me wrong but with the stock like this and them holding back on a confirmed date it is making me want to cancel it, never had a Fitbit so thought why not, got the app, bought the scales just need the tracker.

Hi, @Jamesnibzy , there is not a definite shipping date, but I think Fitbit is confident it will be early March. Your card will not be charged until your order is shipped, so you don't need to worry.

[EmersonFitbit]

@Jamesnibzy I know that this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I can confirm that March is the only shipping date that we've communicated to this point. That means that we're looking at anywhere between 3/1-3/31, but I'm confident that it'll be an early ship! I'm also confident that you'll love the Blaze, especially as your introductory tracker into the ecosystem!

[Rich_Laue]

Looking back at the release of the Charge, Charge HR, and Surge, the release date for them was announced at the time of the release. Ie: Fitbit has announced the release of ....

I know you want a more definate answer, but this is still better then Microsoft releasing windows 95 in 96

I am not sure why but my order through fitbit says order processing. Is there any chance of an early release in February? I am okay waiting until March but it just seemend odd. But it has been saying that since February 5.
