Re: Hero 7 Shipping Date
[ New ]If GoPro cared about their customers they might do something like:
1) Send an email to the customers who placed pre-orders updating them on what is going on with their order and when it will be corrected, espeically given that the pre-order purchase stated a shipping date.
2) Offer a solution such as shipping the camera without the SD card to avoid impacting customer's plans (such as vacations).
3) Generally, not ignore the problem.
Two more points:
This whole idea that SanDisk is "back-ordered" seems implausible. These promotions, and contracts with suppliers, are negotiated and finalized month's ahead of time.
And, finaally, for a company that is trying to become relevant (let alone fiscally sound) again, angering its most enthusiastic supporters - those that pay attention to announcements and then pre-order, just seems dumb.

I spoke with GoPro and unfortunately they are being delayed by SanDisk being in back order. Awaiting my shipment of the HERO7 Black as well. Definitely a bummer. For me it's not an urgent thing, but I know for some they want the camera for vacations and important events. From my experience, GoPro does care about the customer getting the most, "stoke" from the camera, so I'm sure they are doing everything possible to expedite this as they can.
Same here but I did not get the talk you got and I got a 64gb card coming without knowing. Maybe b/c like you said the card, the camera who knows what each rep was told, glad to hear the sdxc cards were b/o also knoew th camera was b/o, hope to see who gets what. gonna hear some sasy I got this and that....
Each rep only goes on what they know, and the Rep I talked to was very kind to offer me the info... Ifeel that my order was handledcorrectly and this is what I get why did I get ( see below) something I did not want.. Lol ha ha ha

Re: Hero 7 Shipping Date
[ New ]@scotts54661totally agree with your post
Funny thing is, I ordered the Hero 7, a spare battery, and then the 32gb SanDisk card is added automatically.
I received my spare battery and the 32gb SanDisk card earlier this week. But not the GoPro.
Followed up with them today about the GoPro, and they are telling me that my Hero7 order is delayed since they ran out of SD cards. I then told them that I already received my SD Card early this week... so just ship the camera.
Then they finally tell me that the Hero 7 is now out of stock.
Looks like they are trying to put the blame on the SanDisk SD cards, but in reality, they simply ran out of Hero 7 inventory.

Re: Hero 7 Shipping Date
[ New ]I called to cancel my order--didn't ask why there was a delay. The rep, who was very nice, put me on hold and when she came back she offered me the opportunity to have the camera shipped out immediate without the SD card. As others have said in this topic, the SD cards are what are holding up shipping out the 7's. So we changed it from just the camera with the SD card shipping at a later date. My 7 should be shipping today or tomorrow now.

Re: Hero 7 Shipping Date
[ New ]Just when I was getting a good rant going.
My GoPro Hero 7 AND an SD card JUST SHOWED UP UNEXPECTEDLY.
It apparently was sent from a distribution center in KY. My guess is that GoPro subcontracts out fulfillment (and customer service) and the two simply don't communicate well
Never received a notice it was shipped and order status has not changed from "processing".
Hopefully the camera does not disappoint.
Best of luck to you all.
