Goddamnit - I'm still "Sent To Warehouse." As I said earlier - buy.com gave me a "tentative" shipping date of today, Jan. 10th in an email reply. What's odd is I got in on this deal relatively early.
This is just like the S30 I have coming from Staples with one large difference - at least THEY called me to say "you were supposed to get it today, but it might be another 3-5 days - but it IS coming."
THAT'S service, people.
EDIT: Just a reminder - Microcenter B&M has 4x6 Canon photo paper - 20 sheets per pack for only 2.99 apiece until the 13th. It's also online, but the shipping kills it.
