I hope your everyone's order gets fulfilled. There's nothing worse than getting lucky and copping just to get cancelled a few days later. That's actually worse than missing out on launch day. Good luck to all who have not received tracking info.
Nike's distribution center is highly efficient. Nike knows where each product is located to easily allocate units for fulfillment. The rep was wrong Nike warehouse workers don't need to "search" for shoes to fulfill orders.
Nike is taking longer than usual because it is busy also fulfilling the million of orders for the 11s.

All valid points. One cannot deny though that FC sets their price and it trickles down to individual resellers. Whatever the price FC set a reseller uses as a benchmark whether it charges $50-$100 below FC prices. And that lower range will move in conjunction with FC price increase or decreases.
The problem with FC prices is that it influences resellers and eBay auction prices. Many people often look at FC to determine if the price is good or not. Judging by how quick FC is moving pairs I do agree that the price is on the lower end.
