... Looks like this latest **** session is my own fault :oops:

You might consider editing your first post and putting this at the top in red letters. After reading through the first several posts, I was getting kind of steamed up about Adorama's lack of service.


Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

I appreciate the reply Helen. I e-mailed you directly 2 weeks ago regarding problems with a lens shipment but I did not get a reply.
This order I paid for UPS 3 day delivery (even though regular UPS ground takes 1 day). Paying for Next Day delivery is expensive and usually unnecessary.
Fingers crossed it will get out today and I will be able to put it to work this weekend. I guess I just get a little impatient at times waiting for a new toy.

Justaddwata,

You've gotta be careful with the '3 day' delivery option; the retailer ships as soon as the order is ready, but the shipppers (UPS, FedEx, USPS) view it as an order that doesn't have to be there until the three days. ie: I ordered from a nearby vendor and chose the three day option even though I am within the one day ground zone. I tracked the order and it was @ my local delivery office overnight, but not scheduled for delivery until the third day. I left work and drove to the office and they insisted my package was in a storage bin for Tuesday (This was Friday) and they couldn't get to it. I assured them I would sort through the entire place to find it and they caved and went and brought it to me. Lesson learned; more expensive does not equal faster. ;)

I have encountered similar Paul. Only thing is that it is the only option where UPS is listed. My last order shipped Super Saver which is another word for Donkey.

As of 5 minutes ago my order status shows "Packed". I get the feeling that it wont be moving anywhere for another day :cry:
