So I placed an order for "Lisa II" (or III, or IV, depends how one is counting:rolleyes: ) way before they opened this morning. Paid $100 to have it shipped UPS Express in hope to get it on Tuesday.

Well, it has not been shipped today ! Perhaps because they were too damn busy shipping backordered cheap P.O.S. (Peace of Softness) 50 f/1.2 all day.:mad:

So, now it will be Wednesday.:(

Well on Fridays they wrap it up around 1:00 p.m. They usually manage to get all express orders out on the road before then.

Oh brother, that's hard to believe. I'd sooner forget about Jennifer, get your money back and find yourself another consort.

You don't need this lens by Tuesday. Just focus on your various macro endeavors and you'll be entertained until Christmas!

Oh whoa wait...so you sent back the sharper non-IS version for a new, much more expensive she-man IS lens?

Theoretically, "Lisa I" should have been sharp(er), but she was not. She was also front focusing. I think she required work which I was not prepared to undertake at my additional expense.

Unfortunately, that sorta situation has left me without any options other than getting a lens which is fully supported/warrantied by Canon. The IS on it is a waste, I know, because much of the time it will be turned off unless I am using the lens with the TCs. :cool:

Oh its not that so much, it's the shipping fee that irks me.......one pays for that express thing in order to have it leave the seller pronto, not 3 days later.

If I pay for ground from B&H, I get 2nd day. If I pay for 2nd day, I get overnight. If I pay for overnight, it's here around 8:30AM the next day.

i never pay for expedited shipping, things just don't seem to ship fast enough from the easy coast for it to matter out west.

Whoa dude you watch your mouth thats my girl you're talking about! She'll be here, she just better be treated well by the "geniuses" at Canada Customs. Because they must think I am a terrorist, they are opening every single parcel I get from the USA. If Paypal and a Credit Card allowed it, I would have my parchels sent to my Sisters house, brothers house, etc just to throw them off. Sigh but I cant. The lesson for me is DONT BE CHEAP! Pay the extra 11 bucks for Global Express or go through UPS.
