Does Adorama Also Close For A Week (Apr 8-16)?

Does anyone know if Adorama closes from April 8-16 like B&H does? I've looked on their site & haven't seen anything posted yet, but was just wondering.

I don't believe so, B&H closes due to their religious beliefs, I think they're a form of Orthodox Jew as I was reading yesterday and they don't run their business over holidays. Other than that, B&H is absolutely fantastic and you can't hold it against them for honoring their beliefs.

Adorama on the other hand does not close for holidays I believe.

I think Adorama is also run by people of the same religion as B&H as they close at 2pm on Fridays and are closed all day Saturday, and open back up on Sunday.

I think Adorama is closed for that week as well. I thought I saw something about it on their website when I was looking yesterday. Says when to place your order so you are not stuck waiting over the holiday.

Both are closed for the holidays.

You might want to clear up about the website ordering and when products will be shipped as well. That's probably what most people will want to know. If I place an order online or call during one of the days phone orders are opened, when will the product ship out? (Assuming normal in-stock, not back-ordered, etc.)

The warehouse will be closed for the entire week of Passover, so orders will not start to ship until Friday 17th April.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your understanding that this is a special time of year for us.

I stand corrected, looking back on the one time I ordered from Adorama, it was a Wednesday transaction, I was thinking of a Saturday purchase for some reason, silly me!

Helen -- i have a return to you at the fedex depot that can't be delivered .... could you please make certain it doesn't get returned to me? postage was $85 .

Yes they are closed, fortunately I got my order in on Sunday, and it shipped on Monday.

Wow, that would suck! What does Fedex/UPS/USPS do with all the crap that accumulates when these folks close up shop for over a week???

I bet they have stuff coming in from all over the place. I can't imagine shippers just holding onto the stuff until they get back. I would imagine they literally have semi-trailers full of stuff.

I wonder if they hire a couple of non-Jewish people to man the receiving dock during these times (to at least make sure shipments continue to be accepted)???

i called fedex today and the lady said it could be returned to me....but she said she would contact the depot and they would call me.

it's a 22 lb. package and cost me $85 to send, and when i sent the package i obviously didn't know that adorama would be taking 10 days off.

Yikes. Ed, are you still battling the return of the 300?
