It was taken from my PayPal account. I'll wait a little longer. Worst comes to worst, I'll file a dispute before the 45 day grace period.

If you haven't found it on Cellular Factory's web site here's their California phone number, ask for Brian. That's the name listed in their emails that I recv'd.

I tried calling them before, but no one picked up. I have two open tickets that I've sent via their website contact form, but no responses to either.

Possibly since you used Paypal you won't get an order confirmation email and maybe you'll only get a message from Paypal once they actually have a shipping track number when it does finally ship.

I had this same thing happen to me last week while ordering something off eBay from a (legitimate) car dealership's part's department and paying with Paypal. No email communication what-so-ever from the company but the part did show up a week later than when they stated normal order processing would take.

If you feel like pursuing this further directly with the company here's Celluar Factory's contact info in their domain name record. The address is the guy's residence, as per Google maps.

I have a bulb blower exactly like this one that works quite well. Unfortunately, the rubber smelled so bad (and made my hands smell so bad) that I never used it. I found it in a box the other day, and it's in pretty awful shape after a few years.

A nice Giottos Rocket Blower is only $10.

Nice. Thanks! I might shoot him an e-mail.

I ordered 2 and got them a few days ago. I didnt get a shipping email as a matter of fact didnt get any emails from them other than an order confirmation.

I bet they had a hughe amount of orders for these. they are nice and smaller so it makes them easier to fit in my bags.

Wow, that stinks! This cheap one I bought doesn't have any type of smell to it.

I got mine and this place is 15 mins from my house so shipping was fast

Do people actually use the blower on the sensor?

I would think you attract more dust by blowing on it.

Up to $5.58 now, a whopping .40 savings lol. I bet orders started flooding in from this forum. Still a good deal I guess. Hope you get yours soon JLai.

Yeah it would seem more dust would collect on the sensor, which I'm sure they will if the camera is powered on (electrical attraction) while using the blower. When I used this blower and shot my sensor 4 or 5 times with power off and mirror NOT locked up all the dust spots were gone from the pics. I did a before and after test on a clear blue sky just to see for myselft. (test pics deleted)

Just how does one blow dust off a sensor with power off and mirror not up?! ...the sensor is NOT exposed to view because the electrical opening of the shutter curtains cannot be achieved with power off, and the reflex mirror would be in the way unless it were manually lifted upward so you could see the sensor.

I pointed the tip of the blower under and around the sides of the mirror without lifting it. Seriously, the dust spots were gone from my pics afterward. How tightly sealed is this curtain on the T1i's sensor where several heavy shots of air couldn't move particulates?

If you merely lift up on the reflex mirror, one sees that the shutter curtain is light tight (and therefore also air tight) or at least baffled so as to block straight line travel of light rays to the sensor. That is why the sensor clean function is built into the CFn, to give you access to the sensor surface. Dunno how you moved any dust off a surface which is protected from light...more likely the built in cleaning did more than your air bulb.

I ordered 2 on 06/23 and today it is still "IN PROCESSING" nice outfit. Certainly glad I didn't spend a lot of money with them.
