If they are like most other companies they probably hired a fulfillment 
house to handle it for them.  These places are usually run on a very 
tight budget and the only way for them to make a profit is to run as 
lean as possible.  This can lead to very spotty operations.

The delay wasn't the vendor's fault. It was a Pentax rebate. Based on other 
comments here, I would say that they are usually very pokey when it comes to 
sending the rebate.

B&H is still bundling a new D with the DA 16-45 for $1599. 
This used to be accompanied by a $200 rebate. I'm not sure if 
that rebate is still in effect. BTW, I finally got my rebate 
check from Pentax this week. 
Took about six months and one letter of complaint.
     

I've bought a couple of items with money back promises which I have
eventually got back, but not until I have lost my temper in the shops
concerned. Unless the deal is the bottom figure there, on the day, when it
is ordered/collected I won't bite. I'm getting too old for all this sort of
hassle now. The istD I have just got was great news to the wallet on the day
and that I can live with. Enablement *should* be a fun thing.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
