Derby,
While my experience was not as long and drawn out as yours, I had an
order that took longer than it should have and I had to call to find
out what was going on. About a year ago I ordered a used lens and got
the same excuse that it was not working correctly after waiting for it
for over a week. In your case I believe that what really happened is
that they sold the F300/4.5 to someone else. Perhaps it was a
walk-in sale or a phone order came in first. Either way they did not
have it any longer. It does not make any sense that the lens was not
in working condition. I am sure they tested it pretty well before
they bought it from another individual.
I am also guessing that the FA50 macro was sold to someone else before
they could ship the second order. So they used excuse number 2 (lost
in shipment). I think that as long as the item is on the shelf,
first with cash will get it. So walk in sales will get the item if it
had not been pack and shipped. This is only my gut feeling about
Adorama. I have no proof of this.
Perry.
Thanks Perry, that was my gut feeling too. The lost in shipment doesn't
make sense unless it was lost between the Adorama used department and
dispatch. If it was really lost it would have had to be shipped first
and I didn't get a UPS tracking number.
Oh well. I sent an email to the Adorama customer service department. I
wonder what they will say.
