Already done.........

I just jumped on the DigiDirect deal too. I spotted a post on FB alerting me to it.

Just bought one, the deal is too good to pass up.

Congratulations. I hope there are no import duties you have to pay.

Hehe, have sent the camera to a pilot friend in Queensland. :-)

9:20am Monday June 27, and the 10% off everything deal is still there on the Digidirect site! It was supposed to end on June 26 (yesterday). I'm guessing it will be pulled any minute.

UPDATE: Now showing "Extended", but no indication of for how long. Interesting. They must be doing a roaring trade.

OK I jumped on this too ....... looking forward to the package

Just got an email from DigiDirect:

Our 10% off everything sale must end midnight tonight
MUST END MONDAY 11:59pm 27th JUNE 2016

(I guess they are talking Sydney time.)

Some good deals, Pentax and non-Pentax.

"Unfortunately, due to the item/s being out of stock, our suppliers have indicated an approximate delay of up to 7-14 working days for stock availability."

Must be a popular deal.

Wild Mark · 06-27-2016, 01:01 AM

I got hat message too. All good. I have been very patient for this - the wait is not an issue for me

lenticular · 07-01-2016, 01:48 AM

As of today I'm still on the wait list for more stock - they told me today that they have orders stretching back about a month, so today's shipment of 4 (7?) units didn't include satisfying my order!

Not surprising. At that price, I bet they sold plenty. I got in early and had the K1 almost immediately. Just waiting for some decent weather now to actually use it ...

Kiwipixter · 07-01-2016, 04:18 AM

Bummer, I am not going to have it on my Queenstown trip in a couple of weeks.
