Originally posted by loco I got the email from Ricoh and decided to cancel my Amazon pre-order and order from them. Then after ordering, it says the item is not yet available and they'll let me know when it's in stock. Felt like a bait and switch. I hope they just hadn't updated their stock on the system or something.
I just feel like Ricoh should have them before Amazon anyway.
Either way, I got sick of waiting on Amazon and getting absolutely no indication from them when they will ever be getting the camera in stock. Of course, now I'm sure later today I'll start seeing happy Amazon pre-order people posting about how their cameras have shipped!
I went through the Ricoh check out process and as far as I'm concerned, the 3-7 business day for "delivery" sounds like ahead of B&H, for me at least. It's now a race. Who ships first. But yes, kinda annoyed that
B&H doesn't have enough stock to fill pre-orders
Ricoh says "Now Shipping" in email and status on completed order says "Will ship via - pre-order. We'll let you know when in stock."
Seriously, somebody needs to get their stories straight, especially for those of us on time-sensitive deadlines.
Will cancel or return the other and won't feel bad about it one bit. This is a little messy from the consumer standpoint.
