Uncle Su’s Got Some.

I knew they were running low on inventory for this particular lens (very popular and in high demand with the festive seasons around the corner at that time), and so I called the sales department (after having to wait for almost half an hour on the phone). They told me blatantly that yes sir we have the lens in stock and no I don’t know what you’re talking about. Your lens will come soon. Bye bye.

Now my order was backordered and they expect me to wait for it. How long? A week? A month? Dude, by the time the lens arrive I wouldn’t even qualify for the rebate (deadline for submission in Jan 08). Plus $400 in the back account can earn me my interest… So no thank you, I canceled my order. Gimme back my money Beachcamera.com. I’m taking my business to bhphotovideo.com.

Pictured above is the screenshot I got in my account for the particular backordered item. Apparently the link to the item page was dead, which is understandable since they are out of stock.
