I just ordered a 30D body at Dell witch said will ship within 24 hours but when I checked out they said expected ship date to be June 24th.

Has anyone ordered a body and got it faster. I need it by the 22nd for a wedding. Thanks
 
When I ordered (about 3 weeks ago). they promised 3 days to ship. They did that.

Try an email follow-up.
 
One thing you might do is use the online customer support chat via their website to ask them to cancel your order. According to their scripted policy they will immediately offer you overnight shipping. If you insist on canceling they will put the cancelation in for you. Then the shipping department will either ship it immediately or cancel your order depending on how good a price you paid!!

There are those that read the small print and learn through knowledge, while others ignore the small print and learn through experience.
 
if you really just ordered this then you didn't use the 15% coupon that was available a couple of weeks ago. That coupon is why the thing is backordered. I would guess that by trying to cancel on line you can probably jump the shipping queue and get it immediately.

You should have ordered from BuyDig.com

Not only would you have saved money, but you could have had overnight delivery and it still be less than Dell.

I would have gone somewhere else to get it but i had my dell preferred account I put it on.
 
Did you get free shipping, or did you pay for the '24 hour', or next day shipping?

If you paid, I would definitely call them up and ask that they change your shipping charges to something less expensive. I had to do that when I was promised an item from them within 1-2 days and had paid extra for the faster shipping, then it turned out they couldn't ship the item for 3-5 days. I ended up with free shipping, and faster delivery.

Sorry, but when I pay for next day or 1-2 day shipping, I expect next day or 1-2 day shipping. Just a thought.

well i just got off the live chat with dell and all they could do is give me free shipping seeings i already picked next day shipping.

Well it is my own falt. i went and traded in all my minolta digital equiptment for a 17-85 IS lens. I should have waited for the body to come from dell first. But i saw that the 30D body would ship within 24 hours on there website and it is 2 weeks before my next wedding i thought it was safe. I do have my Maxxum 7 film camera as back up. I just hate to go back to film now. I have not shot film in 2 years. If nothing has shipped by next friday i will try to get it locally and then cancel my order.
Thanks for all the help.
 
They're pretty popular. I got mine through "Cameta Camera" via E-bay.

They did very well here because they ended up running out of the Lexar 133X - 2Gig card I ordered. I originally paid for 2 day shipping, but they went ahead and shipped it overnight (on thier nickel) because of the shortfall. Because of this, they have earned my future business.

Everyone I spoke with on the phone was pleasant and knowledgible.
 
I called it in. They did not have it yet, but I received it on the day it was supposed to ship.

That also happened to me with my laptop and desktop, so they were ahead of schedule.

Did you purchase it through home or small business? Small Business is Always MUCH better service.

I also received 15% off so I got it for about $1194. I did have to pay tax and got free shipping.

Hope that helps.
