G3 from us1camera.com

Eiran · Mar 4, 2003

I just placed my order for a G3 from http://www.us1camera.com

I talked to Rob on the phone who gave me the same price and ground shipping listed on their website. Total comes to $589.95. Pleasent, no hassle, no pushing on the phone. He said that the camera will go out within 24-48 hours.

I will keep you updated as to what happens next!

Keep in mind they us1camera allows returns of 14 days from date of their shipping the camera to you..So better look it over and test it fast.

I pulled the trigger yesterday at US 1.com, also, after my Oly 2100 gave up (minimum repair $294 - ouch!). Had a hard time between the G3 and the Nikon 5700. After having the 10x zoom with image stabilization, I can't seen to ignore the usefullness of a huge telephoto lens. I got the G3 anyhow - saved $300+ on that decision. Now it is waiting time since I was too cheap to get faster shipping than overland on a camel.

Wonderful experience ordering ar us1.com. Hope the delivery is as effortless and easy.

Oh cool to hear others are in the same boat.

Are you guys planning to call to confirm that your order was shipped tomorrow? Does us1camera email confirmation?
Thanks

I ordered a G3 The sunday before last over the internet. Received a email to call and confirm. I called them up sunday afternoon. A polite salesman offered some extras, which I declined ( no pressure). The following Tuesday I received an email with a UPS tracking #. The camera arrived This past Friday. New in box, USA warranty, all parts included. The camera works beautifully. Only complaint is poor packing. But the camera box was intact without damage. Very pleased

So today I got a call from my credit card company's fraud department asking me if to approve this sudden large bill. I had to call back and say yes (pain in the butt, but nothing to do with the camera store, but rather built in fraud protection of the credit card). Anyway, US1 sent me an email saying they couldn't process my order b/c of the credit card.

I called them immediately (they included the extention of their billing dept in the email), and worked it out within 3 minutes. They told me I should be getting an email with my UPS routing number soon...

Will keep updating you...

I too will be interested to see how your experience is. I've been contemplating buying from these guys. I've heard more good than bad, especially related to the G3.

Thanks,

Greg

Harmony Computers (www.harmonycomputers.com) has the G3 for $585. free shipping. First page of site says $605. but click on the G3 and it says $585. I had a good experience here. No sales pressure at all. Good rating at resellerratings.com too.

Day 3 (would have posted this yesterday, but the forums were down)
--------

The camera was shipped and I got two emails (afternoon and evening) informing me of the UPS tracking number. The camera would have been shipped on Day 2 but b/c my credit card company blocked the sale until I called them it took an extra day. To avoid this you may want to call your credit card company and tell them a big charge is coming... just a thought.

Day 4
-------

According the UPS website my camera package was scanned in at Brooklyn, NY (location of store?) at 7:55PM yesterday (day 3).

At 4:39AM today (day 4) it arrived to Maspeth, NY, and departed Maspeth at 6:40AM.

Current location somewhere between Maspeth and my house!

More later.

I got my G3 today! Six days after I ordered it... Yea, it wouldn't have gotten here faster without the credit card delays but what can ya do?

Other than the not so great packing everything else was awesome. Warranty, camera, accessories in the box, books, everything was perfect.

As soon as I got some good shots I'll post them up here.

Did anyone purchase G3 or any digital camera from Buy.Com??

I placed a G3 purchase order w/ 2nd day shipping method on Sunday and was expecting to receive the camera on this wed or thurs. But until now, the order status is still in "Sent to Warehouse". And I did try to reach the help line over the phone and realize that there is a charge for getting help from Buy.Com over the phone!!!!!!!!!!!! the charge rate is around 7 or 9 dollars per call.. correct me if i am wrong... But this whole thing is ridiculous...

And my question is that how long it usually takes to get the product after placing the order?? Has anyone dealt w/ Buy.Com regarding to this kind of issue before??

Thank you in advance for ur help..

I was just about to tell you that with Buy.com, I always get my package long before the web site is updated.
