Excellent news ! You may now start a new "fun with" thread ...Mine should arrive tomorrow, it has already been despatched by Wex Photographic.
You're assuming I will have fun with it .Excellent news ! You may now start a new "fun with" thread ...
Kind regards.
Of course you will ! Or else I'll make you a low-ball offer and you can send it to me !You're assuming I will have fun with it .
That's pretty nice. However I suspect that the stores that retail this camera are not thrilled by this.If you use their customer service when ordering you get 15% in free accessories just a FYI... 15% of $3199.99 is a significant savings.
Btw - I've sent Sony Online Shop a 'crocodile tears laden ' reply yesterday.
I wonder if they're going to respond ...
All the best.
No reaction from Sony yet ... :cussing:Keep us updated.
I find difficult to understand why deliveries are starting and customers are left behind, they scheduled delivery posponed.
Thinking of cancelling my order if Sony agrees, it will be easy to get one when things settle and we have some reviews.
Kind regards
I talked to Sony online store rep on phone on thursday; I was originally scheduled to have my delivery on 28th and they decided to postpone it to "mid august" without exact date by just sending me email. They told me that all "nordic countries" (I live in Finland) have been postponed to "mid august". Yet they thought it was convenient to advertize the availability on July 28th (same as all european countiries), charge my credit card on June 19th and now they just decide to deliver whenever they please because I live up here in north. "It is all in terms and conditions" the lady on the phone said and added sincere apologies like "if you buy out of country you are gonna have issues with warranty"...No reaction from Sony yet ... :cussing:
Bolded the reasons why I've bought about 20 000 Eur worth gear directly from Sony web store; I have covered pretty much everything with extended warranty and before this incident buying from them was the way to avoid any "living up north" delays and get gadgets same time (or even before) as rest of the europe. Their prices in Europe have never been that good, but I could live with that and pre-charging of the credit card until they decided to implement this new "deliver whenever we please policy".Sorry to hear about your experience over with that Sony Store. Here in the USA they were great! Much better deals than I could get locally or out of NYC, easy to deal with and obtain extended warranties through Sony, the do not charge me till they ship the product, and they historically always ship their products on or slightly before the rest of the country gets their products. I have no idea what their new retail sales options will be but the years I have used Sony Style USA have been enjoyable experiences. Now I hear they were tough on returns but hey I don't buy a product to return it, I buy it to keep it and use it.
It's in particular sour as my regular dealer will have the camera in stock as of 5th of August.Bolded the reasons why I've bought about 20 000 Eur worth gear directly from Sony web store; I have covered pretty much everything with extended warranty and before this incident buying from them was the way to avoid any "living up north" delays and get gadgets same time (or even before) as rest of the europe.

Oh well, I now have preorders on 2 different places in addition to Sony, one of them actually has about 300 Eur cheaper price. I'll just trial the one from Sony web store for up to 30 days and return it if they happen to be the 1st to deliver. All according to "terms and conditions" that they so kindly repeatedly rubbed into my face when I spoke to them.
Sent Sony Online Shop a friendly reminder to my precisely one week old complaint.It's in particular sour as my regular dealer will have the camera in stock as of 5th of August.
My apologies to him, but this suits me right - I suppose ...
Sony Online Shop stated 28th of July as earliest delivery date, hence I ordered from them.
And still no reaction to my complaint from those b@$#@^&s
Oh well, life sucks anyway ... :chug:
All the best.
