Man, I can't wait to get my lens. Oh wait, I have been waiting, for over a week now.
I placed my order with borrowlenses on the 14th, they didn't ship it until the 17th, and then it was delayed by the big east coast storm, and just today 8 days later they finally attempted to deliver but no one was home to sign for it.
I finally sent them an email this morning:
"Hi, I ordered this on the 14th, as part of the holidaze special, it took until the 17th for it to be shipped, even though it was in stock, and it still hasn't been delivered."
Here's the response I got:
"Robert,
I'm sorry for the mishaps going on with this order. Since you didn't select a specific date, we gave priority to other orders going out over yours. We shipped it as soon as we could thereafter. In the future, please indicate an arrival date, or we will assume that you can take delivery any given time. In any case, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Here is your tracking: http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?tracknumbers=432859960982
12-19 : Delay beyond our control
12-21: Local delivery restriction, delivery not attempted
12-22: Customer not available or business closed - Signature required
Are you having severe weather in your area? It appears that way, otherwise FedEx is being uncharacteristically behind schedule. In terms of todays status: customer not available, FedEx tried to deliver but they didn't find anyone to sign. Were you available when the package went to your shipping address earlier today? They will attempt delivery tomorrow as well, until they can get the signature necessary to leave the package.
Please let me know how I can help from here.
Lisa"
