You haven't lost the money. Paypal just took $1USD to verify your card. Check your card balance (online or call the bank) in a few days and see you'd get two bills from paypal. Just tell paypal those 4 digits numbers to 'verify' your account, they'd give you the money back when you do your purchase next time

Thanks for your information.
I'm working with Pentax web store and they said they are investigating the issue.
At first they asked me to check with Paypal but I did not accept because I selected Mastercard payment method (not Paypal) so why Paypal deducted my account? :dunno:
The lost is not too much but it seems the web store has problem and can cause same failure to other Pentaxian :embrass:

Next time when you see a good deal, just grab it

Just went up again to $480, seems like they are playing the demand game. (or its in high demand as expected.)

Quite disappointed since they didn't really have a robust shopping system and navigating the cart is a nightmare and along with the price climbing too much to make the purchase worth it.

Maybe should change the thread title to DA 18-135mm Only $480?:embrass:

Yes, just grab it with 2 failed transactions because of Pentax web store. Oh, bad luck!
Then price increases to 450$, and now is 480$. Poor me and give up.

Can't expect Pentax to keep the price like these. Eventually price come back when supply runs out.

I understand that, but to come back up twice within the same week? And with their really shitty web cart system?

:angry:

Well, I think $480 is still a good price compared to buying second hand at that right?

Don't keep procrastinating.. Haha! Grab it before it even becomes $550 next week.. LoL!

 

[pchmj]

I regret for considering too long. Should have grab it once I see it. $60+7% GST wasted.

 

[edutilos-]

Ahem, if you wanted it at that price enough, you could have called Emjay. There is a contact me link on the Pentax webstore page. Just saying..

Totally agree, I had some problem too and call them up. Glad I did! 480 still worth it bro. Like stock market, lose a bit better than lose all.

 

[wed07]

I placed an order but received 2 confirmation orders, I immediately inform the web store and my bank, I hope I can settle this, otherwise I don't want to have 2 da 18-135 as I can only afford 1 at the moment

I still think it's a bang at 480...

I ordered this earlier. It went pretty smooth and hassle free with PayPal. Not sure about the other experiences here. Was it the credit card payment system that cause the problems?

 

[pchmj]

Placed order yesterday, transaction is smooth. Has anyone received their lens? How many days will it take?

Took about 4 to 5 days in my case. They gave me a call before delivering.
