Can still join the MO?

Yet to received my 550EX shippment.

Normally it will take a week but it is coming to 2 weeks now. Might be due to the holiday seasons. Recently order something from BH Photo to be shipped to US Vpost. Took more than a week instead of 3 days.

Next shippment, I will insist Gary Fong to ship via registered mail with tracking number. I have paid him enough shipping fees to use the tracking service but but his actual shipping fees is so much lower. :thumbsd:

Yes. Still can.

 

[swhyge]

Yes. Still can.

Thanks. So please advise how to proceed. It will be for Nikon SB800 - i unit.

Update:

Gary Fong just replied:
Wee, I am in Canada but just got word that the Post Office returned it to us for security reasons. For a self-stamped box after 9/11 it must be presented directly to the post office. So Dana from Los Angeles is going to hand-carry the box into the post office. Sorry for the inconvenience, we had no idea but it is going in today.

Looks like we can only receive the 550EX earliest by next week.

In the same email, I'd request him to keep me informed once the model is available. Not sure if he noted it down.... Will have to prompt him or his assistant again...

Check with Gary but no reply. I think he's in Canada now. Will check with him next week.

Just got an email reply from both Gary and his assistant:

The Lightspheres for the SB80 and for the 580 aren't in yet. Should be in within a week, though.

So does this mean the Nikeon ones will be $69 too?

Likely to be cheaper...
depends on exchange rate and shipping cost.

 

[weekh]

The Nikons are in but didn't hear anything abou the 580EX.
Now I'm waiting for Gary to confirm shipping cost for the Nikons.
