Neverending (Servicing) Story...

[overdodo]

Actually I have been pretty busy and stressed with work, so I try to take it easy... outside of work...

Ebay has a HK seller selling the lens for a good price, so I'm sure this lens is in stock..
Update 3rd July 2012 (Tuesday):

Called them up at about 750 pm after work and spoke to Mike. He said he still has no idea when the lens will be here, and when I asked about refund, he said he will know when his boss comes in tomorrow. Said to call him back on Thursday, so lets see.

Will update again.

cheers

Just insist on a refund and get the lens from else where... no point to keep waiting and waiting.

You sent the lens for warranty claims in January... it is already July now. 6 months have passed and by the time you get back your lens the "shop warranty" will be ending very soon.

I really admire your patience. I would tear the shop down or Mike apart if I were you. With that being said, I'm glad I made the choice of not buying anything from them. I was so close to adding some manfrotto tripod and tripod head into cart and click the "checkout" button. Phew

Update 5th July 2012
Called them up a little after 6 pm. He seems confident that the lens will be in on Saturday, and will if its here, I will be there to test and pick it up.

Patient... I am...also partly because I'm have some belief that I'm not being scammed... just unhappy that it took so long. As long as the brick-and-mortar stall is still there, I guess I'm still 'safe'...

I would suggest you contact them by email. It's a physical record of all your patience.

Just in case.

Update 6th July 2012
Received a call from Mike at about noon today saying that the lens is in !
Picked up the lens at about 6pm after work today!
Tested it until i'm happy.. its a new good copy without any issues.

Well.. I suppose this is the end of the saga, I didn't get conned or cheated. It just took time..
I got a good price on the lens when I bought it and would still have bought it if I had the chance.

cheers
