B&H's expedited 3 Day shipping arrived a day early. Kudos to UPS for dispatching two trucks to our rural area to get the job done. I know most of the folks at our local UPS facility. Today was their heaviest package volume ever.
Disappointed to know that the order I placed would not go through as planned. Apparently I placed the order, was charged the full amount on Friday. Today get an email stating that while preparing my order for shipment they opened their box from the shipper and stated that it was mismarked and there was no RX1R II inside. Surprising that a retailer would take orders for an item without verifying that the item was truly in stock, instead selling it based on the assumption that the product was inside the box they received for shipping.
So they stated that my order would be on hold, with no ETA when the camera would be received. Yet my card was charged and I would not know when I would receive my camera. Promptly canceled my order and went with Fred's B&H link.
I buy tens of thousands of dollars from B&H and the only reason I didn't go with them this time was the other store had a 3% rebate, but this instance just further proves to me that going forward I'm going to stick to B&H as my sole source for equipment.

That reason given to you sounds awfully suspicious...
