UPS is hiring a lot of temps for the holiday rush and that’s were all the screw ups are happening. Quick training and then put on the job.
This is from the person at my local UPS store. There’s also some reports of stolen packages.
I know my order for some other items from amazon never showed up and tracking on amazon shows “packages lost”
I had to call and request a refund. I reordered those items this week.
I also had UPS deliver a Zeiss 135 APO lens a few years ago, where the Adorama box was completely mauled and held together by tape. Though the lens was fine, I had to send it back for replacement.
I hate UPS
I hope my 2 A7r iii bodies show up, and in one piece. Expecting it in 2 days, even though it was shipped by B&H on the 29th. It said label received for 4 days before there was any movement.
I was supposed to get it today.
I hate UPS. I wish I could use Fedex instead at B&H

I read this morning that E-commerce captured 57.6% of the growth from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, accounting for 20.2% of retail sales over the five-day period starting with Thanksgiving - an increase from 18.4% last year.
So it's small wonder that everyone from retailers to carriers - to me bashing away on my keyboard () are struggling to cope!

The Batmax dual Sony NP-FZ100 battery charger (1X NP-FZ100 LED Dual USB Charger) arrived today and is much smaller than anticipated: 85*54*24.5mm and 45g. No problem slipping this charger into just about any bag. Micro-USB to USB insures worldwide charging directly to computer, laptop, AC adapter, car charger or power bank. Just what I needed and like I mentioned previously, really can't complain about the price ( currently $12.99 on Amazon.com)
Well....my tiny $13 Batmax dual charger didn't work out exactly as expected. Seems the LED status lights on my unit never stop blinking even after the batteries are fully charged. Seems to charge the batteries ok, but in my case leaves some guess work as to when the battery is full charged or not :-(

Yes. Really interesting since all of the analysts were saying this black Friday would be a bust.

UPS Next Day Air...
It was on the truck for delivery but now it is DELAYED... I don't even know where it is... UPS must be really short handed making this many mistakes...
I'm working from home today just to accept the package... This is unfortunate....

I got a aftermarket charger from Amazon for the new Sony battery. Defective.

BH which earlier this morning said my 24-105 was backordered just changed it to processing, sent to warehouse. I'm now hopeful, although it looks like now I will have to start worrying about UPS.

Finally got mine.
Hoping everyone else still waiting gets theirs soon!
Well that's good, especially since I had the same problem as you with my UPS B&H order showing it was shipped but not yet picked up, and upon contacting B&H I got the same answer- that they were sure it had left the warehouse.

Hopefully I've got mine later today or tomorrow.
Did your tracking infomation ever get updated? Mine did on Saturday night so I opted to pick it up at the local hub. Quite a drive to get there but I figured it was better to do that instead of waiting for another possible delay.

Either way, hope you get your today as well!
Thanks! Nope- still hasn't been updated, sounds like I might be one of those people where it just gets delivered without ever being updated somehow. How knows.

I have my camera now... BH shipped it next day air as agreed and it arrived in Phoenix on Friday. Loaded on vehicle and then stayed on vehicle all day Friday. It was supposed to go to my local pick up center which is always the fasted way to get a UPS shipment for me. Anyway, it finally got there on Monday. I am going to give BH a few days to catch up before I ask for a refund of my next day shipping fee. I remain happy with BH and Adorama but it is clear that these product launches really strain their resources.

Received mine. I initially thought I was compromising ergonomics coming from D800, but I was wrong. It feels great in hand. I can't wait to play with it more after work
) are struggling to cope!
