[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 101933, member: 9240"] [b]Re: This is where ADORAMA drops the ball..............[/b] Did you choose their basic economy shipping where they quote 7-10 business days? What is likely happening is that the purchase process generates an invoice, which includes a shipping invoice complete with tracking number. This then goes to the warehouse where it waits in a pile for someone to put the box together and slap the UPS sticker on and put it in the pile for them to pick up. It's in the UPS system because it gets in there when the folks at Adorama generate it, but it doesn't have anything to do with UPS until Adorama puts it in their hands. Works the same with FedEx. Yes, there are times when things go unscanned, or a tracking number changes and you don't get updates, but by and large when you see this then your package is still in the originator's hands and not with the shipping company. From what I've seen with Adorama, their economy shipping has less to do with how long it takes UPS to get it to you than it does with how long it takes them to get it to UPS. I'll usually fork over the extra couple bucks for basic UPS ground to avoid this frustration. [/QUOTE]
