<p>Thanks guys, yes I ordered after B&H opened up online ordering Sat. Sunday morning I received the shipping confirmation which had no information on it. Later in the day I checked and that's when I noticed the shipping arrival date and time. Their website states they are open on Sundays as Saturday is their off day. They were very prompt in responding to my emails and concerns. <br> Not sure UPS is running in New York on Sundays as they certainly are not down this way, but the email did state the order would be recalled and another shipped for one day delivery. As big as they are, this presents no real problem for them I suppose. </p>

<p>Thanks Craig, I live in Louisiana, so it is always at three days before I receive any expedited orders. But there last email to me was that they were going to recall the initial order and then reship tomorrow under the one day delivery option. </p>

<p>Hi Shun, apparently I chose expedited shipping as that usually takes several days. I went over my shipping options and didn't see a one day option, but that certainly doesn't mean it's not on there somewhere, I certainly wanted it one day. B&H has always been on the up and up with any problems I have had, which is very few, including this one. I use paypal to purchase items and I am wondering if there is something I missed during checkout. <br> Never ordered from Adorama but have only heard good things about them as well. Happy Holidays all.</p>

<p>Ordered a Nikon SB910 & reflector kit from B&H yesterday (Saturday). Supposedly you get free one day delivery with this item (states this on every SB910 item on their site). Well, my shipping link to UPS comes in today and the delivery day is Monday the 29th. Needless to say, I am not at all happy with this. To make it even more interesting, the reply from B&H is this:<br /> Thank you for contacting the Customer Service Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio. <br /><br />Your order has already shipped. At this time You will have to refuse the package upon delivery. If you wish to get the kit with free One day delivery you will have to place another order. <br /><br />Please let us know if you require any further assistance. <br /><br />Thank you, we appreciate your business."<br /> My question is and to them, which I have no answer yet, if it states it on their website, why was it not shipped to me that way? There was no button to click on checkout, so I stupidly "ASSumed" I would get it delivered this way. B&H has always been on time with the items I order, and no, I am not a big time spender with them, but the site should specify what else I needed to do to have the item shipped to me in the one day time frame. Enough, Christmas shots will have to be with my old SB600. Rant over.</p> <p><br />My question is and to them, which I have no answer yet, if it states it on their website, why was it not shipped to me that way?

I still maintain that there was no button to click at least to these old tired eyes. </p> <p>"I am very sorry for the confusion. To get the free 1 day shipping you would have had to select that option during checkout. In this case we will recall this package and reship this tomorrow with 1 day shipping to arrive on Tuesday. <br /><br />I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. <br /><br />Please let us know if you require any further assistance. <br /><br />Thank you,"</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I'll check all my local sources first. Didn't know if this was a "special" thread besides the numerous metric types already out there.</p>

<p>Thanks Brian, I'll give them a try. There are some hobby shops close by though, I'll have to check and see if they can source the same thread. </p>

<p>After getting acquainted with my 503cx, I wanted to be able to use it on my arca swiss head along with my other cameras and after searching here, it was either adapt the hasselblad plate to an arca swiss plate or swap out the tripod plate on my camera body. found clear sight still has this plate and ordered one. Very helpful guy and fast shipping. No problems there. But after checking, my original screws were too short and the paper work with the plate stated that if they were, to contact Hasselblad and order the longer screws needed with part numbers listed on the paper work. After contacting Hasselblad, I may have to give up medium format photography with this company as $15.80 for ONE 3.5mm screw is a little much for me. She double checked. That is the going price from Hasselblad. If anyone knows of a source with a better price, please indulge me. </p>

<p>I'm with you Matt, here in Louisiana, the heat plus humidity makes for a sticky day.</p><div></div>
