Canon Rebel T4i w/18-135 IS STM Availability
roger1:
Well, I'm very disgusted with Beach Camera and I'm sure there will be a few out there along with me when they get their kit in with the wrong lens.
I just got a shipping notice from Beach after calling this morning and telling them to put my order on hold.
So, I immediately called Beach and talked to Josh again. He apologized but can't stop my order. He's put a stop and return order in with Fedex but I paid for overnight so I may get it anyway. A signature is required so I can refuse it.
Of course now I have to wait to get my credit card refunded until they get it back. And, then I might have to argue to get my overnight shipping charges back I don't know.
I've purchased many things from Beach Camera and this is the first problem I've had with them. This is a BIG screw up. They still have a lot of gall to presently be selling the T4i with the non-STM lens for the same price as it is for the STM version that pretty much everyone will be buying in a couple of weeks.

Update:
Josh at Beach was able to stop the shipment and has assured me of a full refund. Just have to keep checking my credit card info now (I can do that on the web) and make sure that happens.
So, the hunt continues for the first available T4i / 18-135 STM kit. My Hawaii vacation starts July 9th and there are only 11 business days left between now and then.

I have one on pre-order from TigerDirect. I called and they told me they are getting some in on June 25th. You know how that goes though.
roger1:
Why did you choose Tigerdirect? Did you think it gives you a chance of getting it quicker by going with a third-party supplier than just waiting for a single supplier to get them in stock? Do you think Tigerdirect is better third-party supplier than Amazon? I thought about putting in a pre-order on Amazon while keeping and eye on the individual online camera stores. It's easy to cancel on Amazon.
Anyhow, I would be pretty happy this point if I could get one shipped on the 25th.
