Amazon showed the E-P1 as in stock for Adorama so I ordered it through the link here. Amazon charged my card because Adorama accepted payment for it, which means they should have verified the item was actually in stock before accepting payment. They must have sold the last cameras and then didn’t have my E-P1. I was sent a message that it was backordered and might ship in 14 days. I canceled the order because I was only buying it because it was in stock and wanted it for this weekend. Now it will take 4-6 business days for the refund to be sent from Adorama to Amazon and then from Amazon to me. This is very frustrating and I hope you all read this warning and proceed with caution. It is bad business. I have never bought from Adorama and now do not plan to in the future.
Adorama was very responsive in getting the refund back to Amazon, however the funds have still not been posted to my account. It is annoying to have to wait to get my money back. I would suggest cutting out the middle man (Amazon) with low stock items if at all possible.
