Tum tee tum, come on Amazon

Ordered a shiny new GX-10 w/ twin lens kit on Saturday evening, the order status page said 'dispatching soon' which was great. My bank balance was low enough after buying it I went for super saver delivery, but then to my horror they estimate delivery for the 8th at the earliest - which is the day I go on holiday *doh*.

They still haven't dispatched it either, if I don't have it in time I'm gonna spend the whole week being annoyed I can't get photos grr. Anyone here got experience of the free delivery?

IMX they often don't dispatch until a day or two before the last possible day with the SuperSaver, sometimes you get lucky, but more often that not, you don't. I would assume that they do this to get things shipped in bulk rather than individually somehow to save on shipping costs. Even if you go for their next day-ish delivery it can take 3 days.

Too late now, but this is why I order from companies that show next-day courier delivery if it's something expensive and I want ASAP
