It's on its way!

Re: It's on its way!

Ho hum, two steps forward and one step back. I have been on the phone to Olympus to see if the two promo items have been dispatched yet and if there is a tracking number for them. They took my details and phoned me back to tell me that they will be dispatched next week and I should have them by the end of the week. How I wish that I had noticed that little button in the ordering process.

Ouch - that must hurt. A new camera you cannot use.

It's getting to the stage where the phrase "you couldn't make it up" applies more and more to the Oly shop.

Makes me nervous that whenever mine does arrive it could be without HLD-7 and MMF-3 which would convert it into an excellent chocolate teapot.

Hi Hec. If the HLD-7 and MMF-3 are showing in your Order Overview on the online shop they should arrive packaged with the camera body.

yep -they are. Got that bit correct it seems.

My quoted sequence of events would probably be enough to tip me over the edge and complete the process of turning me into Victor Meldrew

9 Address information needed;contact DHL. 1139

Unfortunately I was out using the EM5 so didn't get the message until 1540. The contact number given was in Belgium. Anyway I phoned and established they'd somehow got the postcode wrong. Belgium said if they sorted it out the camera wouldn't arrive before Monday so they gave me the UK number. Can't think why the website didn't have that in the first place. UK says it will now arrive tomorrow.

I'm having to find displacement activities. Like cooking dinner, having a glass of wine, then another one... looking at the manual which came with the camera, coming on here... The first 9 pages of the (completely basic) manual are in English. The rest, up to page 199, are in various foreign languages. Another glass of wine required...

How long does this battery take to charge...???

Re: It's on its way!

Manual is pretty much useless, try this link and get a good one

re battery around 2 1/2 hours to charge
