I ordered my Epson 3880 from B&H Photo during my visit to the annual PhotoPlus Expo in NYC 3 weeks ago. It arrived 3 days later.

The 3880 replaced my trusty Epson R2400. The main reason for the upgrade is that I wanted to ability to make 16x20 prints. Since installing the printer, I have not made any prints larger than 11x14, but the quality is awesome. The R2400 is an excellent printer, but the 3880 is even better.

I just ordered some 17 x 22 Epson sheet paper so I'm looking forward to make a few larger prints soon.

Cheers.

My 3880 arrived this morning - roughly a month after I ordered it.

After setting it up and making two prints on my habitual Epson Archival Matte I am thoroughly delighted! The canned profiles/ rendering are clearly better than my old 2100 with what I thought was a good custom profile.

And yes, my Manchester is in England .....

I ordered one from www.Atlex.com (also know as www.itsupplies.com) and I called to confirm the order; I was told it would ship out last week, never did, I called and checked again and they said Monday or Tuesday, I called on Monday and they said Thursday.  I checked their website and told them it shows as "In Stock" which it still does right this minute, yet they don't know when they are coming in.  Oh and BTW, they charged my CC.  I guess that's why I always deal with BH Photo, so much better, though admittedly I have never had a problem with Atlex in the past, but this time they are really dropping the ball and lying to me!  With tracking information the way it is, they know where the printers are in the supply chain.

A lousy way to do business!  Earn interest on the float for a month.

Well I do battle with IT all the time.. They are an Honest hard working company..It is not there fault nor or they misleading you, Nor are they making any interest for a month..That I will tell you! Neither are any other Epson resellers we are all in the same boat..we are being told one thing and there seems to be one delay after another. ( Parts Supply) Currently 4880,7880,9880 are impossible to find and the dates keep changing..at least the 3880's are shipping..very slow at best but they are shipping.

The Epson world is very hard to follow and tracking info with shipments is virtually non existant until after they ship..the problem is knowing when..

By The way Interest on $1300.00 US for 30 days is what a $1.00 so in my opion he has lost money if you spoke with them on the phone and emailed several times.. Half of my day at least is explaining this problem on the phone to customers. im..

Remember when a new product hits Epson goes on allocation based on size IT is well positioned there just like my company..If you took pre orders depending on home many you had you may have filled them or may not have filled them all ( Thats our case ) we where allocated about half.. B & H Didnt take pre orders so when it went live with them they might have been available..

Just my .02 worth

They will all be shipped soon thats for sure!

Jim,  I can appreciate your point of view, but the bottom line is if something is not available then you don't show it on your website as "In StocK" that's simply dishonest.  As of this morning they FINALLY show it as "Out of Stock" however, that is 8 days after I ordered mine and they showed them as being "In Stock" everyday until today.   As far as the interest, we can calculate it any way we want, but if they had 100 payments at $1300.00 a piece and collected 5% per year then that's more like 540.00 per month and as the numbers grow, well you see  my point.  Any reputable dealer that I have ever dealt with does NOT charge a credit card until the item has shipped.  And it's very difficult for me to believe that nobody knows where they are in the supply line, logistics today are such we even know when our cars are being painted as they are being built.

Maybe Shades of Paper does business differently?

As of this morning B&H Photo shows them as being "IN STOCK" that means they are actually available

My 3880 came through last week. Very easy to set up and so far very happy with the results. As a result of some paper manufacturers not quite uptodate with their ICC profiles, I invested in a Spyder3Print calibrator - still learning with that.
