Greetings all,
I recently ordered a new Epson 4900 from my local photography store, who is an Epson Pro retailer and has a fairly large store front and online retail operation. I was told on the phone that one was in stock in their warehouse, then that one would be delivered in 3 to 5 days when i showed up to the store to pay for it... that became a week, then an undetermined time, and that was more than 2 weeks ago. Last I heard today is that Epson cannot say when they will be able to ship one.
Needless to say i am growing frustrated, having shelled out 2500 dollars two weeks ago for what became an undetermined delivery date. I do try to support my local pro store when I can, but I am curious to hear if other forum members are having the same experience in trying to purchase a 4900, or if I am still not getting the straight story from my dealer.
Any comments you can share will greatly help me decide to either be patient or to try to get a refund from this vendor and pursue another avenue to buy this printer.
Thanks,
Stefano
