The issue wasn't with the signature, the issue turned out to be with (somehow) combining the requested shipping address with the billing address. The issue was resolved between FedEx and me, fortunately.

It's the same in my neck of the woods; no home deliveries on Mondays. But I did manage to talk to a couple of CSRs that did try to help, so that offsets the rest a little bit. Not much, but a little.

It turned out that somehow KEH managed to combine the physical address with the billing address, and after I called one of their CSRs a driver supervisor called me explain what happened. We got everything straightened out and I received my delivery within 2-3 hours. Since then, I've found a workaround that should work.

I've found what you said to be absolutely correct, Ralph. Another UHHer gave me the solution to the dilemma I've had: Simply use the physical address of the post office where my PO box is located, for example... 123 Sesame Street, #1234 (which is the actual PO Box); Bronx, NY 12345. I had this option before when I lived in a suburb of Austin and I used it all the time; this is USPS-wide, therefore I can use such an address and my orders will be delivered with no fuss. Problem solved.

Sorry, but I have to royally disagree with you on your statement. I double-checked and triple-checked my shipping address before completing the order; they somehow combined the requested shipping address with the billing address. It doesn't matter now anyway, for I have figured out a workaround that will solve any future issues with deliveries.

The mistake was not on my end, it was the fault of KEH. Whoever it was that created the shipping label for my order managed to combine both the shipping destination and my billing address. I did notify KEH about what happened, but they chose to ignore my notification. That's fine, for I have (1) figured out a workaround concerning my delivery address, and (2) decided not to order from KEH again after their silence on the issue; there are other dealers I can order from with little difference in price than what KEH has.

Beautiful, crisp photos. Well done!

Great captures! I didn't know that squirrels ate mushrooms like those either.

I purchased an 85 f/1.8 lens from KEH late last week; it was set to be delivered by FedEx on Saturday but never was due to the dreaded "customer wasn't home or business was closed" message. Mind you, I WAS home and I never saw any FedEx vehicle drive by on my street. I called FedEx up and talked to a CSR explaining my issue. I filed a complaint and was expected to receive my delivery on Tuesday (today).

Fast forward to today. Following my package via FedEx's tracking page, I see that it was on its way. As it became later and later in the day, I wondered what was happening because once again, I saw no FedEx vehicles on my street at any time. Well, I checked the tracking page...and lo and behold, it wasn't being delivered to Address A where I was, but to Address B where I have a PO box 10 miles west of there. Let's just say that I wasn't happy.

I called FedEx again to complain and to ask why was my package not delivered to Address A like I requested; the CSR took my phone number and would have someone call me back to explain what happened (yeah, right) and I said that it had better be a driver supervisor. Furthermore, I sent an email to KEH's sales department telling them about the situation and to see what they say or what they can do to mitigate the problem. It's not the fault of KEH, but I wanted to let them know what was happening with my order.

I have noticed that it seems like most camera vendors seem to be using FedEx for shipping instead of USPS like I would like to use preferrably because I have a PO Box for a reason. Any thoughts from anyone concerning FedEx, or want to share their own experiences?

Fantastic pics; very well done!

I'm going to say what others are already saying: Get the Lightroom and Photoshop subscription. I had used Picasa before, just to get my feet wet. I purchased the subscription and haven't looked back; it's really worth the money, and boy does it make a difference for editing photos.

I'm familiar with your struggle; I have diabetes as well and I use progressive bifocals (love them). Focusing can be an issue but I generally manage to get it done. I'm over weight and trying to lose more than a few pounds and watch my diet. Exercise isn't easy when you live in central Texas and you have those hot and humid summers, and you just want to say the heck with it...I'm staying in the A/C. I use Canon gear with Canoin lenses and a older Tamron telephoto zoom with filters. Take your time to make sure you get the focus right (I use manual focus almost exclusively). You'll make it....just hang in there.

I've received two of those calls. Let's just say it didn't go very well for them.

I second the motion; the Adobe tutorials with Julianne are great.

Choices (2) and (3) are your best options. Do (3) first then (2) and then you're good to go.
