Re: Migrating from Final Cut to Premiere: any advice?
 

If you ordered the download version, I'm not sure why it didn't go straight through, but if you ordered the boxed discs, then an order placed on Saturday would certainly not ship until at least Monday. No carrier whether it be UPS, FedEx, or even ol "rain, hail, sleet, or snow" USPS, does Sunday pick ups.

Another issue causing the wait is the need for manual credit approval during business hours. Try ordering anything from newegg and many other online businesses and you must wait for them to manually approve the order, which can only take place during business hours.

The silver lining of having my order "pending" is that I was able to call in today and cancel it. I was aprehensive of Adobe Customer Service in India. I had significant problems getting my Photoshop license moved from PC to Mac a few years ago. I finally got it resoved by filing a formal complaint with the BBB in California.

Anyway, this time I had better luck (though I still had problems understanding the gentleman in India. I had him send be an e-mail confirmation of the order cancellation.

After that, I called Video Guys and placed my order for the special pricing. Thanks for pointing this out.
