(Sale Ends on Thursday)"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Canon Direct Store<\/a> has been running a very hot 15%-off refurbished stacking sale<\/a> since Cyber Monday. Unfortunately, many customers have experienced significant delays, with several readers reporting that their orders are stuck in an “inventory fulfilled” state and yet to ship.<\/p>\n

We’re not sure what the situation is — there have been many Canon Store challenges this year. We’ve seen a lot of “phantom stock”, where the store will show “1 in-stock” for a long time, but orders go straight to a “backorder” state. We’re hoping all of these great 15%-off deals will get filled in the end.<\/p>\n

Our recommendation is to remain patient — check on your order status frequently. Patience is key, you’re getting a great deal, so be prepared to tolerate a long wait (which includes the 90+ minute hold to get phone support on your orders). For future deals, submitting your order early in a sale (and upgrading to expedited shipping options) seems to help in getting your item shipped out faster.<\/p>\n

The 15%-off stacking refurbished sale<\/a> ends on December 24th, but most things are out-of-stock and cannot be ordered. For all items below (except for the T7 kit<\/a>, which is showing 20+), the stock is so low it may be “phantom stock”, but the prices are great and it may be worth trying your luck — and patience.<\/p>\n
