Where to buy an Aquatica AD7000 in New York?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I was planning to buy the housing for my D7000 by the end of September, but now I need to go to US for two weeks and maybe I can get the housing while I'm there.

I will be in New York from July 18th to to July 30th and I need to know if anybody knows about some stores to buy the Aquatica AD7000 with the mini dome and some fiber optic cables for the Inon Z240 type4.

Bhphoto surely.

That's the store I went in NYC to buy my UW stuff att the time I was equipped with Ikelite.

Keep in mind they are closed from friday 2PM to Sunday morning and also on all Jewish calendar holidays though I think there is none in july.

They stock the AD7000 apparently : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/7583...ousing_for.html

I will be contacting them to be sure they have stock.

I just got a replay from BHPhoto that they don't have the AD7000 in stock.

Does anybody know why backscatter might not be answering my emails?

I contact them last week by email and I got quick answers but this week is a different story.

I sent an email yesterday and today, also sent a message using the website. I tried to call to the store but I got a voice mail telling me that I have to let a message and they will call back, I was calling from Chile so I doubt they will return an international call, I didn't live any message.

I already have the confirmation from backscatter that they have the AD7000 in stock and that they ship to hotels. I'm now trying to see how to send the money to them, but without any answer from them I think that I'm not going to get the housing.

FWIW, Backscatter is a really good place to deal with (have dealt with them alot). If they do not get back to you, post back, I will be happy to drop a call in to them to let them know you have been trying to reach them. A couple of them hang out here also.

There is a 6 week waiting list for the AD7000 so I doubt you will get one this month

Sad but true... I ordered mine June 2nd and am now just about to receive the new housing this week or next.

As far as Backscatter is concerned, it may be beneficial to you to register with them on their website.

Their shipping terms state they only ship to the registered billing address of the credit card holder, which is usually your home address.

However you can usually register another address with your credit card company as an authourized shipping address and they will gladly ship to that address.

From Backscatter's Shipping and Delivery Policies:

AUTHORIZED SHIP TO ADDRESSES

To protect against mail fraud and identity theft, we only ship to addresses authorized by your issuing credit card company. If you wish to ship to an address other than your billing address, please contact your card company and ask that they add your ship to address as an authorized address on your account.

This "authourized shipping to address" need not be in your country of residence as I routinely have products purchased in the United States shipped to an address very close to the border between Canada and the United States. Since I live within 20 km. of the border I am able to cross the border and pick up my packages with a minimum of fuss. This way I am able to avoid huge brokerage fees when declaring my purchases upon re-entering Canada.

Bottom line is: Check with your credit card issuer to see if you can list the hotel you are staying at as an authourized shipping address for the duration of you stay in New York. This may help you greatly should you find a suitable housing on the internet while staying in New York.

Good Luck

Hi guys,

Aquatica AD7000 was shipped to me yesterday from Backscatter and will arrive in two days!!!

Hi guys,

These story has a happy ending.

Today in the morning I received my new Aquatica AD7000 housing!!!!!

I want to thanks Jean Bruneau from Aquatica for helping me complete the list of parts that I needed.

Also thanks to Russ Sanoian from Backscatter for all the help and for understanding my particular situation for execute the payment. After the payment the housing took 2 days to arrive the hotel using UPS 3 days shipping, very nice.

I haven't assembled the housing yet because I'm in the office now, I will try to play with it in the night.

I will let you know how all ends.

With the housing in my hands I noticed that it will be better to have a rear cup for the dome and a cap for the housing, I will try to get it before returning to Chile.

B & H has received 2 D7000 shipments and have sold out in 1/2 day. They expect more >
