"They said they have Pentax DA* 16-50mm lens in stock when I've emailed them to make sure before I order. After I place my order, three days later, they canceled my order saying that I've requested to cancel my order which I did not! When I called the customer service person said the do not have the item in stock! From the email conversation below, other person from their customer service confirm me that they've got the recent stock last week! Now I'll wait for my refund! Do not trust or buy from this store! This is base on my real life experience with Prestige Camera.

Thank you for your response. I've ordered the lens with your company. My order number is: 54029100. Could you please make sure the shipment has extra protection against damage during the shipping? It would be great if you can include the fragile symbol on top of the shipping box.
Thanks,

Could you please confirm me whether this is new stock or not? I would not want to have SDM failure and focus issue that is very usual for this lens.
Thanks,

It is currently in stock.
The serial numbers are not scanned in our system until the item is shipped and given that I do not have access to the warehouse I am unable to get the first 4 digits of the serial number. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Hi,
Could you please help me to verify if the current Pentax DA* 16-50mm you have in stock or not? Also is it possible that you can give me the first 4 number of the lens serial number? I just want to check whether it is latest release or not before order.
Thank you very much for your help,
