Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
If you have an American Express credit card, you may be eligible for a free ongoing membership to the Shoprunner service. Shoprunner gets you free 2-day shipping on select retailers on select products. It was created as an alternative to Amazon Prime. You can activate this either from the Shoprunner website or the American Express website.
PS: I don’t know which AMEX credit cards qualify for this offer, or if this is for all cardmembers or some.
UPDATE 6:41pm ET: there is a newer U3 “up to 95MB/sec” model that goes for $23 with a limit of 10 as well at Amazon by Amazon itself. Thanks to Scott for pointing it out in the Comments!
More PoNY action, this time it is an SDXC card. The 64GB PNY Elite Performance SDXC UHS-I U1 with up to 90MB/s (I mentioned this because it’s part of the model name and card face, so you can tell it apart from other models; I am not doing Memory Card Performance Measurements and Tests), model P-SDX64U1H-GE, is on sale for $23 with a limit of ten units per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. The usual free shipping terms apply (Prime or $49+ total/$25+ books).
Part of the ever-increasing line of house-branded AmazonBasics products (currently over 800 items), the AmazonBasics Holster Camera Case is on sale for $17 with a limit of three per customer at Amazon. This ships in frustration free packaging and has the usual free shipping terms (Prime or $49+/$25+).
Backups on the whole lifecycle of photography are more important than they are given credit for, because it’s not one of the sexier parts of the photography process. But it’s good to have backups and multiple options. Which brings us to USB Flash drives. The 256GB PNY Turbo Elite USB 3.0 Flash Drive, model P-FD256TBO-GE, is on sale for $55 with free shipping, with a limit of ten per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. It currently “defeats” the other storage sizes in its own line (32GB, 64GB, 128GB).
If you need items to arrive in a time sensitive matter or you have placed an expensive order and you don’t want to let it linger around in slow shipping hell, UPS My Choice members (free to sign up for; not the Premium tier) will be able to track their packages as they travel to your door. This is a new feature called “Follow My Delivery”. An infographic explaining the process is available from UPS in PDF format.
This feature is available only for Premium shipping services with a time commitment, such as Next Day Air or Worldwide Express.
Unlike the Amazon PrimeNow deliveries that can be tracked in the PrimeNow mobile app, tracking for this is done on the web. UPS will send you an email with a link to a “Follow My Delivery” url. So you can use it on any device that is capable of accessing the internet [this is based on what their email says, I haven’t used this service yet].
We just updated the Stock Status Tracker and we have good news for people who like good in-stock news. The Pentax K-1 body only is now in-stock in full force, three different retailers have it ready to ship at its starting price of $1800: Amazon itself and B&H Photo and Adorama.
Good news for Nikon D500 Body Only hunters, it is in-stock and ready to ship for $2000 by Amazon itself. Limit three per customer.

UPDATE (6/30/16): this offer may have ended. There was an email from AdoramaPix to email list customers informing of technical issues with the coupon below. The emails include what appears to be unique coupon codes, so the general purpose coupon promotion may be over…
ORIGINAL: Coupon time! Coupon code FREEPRINTS gets you 100 4×6 inch photo prints for FREE at AdoramaPIX. The email does not mention free shipping, so I am guessing shipping is additional but I haven’t gone through with the complete ordering process. Coupon expires 7/5/16.
