Okay, I asked a question 3 hrs ago (I'll post link on additional details) about a camera that I purchased through a local retailer that did the special order.
It turns out I wasn't just missing a battery, I was ripped off! Not only does my class start in a week, and not only does it take 3 1/2 weeks to ship to where I am, but my Nikon D700 was taken out of the box and replaced with a Sony A200 (camera, lens, and charger). I'm really angry that my local retailer had to resort to a "grey market" as what other posters said, and charged me $4,700 for an already dropped price of a Nikon D700. I'm so fed up right now I don't know what to do. What do you recommend that I do? How do I tell my local retailer that I don't want anything to do with them anymore? I want a refund, what should I do if they tell me it's not possible?
Long post but I'm really angry right now words can't even explain.
Link won't go through.
If I ordered straight off of B&H photo, will I deal with this same issue? My camera was replaced with a cheaper, low grade camera, did their company do that? It's sad that people would resort to low things like this.
By the way, I went in and they weren't so shocked anyway. They said they'll call up the company to have them send in the correct camera. I don't want their services anymore and I want a refund. What steps do you recommend I take?
make so with what you got for now.. and when your finished then fix it (call the retailer) and get you money back and buy from from a known area where you trust. or even take the matter further topolice and for selling you a fake.
