(warning: this post does not focus on Nikon.)
I just like to let you know I understand and share your disappointment.
The sales people at the Wolf Camera in Dallas (near loop 35 & Royal) are
just as bad and rule. So, I went trying mail order via Coast to Coast
and Focus??. They don't even reply to me. Since I belive in the system
of free market, I shop elsewhere.
All these companies just missed a mid four figures transaction I placed
with another mail order company. To really teach them a lesson, we, the
customers, needs to stop buying from them in one full week or month.
Cheers!
