5/5

posted Aug-19-2008
I ordered a Fuji camera on 8/13 and immediately received email confirmation asking me to call to confirm my order. I did and the salesman then tried to tell me the batteries that come with the camera can't be used and I needed to buy NiMH batteries or the camera won't work. I insisted that I did NOT need to buy the batteries so he tried to sell me an overpriced warranty but would not tell me where I could read the terms and conditions of the warranty before purchasing so I declined. He said the camera would be shipped immediately. Today - 6 days later - when I called for a status, same guys says "I'm getting ready to ship it now, but you forgot to buy the batteries"! Go through this again, THEN he asks me why I didn't buy the US model which he can sell me for $349 (instead of the $189 listed on the website) and won't tell me where on the website it says anything about the camera I'm ordering being a foreign model without a manufacturers warranty, just that it "clearly states this in HIS policy" and won't tell me where that is either. I told him to cancel the order. I'm beginning to doubt these people even have any cameras to ship!
