It is a little off subject but when i see awesome aircraft I get the urge to re-up !! They keep turning me down !! They say I am to old !! I guess 80 is pushing the envelope a little !!!

I spend over 20 years in a customer service background.
It seems to be one of the things that has been lost in many of today's business models.

I always felt that, "A satisfied Customer is the Best & Most Cost-Effective Advertising Any Business Can Afford."

Yes, Helen has been helpful here many times. She has a colleague, who's name escapes me, who has also helped me.


That would be Libby, over at AdoramaPix - libby@adoramapix.com

Good idea! But my first thought was "Why would Adorama send out a smuged lens with no warranty card like that in the first place?"

Point well taken, which is why I was so upset. I am grateful to have the issue resolved so beautifully.

Simple. It could have been a counter demo or a customer return that was hastily reboxed and put in the wrong place.
The order picker would not know the difference and thinking it is new stock, sends it out to a customer, compounding the error.
This happened more than most people realize.

Glad to hear it!

Helen is the best.

She's the Terminator of customer service.


I will second that. Helen is a VALUED asset here! (And so is Henry & B&H!)

If Adorama was in the UK with that kind of service and their prices and special offers they would wipe up the camera market in this country.

Just wanted to say 'thank you' - particularly to Jennifer for her initial post; but also for all the very kind comments from all the 'hogs'.
However, I do want to stress that this speedy turnaround was very much a team effort.
