United Electronics Group out of business

I've had my nikon coopix P900 fixed three times. Nikon doesn't do it. They farm it out to United Electronics Group. It has always been quick and painless, a couple days. This time they received my camera Sept 21 and still have it. They won't answer the phone, return voicemails or emails. My camera disappeared into a black hole and I was worried. Fed up, I called Nikon USA today, the mother ship. They said United Electronics Group went out of business and they are in the process of collecting all the un-repaired cameras to fix them at Nikon. Jeez, what a shit show. Guess I'm not taking my P900 to Oregon on Friday!

Murphy never sleeps. I think Walmart & Sam's club has them reduced because of the coming P1000, if your local one has it in stock. It would give you a backup or you could resell after you have two P900s.

A camera that needs four repairs is probably three too many ...

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like time for a new P1000.

It was never the camera. I did a lot of dumb stuff including knocking over my tripod and broke it every time. Operator error. I would rather not humiliate myself further by elaborating...

Never Heard of this Business, when my Both of my Coolpix Pocket Cameras (11 & 16) had Problems & was Out Of Service, Nikon Repaired Both in House at its Repair Center that was then in The City of El Segundo, California, In Suburban L.A. I had No Issues.
