Why does everything I buy from a real store turn into a nightmare. I got a little Nikon coolpix camera , they were half price in a sale. It now has a battery fault so its unusable just days after the warranty ran out !! Looks it up online only to find this is a known fault , for which there is no cure its terminal . Nikons response is to post it back to them in Japan , which you cant do because it has a small internal battery that cant be removed . So theyve sold thousands of these , the fault has been known for quite some time and you can do nada about it . As it was pointed out online in one of the forums all you can do is never buy Nikkon again!! .
So im pictureless at the moment , i dont have a camera phone , just a cheapy Nokia for my endless calls , a smart phone is useless for someone who can be on the phone for hours at a time , they burn out . I need a camera for work so im trying my daughters ,which appears far to complicated for what i need ....Lifes such fun
I'm pretty sure the battery isn't a problem if it's fitted in equipment. Unfortunately some PO staff don't understand their own rules and will give you duff info.
ReplyDeleteOur not so local post office is a nightmare they wont accept any parcels that dont have the contents written on the outside in black marker . wont accept anything electrical then will insist you open the parcel to check the contents
DeleteI know. Aggressive and uninformed PO staff have put me off ever selling on ebay again. I don't even send birthday/xmas gifts to family by post any more - I'd rather order something online and let the retailer deal with it.
DeleteOur first digital camera was a Coolpix, was the size of a house brick but lasted years, when it packed up I managed to find a replacement on ebay for less than a fiver. It kept me going until i could save for an upgrade. I've just checked ebay and there's some working models on there currently at 99p. Should see you through. x
ReplyDeletepopped a couple of little bids on ..ta chuck
DeleteGood luck! I'll keep my eyes peeled, too. xxx
DeleteHow totally annoying. I agree that some times you just feel cheated by these big firms. We just decided computer firms have the same attitude - designed not to last so you end up making another purchase! Good idea to try ebay!!
ReplyDeleteThat is s*ds law isn't it? Hope you win one on ebay.
