A blog with no photos day without beer

So Nikon has responded to my enquiry with a 110 euro invoice.  I called customer service but they are in Ireland.  Spoke to a great guy but he was not successful in convincing Nikon repair to drop the 30 euros delivery charge assuming that I opt for repair.  I can buy a new camera for 50 euros with a 1 year warantee WTF.  The guy in Ireland said that I should have a native French person call on my behalf as the repair folks may respond more positively to a French person, welcome to France.  I took an alternate route and contacted the Canadian office they asked me to send an email describing my experience to their customer service area.  I did this and have received a survey.
