Well christmas morning, as I was getting ready to go to my daughter's place to open gifts, I noticed that I forgot my camera. When I went to get it off the dresser, it fell. I turned it on and it worked, Great. But later on when I wanted to take pictures, the camera would not work. It would not turn on.
I have four year warranty on it but it doesn't cover for damage from dropping it etc.
I got it at Best Buy. In the past I brought a Kodak camera there for my .Popup Linkdaughter and it broke after the warranty was over. The picture of my daughter and neice Megan was taken with the Kodak camera this Christmas. Best Buy and Kodak together gave me a brand new Kodak camera the same kind that was damaged. My camera is a Popup LinkCanon Powershot Popup LinkA95 I just brought in June 2005. Wish me luck.
For those of you following my progess on the house renovations, I posted some pics of the master bedroom, but it didn't last long on the front page, because of all the postings, please check them out.

  • They told me that because it's close to new year that I likely won't get a response for at least 6 weeks. I'm hoping for the best.

    I agree that if the customer is loyal to the store and honest with them, the store will also work well with the customer. My husband has traveled out of town to customers homes to look at their equipment to see if he can help, and he has spent his own time on helping customers.

    Well, Best Buy tried selling my Step Mom things by LYING to her over the holidays saying an item she was purchasing didn't have certain things with it, but yet on the box it clearly stated what was in it, the man then told her they were just samples of sorts and she needed to PURCHASE more, he was way off in saying that and if he wasn't LYING then he should learn his products better. When you buy a vehicle from a dealership, do they not lie about interest rates? Prices? They most certainly do. So retail America is full of lying not at all stores but alot of them, and I agree, I give the respect I get from a retailer, but please just because your ass is being kissed doesn't always mean you're NOT being lied to.

  • This should be the theme song of Corporate America: Well I'm reading this poem And it's so profound And I like it's rhythm And I like it's sound It's by a very famous poet No critic can criticise And then I pause a moment And I start to realize He's telling.......... Lies lies lies lies, lies lies lies lies......... On the motel tv. I dig the evangelist He'll tell you all about that And then he tell you all about this He's preachin' up a storm By the sea of galilee He's mixin' up the truth With something funny I start to see... He's telling.......... Lies lies lies lies, lies lies lies lies....... I never had this problem With nobody in the government I guess I always figured They never mean what they meant And God help us all Not to be so stone surprised When we wake up in the stars With the skies in our eyes If we keep telling...... Lies lies lies lies, lies lies lies lies....

  • Well Heart...good luck with the camera. I would keep my integrity...eventhough you may have been lied to, it is *right* to keep your honesty. I have been lied to and I find that if I keep my integrity then...I am that much better for it. It may sound quirky and not the *popular* choice...but i choose to try my best to be *honest*...

    - ummmm

  • Geez, People, I wish for all of you a sense of Humor for the New Year, We were only kidding about the lying stuff. We said it in jest. And now we are evil and on the next train to hell. Laugh, have a glass of red wine, good for the heart

  • I know...besides, if "we" were really being honest, "we" wouldn't be trying to make a warranty claim on something that is clearly outside of warranty coverage...
