I'm not sure how Adorama's customer service is rated so high. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
I was very excited to find an FA 50mm f/1.7 for about $120 on Adorama the other day (see the image here:
Used Pentax 50/1.7 Smcp Lens *49mm). SUPER excitedly, I unwrapped my package to find an A 50mm f/1.7. I thought, "Adorama has good customer service; they'll correct this." Called them up, was misunderstood by the cs rep., and was sent an email about my "damaged" item. I try again the next day, same run-around. Him: "Just send it back to us and get a refund." Me: "I don't want a refund. I want the lens I ordered. My order should be filled as it was placed." Him: "Okay. I understand. I'm sending you instructions to send it in, and you can pay the difference when you buy the new lens." Frustrated, I tell him Adorama needs to fill my order and fix their mistake. "We can't do that." I thank him for his time and hang up.
Am I expecting too much?
