This is just an example... For a couple weeks I tried to find my proof of purchase of my DA 50-200 I bought back in last August. I wanted to insure my photographic hardware (the part which can be insured which means, new or almost hardware) and did not found my ticket. :|
I bought that lens in the shop near mine. A rather small shop with 2nd hand but the boss in a Pentax fan ;) Anyway... I asked if he could provide me with a copy of the original proof of purchase. He said that if I did get one, it should be no problem. Unfortunately, he found that I bought the lens and did not ask for a propoer proof of purchase. Just had the the proof of payment (which doesn't mention the product) and that ticket was crap thermal paper -> You can't even read it anymore. Good luck for the insurance. He saved me: he offered me to make another proof of purchase.. dated today. Happy, I can insure my lens :-) ----> Next time... I should *always* ask for a proper proof of purchase mentioning both price and product name. Still I think a bigger shop, supermarket-like shop would probably refuse to do anything. It only makes me even more convinced that paying a bit more buying there is no loss at all. I wouldn't change shop. Happy. :) -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
