Nikon Warranty, not what it used to be, kinda disappointing.

This is a "goodbye" post to Nikon, its been a looong relationship, but sadly your backing of product has changed. My Nikon Monarch 5 binoculars eye piece came off again, its a design flaw and Nikon know of this - so does pretty much any Nikon Binno user that actually uses his binno's regularly. It use to be, call it in, send it in and it was returned fixed. Now ? R270 to inspect R219 to repair and that's after fighting. So R600 to repair an item under warranty. Not the way it used to be. Ok ! - to be fair I did loose the slip but its still a Nikon product whether I have the slip or not ? I have the box it came in, I have the warranty slip and serial number on it, when is it not a Nikon product anymore - when you loose the slip ? Anycase Burris, Lynx and Vortex have not yet ever done anything less than "sorry" and fix the problem. I think I speak from a good stand point, I have about 16 binno's and scopes in total. All I want is a not try get out of it warranty if something should go wrong - stand behind your product, its not a wear and tear item, it should last for almost ever. Oh ! and get rid of those stupid idea ***** in ***** out eyepieces, they break, they a bad idea.

Technician Lorence, thanks for everything, you are an asset to your company and were a pleasure to deal with.

Bye bye Nikon, was good while it lasted.
