p.1 #1 · Nikon Service - Melville

Occasionally I’ll read a horror story here about Nikon Service. Here’s a good one, which I don’t see often.

My carry around 24-70 gets a lot of use; rain, snow, salt-water spray and yes, a few grains of sand. After four years the focus and zoom gradually lost the smooth action and they were starting to grind (ouch) a little. Sent the lens to Melville. They received it on the 24th and it was delivered back on the 30th. Required a “B2” service (whatever that is). Nikon replaced numerous rings, roller guides, seals, cleaned and recalibrated. Not just rubber rings, but the metal filter and rear mounting rings. I was expecting a bill since it was really normal wear and tear and not due to any defect. Pleasantly surprised at the “No Charge”.

Always good to hear positive things. It seems all you hear about on forums is when things go wrong.

Yawn. Let's hear more horror stories and about how CPS is better!!!

Totally kidding. This makes me feel a little better about Nikon, especially after all the bad stuff you hear.

Cool to hear.

I for one have never had any problems with Nikon service. I'm not a NPS member and have always got my items back quick and fixed.

That is great! I bet there are 100s of great customer service experience with Nikon that never get told, but the bad ones are the ones that get posted.

i have a 85mm 2.8d pc lens that needs repair . i sent it to APS first thinking it will be better and cheaper - was quoted $1000 for a repair and my jaw dropped.
i then shipped it to nikon melville with my fingers crossed - and its better there where they repaired it for $220 bucks . turnaround time is 31/2 weeks though .
