Bought from Crutchfield: All is well, but should I worry anyway?
I\'ve been a loyal B&H shopper for a couple of years now. However, when it came time to order my new D700, the only places that had them in stock, low stock at that, were Amazon and Crutchfield. I was able to finance my purchase through Crutchfield with incredibly fast and free shipping. I ordered it last wednesday and it was in my hands on Friday (shipped on Thursday). It arrived well packed inside a ton of peanuts. All is working well and good and I am incredibly happy with the camera (I switched from an entire Canon set up to go Nikon.)
My only concern is this, I had some questions about my financing terms so I did some research and came across a fair amount of extremely negative reviews of Crutchfield as a company, their customer service, shipping, etc etc. I had a pleasant experience and had been recommended to them by a friend several times over the past couple years for odds and ends, though this was my first purchase from them.
Crutchfield, like Best Buy and Amazon, sells a myriad of product from home stereo to car stereo parts and speakers, cameras, GPS units, etc etc. Should I be at all worried that I purchased my almost $3,000 camera from a store like this instead of a SOLID B&H or Adorama? If anything WERE to go wrong with the camera physically or electronically, it would be going to Nikon for review/repair and not my retailer anyway.
Can any of you calm my nerves here? Admittedly, I worry about minute things that to any other person would not be an issue. (The pitfalls of acute anxiety and OCD.)
