Amazon .... cameras ....

Need some advice please (again!). Ordered and received a Canon camera from Amazon. Something tells me that it's already been out of it's box ... no security seal (should there be one), all the bits and pieces aren't really tightly packaged in and the tab on the outside of the box was popped open when I took it out of the amazon delivery packaging. Maybe it's my overactive imagination ....

So what do I do? Call them (or rather, get them to call me on their callback service) - will they be able to tell by my order no if it's something which has already been despatched and returned?, turn a blind eye and hope for the best? Don't want to get to Christmas and find it doesn't work.

Any suggestions? The very thought of organising to send it back etc makes me shiver and I do want it available under the tree on Christmas morning. TIA

Must go and have another look at it now!

Call them and see if they can get you another in time for xmas and take it from there.

Have had another good look at it ... think it's okay. Most of the leads seem to be sealed in their packages but it's just the UK power lead is very badly packed - the wire tab isn't tight and it looks like it's just been chucked in. However, given that the manual is in it's shrink-wrapped packaging and the other packets are sealed, I'm happy enough with it. False alarm then but thanks for the advice anyway

Could it be that the UK adaptor was put in to replace say a US one?

I had my Ixus from Amazon gift wrapped so I won't be able to check it. If it turns up...

Think it must be something like that ... there's a European lead in the box too and it's packaged much more compactly so as you say it looks like the UK one has been added in at a later date.

Hope yours appears tomorrow ... I'd 2 other Amazon parcels delivered yesterday - despatched last Tuesday and am still waiting for one or two. Hard to keep up at this time of the year!
