Warranty covers the item against a defect in manufacture and workmanship ..a fire is in no way covered.

Once the insurance companies sort it out, they technically own the inventory (they paid for it). They sometimes sell it back to the company or they sometimes sell it thru a liquidator to try and get some of their money back.

I ordered a 200 f2.8L from B&H the morning of the day of the fire.
Hopefully this lens is stocked in store.

I must say I have immpecable timing LOL

Hey bro, I think my sympathy dropped off a little when you wrote "before I leave for CUBA".

My shipment too is on it's way, a replacement for a defective item I shipped back to them, I hope it's not lost in the fire. I have not been credited for it yet........

When I saw the news report, I took a trip over there. I dont live far from it. But the police wouldnt let me get too close.

This is not cool, but then my next stop is www.adorama.com

I don't know what they're going to do with it...I wish I was one of those firemen though. I'm going to go rumage in the dumpster out back...be back in a while.

It may not be a problem. Go ahead and call. Their Manhatten location takes up a whole city block and they also have other shipping locations around NY. This was just one wharehouse that burnt.

Wow, that sucks.

My package got out just in time...left early this morning according to UPS. When I saw this thread I was worried!

Good to read there are few injuries though.

i just got my shipment from them today!

I'm just glad it wasn't the Manhatten store that went.
02/24/2005 08:21:34 PM · #20
*sigh* I'm so glad I ordered through Adorama. :-)

Really, that's a shame. Lots of lost inventory, I'm sure. :-/

Wow, Snow!

Oh dear! that's a tough one to hear. glad to hear there are few injuries at least. With that weather, the fire fighters have to fight the fire and the elements.

That sucks, bigtime.

Brings back sad memories of Samy's in LA after the Rodney King Riots.
