Essentially the lens cover would not open and close all the way. I could get the camera to work by using my finger to open the cover. That's what I did when I went to New York. The Monday that I got back from my trip I took the camera to Best Buy. I'd bought it there and had gotten an extended warranty. I'd been told when I'd brought it in early that it would take 3-5 days to get it back.
That didn't turn out to be the case. Because the camera I had wasn't rapid return (at least I think that's what they called it), it was going to be sent out to get fixed. It would take 2-3 weeks for it to be repaired. I wasn't too happy about that. First off because when I'd bought the extended warranty they didn't mention that if the camera had a problem it would be fixed. They gave the very strong impression that if anything went wrong the camera would be replaced. The other thing was of course 2-3 weeks to fix the thing that's nuts.
Off the camera went. A few days after it was sent off I got an e-mail from the Geek Squad saying they'd received the camera and were working on repairing it. Then about a week later or so another e-mail saying still working on it and giving me a tracking number so I could follow the repair process.
Then along comes another e-mail from Geek Squad. It said:

One small little problem I didn't have the camera. I'd never been told it was fixed or to pick it up at the Best Buy where I left it. I checked the status of my repair. The service history said completed product has been picked up by the customer. I was not happy at all.
I called the Best Buy where'd I dropped it off. This is what I was told. By default a product is always shipped to the customers home address. I'd said I was never told that and if I had been I would not have had it sent to my home. I then had to ask who it was being shipped by. I found out it was UPS. I then had to ask for a shipping number. I then said to the guy why did I have to call you to find out this information. I should have been told about this. I said I was very disappointed with the service.
I did go to UPS' site and found out the camera should arrive on Tuesday. At least now I know to be on the look out for it. If I hadn't called I would have been completely in the dark about when it was going to show up.
In the comments section of the Geek Squad questionnaire this is what I said:
The fact that I received this survey first before I was told that camera had been fixed and was being sent to me speaks volumes. I should have been informed the camera was fixed by e-mail. I should have been informed what company was shipping the camera and what the tracking number was. I should have been informed when to expect the camera to arrive at my house. I should not have had to call the store and ask for the information.
Lousy, lousy, lousy customer service. Would not recommend Geek Squad to anyone!
I said I wanted someone from the Geek Squad to contact me. I left both my e-mail and phone number. It will be interesting to see if anyone bothers to call me back.
