To whom it may concern:@ Abes of Maine, what's a FACTORY FRESH IMPORT MODEL as stated on your website of your cameras description?
Oh wait I bought one of your FACTORY FRESH IMPORT MODELS from your company. Now when I was having issues, I called Nikon USA, they did not have my camera registered, which means, I was SOL if I need it fixed.
I guess that's why you push the extended warranty so hard.

I look closely at a few cameras on your website, the few I looked at said FACTORY FRESH IMPORT MODEL. I do remember when I bought my D610 from Adorama I received a US Warranty Card, but NOT FROM YOU! SO where do you buy your FACTORY FRESH IMPORT MODELS?

Well to help other Unsuspecting buyers I will paste what the definition is of IMPORT MODEL / GREY MARKET: from Google!
Import generally means grey market model without a USA warranty. It means the camera or lens did not come into the US via approved channels, but was probably shipped to another country where for some reason it failed to sell and then was sent via a non-approved distributor to the US. There's no way to know if it is even new unless you know and trust the retailer. Regardless, some manufactures will not warrant it in the US. Some won't service it even if you're willing to pay. If you're dealing with a less than honest retailer, you may not even get all the included accessories or owners manual.
Some grey market models come with what is called an International warranty. This means, if you need repair, you have to send it back to the country where it was originally designated or back to Japan.
Personally, I'd stay far away from grey market gear. IMO, a USA warranty is important, not to mention being able to get service after the warranty period.

So buyers beware, if you want a Nikon US Warranty buy from an authorized Nikon Dealer pay the extra for peace of mind
