A company like Jessops or Amazon are just not going to have the resources to have employees check all their stock that 'may' be faulty or have an issue. Far easier to sell the product and then deal with it later if the customer complains. This is what happens in every other line of business.

I think AG did the right thing, and $500 was a reasonable amount he might actually end up getting paid. Sticking 2 fingers up by asking for a ridiculous fee is all very well, but personally I'd rather get paid.
I love the original emai, how it starts of in a personal friendly manner & then goes into their terms etc. Emails like this should just be deleted upon opening...

Companies like this are relying on flattery to get their requirements met for free.
I suppose it is almost impossible to measure the extent to which this sort of thing occurs.
As a fully paid up member of the International Association of Cynics I suspect it is widespread.
photographers for exploitation wanted

Wow is this thing heavy, definitely going to have to do some weightlifting or get a monopod.
Have had a quick go in the garden & its looking like a keeper. Will know better after this weekend, shooting Leeds Festival & looks like 30 seconds to Mars are going to be a crowd shoot, so a perfect opportunity to try it out.
Will let you know how I get on...
