That's a valid point. For the sake of disclosure, we'll mention it. However, no, she didn't play a role in getting me my reimbursement. Ah… lawyers.

I'm pleased Amazon was so good about handling your request for a refund, though. I've been put off buying things from some of Amazon's storefronts for less-reputable sellers, precisely for this reason. (And some horror stories about damaged goods being delivered). It sounds like if you order something from Amazon, no matter who actually ends up selling you the item and shipping it, Amazon stands behind their guarantee? Will they step in and refund your money if you get shipped damaged goods and the seller refuses to collect or ship a new item to you?... PS: A lot of the cheap camera stores online use this exact strategy. Offer cameras for sale at a great price, only to say they're out of stock and then bump you up to a more expensive model. Or they try to strongarm you into buying a lot of expensive extras... Ah well, caveat emptor! Hmm, this does sound a lot like a bait-n-switch scam.
