bman940, no, I haven't checked the Nikon's No Fault Policy, but I suppose I had to. I just got that info about lifetime warranty from the person I thought knows it for sure. I'm glad that's not true and will consider buying Nikon binos for myself)

There is a ole' axiom; "someone who has a bad experience tells 10 people, those who had a good experience tells one person".
Whenever I look at reviews I always disregard the great ones and look at the bad ones - More often the bad ones have unrealistic expectations.
When a vast majority think the product / service is good, perhaps the complainer should look in the mirror........................
A $10 car wash is just that; not a detail job !!!

Thank you, Ray! I do not do any sales for Nikon but I do try to get the right information out to you guy's when I notice a misunderstanding or mistake. Drop me a note if I can answer any question's for you about Nikon's Bino's. I just finished the last of my 3 big hunts this year, OK,TX and KS. Needless to say I did a lot of glassing. This year I used MONARCH 5 10x42's (which just happen to be $50 off right now) mainly because a buddy borrowed my MONARCH 7's and doesn't seem interested in returning them! Great low light bino's and made for all day glassing.

Well after a lot of back and forth ,emails,phone calls between Nikon and myself , returning the ones they sent me and waiting for a different set to arrive I think I have a set that settles this matter. It was like pulling teeth to get there but I consider this a dead issue.
Will it change my mind about ever purchasing Nikon again? Highly doubtful!!! But they finally made this issue right so it's a dead issue now.

Ok some of you may know I have been a loyal supporter of Nikon products for years.
NO MORE.
Sent back a pair of Binoculars for warranty repair. Granted these are 20 year old Binoculars and this is the second time they have been back for service over the past twenty years.
After 3 months of back and forth I get a email saying they cannot get parts and they are replacing them with a new pair. I think great I am getting a new pair of binoculars for my 20 year old binoculars.
Here is where the story gets bad. The Binos they are sending will not carry the lifetime warranty. They will only carry a 6 month warranty.
So Nikon is essentially shutting down their Optics warranty after 20 years or so and getting out from under their lifetime warranty.
No more Nikon products for me. Leupold all the way.

When a company puts a lifetime warranty on a product..advertises on TV binos dropping off tailgates and falling off cliffs and they are covered under a lifetime warranty...YES!!! I expect that company to uphold their commitment to the customer and do exactly as they advertise.
Easy enough to understand??
