I just received a package of expensive California Sunbounce diffusers, scrims, boomstick, etc from Adorama--box was smashed, no padding, and open on both ends. Totally inadequate shipping protection--I do not blame UPS at all for this.
New, expensive Nikon lens has a defect. It's under warranty, thankfully. I am going to be without the lens for several weeks and down about $15 in shipping. Go Nikon.
