Sent the camera to what I thought was Kodak on there advertisement sent to me for trade-in on the purchase of a new camera at a discounted price. (found out later I could have bought the same camera at K-mart for less). Camera was packaged at a UPS Store and shipped in perfect operating condition. Received a E-mail later from Dealtree later in the month stating the camera was broken , would not power up, would not focus (funny if it wouldn't power up how could they tell it wouldn't focus? Stated that it's worth was $0.00, no mention of returning camera was offered or stated. Ive sent out another E-mail to them again this morning, previous e-mails have gone unanswered. Kodak should be aware of this company , but I guess they just don't care. I've had dealings with this same company in the past that took 6months to resolve, and many threatening e-mails for refunds on rebates. Do not have anything to do with this company !!!!!

DealTree lived up to thier promise

In fairness to Dealtree,they gave me exactly what they quoted me before I sent in my camera.
I did exactly what they told me (pack the item well,remove lens etc),and I got my Best Buy card as promised.
I feel it doesnt take a lot of common sense to know power cables should be removed and packed seperatly as this would cause a weak spot that could be damaged.
Also,there is antistatic wrapping available,it's coloured pink I think.
The idea of trading in is good because it helps with the purchase pf new equipment.

your photos that you have on the place is a warehouse with a bunch of wannabe techs. all they do is a bunch of basic testing for example plug it up take a few pics such as you stated that you have found and thats about it. I used to work there and boy oh boy that place is a joke. also when they tested your cam they probebly put in a dead battery and instead of waiting an hour or 2 to charge it up and see if the cam will work. they are to lazy

Well UPS delivered the supposed junk camera this AM.
I immediately opened the package and proceeded to check the camera and it's accessories to be sure everything was returned.
Next I turned the camera switch on. No suprise it powered right up as it always did. next I told it to review photo's, well to my suprise there were 4 (four) pictures on what I sent was a empty memory SD card.. The technician? must have taken them when playing with the not working camera... I now have proof the Technician? in question was lying when the company told me in an e-mail it wouldn't power up and wouldn't focus. I now have a perfectly focused picture of the techs workbench and also a good photo of the inside of the storage area of what looks like a warehouse with many small boxes piled on the floor. The evidence speaks for itself this company is decieving their customers with outright lies and falsehoods. I just wish there was someway's to burn them good for it.
