… body and lens does not come with U.S. warranty registration card. Is there a quick way to check that with online?
You just answered your own Question: … the body and the lens did not come with U.S. warranty card registration. All original products from Nikon USA come with a warranty card. You have Nikon to provide warranty service for the camera. The serial number of U.S. models begins with a 3. In addition Nikon USA is offering a guarantee additional 4 year extended free on all your lenses, but you must register within 10 days of purchase. The card comes with extended warranty original warranty card. This lens has a registration card with the original warranty lens serial number printed on it. (dot-matrix computer generated). The camera has a guarantee reg card series – only the warranty card has to send the camera to Nikon for a warranty repair. Unless Have a very good deal – you may want to return and purchase a U.S. dealer. Nikon USA It is known that can provide services in cameras made for other markets … may have to make a good story – like buying it while on vacation in Taiwan, etc.
