You were once good, but... That the sales outlet provide the warranty is common practice in most parts of the world, including the EU and there is really no need to have outlet that cannibalizes on the local distributors market share. Nikon will sell cameras to Brazilian outlets that will provide warranty under Brazilian law, and Nikon will repair them.: "The company's other business segments, including customer service and technical assistance, will continue to operate normally in Brazil." https://nikonrumors.com/2017/11/06/n...-of-sales-oper ations-in-brazil.aspx/ So they close down their "company store"... Big deal! -- teleportation kills |

I don't know the details of what Nikon is doing in Brazil but I expect a major factor in whatever they are doing is the horrendous state of the economy and internal conditions within Brazil. See http://www.heritage.org/index/country/brazil "A political crisis that, along with declines in commodity prices, contributed to a sharp contraction of the economy has undermined consumer and investor confidence. Brazil’s fiscal condition has been severely compromised by a combination of high inflation, political paralysis, and widening budget deficits that have elevated the burden of public debt. The state’s interference in the economy has been heavy. The efficiency and overall quality of government services remain poor despite high government spending. Implementation of any reform program has proven difficult. Barriers to entrepreneurial activity include burdensome taxes, inefficient regulation, poor access to long-term financing, and a rigid labor market. The judicial system remains vulnerable to corruption. .... and look at the economic data for the last few years: https://www.focus-economics.com/countries/brazil -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
