Well, my Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 BOX, BAG, and Manual arrived today. Was missing it's warranty card.
Biggest kicker was a Tamron 15-30 lens was inside the Nikon bag. And it was clearly a used Tamron 15-30 lens. I suspect someone bought the Tamron, probably grey market. Then bought the Nikon 14-24 and returned the Nikon box with the tamron inside it. Then got the full Nikon refund. Thus saving about $800 and keeping the Nikon lens. I would wager the Tamron is even a grey market one.
What get's me is Amazon fully knowing it was a returned item. Sent it to me as a new item. And they clearly saw a lens inside and just accepted the return. Then sent it on to me!
Amazon is sending me another one by Wed. I am going to UPS now to send back the Tamkon lens.
