I purchased a FUJIFILM Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic Instant Film Camera on ******. It broke, so I called Fuji to see what to do. After telling them where I bought it they said it should be covered under warranty. I sent it back to ****, following their procedures for warranty repairs. After receiving the camera, **** sent me a bill for $52.75, saying that the warranty does not apply because I did not purchase it from an authorized retailer. The Fuji warranty is linked in the item description on ******. I would like them to honor the warranty and repair the camera.Business Response
Date: 10/18/2024
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I apologize for the inconvenience the customer is experiencing with their Instax camera.
After reviewing the warranty provided, I noted that the third line specifies that coverage is applicable only for purchases made through an Authorized Dealer. The sales slip indicates that the camera was purchased from Caddy Chest, an unauthorized dealer selling on ******. Unfortunately, this is the reason for the charge, and it must remain in place.
As a gesture of goodwill, along with the approved repair, I would like to offer the customer four packs of film at no cost, which is valued at $59.
Thank you for your understanding.Initial Complaint

DISTRESS CALL! I need some white glove service and follow-*** from ****? Ive just spent $8,000 dollars on GFX gear and after two exchanges on a backup GFX 50II and manufacturing defects and quality control issues with both, Im introspecting on the confidence I placed in Fujifilm Medium Format!? The last order I placed with ******* and I tired of waiting for long return processes. I need to know why ** playing the waiting game on being forced to do two returns now? My time has been wasted and my project prolonged. This is hard earned money and time being wasted!Business Response
Date: 06/24/2024
I regret the inconvenience the customer is facing with their GFX camera. I recommend sending the camera to our service department in ******, ** for assessment under the one-year limited warranty. It's worth noting that we do not oversee sales or return matters as we are the Service Dept. They can call ************* and speak to the sales *****Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:This is a FUJIFILM PROBLEM! Two weeks of my life have been wasted and my photography project has been seriously prolonged BECAUSE Fujifilm has FAILED to furnish equipment that was suitable for the ASKING PRICE of the gear that you guys have spent a fortune on developing and offering the photography industry but the shoddy manufacturing and loose tolerances are backfiring on Fujifilm right now and as an artist who loves FUJIFILM, I am rejecting this canned corporate response. I hold you guys in higher esteem than this sort of nonsense. You guys say you do not deal with the return and exchange process but whether youre the service department or the CEOs Office of Fujifilm; all of it is FUJIFILM! This is not an Amazon issue NOR is a an Adoroma issue! This is a FUJIFILM QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE and you guys are cutting corners. As a result of this, my time is being professionally wasted on two returns with the second one having serious manufacturing defects because the products Adoroma furnished were seriously defective OUT OF BOX in which the manufacturing was unacceptable.

I regret to learn that the customer remains dissatisfied with the provided resolution. They are presented with two options: either engage directly with the dealer from whom they acquired the camera or opt to utilize the 1-year limited warranty enclosed in their package by sending the product to the service department in ******, **. Additionally, I recommend that they maintain an active presence on our social media platforms, as these channels are closely monitored.Initial Complaint

Fujifilm has release their new x100vi limited edition which requires lottery before customer can buy this product. I win this lottery but the website won't allow me to place the order. It said unable to process order and asked me to contact service team. I contact service team multiple times but they said it's due to credit card decline and haven't provide any useful way to resolve this issue. My credit card did decline the transaction once but I approved it, and in the past few days I have tried to re-submit the order again and try with different card. The order still fail to complete even with card that haven't decline the transaction, I could see the transactions are pending in my credit card statement so it's not the issue from my end.Given the limited edition have a short period of sell window I need Fujifilm to inspect their payment system and fix the issue for me otherwise they are cheating on the lottery of x100vi limited edition sale in ** region.Business Response

I have a camera that should be covered under the one-year warranty. After contacting Fujifilm I was then sent on a wild goose chase trying to find a way to have them simply send me a new battery cover that was broken within a month or two after purchase. I filled out their warranty form and all the proof they needed to take care of me with no response after many calls and hours on the phone I was told they would take care of it and then I wouldn't hear anything. Every attempt to speak to a manager was met with heavy resistance then finally after a few times of being transferred to the manager the line would go straight to voicemail. This is typical tactics to avoid helping a customer.Business Response

The camera was purchased in 12/23, so between then and recently, the battery door was fine. From the images I can see, it looks like the battery tabs were snapped off, and that can only be done by the customer. Without seeing the battery door and evaluating it, I cannot no be 100% sure. The battery door would need to be sent in so we can have it looked at by our techs. If they feel at that time, it can be covered under warranty, they will approve a replacement be sent out no charge. If they deem it to be customer error, then the customer will have to purchase a new cover.
Please send the part to the address below and please make sure it can be traced. If there is no proof of delivery from a Fujifilm employee, it will not be replaced if it is lost or not delivered. Fujifilm does not pay for shipping in on any repairs.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Fujifilm USA concerning the unjustified cancellation of my order and the lack of proper communication from their customer service.On April 18, 2024, I placed an order (#*********) for a Fujifilm X-S10 camera with XF18-55mm lens, black (SKU: ********). The terms on Fujifilms website promised shipment within 2-4 business days. After this period elapsed without any update, I contacted their customer service for clarification. Despite my clear need for the camera before my prolonged travel outside the U.S., which I communicated in my email dated April 24, I received a response from a representative named ***** stating that my order could not be processed at that time. ***** suggested purchasing the product in person from local dealers, an alternative that was not feasible given my specific requirements and upcoming travel.Subsequently, without any notification via email or phone, and without my consent, I discovered that my order had been canceled as reflected in the status update on Fujifilms website. This cancellation has occurred without any explanation or adequate communication, exacerbating my inconvenience and disrupting my travel preparations.This lack of communication and abrupt cancellation not only violates the sale agreement but also indicates a failure in maintaining customer service standards. Therefore, I seek BBBs assistance to resolve this matter promptly. My preferred resolution is for Fujifilm to reinstate my order and expedite the shipment immediately to meet the original delivery timeline, ensuring I receive the camera before my departure.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in facilitating a prompt and fair resolution from Fujifilm.Sincerely,******* **** ************Business Response

Thank you for the inquiry about this order. Fujifilm has the right to cancel any order at any time, and due to security reasons, our system red flagged the email address. All money was refunded back to the customer.

I bought a disposable, black-and-white camera from my local photography store to take some engagement pictures with. The camera was dropped off at a ********* to be developed. ********* sources their film development through fuji film. Several weeks went by and ********* had not recived the photos back, we contacted fuji film via email, they said the photos had been processed. A few days later ********* had the photos, about 5-6 weeks from initial drop off. We had ordered a double set of photos for a 27 picture camera, for a total of 54 printed pictures, and the included cd. The package contained the 18 printed pictures, all appearing to be double prints, and the film negetives. The photos showed no contrast and when taken to the local film lab, we were advised the film had been overexposed. Fuji film was firm they were not at fault and said if anything was wrong with the photos we would have been notified. The camera was brand new and used the same day it was opened. They did not disclose any quality control methods. Just a brick wall of "if you don't like it you screwed up the camera." I would like them to, at the least, to replace the disposable camera which they ruined my engagement photo film for, which can be purchased for $27.00.Business Response

I received a reply from the dep. that handles this and they said they have reached out to the customer already. Here is their reply:
This order was received by us on 8/22/2022, processed by ******* and shipped back to the store on 9/12/2022. Ive spoken with the customer River White. His fianc sent us an email inquiring on the film (attached), and he called after receiving the film to express his disappointment in receiving damaged film and no usable prints. The customer received a refund from the store for the order and was agitated with the Fuji representative after she suggested to him that condensation may have played a part in the film being ruined after he stated that the local shop where he bought it kept it refrigerated. I asked if he could send me images of the prints that he received and he stated he had already sent them along with his BBB complaint. I apologized for his experience and offered him an otuc, a roll of B&W film, or a ********* gift card and a small gift item. He chose the otuc as he said hed like to try to create some of those photos using it and hed send me a digital copy from his CD to use for a mug. Weve shipped him two otucs with ***** tracking number **** **** *****

On 5/21/2022 I made a purchase directly from FujiFilm website. Just a short time later I realized that the item would not work for me. According to the Fujifilm website, I had up to 24 hours to cancel my order. I followed the directions to do so and found that the website was not allowing me to do this, and was not showing the option to do this. I attempted to call customer support but was disconnected after a recording that said no one is available to help. I have contacted their customer support 2 times now and only receive an automated response that does not help me solve the issue.The item I ordered is still 100% unopened, and I didn't want it to be shipped to me in the first place. The website said I had the right to cancel the order, but would not allow it. I just want to send the product back.I would not resort to contacting the BBB for this matter if they would just respond and offer assistance.Business Response

I have reached out to the customer on how they can return the product. I will work with them until the process is accepted.
