I do not think so. What OP has faced is a legal import from a Hong Kong wholesaler. They buy in bulk at half the price and then sell them without any warranty. In most cases the camera and lens will be genuine Nikon, but batteries, strap, even lens cap will be locally procured. So will the box and packaging. We have similar retailers who sell through e-commerce only and they have their depots in Hong Kong and UK. The prices are generally half that of official retail price.Nothing wrong with the product as long as it works (usually comes with 15 days money back guaranty only), but if there is any problem, you are stuck.</blockquote>
