I can't find any information and am beginning to think I was dreaming. They have a discount available on purchases of 20 or more (10% off) but I don't know 19 other people who want one! "Dream it.

Apr 22, 2009 18:20 | #6 Hey folks, I'm going to have to scratch plans for the 20 person order. Paying an extra $12 to get the updated fastener-2 seems a little off to me. I'm not sure how their customer service is, but paying over 25% of the cost of the item to get the updated, critical connection piece just doesn't seem right. "Dream it. Plan it. Do it."

I can opt for the refund (which was $0.01 for the actual item....but, charged a rediculous $4.99 for shipping). However, if I ever need that ConnectR to improve my strap it would cost me $16.00 (not including that rediculous shipping price) MORE!!!

Apr 22, 2009 19:01 | #10 Reference from sneakerpimp here: https://photography-on-the.net …hp?p=7745839&postcount=10 the original [fastenr] design failed to stay put, was difficult to removed, caused damage to the bottom of my camera because of metal to plastic contact, had sharp edges that also caused damage to anything that came into contact including my hand. So basically we're in for $16 for the connectr-2 + $12 for the fastenr-2 + cost of the original strap (=$68 ) if we want something that has the bugs worked out? I hope you correct me if I'm wrong because that just doesn't seem right. "Dream it. Plan it. Do it."

Apr 22, 2009 19:30 | #12 That is very unfortunate. Poor customer service makes me hesitate in a big way, and makes me appreciate companies that have their act together that much more. "Dream it. Plan it. Do it."

You have to pay extra for the new Fasten-R? That's not right...
