man i had to send my 1ds mark III in twice for to have the light box degreased and sensor cleaned.

and that UPS label that was supposed to be e-mailed to me in two days or less .....? well it never came so i had to call yet again to get the label.

okay that's old news...

now i'm trying to send my 1d mark III in for the final fix....and guess what?

no UPS label and when i call canon the guy who sounded like an inhabitant of uranus argued with me and says that even tho the label is late it is coming.

it's like deja vu all over again....i just know the label isn't coming because i know UPS was taken over by alien morons many years ago and my last couple of experiences with canon service leads me to believe that they've been infiltrated too :D.

Canon pays for UPS lables to ship to them.....damn, I just spent $50 shipping my 40D to them (along with my 10-22) I can say however, the camera came back to me in 3 days.

I guess they pay for your shipping if your items that needed services are within warrenty.

they pay for shipping for 1d bodies because they sold a bunch of them that were defective.

but getting the "free" mailing labels is a different story.

Has Canon service been hijacked by alien morons? No, it has not. Trust me on this. They're all nice home-grown terrestrial morons.

The "Final Fix"...? Is there one I missed or was the off-center AF point accuracy fix the last one (not counting the grease spots on the mirror fix)
