How strict is B&H Photo on returns?

About 2 weeks ago, I purchased a Nikon D3300 DSLR camera from B&H Photo in NYC. The camera showed up on time and seems to be worth the money. My only concern is the fact that I'm already an experienced photographer and may want to upgrade.

I had it shipped to my house, and the store has a 30 day return policy. There's not a speck of dust or a mark on the camera or lens and it is essentially still brand new.

My only concern is the fact that the screen protector that came on the screen just for minimal protection while shipping was taken off and recycled by mistake. Everything else is still there including the warranty cards, manuals, and cords. They are still wrapped up and in bags.

Do you think that they will reject the return because I have taken the screen guard off for shipping and did not put it back on?

Any opinion helps.

If you're an "experienced photographer" (at the tender age of 17), why did you buy a camera which you already think you're probably going to upgrade? Why not just go for a higher level model? An "experienced photographer" would know that the D3300 is aimed somewhere between beginner and intermediate / enthusiast photographers.

Off topic I know, but I really hate these kids trying to sound like big shots. Drives me mental.

Anyway. If you mean the little bit of thin plastic that they put over the rear screen, I can't imagine that being a deal breaker for a return, although that's just instinct. I would imagine that those things cost about ten cents to manufacture. B and H would be able to tell you exactly. Then again, if you email them, you don't get to tell everyone that you're an "experienced photographer", do you…

B&H is a well-regarded supplier among professionals.

My only question is why you, as an "experienced" photographer bought a camera that your "experience" tells you will not serve your needs. Lucky for you, B&H is not likely to ask that question.

30 days is plenty of time for you to buy your "upgrade" first, and upon receiving it, take the screen protector off your NEW new camera and put that on the OLD new camera, (the D3300), and send it back.

Problem solved! Problem solved! We solved the problem, problem solved!

Naturally, as an "experienced photographer", money is not an issue so you can buy your "upgrade" before returning the D3300.

Why don't you call them and ask like anyone with a brain would. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/...ion=status

You can't be that "experienced" if you bought the wrong camera.
