I recently sent in a Canon 40D with 28-135mm lens in the original Canon packaging for Gazelle to buy.  It was received within a few days and sat waiting for inspection for days.  FINALLY when it was inspected, magically, the Lens disappeared and the item description of what I sent in was changed to "body only".  When pressed for more information, all the customer service reps simply stated the lens wasn't there..    The lack of a phone number to talk to a human being leads to useless customer support, because they have no obligation of emotions through chat".  Once I requested my Camera be shipped back to me, it arrived in a generic box with packing material, absent from my original Canon packaging, and of course, absent the Lens they Lost/Stole/.   When asked why there was no mention of throwing away orignal packing in their policies, I got the following response - 

"[Lilith#001] I'm really sorry about that?. We don't keep the boxes-- they are recycled as soon as they arrive, unless it's a computer'. 

[Josh Black] shouldn't that be in your policies somewhere?

[Lilith#001] Probably, but we get so few original boxes, that it just didn't make it into the top "must add to site" list!. I'm sorry'. "

I find it hard to believe they do not get that many original boxes, I find it easy to believe that she, along with all the other "customer care" reps just did not care!.   And I have all the chat transcripts to prove it:.  

Food for thought, and I hope you take it into consideration. Gazelle.com certainly screwed me!! 1281900
