  1. Placed an order in the amount of $718.00 on JetCameras.com
  2. Canon EOS M50 with EF-M15-45mm Lens
    Canon EF-M 55-200mm Lens
  3. Had a conversation with Alan from JetCameras.com regarding my order
  4. Call Log with Alan from JetCameras.com
    • He started the conversation by verifying my order
    • Then he tried selling me a "5-hour battery with charger and lens filters" for a total of $889 (an additional $170 for items I neither ordered nor wanted)
    • After I declined his upsell, he rambled on and slipped in that the camera did not come with a battery or battery charger. His website clearly states the camera kit is NEW:
      • Me: "I thought the camera came with a battery"
      • Alan: "Not at this price point"
    • Alan tried one more time with his upsell. I declined him again:
      • Me: "Just send me what I ordered"
      • Alan: "Ok. We have a 10 day return policy and will charge a 15% restocking fee if returned"
