Tex-ArozziNikon's insane policy of punishing cross border purchases is really dumb. I lived outside the US for a bit, bought a lens while living there, and when it had an electrical glitch, Nikon refused to fix it, and refused parts to a third party repair shop (that they themselves use when they have service demand overflows). Had to ship it back to Singapore to the shop where I bought it for Nikon Singapore to repair it. So even though you may stand behind it, even have a repair shop lined up, it's not clear that Nikon will supply parts for the repair. Dumb. What part of "global economy" do they not understand? All of it.

This typically coincides with the disadvantage of gray market items - warranty support, which normal imports would lack. But we stand behind the products sold on Massdrop, and will provide the same one-year warranty on any camera you see listed in a drop.
Hopefully that helps clear up some of the confusion about the drop! If members strongly prefer US products that's a viable option as well, but keep in mind pricing may be less advantageous if that is the case.
