Question about Nikon warranty transfer between owners

Honestly, do you think you're going to get an unambiguous answer from the Tier 1 person answering the phone?

Specifically, if you asked them about the gift scenario.

Now, it's clear looking through various posts on various forums that Nikon has done warranty work under such conditions as long as they have some sort of original purchase document.

But getting Nikon to be clear and unambiguous about this has been an issue for well over a decade.

It's just one of those really annoying things about the company. For very little time and money, they could improve customer service dramatically: Clear policy statements, cut the crap about impact damage, clean up their gray market policies (even if they don't do warranty work, but will fix imported stuff for their typical outlandish prices), better Tier 1 and Tier 2 support and getting out of the software business entirely.

Oh, and bring out that D400 while I'm having a rant about it all.
