Shopper conversation with Jess H. on August 14, 2016

Hi there! I see you were looking at the A6000? Great camera, what questions do you have on it?
Are you looking to upgrade? Or just getting started?
Hi, I'm looking to purchase this camera locally in SoCal, but a friend said he got one from you folks for $700, and it included two lenses, extra battery, memory card, no tax and free shipping. Was this a sale or special?
Jess H.
Hmm, let me check
That must have been a special sale or bundle,
currently the 2 lens bundle is $948
Actually I only need the one standard lens, extra battery and memory card. How much would that be?
Jess H.
sure, grabbing that!
The camera with the kit 16-50mm lens, plus a spare battery is $698
the memory card can be added separately, what size were you thinking for a card?
It's a gift for my grandson going off to college. Let me ask him. What's a typical starter size?
Jess H.
Ah, wonderful!
For doing video and still images, I'd suggest a 16 or 32 GB size.
let me grab the link to that here
We do have a two pack of 16GB cards for only $13.99
Nice! No tax and free shipping still apply?
Jess H.
We only charge tax to NY and NJ, so you're good there!
The free shipping is 7-10 day timeframe
Coincidentally he's leaving for NYU on the 22nd. Can he pick it up locally in New York?
Jess H.
Oh, definitely!
You can choose "pick up" as your shipping option right in checkout online
Definitely a nice bundle and a lovely gift
What other questions can I help with?
Ok, so your regular price includes the spare battery
Jess H.
Correct!
It comes with an extra charger and spare battery, as well as a LCD protector for the screen
I'm good. Thanks so much for all your help. And have a great rest of the weekend!
