Hi Folks

I've bought a stone cold mint, but used GR iv, with a couple of accessories (GC-11 & BJ-12). Box arrived today, but the plastic hot shoe cover is missing; so the gloss is a little tarnished, so to speak.
I'm an uber fussy person so it matters. The advert from MBP didn't say anything was missing. And I get its a minor think but its missing

I've dropped MBP an email querying this omission, and likely not to get a response until Monday now

I can not see that I can buy genuine flash shoe covers online only an expensive Rioch metal cover
What should I do, any thoughts before MBP respond with their solution

Thanks in advance
 
Its a problem when you devote 20% of your anxiety to a tiny problem like this. Its a highly flawed world, you need to harness your imagination to complete the circle in your mind and stop caring about trivial matters and go out and photograph. You are a lot more resilient than you want to realize.
 
I agree with what is said by Rollo. But, if you are looking for a nice (Spare-) Hotshoe-Cover, look on Etsy. There you can find some, that are made in metal, which I find nicer, than the original Plastik-Version.
