+I've been pleasantly astounded by the quality of [Fujifilm's Service Centre](https://repairs.fujifilm.eu/en/fujifilm-repair-centre/?zr=uk) here in the UK. Honestly, it's likely to keep me using Fujifilm cameras at least until they change it.
+
+I noticed a week back that my [X-T30](https://fujifilm-x.com/global/products/cameras/x-t30-ii/) wasn't turning on. I'm planning a trip, and this camera is 2 years old and out of warranty, so I knew I needed to suck it up and prepare for an expensive repair.
+
+[The pricing](https://repairs.fujifilm.eu/en/pricing/?prodgroup=2) is a little confusing without context, and you can't get much more information until you [register](https://repairs.fujifilm.eu/en/fujifilm-repair-centre/?zr=uk), but after a phonecall I was impressed — and even more so now I have a repaired camera in my hands, not 6 working days later.
+
+Mostly this is because the stated price (£130 for an X-T30) covers _everything_. Postage (and packaging) in both directions, a renewed 1 year waranty, and _any and every problem you specify, or that they notice, repaired_. All with a stated round-trip time of 5-10 days (even faster if you want to spend an extra £10).
+
+I mentioned to them that my camera wouldn't turn on, and also that I'd foolishly managed to burn some of the overlay into the electronic viewfinder by leaving it on while in webcam mode. Both of which they've fixed, but they also seem to have replaced the back LCD which only had a few small scratches.
+
+Now, £130 isn't cheap by any stretch, and I'm sure this would be annoying if I had a minor/cheap repair to do, but I'm really appreciating the knowledge that if anything goes wrong with this camera there is a ceiling on what the repair will cost, and that the quality of the service is so high.
+
+Fujifilm, you've made a happy customer a loyal one. Good work!

 I've long admired and played with [postcards](/tags/postcards). For me there's an art to every aspect of creating and sending them — designing, choosing, writing, drawing, doodling, stamping — each of which could stand books' worth of elaboration.
 
-Art is, in my humble opinion, at its greatest when limitlessly exploring a limited space, and a postcard provides plenty of just this kind of freeing limitation. They can be heartfelt and genuine precisely _because_ they don't immediately invite a reply (unlike practically all other interpersonal communication), they invite novelty (like Mr. Bingo's hilarious [Hate Mail](https://mr.bingo/hate-mail-book/), or Lupi & Posavec's beautiful [Dear Data](http://www.dear-data.com/theproject)) _because_ they are so simple and (literally!) inflexible.
