So in response to the comment that the lens has a serial number on it, which lens will have a serial number on it? Is it only the NEW lenses that have serial numbers?
You asked how you would know if they just sent you back the same lens with different paperwork. That is why I answered serial number. If it was reconditioned by nikon then you could email them or call service and support with the serial number to see if it was a refurb.
How to tell if a camera or lense was made in China when searching and buying online.
I am currently living in Germany looking to buy a new lense for my D60 camera. I saw two lenses in a store, one was made in China and the other in Thailand. The one made in Thailand felt and looked better. Also, can I order from this site to be sent to Germany or do you have a site similar to this for Germany?

Nikon operates factories all across the globe and each operate to the same high standard. While individual cameras are marked with their country of manufacture we can't make a blanket statement about which camera is produced where.
Is there any way to tell if a lens is refurbished or new?
The reason I ask this question is that I recently ordered a 'new' lens from a company. Upon receiving my order, which came 'white-boxed', the lens had a 'Nikon Refurbished' 90-day warranty sheet around it. The ad for the lens clearly stated that Condition: NEW. After contacting the seller, I received a phone call this AM, stating that they were sending a UPS return label, processing a replacement lens (NEW), stated it would also come in a white box - but with a warranty card. How do I know they just did not send me the same lens, except with a warranty card?
