The company's reputation is significantly marred by numerous customer complaints regarding deceptive sales practices and inadequate customer service. Many customers report being lured in by low prices, only to face upselling tactics and the delivery of grey-market products lacking proper warranties. Issues with returns and support further exacerbate dissatisfaction, with several customers experiencing delays and unresponsive service. While a few positive sentiments exist regarding product availability, the overwhelming trend indicates a lack of trust and serious concerns about the company's business ethics, suggesting potential improvements in transparency and customer engagement are urgently needed.

First time doing this but I really feel like more people should know about this site. I recently ordered a new lens that I have been wanting for a while. I got it for a pretty good discounted price but that wasn't what made me write this review. You can order things for cheap anywhere, but this site actually called me to make sure that I wasn't spending all that money in vain. The representative made sure my camera was compatible and even offered ways to ensure that the new lens I bought would be kept safe from the elements and normal wear and tear. I highly recommend this site, these people are extremely professional and care a lot about their customers.
Delivered product fast and as promised. Great product, and great service.
This company provides the worst customer service ever. Watch for their return policy. BIG SCAM.
I got a canon 5D from them and it was a fairly smooth process with the exception of them telling me that a number of dead pixels is normal in modern day DSLRs. I opened up a jpeg file and found a few pixels when blown up on photoshop that were not normal or hot as they are called and then asked them about a refund and they told me this was in the scope of normal. I then called canon who did verify this and said that all of their DSLRs might have a couple dead pixels but they could be mapped out. I don't notice them all on prints so I kept the camera. Good website and would order again.
Great prices on cameras and accessories - This site has some of the lowest prices I've found on cameras and accesssories. You must be warned though... they will call you back and try to sell you on optional gear that you don't need. If you can deal with that kind of sales technique its worth the hassle for the savings.
Abes of maine review - i bought my Panasonic FZ50 from them with relative ease, they offer good products and reasonable prices, the only thing i didnt particularly like about them is: them trying to sell me some extra accessories that weren't actually intended for use with that model camera. So if they offer you a product make sure you research it and make double certain the accessories offered is compatible with your equipment. Great shipping time with standard express and very helpful customer service.
Answer: I agree, They get an "F" RATING from the BBB! I couldn't believe what a scam they are running there. And the salespeople yell at you when asked a question. People beware. Shop elsewhere.
