However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding customer service, including unresponsive support, misleading information about product availability, and difficulties with returns and refunds. Many customers reported feeling frustrated with the lack of effective communication and resolution to their issues, leading to a perception of unprofessionalism. Overall, while the company offers appealing products, its customer service approach appears to be a critical area needing improvement to enhance customer satisfaction.

Love my used lens
May 22, 2020

Bought the used Zeiss 100mm f/2, it is fantastic! Tack sharp! I was able to get a superior quality lens that I would never have been able to afford new. I couldn't be happier!

Adorama was able to deliver my FX 100-400 mm lens quickly by shipping backordered accessories separately. This was greatly appreciated I love being able use the lens and don't mind waiting for the filters.

I was pleased to work with this company and will do business with them in the future. I appreciated the extra security step the company took before my purchase was accepted.

Good buy

I like that you partnered with AMEX which provides me good benefit to receive credit, which lowers the cost from all the other retailers. Thank you.

Love it!
May 16, 2020

These guys are AWESOME! Finally, another great online supplier found out how to be better than Amazon, by treating customers, not like just another number, but rather, people with good taste, different approaches, and great awesome products, available and ready for delivery. Whereas with Amazon, you feel like you are just another uneducated consumer, just looking to be fooled by gimmick pictures and Chinese products with No value added at ALL.

Arrived quickly
May 16, 2020

The Casio PX160 bundle arrived quickly. The box the stand in was ripped, but everything was in perfect condition. The piano works great and the price was the lowest I could find.

Fast shipping, good prices, excellent packaging. What more can you ask for?

Also they provide advanced support on the product (a Fuji camera for 90 days so that's Great for those who might need it).

Great experience
May 15, 2020

I'm new to photography, and wanted to add some lenses to the basic kit I recently purchased, but I wasn't sure which lenses would be good for me to buy now, not terribly expensive, and useful for a long time. I chatted with Stephanie, who was incredibly helpful (& very patient with my ignorance!) She made several recommendations for lenses to add to my kit as I can afford them and after doing my research, I purchased the first lens (bundle) along with a tripod for a good price compared to other vendors. Delivery during covid-19 is of course a challenge, but everything arrived in good shape in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Adorama and look forward to working with them for all my camera and photography needs.

I have started using Adorama mostly due to their return policies and they use UPS instead of FEDEX.
They usually have items I want in stock. I like their VIP program. Have saved money on shipping and with earned points.

Excellent Product
May 14, 2020

Very happy with my on-line purchase. Needed some photo albums to go old school as I found boxes of family photos when going through my dad's storage unit - too many to scan, so I was pleased to be able to find a photo album with enough pages to store my family's photos.

AWESOME PRODUCT
May 11, 2020

Took a couple days to ship but understandable considering the covid-19 lockdowns. Once it shipped it was here super fast and customer service was great in answering my questions.
