"I ordered the camera, they billed it for $998 and never shipped it. Their customer service hangs up on me every time I call int to get a refund."
"I ordered a canon camera and then they called and said it did not have a battery with it and the battery was $80 which made this camera much more expensive than I could get it for at other, more reliable, camera stores. This is a scam. I canceled the order. Be sure of what you are ordering and what you will be sent."
"My order was cancelled because it was stuck in customs, I have been told I would get a certified check refund no later than Dec. 2. This has not happened. Today I was told that a refund was done on my credit card. Checked that, not true. Called back and they tried to transfer me to someone who could help. Was cut off. Called Customer Service again was transferred to another who cut me off. Will try again tomorrow. "
"Don't do any business with them. After I placed an order 2 months ago, I never received the item. Their service number generally has 30 minutes wait. Their representatives have very bad attitude toward customers."
"Ordered a week ago. Just received a call verifying the order. I confirmed, then was informed that I had ordered the camera only: no battery, charger, or accessories.
You can't advertise a "new" product, then remove it from the box and ship just a part of it! The website made no mention that it was an open box, made no mention of it not having all the parts required to work, and made no mention that there was an extra "retail kit" you have to buy with it to make it work. Terrible false advertising.
In addition, the guy who made his website and "know[s] what it says" was extremely condescending and rude.
I know not to do business with such an unethical company, and you shouldn't either."
"we ordered Canon T3i camera from them last week. I was planning on taking it on vacation and needed it fast. i called in and asked to ship it asap for me and guess what - they upgraded me to expedited shipping for free. I love it so much now, i even take it to the office just in case i see something worth posting online."
"this is a scam website. collecting people's information by attractive prices on their website, but they have never anything availlable for fishy prices in their stock. FRAUD SCAM!!!"
"I'm satisfied with the good competitive price, the service in upgrading my order to a more complete "package" of necessaries, and the quick delivery. I'm thrilled with the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 camera itself and its outstanding lens and capabilities. I took a frame-filling picture of the full moon the other night, hand held at 600 mm equivalent, 100 ISO, f-2.8. 1/2000 second that looked like it was done with an astronomical telescope on a giant tripod, this with what people call a point-and-shoot camera."
"Received the camera on the day I needed it even though the sales person was not sure if it would get there in time. Camera works great."
"im happy with my order with Americacameras. they do everything they promise and more - they included extra batetry for my order at no extra charge. I received entire package in 6 days. After looking all over the internet and comparing prices i can say now that i saved around $100 on this purchase compareed to other stores."
"Ordered a Canon T3i and received email asking to call. Customer service representative tried to charge for many items that should have been included, then explained it was international "gray" market without usual branding, would be 2-3 weeks to ship, and so on. Typical bait and switch scam company. Run, don't walk, from this company. It's amazing they are allowed to continue operation despite such illicit practices."
"This company has unprofessional business practices. I was searching for an HDTV on Google shopping and americacameras.com was offering the best price. I happily placed the order only to be contacted 4-5 days later about it stating that I placed the order for international model and they wanted to make sure and if I wanted the US model as the price will be more. I had seen reviews about such practice by the company but I thought it was isolated episode but it appears they are using these unethical tactics to lure customers at bigger platform like google and I wonder how many just opt to buying from them at the end. I am going to file complaints with BBB and google as well regarding their practices. I am also concerned about my personal and financial info shared with them. "
"BAIT AND SWITCH. Ordered a Samsung UN55H8000. Received an email 36 hrs later to call them to expedite the order. When I called, I was told that the model ordered was "commercial" and not retail and did not even come with a stand or any other retail accessories. All this would be extra if I wanted it. Will try and find the relevant State Attorney Generals office to make a complaint."
"Ordered a Canon T3 for a very good price. After the order was submitted I got an e-mail to call customer service. They told me the order was for the "international" model that didn't include the battery or charger. The website clearly said battery included. They tried to talk me into buying for a higher price. When I refused and cancelled my order they hung up on me. I called back to be sure my order was cancelled and they hung up on me again."
