"Don't buy from this site,
I bought a camera but when I call for the confirmation they try to sell me extra stuff like a battery pack because the one that came with it only holds 20 minutes when I refused to get it, they ask why I was buying a camera that can only be use in Japan!!! What????
And if I want it for US it cost 120 dlls more!!!
Come on, nowhere on the site or camera description says that!!!
Horrible selling site
"

"I had the worst experience with this company. First, I ordered two lens that together should have cost $1,800. I received an email to call them to finish the process. I ended up talking with a sales representitive who proceeded to hussle me into buying more than I bargained for and the end balance ended up being $2400!! I asked for a receipt email with detailed prices of the two lenses, filters, and warrenty. The total price didn't seem right. He proceeded to tell me he would send a confirmation email and tracking # after the purchase had been made and product sent. A 800 # later called asking for a fax of my id AND the front/back of my credit card. I questioned this and they said ANY order over a certain amount always needs to be id'd for insurance reasons. I reluctantly sent in the info, later to regret sending over such sensitive information...I later called my credit card company and they said the payment was already pending. So why would they need this information again? They called again asking for me to refax this information again so it was a little clearer for them to read!! I tried to cancel and the abrasive representative said 'Just refax that information and we will expedite the product for no additional cost'. That prompted me to call B&H photo to see if there policy is similar and it wasn't even close, on top of that I was over charged by $400! I currently am disputing this purchase with my credit card company. DO NOT BUY FROM CAMERAADDICT!!!! "

"I ordered Sony Handycam by seeing lowest price.
While ordering, inventory shows in stock.
But will recieve an email after some time order back placed, because of out of stock."

"my experience is similar to the others on this site. I ordered a Garmin Nuvi 770 at the advertised price of $499. I then got this message to call an 800 number about the order. They told me that the GPS didn't include maps (A lie) and that I needed to order the maps, etc. By the time I was through the cost was $767.94 . They said that I would have map updates until 2015 for the $79 that I paid, and yet there is no documentation with the shipment.
They are shady characters that I would never deal with again. Monday I'm going to call the credit card company to stop payment.
PS It is a boiler shop operation with an answering service putting the 'hit' on you. "

"Bait and Switch scam artists.

Online I ordered a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS receiver from CameraAddict.com made specifically for motorcycles. The price was $549, significantly lower than the typical $650+ prices from other online vendors. After placing the online order I recieved an email saying I needed to call their 800 number to confirm the order, which I did. The salesperson asked if I needed a car dash mount for the GPS - no thanks. They asked if I was intending to use this on a motorcycle - I said yes. He said this package was for cars only and the motorcycle package was $638. I said I was looking at their website advertisement as we spoke and it said nothing about the unit offered being anything different from what is offered by Garmin for this GPS unit - it said nothing about being just for cars. He said he didn't know what the website showed but the unit was only for automobiles. I knew where the conversation was headed and I didn't want to deal with a dishonest, cheating scam operation that this obviously was, so at that point I asked him to cancel my order, which he agreed to do. I received an email about an hour later indicating my order had been cancelled.

fyi The Zumo 550 is made specifically for motorcycles. It happens to also have a windshield mount included just in case you want to use it in your car. Garmin has only one packaging configuration for this item. These guys were blatantly lying about the 'motorcycle' version being an additional charge.

"I to almost was taken by this company. I placed an order for a Samsung 46" TV. Received a email to call them to proceed with my order. Once I called the person on the other end told me that it does not come with a stand and for just 199.00 bucks I could buy one. I told him that was crazy and the MFG ships the base with the TV. He told me no, none of them come with a base. All I could do was laugh at him. Then he went on to ask me if I wanted a warranty with it. I said no thanks the one year warranty will be just fine. Nope...it does not come with one he tells me. At that time I asked to talk to the manger or person in charge. He told me it was a call center and there was none there.

I had called the day before and asked all these question about stand and warranty. The sales person told me "Well of course they come with the stand and 1 year warranty" Now this guy I'm on the phone with is telling me the first guy was wrong. Needless to say I cancelled my order. I would never deal with this company again and I will go to every "review" site I can find and post my dealings with them. "

"I placed the order for a GPS 478 on 5/13/2008 purchase price was $691.00.

The salesman explained that there were additional items required to make the item functional: First he told me I needed shipping insurance for $50. I refused.


He then forcefully sold me the following items for an additional $168.99

• Recharable battery pack
• 1 GB memory chip
• Screen protectors
• Year product replacement warranty

I continually asked if the above items were compatible with the GPS 478 and he assured me they were.

On Friday May 16, 2008 I received the package and I received:

• GPS 478
• Screen protectors
• Mini SD 1 GB memory chip
and a sales receipt saying 1 year warranty
The memory chip sells for about $10 and was incompatible with the GPS 478
Screen protectors sell for $5
Warranty is useless
I received nothing for the additional $168.99

"I'm not going spend a lot of space writing what everyone wrote below. But it's all true and all happened to me. The same "15 minute" battery and bait and switch. DO NOT SHOP HERE!"

"Placed an order online for a Fuji F50fd camera on 5/18/08. On 5/20/08 received an email requesting that I contact them in order for them to process the order. This was just an attempt for an up-sell. They claimed the battery I was getting was only going to last me 10 minutes. I told them no.
Asked them when the camera was going to be shipped. They said it was on backorder and wouldn't ship for 2 weeks. Went back to their website a couple of days later and it still indicated that it was in stock and ready to ship.
3-1/2 weeks later still no camera. Called and emailed but received no replies.
Don't even consider buying from this outfit. Not even if the price is 1 cent. It is just not worth the aggravation. "

"Ordered Samsung 37" TV (LN37A550)...they had best price! When they called to "confirm" got standard accessory offers. Did not need any. THEN they had the nerve to tell me I had to pay an extra $129 for the base mount that comes with the set. They even show it in their picture. Their argument was "we are so low priced we cannot give you what is packaged like other stores!" The HELL with them...that kind of crap is a NO-GO for me. There are too many honest sites around-who needs them?"

"This scammer is AKA Broadway Photo. Ordered a Samsung TV May 6th. Was told unit was backordered. Spent 5 weeks of mostly ignored E-Mails and phone calls trying to get even an estimated ship date. Was finally forced to cancel my order and the credit card I had used, as I believe they are identity-theft scammers. STAY AWAY!!!"

"I ordered a Sony A350 (body only) the next day I received an email saying I need to call them. I called and had to leave a message. Being anxious to get my new camera I called again 3 hours later I finally got through and they tried to sell me batteries, bags, CF cards and so on. When I declined and said I only wanted the body they took my order. Next day I received an email saying that the camera that wanted was on back order and I could cancel if I wanted. I called 2 times asking if they had them in stock once I was told they would be in next week, next time I was told they had the US models but the one I ordered for the low price was international and I would not get it for 3 to 4 weeks. I then began researching their company and realized I was being scammed and would never probably receive the camera so I did cancel my order. I reordered from Abe's of Maine and received my camera the next day. If the price sounds to good to be true it probably is. I should have checked the company out first but I am too trusting."

"This was the worst experience I have ever had. DO NO ORDER from this bait and switch organization"

"By the time they added all the extras that are standard with other sellers, the unit was considerably more expensive than alternatives. IT IS ABSOLUTELY A BAIT AND SWITCH OPERATION."

"Worst online purchase ever. Ordered camera(60.00 cheaper than at other vendors) that was advertised to be in stock. I later received an email to call them about expediting the order, at which time they tried to sell me a 100.00 spare battery. I was told the camera would ship in a few days. In a few days, I received an email that the camera was on a two week back order. Now, three weeks later and after 45 minutes of trying to speak to someone in customer service, I am told the camera will not ship for three more weeks. Note that I called first asking if this very camera was in stock (did not tell them I had ordered one), and was told it would ship in 3-5 days. I cancelled my order and would caution anyone who decides to shop on this site."
