"They call you later to tell you import model and want more money. They remind of of the new York City camera people . "

"I always buy my gear at deals all year because of the excellent customer service."

"This is going to be a lengthy, honest, unpaid, legit review of my experience with Deals all year buying a Canon 5D Mark 4, so please read all of it! It all started when I ordered this camera through amazon via a third party seller. I was going out of the country and needed it here by the weekend. Amazon shipped it with UPS and it was going to arrive on time, but the UPS near me is full of idiots and the camera got delayed, at which point i canceled the order, on a FRIDAY. After this I frantically looked on Amazon for a new seller which could get it to me FAST. Sadly, no one had 1 day shipping, so I took to google and found deals all year. I really didn’t trust them, BUT remembered seeing them on Amazon as a seller, so I thought whatever, maybe they are legit. I put a 5d on my shopping cart and proceeded to checkout just to see the shipping options, and saw that they had rush overnight shipping. This was perfect, but they didn’t generate an estimated delivery date so I just backed out of the purchase and lost all hope. Fast forward an hour and I receive an email that says “Hi,
We are Deals All Year Camera and Photography.
We seeing that you were trying to place an order on our website, but for reason the order stop it.
Did you have ay issues placing the order or something went wrong?
Please let us know to help you.
Best, Ricardo Zaragosin”

Notice the bad spelling. That worried me, but i sent them an email simply saying that I needed it here by Monday and was unsure of the shipping time so I didn’t order. They emailed me back asking me to call them since they can do it for me on time. I thought ok, lets try this out. I call, and a man with an accent called Kevin answers. I had read about him in other reviews and knew who I was speaking with already. We talked about shipping times, products, and who they were. They are located in New Jersey, and Kevin explained to me that Amazon works 2 day shipping prices into their final price, which is why the camera would still cost the same rush shipped through them vs normal Prime delivery times bought through Amazon.

After a bit of talking and price quoting he then made me some other offers on carrying cases, extra batteries, straps, and product protection warranties etc. I kindly refused and said just the camera would be fine, only if it comes on time. He guaranteed that it would and then I said ok. I also asked about return and stuff, and they said they charge a restocking fee based on shutter count and time owned. But if its a defect, they can replace it for something else. I dont think they like to give you money back, but would rather give you a new product. A few minutes later a PayPal invoice comes through to my email. It stated everything that would be coming, and in the notes it said, saturday deliviry. Delivery was misspelled so that worried me too, but I paid it and didn’t look back.

Forward to the next morning, the morning which the camera is supposed to arrive from New Jersey to Florida, in a day, after being bought late the day before. I said to myself, i am surely not receiving this camera. I was stressing so much, reading all the good and bad reviews, it was bad, really bad. I finally called Kevin back, on a Saturday morning mind you, and he picks up, talks with me some, calms me down and sends me a photo of my tracking number. Sure enough, the camera came at 11:30 am.

Heres where it gets interesting. The camera was listed as an import model, but the Cam came like perfect. I mean perfect. The box, and every little addon were legit canon products, not gray market or aftermarket things. Even the camera had a legit serial at the bottom. The only thing that might have been aftermarket was the battery charger but I am not sure tbh. The camera was brand new, unused, unopened, 0 shutter count. I truly cant be happier.

Finally, Kevin asked me to write a review for him on 4 separate links. He of course asked me nicely and sugar talked me, but he did not say to make the review nice or to fake anything. I see why they have so many reviews now, because they ask the customer to write them.

So, heres the final verdict. They are very legit, have legit products for excellent prices, but their methods will 100 percent strike any normal consumer as shady or unprofessional, IE they didn't send me a tracking #, but I called and Kevin texted me it which was funny yet comforting to have his number in my pocket. Not every business can have a whole customer service department or a big enough budget to deal with all the **** that happens, or have the time to be super professional when it comes to customer relations. This is a small business no doubt. My experience was scary at first, but I stuck through it and got an incredible deal. So, my new "Import Model/Gray Market" 5D has no issues, cost me $2200 overnighted and I got mostly original canon equipment save for the battery charger. Gotta give it to them, they delivered! Thanks Kevin. GL with your orders guys"

"I was looking to buy a telephoto lens for my Nikon dslr. I found one at Deals all year and bought it. When it arrived I realized it was the wrong model for my camera. With my limited knowledge I soon discovered that I had ordered the wrong item. I then contacted Kevin at Deals all year and explained my dilemma. He searched for the correct model without much luck for the price I wanted to pay. So finally he contacted me and help to arrange a refund and also provided some great insight to help me in my future search for the correct item. I never expected so much helpful assistance from a camera company. Thanks once again.

"The guys over at Deals All Year were absolutely amazing!! The made my transaction quick and easy! I will definitely be returning to DAY! Thank you again for your amazing customer svc! Can’t wait to use my new lens tomorrow!! "

"Very helpful and informative. Made attempts to contact me when he needed more information. Well spoken and pleasant interactions in all calls"

"I ordered a 5 d mark iv through Steven and I sent it to the wrong address by accident. I called and he was able to cache refund and order a new American version with a 5 year warranty and express ship it so I could have it for my upcoming event. He was very nice and helpful! I recommend this company not only for the deals but the customer service was incredible! "

"Photography for my self has been an amazing opportunity to be there at peoples happiest moments! I’ve learned about so many cultures and events along the way. It’s my absolute passion and has now became a full time job. Who has a job that they are actually completely compassionate about? Almost no one ever! It does not feel like an ounce of work!

Part of my journey has became searching for knowledgeable people regarding equipment that will back their guarantees. Well the universe just did that for me! I was on my way to a large franchise store when they said they had one lens left and when I got there they couldn’t find it. All of a sudden literally as they were searching frantically I get a phone call back from the owner! We have the lens! "

"They a great！！！In fact, I was initially sceptical because their camera was too cheap. A few hundred cheaper than Amazon, B&H, Best buy and other businesses. I have to wonder if this is a refurbished machine or something else. What I want to tell you is, if you have any questions, contact them！contact them！contact them！ whether it's email or phone call. Their waiters are very friendly and patient and will explain any questions you have. So, I bought 5D4 from they store（believe me you can not find another store cheap than him）. They gave me extended services and some excellent services（warranty, clean and extra warranty update and free memory card）. Don't hesitate or be shy, Just contact them, you will be satisfied."

"First off I just wanna give a shout out to Steven aka magic maker aka the one and only beast from the east!! I live in Hollywood and this guy made it feel like his shop was right here in town even though he lives clear across the country. He was personally in constant contact with me on details about my order. Really came through with everything he said he would. His approach is thorough and professional but we also had a lot of laughs lol magic maker IS the go to guy for any photo or video needs you may have! Deals all year indeed. An excellent experience overall. Thanks homie! "

"I am a professional photographer. I dropped my lens and had to replace it. Deals All Year had the best price and my lens was delivered right on time. I thought I got the wrong lens mount for my camera but I was wrong. It was correct. But customer service picked up my call right away and were very helpful."

"Thanks Steve. Excellent service, very competitive prices. Steven from sales did an excellent job in presenting Canon product knowledge of the Canon 5DS R camera and compatible canon Lens. I requested a bundle that would support my Fine Art businesses need for highly detailed imaging of Folk and Contemporary art work.. Together we settled on a camera within my budget and one that would serve my purpose and give me the image quality required for image reproductions. Thanks again Steve.. "

"I have always had a passion for taking pictures. But when I first started out I didn’t have the best equipment and knew that I wasn’t getting the best results and quality I could. For me, Photography is an art and a way to show who I am through the beautiful moments I capture. Pictures are a moment froze in time that will never fade. When I decided to make the jump to upgrade my equipment I came across Deals all year. Steven gave the best customer service I’ve ever received and helped me pick the best camera and was very personable and there to answer any questions I had. Even after the sale was over. He has since kept in contact to make sure I’m still loving my equipment which I think is outstanding for a business owner and really sets him apart from others. I also love how good of deals he has. Definitely the best deals around! I will continue to do my business through him and will recommend him to everyone!! I’m so pleased with the equipment and services I’ve recieved and it has really changed my Photography business for the better."

"I had a great experience ordering from Deals all year. Very efficient website. Quick delivery. I will buy from them again in the future."

"Dealing with the right people it’s a must i’ve been a photographer for for over 20 years and I’ve dealt with a lot of companies over that time. I’ve worked for the post office as a photographer and I’ve done work for my state from time to time you have to buy equipment from different companies some reputable some not so much, dealing with deals all year has been a pleasurable experience in the process of making a purchase I’ve made some mistakes the person I was dealing with Kevin was a lifesaver his customer service skills were excellent. He save me !!! Deals are year will be the first place I looked for future equipment."
