"I needed a camera battery ASAP. I found the battery I needed at nwvdirect,com. Price was right, no tax and no S/H. The specs exceeded the OEM battery. I received e-mail confirmations, invoice, and a USPS tracking #. I received the battery in less than 1 week. Appears like a good place to do business."
"I had never heard of New World Video Direct prior to this order.
Like others, I found them via a web search for a replacement camera battery. Not only did they have the best price, they had an easy to access and use site. The transaction went smoothly and the battery arrived very quickly, not bad for FREE shipping!
I tried the battery and found it much better than the original from Panasonic. I will be ordering a spare in just a moment..."
"Like so many other reviewers, I knew what I wanted and ordered it (a Nikon SB-600 flash) with 3 day shipping. I looked up their reviews and chose to order in spite of the theme I saw, because of the $20 difference in price. Big mistake. Like others, I received a phone call the first business day after placing the order, this time saying there was a recall (which there was, a few months ago) and trying hard to sell me a Sigma flash. The salesperson said they had been waiting for 7 weeks for more flashes, but that they didn't know when they would receive them.
I called Adorama once I got off the phone, and they've had the flash in stock straight through (said the recall was well past over with), so the whole thing felt fishy to me. To their credit, NWV Direct issued a refund by the end of the day.
The item (SB-600 flash) is still listed as in stock and shipping within 1-2 business days, in spite of the fact that the salesperson told me they had no idea when they'd be getting them back in.
I do not recommend this company!"
"Had no problems what so ever. Order came in a timely fashion. "
"Easy to order from web page. Fast service. Product received in good condition as ordered."
"This company appears to use bait and switch tactics. I decided to use them because their price was better than anyone else I could find. Shortly after the order was placed via their web site, they called to let me know it was on back order everywhere for 6-8 weeks. They offered what turned out to be a Chinese substitute for $69. When I declined they dropped the price $20 and tried again. I can buy Chinese stuff on eBay for little more than the cost of shipping so I declined again. I ended up getting for a little more from B&H Photo-Video with no problems."
"Beware the information on their site. They offer 21-day "satisfaction guarantee" on one page and take it back on another. Hard to do business with."
"The order came very quickly and I was very satisfied with the product."
"Bait & Switch tactics, just as described by many others. I was emailed that there was an issue with my order & that I should contact them at a provided telephone number.
When I called, was told that the battery charger (Canon CG-580 Portable Battery Charger For BP-500 Series) was backordered for six weeks from Canon & nobody has this currently. But, that she would "UPGRADE" me to a better, more expensive model for only $69 instead of the $37 the real thing was supposed to be. I then said "no", and was offered it for $49 instead. And, she also offered an "UPGRADE" for the battery I ordered to a non-Canon battery for the same price that was "worth more & better product". I then told her this was a bait & switch, and she denied it. She was only trying to help me. But, she did not have the product I ordered and tried to replace it with an inferior product (BAIT & SWITCH). I then cancelled my order & was told that my Paypal would be credited within 24 hours. We will see.
*note: money was refunded that evening. "
"This was my first time ordering from them. I had left the battery charger to my camera in a hotel in the Bahamas and found NWV by searching Google for the product. I ordered the replacement and the next day I get a call from them saying the part they have is back-ordered but they have another version that they can give me. It's usually more expensive but they will sell it to me the same price as what I ordered. Got it the next day and it seems to work great. This charger also has and international plug and a car charger, so it's nicer than the one I had. Really appreciate the fast service and accommodation on price despite being a more expensive unit. I would buy from them again."
"NWV Direct was the only place on the internet after MUCH searching that had the lenses and adapters for my camera (Sony H20). From start to finish, the ordering process was smooth and flawless. The staff at NWV Direct (especially a gentleman named Charlie) was more than friendly. My adapter was on back order and Charlie kept me posted of the status all along and he also made sure it got to me in time for me to go out of town and use my new lenses. He also knocked off 18.00 for the extra adapter, rather than just giving me duplicate adapters and then charging me for both. I will most definitely be ordering from this company again. Thanks NWV Direct!"
"Very quick and polite customer service. Good prices. I would definitely deal with them again and highly recommend them."
"Unfortunately , my product didn't arrive as described, however, the customer service personally contacted me and resolved the issue and couldn't have done a better job handling it. It's not often a company goes as far as these guys did to correct an issue. "
"I ordered a macro lens for my Sony Handycam. They supplied a free stepping ring so it would fit my model. Shipping was fast. The lens works great. I would order from them again without hesitation."
"This was so easy! I went on-line, found the item I wanted, ordered it and about 5 days later it arrived. Very nice product and a no-brainer purchase. Thanks so much for being there!
