"Have ordered from them before with no issue, but, this time, I ordered a replacement battery on April 10, when I finally got it on April 27, it wouldn't fit into the charger, Eric responded and said he was shipping out a new one, with a return label for the other, here it is almost June 1st and I've heard nothing! I'm out $75+. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!"
"Ordered two small parts for my DSLR on 12/17/11 . Received them on 12/22/11 . No problems with this vendor and will order from again ."
"I placed an order with Precision Photo through their website on Wednesday, August 24th, and received the parts via US Postal Service TWO DAYS later using the least expensive delivery method. They have my positive vote."
"Beware of this company. I ordered a Nikon eyepiece which was advertised on their site. It never arrived. I emailed and called a number of times but never got any response or was able to contact them. I had charged the purchase to PayPal and my credit card was billed. After filling a report with PayPal, I received a refund. Hurray for PayPal. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable vendor. Precision Photo, aka, Boca Photo, is unreliable."
"from Andorra
Ordered a Nikon battery Holder Jan 2011
No shipment, no response to many emails, no reply to any phone calls (You only get an answering machine)
Thus guy is a gangster, it is a SCAM
We have reported him to PAYPAL, MACOMB County Sherrif and Attorney Generals Offics of Michigan
BE WARNED - "
"Out right Rip Off Artist! Placed order on January 31st of 2011 for several small items amounting to $30.26.
7 weeks late, still no Product. Does Not answer emails., or telephone calls (he is always away from his desk). He better hope I don't travel to Michigan soon!
So...I see all these complaints. What he is doing is against the Law, so let's track him down!
..Did a little digging... the Perp's Name is Eric Gottlieb and last known address is 20061 Ballantrae Drive, Macomb Township, MI 48044. Telephone:***-***-****.
I have contacted the Macomb County Sheriff's Office and asked them to initiate an investigation for Computer Crimes."
"Odre some parts for my D2X and D700 and flash. Credit card charged but never received my order. The seller does not reply to emails and does not return phone calls. Very poor custommer servce and smell like scam. Stay away from this seller! "
"Never received my order. The seller does not reply to emails and does not return phone calls. Stay away!"
"PrecisionPhoto & Bocaphoto is a WASTE OF TIME! I ordered a Nikon D300 bottom terminal cover for $6.90, which was clearly "in stock". After more than 2 weeks, I still haven't got the item. I called, emailed a couple of times, no answer at all, nothing. A deadbeat seller, stayaway!"
"Looks like I'm being scammed by these losers as well. Ordered two terminal caps and a hotshoe cover for my D2Xs a month ago. Emails and phone calls go unanswered. Soon as I post this I'm opening up a claim file with PayPal."
"My story is exactly the same as the rest of you, so it's fairly clear that this is a repeating theme with this seller. I just filed and escalated a dispute with PayPal and I urge the rest of you to do the same. Also, you might want to consider sending Precision Photo an email threatening to file a consumer complaint with the Office of the Attorney General for Michigan, where this company is located. Here’s the link: http://www.michigan.gov/ag/0,1607,7-164-17331-42077--,00.html. Tell the seller that unless they respond immediately, either by shipping your order, or by cancelling it and thus refunding your money, that you will file a complaint with the office of Mike Cox. Hope this helps!"
"Ordered a small repair part for a nikon, credit card charged same day. After almost 4 weeks and no return emails or response from seller I can safely say DON'T use this vendor. Wish I would have found the negative feedback before ordering. Have since activated a dispute with paypal. Hopefully will receive a refund.
****UPDATE**** For those interested, stay away from the ebay seller "ericgottlieb". This is the same vendor as bocaphoto/precision photo. I have contacted him via ebay and will preassure him there as well as any other site I can
*****Update******* Paypal reversed the purchase and refunded my money. Don't wait to escalate your claim to a request for refund, claim and then 24 hrs later escalate the claim to request.
Kudos to paypal for being very prompt, now if they would just shut his paypal account down many of us wouldn't be taken by this eric gottlieb."
"I ordered 2 Nikon items from bocaphoto/Precision Photo. I never received them - it's been almost 3 month now. Worst of all - I wrote them 4 times and asked for a status and never got an answer. I have tried bocaphoto/Precision Photo for the first and last time."
"I'm joining a long list of people who are dissatisfied with Precision Photo. I ordered a small part of my Nikon 600 flash, received confirmation of my order, and that was it. A month later still no word about my order. Phone calls were left unanswered as were an email I sent. Finally, I requested that my order be canceled. Another company sent the needed part to me within three days! Stay away from this company!"
"Placed my order for some small Nikon parts on 8/14/2010. I received a confirmation e-mail and my PayPal account was immediately charged. After a couple weeks I sent an e-mail asking for an update. No response. I sent two additional e-mails and made two phone calls, all not returned. I finally filed a complaint with PayPal and my merchandise arrived today (9/27/2010)with no explaination. Meanwhile they have used my money for over a month interest free. They have a great selection of little parts but very poor service. Too bad."
