"was looking for prices on Canon Digital Rebel. Their price was "very good", but description lacked info about package content, USA warranty, US/gray market product. When asked about it via email, all they managed to say is: "yes we have it in stock, to order please call us at ***-***-****
thanks"
I didn't asked whether they have it (their site says they do have it on stock).
Would not buy. Strongly recomend to stay away.

"A real bunch of cons in my opinion. To make maters worse Popular Photography has them checkrated.
Sadly I changed my order from B&H to Royal,B&H realy should be mad too, being also checkrated with the likes of Royal I quess checkrated means they they greased Popular Photography palms.

I have sent them three e-mails regarding a Canon 10D (which is priced VERY low). After reading all these comments, I now understand why.

I will NOT be ordering from them. Thanks to all of you that posted.

"Liars...Plain and Simple. I called about ordering a canon 10d and BG ED3. I asked the sales person directly if the camera,as advertised, is a US model. NOT GREY MARKET!! He assured me that it would be the US model and that it was in stock. He then tried to sell me on lenses and cards. I told him that I already have them. In a very snotty voice, he said "why don't you just use the website?" I went ahead and placed the order online. the next day I got the "confirmation call" e-mail. I called and was told that my order would arrive in 3-4 weeks. I asked her why, if I'm paying $70.00 for UPS 3 day, it should take so long? She told me that it would take that long to arrive from "overseas"....(translation grey market). I eventually got to the manager...a VERY RUDE little man. He then tried to sell me the US version for $1300. After a bit of futile arguing, I cancelled my order. Caveat Emptor.."

"I checked out the Olympus E-1 from here and then stumble across this site. I was amazed at all the bad reviews and got me worried, so I tried to call up the customer service and guess what no one answered. In fact I called 4 times at an hour interval and nothing. Today they called me back to confirm the purchase. I said I'm cancelling the order. Boy does this guy have the nerve to yell at me and to say it'll cost them money for cancellation. Who ever heard of that.

Avoid them at all cost just like what the other reviewers say. Price is too good to be true. They better not continue with my purchase eventhough I asked to cancel or else they will see a lawsuit from me.

"Deceptive pricing. Rude salespeople. A bait-and-switch operation. Very similar to digitalliquidators.com; they're probably run by the same scam artists."

"Stay away from this supplier. Once an order is placed over their web site, they send you an e-mail to call them about the order. This results in you being subjected to high pressure sales tactics to upgrade and buy more.

Their web site is, in my opinion, very ambiguous as to what is/is not included. I feel that they advertise merchandise at lower than normal prices to suck you into ordering, then upsell you.

They also overcharged me for shipping - added over $70 to my bill because "we get 8% shipping and handling" - this was in addition to the $79.95 they charged for 2 day air shipping. There is no mention of this handling fee on the invoice I got when I ordered over the internet.

They substituted an inferior camera flash for the one I ordered, then tried to get me to keep it by saying that it was "better" than the one I ordered (which it is most definitely not). I have returned the flash with the promise that I would be shipped the right product at the price advertised, with no additional shipping charges, but I am skeptical that they are going to follow through as promised.

I'm concerned that they are going to play games with the flash because the invoice I got from them in the box had ONE PRICE, and everything underneath it was at $0.

With all the quality vendors out there to buy from, I would never buy from this vendor again, and highly recommend that you don't either. I've bought a lot of stuff over the internet, and this is the first time I've had a problem like this.

"Sales people are rude, obnoxious and without any professional integrity. Rip off on shipping. $59.95 for a small camera body. refused to sell camera body if I did not buy hundreds of dollars of extras. Like manufactures included items. Battery, charger, strap. Also insisted I buy items I did not need. This compamy has no ethics. Thier bisiness practise borders on being illegal."

"The Worst!!! company in the world!
NEVER EVER EVER buy from this shady company. I recently placed an order and recieved an email stating I needed to call and confirm my order. Which turned out to be another ploy to get me to buy additional accesories. When i refused to buy it the salesman became very rude and he said to cancel my order. He then began to make personal attacks at which I hung up on him. I then called my credit card company and filed a complaint. Don't buy anything from here unless you are prepared to living your worst nightmare!

"NEVER EVER EVER buy from this shady company. I recently placed an order and recieved an email stating I needed to call and confirm my order. Which turned out to be another ploy to get me to buy a $300 warranty. When i refused to buy it the salesman became very rude and when I asked him to cancel my order he refused. I then got extremely angry and asked to speak to a supervisor. He then began to make personal attacks at which I hung up on him. He called me back and tried to impersonate his manager. I recognized his voice and hung up again. I then called my credit card company and filed a complaint. Don't buy anything from here unless you are prepared to deal with some of the rudest, most ignorant group of people out there."

"Despicable outfit of ganifs(Yiddish for thiefs)! The first salesman hangs up on me after I refuse to purchase over-priced accessories. The second salesman is incredibly rude and after verifying that he has this grey market camera I want in stock, I agreed to purchase it to save $500. Called back 3 days later for an order status and , of course, the item is back-ordered for at least 3 weeks. You'll never purchase these items at these ridiculously low advertised prices because they only make real money using classic bait and switch tactics. By the way, I then tried another one of these shady dealers who claimed to have the unit in stock but wanted to charge me a "standard" $299 shipping fee! "

"This seller is loke an auto dealer selling you a car then asking if you want wheels.
The camera I wanted to order was, as i found out, not a functional camera as listed.
They will suck you in to paying way more than expected for their advertized items.
I am very dissapointed with Yahoo sales having this outfit associated with them.
BEWARE!
