"User friendly website. East to order. Received purchase in short time. Pleased with item and service."
"Ordered a Nikon prime lens from TriState and it arrived on-time and in perfect condition. The only less than perfect part was that free shipping goes through DHL and USPS. My tracking number didn't work on DHL's site and I didn't know what day it was projected to arrive until the package arrived at my local post office. It's really a non-issue, so I still give them 5 stars!"
"I read a lot of of horrible of tri state reviews the night before my new lens was supposed to arrive. I was in a panic thinking I got scammed. But I payed for a new 85mm lens with 2 days shipping and I got a new 85mm lens in 2 days. So no complaints!"
"I ordered a Nikon D7200 body & received it in a box for a kit consisting of the body + 18-140mm lens. Of course there was no lens in the box since I only ordered the body. But this seemed very odd: to ship a DSLR body in a body-lens kit box. There was also no Nikon USA warranty card in the kit box. After calling Tristate about it, I was told the body was a grey market product & that I would get a Tristate warranty instead.
I didn't want a grey market part, so I sent the body back & was promised a full refund. No refund occurred after 2 weeks & multiple calls. Each time I called they would say the credit will show up in my account in 48 hrs but it never happened. So finally I call my credit card company to dispute the charge & got my refund. i had to pay the shipping & insurance ($30) back to Tristate, which I would not have spent had I known it was a grey market body.

"I got the lens I wanted at a very competitive price quickly with free shipping. Very satisfied!"
"Ordered online through the website. Al called the next day to confirm my order and address. I received it the following day. Everything was perfect."
"Was looking at my first DSLR camera for awhile, finally settling on the Canon EOS Rebel T5i as video capability was important to me. After a couple weeks of research I found that Tri-State Cameras had the absolute best price and excellent ratings. I was not disappointed. They personally called me to review my order and make sure I had everything I needed and shipped it immediately! Great price, great customer service, free shipping and no sales tax as I'm out of state. Definitely on my "buy from again" list."
"Thoughtful customer service and fast shipping. I will gladly recommend you to others."
"Got a camera $100 cheaper than anywhere else and the service was great!"
"website was easy to navigate, order shipped quickly and was the best price on the web"
"The description says that a user manual is included with the camera. It's really just a "quick-start" guide. Many pages long, but dozens of languages. There's only 3-4 pages in each language. I wrote to Tri-State and explained this. They sent me the exact same multi-language quick-start guide. The only way to get the full 170-page manual is to print it out from the internet, which would be a pretty bulky thing to have. I bought from this company because they claimed to have a user manual and other sites did not. I would have purchased cheaper at another site if I'd known the paper manual wasn't included."
"Knowing that there are several sites out there that are shady, I was a little hesitant to buy from TriState when I saw they had one of the lowest advertised prices for the Canon d5 Mark iv, but since they had been well reviewed, I took a chance and am not disappointed. I also chose to pay via PayPal, just so that I wouldn't have to share my credit card number if anything went wrong.
But the experience I had was great. Like many others, I received a call to confirm my order before it shipped and was upsold an extended warranty, which I actually appreciate for an expensive piece of equipment. The camera arrived brand new in box, as expected.
I will buy from TriState Camera in the future!"
"Although the binoculars that I ordered arrived in good time, the shipment interface was extremely poor. My order number never updated on the TriState Camera web site to show shipment. I had to call TriState to obtain tracking information. Then the USPS website never updated until the day the shipment actually arrived, so I was left in the dark as to whether the shipment was actually received by the USPS. This was very frustrating as I was not sure the product would arrive to meet my vacation needs. "
"Great price, fast shipping!"
"Somehow I did not receive a notice of shipment. But shipment was quick and arrived on schedule. Item is as advertised."
"Based on all the review on this len I just recived it in the next few days. I am on my way in testing it I an sure the foto will look great."
