"I would just like to say that Vann's is a up front and honest internet retailer. I ordered a Panasonic FZ18 from them on 10/5/2007. While waiting for my order, they price dropped $20. I contacted Vann's Customer Service before my order even arrived, and credited my account for the $20 difference. I must say I will shop from them again. They are very professional and polite. Thanks."
"I bought a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens from them. I tried all the "bait and switch" New York "sellers" and failed to get a better deal on a US lens with US warranty. The lens I bought from Vanns even had a four year extended warranty included! I was quoted 7-10 days for arrival and it came in four. These guys are pros."
"I am very happy with Vanns and will definately look to them first the next time I am looking at making a high dollar electronics purchase. I bought a Sony KDL-40XBR2. I placed the order on Thursday. The only interaction I had with them after that were emails acknowledging the order and advising on the shipping process. They did not try to sell me anything else, not even an extended warranty. They shipped by Yellow and it arrived on Monday. Shipping was also free. The TV was new in the box, no damage, and works perfectly. Did I mention I am very happy!"
"I purchase a Yamaha YSP-800 BL speaker system on 9/21/07 on 9/26/07 I had email Vanns and asked them when would my order shipped and they reply back to me on 9/27/07 telling me that this was a discontinued model,and they would not be getting anymore in stock, and would I like to cancel my order. Now that last part is what I like. Bottem line they sould have notify me as soon as they knew this and not in a reply to my email. They had just drop the ball.
"
"They got everything right. Order shipped on time, warranty came a day early, nothing broken, nothing missing, package left exactly where I needed it.
Thanks very much, Vann's!"
"I purchased a very hard to find Nikon 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens from Vann's. My experience with Vann's was so incredible I just had to share.
(1) They had the lens available in stock where almost all other well-known go-to vendors I had been tracking were backordered for months.
(2) They had THE Lowest Price available anywhere online for this popular lens. It was offered at the actual suggested retail price, whereas all others were marking up to as high as $250 above.
(3) Shipping was FREE!!!!
(4) I ordered online on a Tuesday morning through a very easy process. My email confirmation of order came immediately, the fraud protection confirmation email came less than 10 minutes later. I got my tracking number just two hours later.
(5) No unnecessary call back to complete order, confirmation or upsell.
(6) With regular shipping I got my item that Thursday - TWO DAYS LATER - in a well-packed air pocket-filled box!
(7) It was an actual USA model with USA warranty, not a gray market import model like others selling at too-good-to-be true prices.
Initially, I was a bit skeptical about this site, I'd never heard of them before. But I did my research and found a lot of good reviews (many expressing the same kind of positive surprise I am expressing right now), plus I am backed by a strong credit card protection system, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did. I will definitely shop Vann's again.

"After trying to buy my camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ3A) from two scam websites, it was quite refreshing to deal with Vanns. They had an excellent price and excellent customer service. They shipped the camera quickly, and for the price advertised. After trying to get this camera for > 2 months, it’s great to find a legitimate website that does what they promise!"
"First time ordering from Vans. Excellent prices and outstanding service. Bought a Sony 32" LCD. It shipped the next day and it arrived a day earlier than what FedEx showed. I plan to order again."
"I submitted my order for a Nikon Camera lens on the evening of 6/17/07, Sunday. I had it sent 2nd day air. Recieved lens on 6/20/07, Wednesday. Everything looks perfect. Seemless transaction."
"Searched the internet for reviews for on-line stores in order to purchase my Pioneer 940 Elite and found that Vann's had very good ratings. So, I stepped out on a limb and called. The 940 was on sale and Vann's also offered free shipping (which I thought was too good to be true).
I purchased the 940 on Monday, June 4 and it arrived on my doorstep by 1:00 pm that same Friday. The unit was fully packaged in the factory box which by the way had a built in pallet. No damage and brand new.
I would also like to mention that when I call to order the unit I fully expected to be pressured into purchasing an extended warranty or overly priced cables, entertainment centers or a used car. But, this did not happen at all. I was asked only once about cables and then that was it.
I would surely recommend this company and would return here myself."
"I have been researching TV's since October of 2006. Part of that research has been about where to buy the TV for the best value. I was a bit leary of making this large of a purchase from an online store. I did some research and saw that other stores (such as Abe's of Maine) had terrible customer satisfaction ratings. I also saw that Vann's was rated very high. Still with some hesitation, and expecting some headache's, I placed my order for a Samsung 50" plasma TV (model #5064). I must say that throughout the entire process, I have been very satisfied. I received prompt emails confirming my order and another when the TV shipped. My TV was shipped through Yellow and unlike another person who had a negative experience with them, I had a great experience. My local hub for Yellow even worked with me to get my TV delivered when I would be here. That involved the warehouse manager putting it on a different truck and sending the driver out early. So, based on my experience, I would highly recommend using Vann's to anyone who is reading this. I know that I will use them as my store of choice for buying electronics. "
"Communications were responsive and fast quality was top notch and shipping was on time. Great expierence."
"Had a great experience ordering a Panasonic TH58PX600U plasma tv from this previously unknown store. Was recommended by amazon.com, checked out some ratings, decided to take a chance on it. It offered one of hte best prices, free shipping, and no tax :-) Shipped quickly, arrived within three days; vanns also threw in a harmony universal remote for free!"
"I ordered a 42" Pioneer PRO-940HD tv, plus a Toshiba D-R5 DVD Recorder and an HDMI cable from Vann's on April 18, 2007. Prices were great and no tax and free shipping. The items were delivered on time and as promised and in excellent condition. I received the Pioneer on the 23rd via Yellow Freight and the other items via UPS on the 24th. The ordering process was fantastic and the salesman was not pushy for additional items whatsoever. I received multiple email followups making certain everything was fine. Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend them for electronic purchases."
"I don't normally post to review site like this, but I was so happy with my experience with Vanns, I felt it necessary.
I ordered ~10am on Thrusday.
Order was Approved Friday Morning.
Order was Shipping Friday afternoon
It arrived on the docks in Seattle, Washington that Monday. It did take Yellow Truck til Friday to get it to me, but for free - I'm not complaining.
On top of this, my order was beyond believable in price. If it wasn't for the good reviews I wouldn't have even touched it. I managed to get a Customer Return clearance item (Samsung HL-S5688W) for $749.99 to my door. The box was a bit battered, but the TV was perfect. Not a single issue, scratch, or anything.
Thank you Vanns. I feel like I cheated someone. "
