"Did a lot of price research and ordered a Canon SD900 for a great price. I waited for two weeks for Yellow Bee Photo to ship my product. I called customer service on 1/16/2007, asked if product had shipped. Was told "No" after which I cancelled the order. Card had not been charged and I received a cancellation Email within minutes.
Customer rep offered no explanation but wished we could do business in the future. Won't happen!"
"i ordered a Sony DSCW70 Cybershot DSC-W70 from yellow bee and i called to confirm they were shipping it but the customer service guy connected me to someone (sales maybe?) and they tried to sell me an expensive 8 hr battery and memory card which i did not want and the guy said stop busting my balls your order is cancelled. so watch out for these hustlers from nyc."
"Soon after placing an order on their web site YellowBeePhoto called me to confirm the order. The representative tried to sell me various accessories that I didn't want at astronomical prices. When I refused, the rep said I would be unhappy with the item I ordered without the suggested accessories and therefore he could not sell me the item I ordered. I was so angry. I will not be ordering any merchandise from this company ever."
"DO NOT USE THIS STORE! I made my order, then they sent an email telling me to confirm, when i called and waited for 1 hour to connect, they then tried selling me all types of garbage, then when i refused, i immediately got a back order email so they refused to fill my order but yet charged my credit card. This is plain and simple fraud, are they any lawyers out there that can help close this company!"
"gret service....fast shipping....good storwe... will visit this site again."
"Do NOT use this online store. As indicated by other reviewers, this store does not complete the order in a timely manner. I placed an online order on 11/30/2006 only after I saw that the item was in stock. Three weeks later, I am still waiting for my camera. They do not acknowledge e-mails and the waiting time to get through to them on the phone is over 15 minutes. Avoid this store at all costs- I wish I had read this rating site before placing the order. I am still trying to cancel my order. Completely disappointed by this online store!"
"When I placed my order, their web site displayed a stock status of IN STOCK. When I confirmed my web order by phone, I was told that the Nikon lens was in stock and that I would have it by the end of the week. Then they proceded to sell me a 3 lens filter set for 69.00. When I checked the order online, I was being charged $399.99 for the 3 lens filters and another 299.00 for extended warranty. I called and these items were removed from my order. When I followed up 2 days later, I was told by their customer service that the lens "HADN'T COME IN YET". I cancelled the order and purchased the lens elsewhere. Don't do business with LIARS and CHEATS like Yellow Bee Photo."
"I ordered a Canon A540 on December 8th and received an email on the 13th that they had been trying to reach me to verify my credit card information (read upsell accessories). I had not received any calls from them by the way. I starting trying to call them and found the call either terminated or was dropped. Eventually sent an email and asked them to call me, or I would need to cancel the order. Shortly I received an order cancellation notice. Horrible, horrible, operation. Avoid at all cost. "
"THIS OPERATION IS A SCAM!
Just try calling their phone number a few times and you're likely to get different results... most of the time resulting in the call being dropped. My order never shipped for weeks, with ridiculous excuses. One salesperson tried to upsell me on extra batteries I didn't need; when I refused I guess they just froze the order.
BUYER BEWARE! This storefront is bogus!!"
"DO NOT USE YELLOW BEE PHOTO. I picked them for the lowest price on a Panasonic PV-GS500 camcorder. After I placed my order online they called back right away to confirm the order and SELL ME OVERPRICED ACCESSORIES. The 6hr battery listed on their site at $257.00 is around $60.00 anyplace else. When I shopped around the accessories and found out how over priced they were, I called back to cancel. They would not let me cancel but cut the price (but still overpriced). Then they changed the order by taking off the 4yr. warrenty and adding a second battery. When I called back to cancel, again they would not let me but fixed the order by adding a 2yr warrenty and promised to upgrade delivery to next day at no charge. 12 days after the initial order they call me back at 6:00pm to tell me the GS500 has been discontinued and nobody in the US can get it but they would substitute the GS300 for it. I asked again to cancel but they said it had already shipped and I could not cancel. They did adjust the total charge by $100.00. The difference in price of the camcorders on their site is $152.00, also they added a $70.00 shipping charge. I immediately ordered the camera from another online reseller and 5 days later I have the camera I wanted in hand. 17 days after the initial order with Yellow Bee I called again to get the status of the order. Turns out it still had not been shipped even though 5 days earlier I was told by the rep that it had already shipped. This time I finally got the order cancelled."
"Ordered Canon SD630 digital camera. Next day received e-mail to call to confirm billing info. I tried to reach them for 3 days. After several sessions of waiting on hold for 30-45min, someone actually answered the phone. Told me He had to transfer to me to the verifing dept. I asked to speak to his supervisor and of course that never happened. So I immediately e-mailed that I wanted to cancel my order. Guess what-I got an answer within hours that they would cancel my order. This site should be banished."
"Do NOT order from these clowns! Let me guess, you are tempted to buy from them because they have the lowest price. Here's how it works:
1-You will get an email saying there is a problem with your order and you should call.
2-When you call, you will be told to buy additional marked up items (case, battery, etc.)
3- If you refuse, they will cancel your order.
I order things online all the time, and I have NEVER been treated this way. I have absolutely nothing positive to say about them. Just spend the extra few dollars and don't waste your time. It is s a scam."
"A complete fraud. Also operates as digitalshopcart - Just like the reviewers before me said. They show the lowest prices, ask you to call back to verify billing details, try to sell you overpriced accessories, and cancel your order if you dont. Its a big scam. Definitely, do not buy from here."
"they list the camera as in stock and on the phone it in stock but they pressure you to buy other accessory's from them but i didn't want to and asked how long it would take to get the camera and they said about 3 days. then i get an email saying the its out of stock and the order is canceled."
"FRAUD! This is a complete scam, as revealed at the following site. They have not been in business for 21 years, there is no Gold Award, there are no international warehouses. There isn't even a storefront as shown on the front page of the site. AVOID!!!
