"OMG! I was looking for a super wide angle canon 10-22mm lens for my Canon 50D. I came across bingocameras.com. Which I understand is the same place as Soniccameras. They wanted $429 for about an $750 lens. AMAZING. I couldn't pass that up! So I placed the order on their website. I ordered 2 day air and it was still way cheaper.
Three days later, I didn't get it. I called them and this N.Y clown Chris answers and tells me he needs the 3 digit number on the back of my card. I said ok. (I thought it was cool being protective like that, at first) I didn't realize this was a ruse to up-sale me something else. He asked me what camera I have. I said 50D. He says "you don't want that lens because your camera has a cropping factor and you don't get the true aspect" I said I know that. "you want this brand new Sigma digital 10-20mm EX that stays a true 10mm at its widest, but then it goes to 32mm because of the 1.6x cropping factor. You get more out of it. Its $1499 on sale for $689. I said that doesn't make sense. Plus, I didn't research that one so I'm not sure. He then tells me "trust me, i use this lens myself, it's the best lens for that camera, and this is what you want." I said alright, I'll do it..
I'm such a fool.. After I hung up the phone, I felt kinda sick to my stomach. I looked up that lens on the internet and there is a Sigma 10-20mm, EX, but, nowhere does it say that it stays at a fixed 10mm then stretches to a 32mm. That just doesn't make sense. I've been cheated.!!
AND, to top it off.. He charged me $689 for something that everywhere else it's $450 or so. They tried to rip me off $250! That guy is Good!!!
I called back to cancel my order and they gave me such a hassle. They transferred me to someone else. Before I told the new girl that I wanted to cancel. She told me my shipping address didn't match my billing address. " Who lives at my billing address?" I said don't worry about that, I want to cancel my order! She immediately says "it's already been shipped." I said "no It hasn't, then why did you ask to confirm my address! cancel my order!" She says " I have to bring you back to sales." THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS!!
I hung up the phone and immediately called my bank to tell them what's up, and they said there was an order pending for $689. Damn! It went through the next day too!!
So I called back again. this time I said I need to get the tracking number on an order thats been shipped (just to try and throw them off) when he brought up my order, he said it was cancelled. (thank God) I said good, F you guys. but, they still have my money!!!! It took 2 more days to reinstate my credit. But I did get my money back.....
DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS. Thank you guys for posting these reviews, I saw this site and everything everyone says here is spot on!!! I wish i saw this site before I went through that 2 week headache!!"
