I'm glad there are forums like this on the internet (thanks resellerratings.com).
I got suckered in to the expresscamera.com scheme, too. I ordered the camera last night, and a guy from the company called today trying to upsell! He told me that the camera I ordered (Nikon D40X) for $449.99 didn't come with a battery, and it didn't come with a lens mount!!! If I wanted the battery, a charger, and the lens mount he would "throw it in" for an additional $149.99!!! WOW! That adds up real quick. So now my total for the camera was almost $600. Best Buy sells all that for around $700. I was a little frustrated with him so my voice got a little edgy, BUT not very hostile at all. He then proceeds to tell me that "if I didn't calm down, he was going to hang up on my face"! (Whatever that means.) I told him I wanted to cancel the order so he told me that he would charge the cancellation fee, $53.00! I told him nevermind go ahead with the order. Then, I called my credit card company. I told them I wanted them to negate the charges from expresscamera.com. They told me that they had already declined the purchases 2X. THANK GOD! They said that cameraexpress.com tried to run the card for $634.99 (don't know how they got that total), and then when the credit card was declined, cameraexpress.com tried to run the credit card for $500.00. I'm just glad my credit card company knows a scam when I don't. Support your local camera store! Spend a little more money, but get satisfaction.
