I ordered a Canon XTI camera from wilddigital. Absolutely no problems. Camera arrived within 5 days - brand new - no problems.

I called and got a real person quickly. He was courtious and helpful. When he uggested I buy an extra battery, I declined and he was not forceful.
They did misspell my name and I did not receive a confirmation e-mail or tracking info. When I called a week later they found my order and informed me that it had shioped and would arrive that day.
The item arrived as represented that day via UPS. I would buy from this store again based on my experience. I saved about 25% on a Sanyo camcorder.

Order a Nikon rangefinder. Got an email next day to verify the order which is their method to sell you bogus warranty and ridiculous priced accessories. The guy says the item comes with 3 month warranty when it actually comes with 1 year and says that the battery that comes with the camera only lasts 20 minutes, and tried to sell me both. I kindly declined.
Then it took 3 days after that to ship the item.
In all in all, I got the item at the best price beating the second lowest priced seller Amazon by $60. Not a good buying experience, but that's what you have to endure to get the best value.

Low cost Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2K, 10.2 Megapixel, 4x Optical/4x Digital Zoom, Digital Camera (Black). The camera is a "grey-market" camera. The manual was a reproduction of an english manual, and the warantee is not as good as a domestic model. Wilddigital forces you to call them to confirm your credit card. Then they try to upsell you a bunch of accessories you don't really need. They will even lie to scare you into buying things. example: When I called they wanted me to know the battery that comes with the camera on lasts 20 minutes and takes 8 hours to charge, an outright lie. They were more than happy to sell me an additional battery for $89 that would fix that! Their battery, in addition to being grossly over priced, was a 710mAh battery! Almost half the power capability as the one that comes with the camera! Don't even ask about the $300 SD memory they are trying to sell you, it is only 512MB! a 4GB stick only cost me $50 at Newegg. In short, if you are ok with grey market cameras, thats fine, but don't buy any upgrades from them, it is just a pure rip-off!

The WildDital price of the TV was good but by the time the salesperson suggested the extras it was not a good deal and the extras were of questionable quality. I called the next day to cancel and was told I could not cancel.
I suggest you buy no mounting brackets, cables, or extended warranty from Wild.

I found this site from www.ShopCartUSA.com, where the Nikon D90 I want to order is $936. I called customer service but was told it was $1250. I asked why, the guy said it was $1250 for USA version but $938 for German version. What that means? A German version is in USA. They wanted me to pay $1250 for Nikon D90 that is only $1050 at Amazon.com. I canceled the order. More ridiculous is that I called another company Broasway.com, the same guy pick up the phone and pushed me to order---he did not know I dialed the phone number of different company. The two companies are same and are tricky. Do not waste money and time to deal with them

Since I had had bad experiences with New York based companies before, I called the company first to ensure that the projector I was buying was actually brand new and not refurbished or used. They assured me it was new. I also made sure the shipping was actually included and that there was no sales tax since I was in another state - all that was OK. So, I placed my order for the projector, the amount was $920. Later, they left a message for me saying that I should call about my order. When I called, the man said that since I had a PO box for a billing address I had to list my physical address with credit card company - I assured him that it was listed. Then, he asked me whether I wanted a lamp for the projector!!! I was floored, since they had told me it was factory fresh unit that I was buying, and the factory includes a lamp - I know this because I subsequently checked with the manufacturer and other vendors. So, after adding the cost of the lamp (which the man quoted me as $299) the price of the projector came up to more than I could get at the local Best Buy, even considering the local sales tax.
Naturally, I asked that he cancel my order, and he said he did. I will be watching my credit card statement very carefully over the next couple of months to ensure that this charge does not appear.
Bottom line: this company does what many companies in New York have done in the past. They bait you with a low price, but then they charge additionally for items that are normally included in a factory package. Avoid this scam.

For details, see other previous reviews. This one is not much different. I tried to order a Nikon D40x body only for $316 with free shipping. After having confirmed the order online, all I received was a page with an order confirmation number and a statement with my address - no confirmation of purchased items or prices. However, there was a promise of an E-mail confirmation SOON. Well, the Email confirmation never came. I called them [which was incidentally pure hell, as described by others]. I was told I needed a battery and a charger with the camera. I was offered a "special" price for an add-on package, which raised the total price to about $519, again without itemization. Since I had become suspicious at this time, I checked the typical prices online for a battery and charger, which ran in the $35 range. I called back and wanted to cancel the order and was told it was already shipped. After much back and fourth between credit card company and seller answering machines, I was able to find an unsuspecting phone operator on Sunday morning, who agreed to cancel the order [which was due to be shipped on Monday - illuminating another previous lie]. I pulled a fraud protector on my credit card to prevent all further charges, and I hope this will be the end.....however, I am not convinced.
In essence, NOBODY should have to deal with business practices of this kind. This involves, bait and switch, lies, extortion, intimidation and the complete absence of receipts. If these business practices are legal, I am very disappointed with the system. Another reviewer suggested reporting them to the BBB. I am additionally contemplating a letter to the Attorney General of New York.

We have never experienced such agressive, disrespectful and deceitful behavior with any vendor for any product, in multiple countries, before. My son, under 18yrs, ordered a CanonEOS 450D on line. He ordered nothing else. They called him and hoodwinked him into taking an order from approximately $500 to $900 by convincing him of the need for "essential accesories" My wife phoned within an hour and told them she did not want the order. They advised her it was too late and threatened her with even more charges. Thier bullying tactics are indescribable. She immediately advised me and I called within 2 hours of their original call. I explained the situation to customer service who listened without any advice on how to proceed to cancel all and said I had to speak to the salesman as only he could attend to the issue. He put me into voice mail. I necer heard back. We returned the camera and lost over $100 in the process. Be warned!

Do not buy anything from this company. It is the most unethical company I've ever dealt with. I was recently told I needed a part for a TV I ordered and was charged an additional $129. It turned out that the part came with the TV. You will get no response from this company in terms of customer support. RUN DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS ONE AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!

My experience is identical to those described in detail above, several times. An email arrived asking me to call and confirm my unbelievable good deal. I resisted the sales pitch for overpriced accessories, with a rude reaction from the frustrated boiler room sales jerk. A couple days later the "out of stock" email arrived. I'm just worried that a scam outfit like this has my credit card number. Where else can we report these scumbags? Class action suit?

I recently made a purchase from Wild Digital and would highly recommend people not to buy from this company. I opted for an overnight shipping, which did not happen and was still charged for the overnight shipping. The invoice date, which was 2 days after the purchase date, did not match the purchase date, which is probably why the item did arrive overnight. I e-mailed the company twice about this problem and no response on the e-mails I sent. In their website the company talks about returning e-mails within 24 hrs., which did not happen. Clearly they are avoiding my issue with them.
