Horrible customer service. I ordered a camera with a free-after-rebate printer last night. Almost immediately I realized that the camera was backordered so I used the online chat and canceled the ordered. This morning I found out the camera order was canceled but the printer has been shipped. The printer costs $90 and the rebate is valid only with a in-stock camera. Incompetent bastages!This review was modified by its author, ariucr, on

I ordered a Canon 5D Mark II April 13 2009. It's still back ordered 8 weeks later on June 11, 2009. Two weeks ago they told me it would be shipped within the week. What's up with this? Do they owe Canon so much money that Canon is not fulfilling orders?

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but the below response doesn't
give me any firm answers. Considering that and the fact that nothing has
changed in my order status in an extended period of time, how do I
cancel this order?

Subject: Order status
I placed an order on 6/4 on Buy.com, order # . My concern is
that the status has not changed from "processing" in the last 5 days. On
the website it is stated that the product was in stock and orders ship
in 1 to 2 business days. When will this item ship?

I placed an order for a camera with lens only to be harassed by customer service for the credit card info. First was an email I had to call in or the order would be canceled. When I called in they wanted me to call my credit card company and verify my mailing address. I had to call them back within a half hour. I called the credit card company then called Ritz customer service again, total time on the phone 55 minutes. Two days later another email stating if I did not call in the order would be canceled within 14 days. I called in and this time I had to call my credit card company and verify Ritz Camera could charge my card for the total amount (a large amount). I had to call the credit card company within a half hour and then call Ritz back and tell them I have done this. I did this but protested the harassment for a single purchase. Total time on the phone...1 hour 10 min. To purchase, proof I had a mailing address and to verify I was able to charge the large amount I was on the phone over 3 hours with this company. THEN to be told the item is on backorder and they do not know when the item will be shipped. I asked why was I told to verify the large purchase with my credit card company if the item was not there to be shipped? I canceled the order. When I googled "backorders from Ritz" I found they are having financial problems. I doubt any company will be fulfilling orders if Ritz owes them money. I canceled this order.

This is the second time this has happened. I place an order for an "in stock" item. Weeks go by. I ask what the status of the order is. They assure me (in a standard, boilerplate form) that "each and everything is fine with your order" but as the item ships from a distribution center they cannot track it. Weeks go by. Then the order is cancelled because they no longer carry the item.
Clearly they have no idea of what's actually happening. Customer service is a complete waste of time, though I'm sure it's because they don't have any actual information to give you.

Lousy customer service....Likely the worst online purchasing experience I've had. Their call center is located in India. First off, they needed my correct credit card billing address, so I had to call them back. It took me 30 minutes to get through to someone to give them the correct address. But they couldn't verify it immediately--I had to wait 24 hours for the system to verify it.
The next day, they called three times and left messages. Again I called back--30 minutes on hold before I connected with someone--to verify the billing address, which I know is correct since I've used it dozens of times before.
I was told anew that the billing address didn't match the one they had on-file, despite having already given them a new one.
So I gave the correct address--yet again--but the customer service rep. still couldn't verify whether my order would be shipped or not.
At that point, I lost faith in their system. If a corporation truly cares about customer service they wouldn't outsource their call operations to India; they wouldn't make a customer wait 30 minutes to get through to someone; and they should have some way to immediately correct shipping/billing information.
Lousy job, Ritz.

I ordered a Sony A350 bundle with an 18-70, 55-200 lenses and a grip on April 30. Site said it would take up to 2-3 weeks until shipment as it was not in stock. Item shipped on May 4. Other than a couple of emails to resolve questions from my credit card company, there were no attempts to get me to add additional items. Package arrived when promised. Am very happy with this experience.
