"I ordered a lens for a big fashion show on 3/19 early in the day and the charge went thru on my credit card right away and the bank confirmed this. I ordered it Next Day Air and paid the extra cost. 47th Street Photo waited till 3/21 to ship it and it arrived after the photo shoot. When I called they lied and said the charge didn't't go thru till 3/20 and then they decided to wait another day to ship. I asked for a simple refund of the shipping charges and they told me they had sent it next day air and didn't't take responsibility for waiting two days on a RUSH shipment. Great price on the lens but not worth the savings when it arrived after it was needed."
"Charged 15% restocking fee for a returned unused lens. I never opened the box, never touched the lens or removed any contents and the customer service rep wanted a 15% restocking fee. The best they would do would be give me a store credit. Contacted my credit card fraud department for the refund. Never again.103-7657317-7737861"
"Ordered a camera from these guys on eBay. While it clearly states 24 business hours delivery, five days later and they still haven't shipped. Called them yesterday and they gave me the "48-72 business hours" turn around time. For a bit more better stick with the big guys like Adorama and B&H. Never heard of 47street before and now I know why. Bunch of amateurs. "
"Hadn't dealt with the company since one good experience back in the 1990s, but memory persists. Ordered a Canon Rebel T3 bundle via 47th Street Photo' on Amazon and everything arrived promptly, carefully packed and exactly as ordered. Only after I received my order did I look at 47th St. Photo's online reputation and find that it was sketchy. Well, not for me, these folks seem just fine. "
"Estoy utilizando actualmente el adaptador y el lente 10 X HD, creo para alguien que no es profesional le puede resultar muy interesante y entretenido capturas fotos con nuevos detalles."
"I ordered an Opteka telephoto lense for delivery to my US address as I live in Canada in a border town. The lens was not available in Canada. Delivery was quick and uneventful and I am very happy with the product. Thank you 47th Street Photo.
"I bought a camera lens and a flash from 47th Street Photo. They were quick and my equipment works perfectly. Both were bought at a great price. I will buy from them again."
"42nd street photo are Classic bait and switch scammers. Also, be aware if you tell them to cancel your order they will threaten to charge you a "cancellation fee" and/or lie that the item has "already shipped, you will have to send it back and pay a restock fee". Real scumbags. They post on their website cameras have a usa warranty but be aware they are not factory warranties. They are 42nd street store warranties" which are worthless. they are selling grey market items and being deceptive with the "usa warranty" and they will tell you "well it IS a usa warranty since we are in the USA but it is not a factory warranty". They will try to sell you the items that come in the factory box as "extra's" and lie and state they are not included. It also appears they post false positive feedback on here to try to keep their rep up. I just disputed the charge on my card since they tried to scam me.
Cancel your order, dispute the charge. I plan to screen capture their website and report them to the BBB and contact a lawyer.
Click on the names of the positive reviews, you will see that is the only review they have posted on here. VERY suspicious isn't it! Also, google "42nd street photo scam" and you will see all the people they have ripped off. Heck, one of their former owners was indited for fraud! "

"Quick, courteous and fantastic service!! When I placed my order I entered a P.O. Box along with the street address since I was having it delivered to my workplace, not realizing that by entering a P.O. Box it disqualified my order for free shipping. I went ahead and placed the order, but thought it was odd. I contacted them via email and they replied back quickly explaining my error, and they graciously refunded the shipping even though it was my fault. I will be doing business with them again!!! Great Customer Service!!!"
"Great service and fast delivery. I live in Canada and I received my item in 2 days!!!!! Marvin was super nice and I appreciated his knowledge and great customer service. Definitely order again! cheers from Canada!"
"I normally dont write reviews, but your service and prompt order fill out-performs other vendors. I ordered a wide-angle lens for a Sony CyberShot and you had it shipped in less than a day and it fit the camera perfect and looks sharp. You do know your stuff and will have you at the top when ordering camera stuff in the future"
