"do not shop at this place I placed a order towards the end of april and i got a email from them confirming the order it said they would call me to confirm i never did get a phone call in the next 2 days so i called them and they said that it was back ordered and would ship in 6-8 weeks i called today (5-13-07) to check on the status of it and it was canceled due to price increase of the camera and they already have my money and im out $250 go somewhere else"
"We were lied to and told that the Nikon D80 was in stock and would ship tommorow. Three days later we were told that the camera would be in stock in 3-4 weeks, and that we needed to buy a $200 battery that "only their store" sells. I bet we will never see this camera, and they are scamming to sell more merchandise. DONT ORDER FROM THEM!! STAY FAR AWAY!!"
"If you are reading this review before buying you will do yourself a great favor by finding someone else to purchase from. This company lies, sends incorrect product, berates you on the phone and never answers emails. I paid $800.00 extra to be sure I was getting a USA model Nikon camera and they shipped me the grey market camers. The grey market camera sold for far less money because it was not covered under warranty by Nikon. I was lucky enough to call Nikon and have them check my serial number as a valid number....they informed me I had a grey market camera. I called Banana Boat to infom them and told me to ship the camera back and they would ship out a USA model immediately upon receiving the one I shipped. I week later I called for a status and they informed me they did not have and could not get a USA model. I demanded a full refund but they said I would have to pay $200.00 for returning the camera and restocking fees. I went online and found the Federal Trade Commission rules and they are not allowed to send you different item than what you ordered without your permission. Once I copied and sent the rules to them they managed to come up with a USA brand camera. Of course I paid for 3 day shipping and did not have a camera for 2 weeks and they would not credit me the shipping difference. STAY AWAY....RUN FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They were rude, liars, and a horrid company to do business with. I will also be reporting them to the Consumer reports, Better Business bureau and Federal Trade Commission."
"Its the worst store i have ever talk to, they treat you really bad, and they dont even give you chance to talk or explain your concern, or if you have a question i really dont recomend you to buy here"
-"u know what dummy, I cant waste my time with stupid people like you ok? by bye monkey"-
I ordered a Rebel xti to be delivered in a 2 day shipping. At the next day I got an email asking me to call for confirmation of the order. So I called and at first I was told that I needed tu purchase a battery and a charger, otherwise my order will be cancelled, i already had both and told them to send me the order as it was at the beggining and suddenly I was hung up. I called again, pissed of already, and asked only if the order was really cancelled or if they would send me the camera as I requested, and the person attending me said: "u know what dummy, I cant waste my time with stupid people like you ok? by bye monkey" I really don't recommend in any way this, in fact it must be really sued! It must be closed and blacklisted. "
"I did a lot of price research and ordered a Canon Rebel XTi from Banana Boat Camera. On Jan. 16th I called and explained their web site gave me no info for the order. The rep asked if anybody had called and then transfered me. The customer rep I was transfered to asked me what my problem was. I asked if the unit had shipped and received a "No.". I then canceled the order. I was told I would receive a cancelation Email but as of several hours later I have not seen one.
I will not attempt to do business with them in the future!"
"Absolutel the worst Store Ever. I should have come here and checked before I purchased. The rudest sales person trying to cross sell me things I did not need . And then when I got fed up and canceled my order, threatened to charge me 150.
"THIS IS THE LETTER I JUST EMAILED THEM: I believe I have been scammed by your company. On 11/11/2006 I placed a confirmed order for two Nikon D80 cameras and have periodically checked each week to find out the status of the order. I was told it was in the works and would be in. I called up the order tonight and it read "This order has been cancelled". I run a company Howard Productions and have been counting on these cameras. I'm sure you will reinstate this order and contact me on the delivery date. Sincerely, Carl Howard"
