"Well, after reading all of the preceeding reviews, I feel as if I've dodged a bullet....or have I?

I responded to an online pricing site that showed a v-e-r-y low price for a Nikon D70s. I quickly found that they 'stripped' the OEM boxes and sell the items piece-meal, so the price did not include any lens, which IS included in the aforementioned KIT. They tried to overload me with accessories at outragious prices, but KNOWING THE VALUE of the individual items, we worked through it. I feel I got a reasonable price for what I agreed to buy, which included an extended warranty which, based on my calcs, I may have paid $30 bucks for.

As for delivery and communication, I didn't receive a tracking number e-mail until I called for it and the item wasn't shipped when promised, but did ship 2 days later. They blamed the delay in intervening holidays, which was a fact (a Jewish holiday bisected the transaction).... once shipped, I receieved the merchandise AS ORDERED, I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!"

"This is strictly for J & K Cameras through their EBay store.

I read many reviews about all of the bait and switch tactics that were being employed by some of these companies. I had picked out a couple of possible dealers when I found they were all listed on this site as pretty much being frauds. I went to EBay to see if there were any deals to be found on there when I came across a package deal with J&K Cameras. The deal was incredible...Rebel XT Digital SLR, 2 gig memory, 3 lenses, 2 cases and a list of smaller accessories. Their feedback rating was over 100% positive with over 4000 responces. So I placed the order. I immediately got an email asking me to call and confirm and got really scared. I went ahead and called and talked to a very nice sales person. He did try to sell me some other items, but I had already priced them and their price was right in line, so I went ahead and got those. In the end, I had the camera as described and 2 extra rechargable batteries and the base grip extender for about $1300. The big news was that in 4 days the package arrived. Everything was new and unopened and works exactly as it should. I couldn't be any happier with the whole experience even though I went in with much trepidation. So, I strongly recommend J&K Cameras through EBay."

"I was very reluctant to deal with this company because of all the bad press on the internet.
I was going to cancel the order until I spoke to Michael Russo, the manager. He was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. He faxed me the information I requested and the deal for my pioneer plasma tv went smoothly. If you do decide to buy from this company make sure you ask questions and know what your buying. This will clear up any misunderstandings. I am very happy with the deal I got, the delivery company was excellent and everything I was told was true. My salesman was Victor and he was terrific. I will buy from them in the future."

"Extremely dissatisfied. I tried buying a video camera from them, after placing the order and getting the verification call they told me that the camera comes with no cables or batteries, and they try to sell those to you at a extremely hi price $400 for cable and battery. Terrible custmer service skills. It's all a big scam. Stay AWAY, FAR AWAY from these people."

"NO THANKS TO BEST PRICE CAMERAS OR EXPRESS CAMERAS! DO NOT ORDER FROM EITHER!

I ordered a Nikon D80 (which was price very low, of coarse). I thought Best Price Cameras was different from the previous order I canceled with ExpressCameras.com the on May 9th, 2007.

I started reading the reviews and forums here which made me sick to the stomach to think someone could steal and have a conscious afterwards. Both companies gave me emails stating that they were "out of stock" of the item and that my credit card was not charged.

Today (5/10/07) I have canceled my Debit Card and requested that my order be canceled. No transactions have been made in my account by either company and I hope to keep it that way.

I would rather be without a debit card for 10 days than have BPCameras steal from my card annually.

THANK YOU Resellerratings.com. I have recently purchased from BHphotovideo.com and am extremely satisfied and with peace in my mind that I will not be stolen from.

NO THANKS TO BEST PRICE CAMERAS OR EXPRESS CAMERAS! DO NOT ORDER FROM EITHER!"

"Thank you to all my scammed predecessors for casting a light on this shady company and advising me on what to do: after my discomfort and suspicion led me to this website, I just cancelled my credit card before the charge was posted, about an hour after THE Confirmation Call. Usual story: my order for a Nikon D40 ended up costing more than double after all the "necessary" added items were pushed on me during that call--shame on me for letting the Mark salesman brush off my feeble protests and request for putting the order on hold for 24 hours while I would do some research... Among other things, he claimed that there were "only 20 minutes left" til the UPS shipment of the day, not to be missed despite my protests to the contrary. By then, he already had my card number and the verification code on the back.

Congratulations to all of you who have filed complaints with the relevant authorities. I count myself lucky but how many more victims is law enforcement going to need before acting on what they know?! "

"These guys are complete assholes! After reading a bunch of horrible reviews I called and after being on hold for a good 30 minutes, a man with a thick brookln accent came on the line. I told him that I would like to cancel my order that I had just made and and he says "why the hell do you want to do that?"
Huh? I said
"yeah you heard me! c'mon speak up why the fuck do you want cancel you order"?
Then he hung up the phone. I Called my credit card company to cancel my credit card. Don't trust these thugs! Too bad these guys are still in business making suckers out of consumers."

"I ordered yesterday a digital HDD Sony camcorder from BestPriceCameras.com, which had a very good advertised price for the Sony HDR-SR11 High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 60GB Hard Disk.

The price advertised was 699.99. I purchased the additional "bronze package" which brought the total to $789.00. I was contacted today by the dealer, indicating that I needed several additional accessories, such as a battery charger (not an upgrade, but the basic charger) and a few other gadgets such as filters and lenses, which would bring the total up to over one thousand dollars. If I did not buy, I would not be able to use the camera. As I declined the additional expense, they said they were going to cancel my order, which I said it was fine. I just wanted you to know that these guys are not serious business people, and they give buying on the web a bad name.

Thank you,

hmalinv"

"Yes, if you order nikon from jandk you will get grey market (imported) equipment. Yes, you will get a call to sell you extras, including service contracts. (Not a bad idea for grey market, but expensive) I ordered a nikon D-80 kit thru e-bay, and after the extra sales call, got the kit as described in about 8 days. The communication is horrid, the online info about your order is non-existent, and the feeling of panic after checking this site is palpable- however, the product is just as described in the ad, and works fine. You MUST read carefully, and not assume anything not explicitly stated, but with that in mind they provide what they say they will."
