"Everyone should know that www.expresscameras.com has registered a new site with a new name www.save-here.com. Check out Whois to see same address and register info. Watch out."

"I am a consumer that likes to purchase online. I signed up for save-here.com to purchase a Canon Rebel Digital Camera, the body only. Not only did I have to wait over 1 hour and 45 minutes for someone to answer their 1-800 number so I could confirm my order, but all they did when I confirmed is give me a sales pitch to buy memory cards and charges. Save-here.com charged me $30 shipping for the Rebel and told me that they would take 3-6 weeks to come to my house.
After emailing them a few times, they did not answer my questions and I called back again which I waited a long time for someone to actually answer the phone. I asked them if the Canon rebel came with the battery which it is supposed to come in the manufacturer's package anyways. The person that answered my inquiry told me "no" and so therefore, I luckily cancelled my order.
The person was not polite and a bit rude. I addressed him as "sir" and I said "thank you very much " but he just hung up on me without saying one word. Don't trust these websites because they are cheap. If you have to call to confirm your order and wait nearly 2 hours to do so just to hear a sales pitch, it is a big scam and I was lucky to cancel my order before they charged my card!"

"I called before ordering a camera (the canon digital rebel, or 300d) to confirm that they had the item in stock. I was assured that it was. When I ordered I got one of those 'call to confirm' emails. When I called, they pressured me to buy memory cards and batteries, telling me there were none included when the camera includes a battery. When I refused to buy accessories, they told me the camera was backordered. I told the salesperson they were dishonest and cancelled my order. What they are doing is illegal in the state of New Jersey (they list a New Jersey address in their contact information on the website). I did send email to the consumer protection office in the State Attorney General's office in New Jersey. Avoid. They are crooks."

"AVOID SAVE-HERE.com!!! Attempted to complete an order for a Nikon D2H digital camera for an amazingly low price. Very wary of "an amazingly low price" as all experienced shoppers should be, and, in this case, for good reason. Extremely low prices for this professional camera are usually gray market, non-English, non-warranty units which no one would want. The Save-Here website gave a little comfort in stating explicity that this item was brand new with a USA warranty. Just so as to not be too naive, I called the company first and verified with an agent that the camera was factory new (not refurbished), had a USA warranty, and came with all accessories. So far, so good... After submitting the order via their website with a notation (thank goodness I did that!!!)of details confirmed by their agent, I received an email of the transaction WITH a note at the botom that I needed to call for a VERBAL CONFIRMATION (?!!!) of the order - which I did immediately. This person stated that regardless of my notation, that the price was for a wholesale body ONLY - NO accessories (battery, charger, etc.) - and then tried to sell the "KIT" for $1000 more. Reading the other experiences here - this seems to be a pattern of deliberate deception!!! DO NOT DEAL WITH SAVE-HERE.COM!!!"

"100% Bait and Switch operation. They list the lowest price on StreetPrices.com. When your order the camera only and do not order their high priced accessories they will tell you the camera is not in stock, it takes a few weeks to get it in even if you confiremed earlier that it is in stock. If you wait a few weeks and call back it is not in stock still and you get the same run around. The last sales guy I spoke with admitted I will never recieve the camera at that price. I canceled my order upon hearing this and the sales person tried to push me into buying a much higher priced camera package.

I filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau http://www.bbb.org I suggest eveyone else do the same."

"I bought something from Blue Stripe Photo.com/save-here.com. I bought a camera and a 5 year warranty. They shipped it through UPS and I was expecting my package to delivered but I guess BSP called UPS for an address change. I don't know why because they had my correct address on file so it was eventually sent to the wrong address and was shipped back to BSP. When BSP ships a product, they send you an e-mail telling you to write a review on bizrate.com. So I wrote a nasty one. They called and they said since they messed up my order they will send me a free 256mb card and also if I change my review on Bizrate.com. I said I will think about it and they said "ok". So they sent me an invoice through e-mail and they forgot my 5 year warranty so I had to call them back and that was when I was sure I wasn't going to change my review. I received the camera, 256sd card and the 5 year warranty. I checked my online statement and it says I have been charged $60 from an associated company w/ BSP. I called and asked why I was charged for $60 (no way should a no name brand slow 256 can be worth $60) and I demanded a refund. They said they are going to charge me for the card since I didn't change my review. I would think since its my opinion of that company and why should I change it if it has bad customer service. I called the Better Business Bureau"

""At first I was worried from ordering from this site, but I needed a new digital camera fast. I ordered the Casio QV-R51 at what is basically the best price I could find at a respectable retailer. The camera was well packaged, shipped on Monday (I ordered on Sunday) and arrived on Tuesday; a day early via the 2nd Day Air option. No issues at all. Exceptional price, service, and quality. Highly Recommended!"

"Having made several online purchases I was quite surprised to find this store (1) friendly, (2)helpful with suggestions, (3)not at all pushy, (4) very courteous, (5) fair prices, (6) answer all questions. This was quite a change from past online purchases from other stores. They WILL get my future business and recommendations to friends."
