"Calumet advertised in online newsletter a price for a new tripod and head including an expiry date. They would not honour this price despite having stock. I fully accept this is the right of a vendor - i.e. the situation has changed. My annoyance has been the attitude of the Glasgow store and the fact that despite contacting customer services twice I have had no reply. Poor service. No future custom. "
"I placed an order for a camera and lens package. The web page said to call for quantity on hand. The day after placing my order I received an email saying the item was backordered. I sent an email to the webmaster (who sent the backorder email) asking to cancel my order. I received no response. I then sent an email to customer service, which I should have done in the first place, asking to cancel the order. I received a reply the next day saying my order was cancelled."
"I recently ordered the Canon EF24-70mm f2.8 L series lens from Calumentphoto.com. The ordering process was straight forward and although I ordered it on-line in the early afternoon, the item was picked and shipped on the same day. I received the lens 2-days after placing the order on-line.
In addition, Calument Photo was running a Summer sale, so I received a $75 discount on the lens plus free shipping. I actually called B&H prior to placing the order, however they wouldn't budge from the $1399 price.
Overall, my experience was excellent. Easy ordering, quick shipment, good communication and excellent price.
"I recently ordered a Canon EOS 60D on-line. The order process was very simple; I immediately received an order confirmation, and then received a separate shipping notification on the same day. I received the camera two day after ordering it. By the way, none of the main competitors (B&H, Adorama, etc.) had the body in stock and Calumetphoto.com offered a “summer” discount which made the total cost $40 less than the others with free shipping included. Oh yeah, I also received a free 8GB memory card. I’ve read the recent reviews which were not very favorable, however my experience has been top notch."
"Pathetic. I should have heeded the reviews and not ordered. Calumet simply took my money, waited a week and then emailed me that the product was no longer available and that my credit card would be refunded in a few weeks. Haven't got my money back yet.
"I ordered a tripod last Dec. It has been back ordered. I called numberous times, the sales person always gave me different reasons or promised to call me back but they didn't. I still haven't got the tripod yet. What should I do?"
"I'm a loyal Adorama/B&H online customer, but once in a while I like to give another a guy a chance. Unfortunately, Calumet and the Boys from Chicago who are allways complaining about NYC don't seem able to or just can't compete with these 2 major retailers. 3 out 4 orders from their store seem to be screwed up. Most recently, I ordered a Calumet 40" Double-Riser Stand Kit with GripHead and Arm, Silver. You would think the word "silver" would give the "Duh" guys in the shipping department a hint instead they sent me a regular Black Light Stand instead of the turtle stand they have advertised another item was back ordered for 2-6 weeks ! Now I have to ship the item back and wait for a replaceent. This is so inconvenient. Sounds like the Ol' bait-and-switch."
"Should have reviewed this reseller before ordering D7000 and lens from them. No wonder Calumet does not participate at reseller rating to monitor feedback, because they don't care to improve their service.
I ordered D7000 and lens in November. They charge the full amount to my credit card, and did not ship out the camera until Feb. I already told them many times not to ship out the lens since I don't have the camera to test. It turned out the lens had problem and they refuse to exchange.
I won't do business with Calumet again. They have very bad business practice and poor customer service. Go with B&H photo and Amazon for your photo equipment"
"I ordered a canon rebel t2i camera kit in December 2010. Since the kit was on backorder I asked if they would honor the price at the time I ordered. I was told they would. The price drop at that time amounted to $250. When the camera finally got to calumetphoto the last week of January they charged my credit card the original price plus the $250. When I called to question the extra charge they told me they wouldn't honor their original price. This was my first and last experience with this company.
"refused to exchange un-opened film that I ordered 120 instead of 35mm . I thought I was buying thru Amazon but they sent the order to Calumet. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
