"Ordered new camera, received used, dirty camera with serial numbers stripped from box and no original packaging. After returning with terse letter, a full refund (except for my cost of return shipping) was issued."

"Retailer lied about the product being sold. when i called back to discuss this the salesman told me to call back in a week and hung up on me. i called back to receive a confirmation number to return the product and he would not give me one. i would never do businesses with these people again."
"One comment so far and this guy sounds like he owns the company. Anyone else care to chim in on cameraforless.com? (someone that is not a stockholder please!)"
"I bought an Olympus c-5050z as NEW for $574.90 in June 2003. When it needed repair, Olympus told me that it was a REFURBISHRD camera and the REFURBISHED warantee had expired. I am now looking into what action I can take against them."
"Extremely shady. They list cameras as being brand new, factory sealed but when my 5700 arrived and I got suspicious and called Nikon it turned out to be refurbished. They denied this up and down and never finally came clean and admitted it. They also list accessories to buy for your Nikon 5700 and one of them is a 3 year warranty for $48. Great, I thought, and added that to my cart. It is a warranty for a camera under $500. I am in the process of fighting them to try and get the correct one (for a camera under $1,000). All in all the worst company I have dealt with."
"This company has "ZERO" customer service and satisfaction, no return policy even though written on wedsite, refuses to give address for returns and you can not speak to anyone higher than a sales person. The worst on-line experience I have ever had."
"After placing an order for a Minolta Diamge f100 as advertised,I got a call.It wa Camerafoless on fon.I said who what Cameras for less was giving me a follow up call.The call was to buy memory cards batteries camera bag warrenty etc etc etc.I said no thanks and the sales ass. told me the camera was now out of stock. 10 people came into the store to buy one today alone!He said he would send me a new one.I asked Brand new he replied"res ran new>"I then waited 4 days latter i received a brown box with the advertised minolta digital camera in a plastic bag.OK.The owners manuel was highlighted and written all over .I put batteries in the camera and I it got very hot but did not work.It was a defective refurb.I called cameras for less and they said they sell only good cameras.I asked about returns they said listen only good camera good camera.I was hung up on .Anybody that wants to purchase a new camera here go elsewere.If you do not believe me call customer service.Call the 1 800 number and ask if it is a new camera youll get a surprise in the mail.A broken dirty used camera.I will get my money back from these guys they owe me a refund and I will try hard to get my hard earned cash back.After calling Minolta I found out that the camera I had purchased was a Sri lanka refurbished model with parts from viet nam.Not a good expierence to say the least."

"I placed an order for an advertised "BRAND NEW" Nikon Coolpix990 with Nikon 1 yr warranty at cameraforless.com and after 13 days, emailed to see if it was shipped. The camera got sent the next day and arrived 4 days later. The box arrived containing a Coolpix camera, but it WAS NOT NEW. There was dirt on the camera, AC adapter, USB cable, and the CDs were scratched. They included a camera case for 'free' but it has no strap, and the strap that came with the camera is ripped. The English manual is dirty and has penmarks, and the cover is ripped off. While the camera works and the price was good, the Nikon 1 yr warranty is not valid because it is not a new camera. Other (one-star) reviewers of the company have had similar experience. If you are expecting a new camera, don't be shocked when a slightly battered camera appears. They may have good prices and include extra things but the only BRAND NEW thing in our shipment were the batteries and lens cover."
"I placed an order for a Nikon Coolpix 4500 Digital Camera. I used my credit card and ordered online. When they called the next day to verify my order they tried to sell me items that I did not want. So I did not purchase any additional items. Later, they then emailed me and said that their credit card processing was down to pay with Paypal. I could not do this so they canceled my order. When I emailed and asked for email confirmation that my order had been canceled. I never heard from them."
"After you place an order they call you and try to get you to purchase accessories and an extended warranty. If you refuse, your item is out of stock and they only sell "kits" with the warranty included for an additional $50 or so."
