"I ordered a SLR camera from this store at a very good price. After I enter the order, I received a e-mail with instructions that I'm going to receive a follow-up call, that in fact I received from a customer representative name Adam. He conformed the order and offered a series of add-ons to me order, whish I refused. I was told that I'll received the camera within two weeks. After two weeks a called and I'm told that the camera is in back order eventhough the web site shows it as in-stock. "

"This company is a SCAM!! Within 5 minutes of placing the order for a camera body, I received a call from their salesman trying to hook me into buying $200+ batteries and $200+ extended warranties. I refused and after the salesman got rude, I asked that the order be cancelled. He told me that there would be a 20% restocking fee, so I told him to just send me the body. He kept trying to sell me the package and eventually said "You've wasted six minutes of my time" and said he would cancel the order. After doing a search of the company online, I promptly cancelled the card I used for the purchase and filed complaints with the NY Attorney General, FTC, and BBB.

STAY AWAY... this is bad news!"

"Check this out. It says they are another name for a company that has loads of bad reviews. If this is true, I'd stay away. Anyone know if the review is correct?

"I placed my order on 2-2-07 for the Canon EOS Digital XTI in black for $395. I should have known by the price this wasn't going to end up a good story!!

I got an immediate email from them saying:

Thank you for your order with us. If you have any questions regarding your order please email our support team at Info@Century21Electronics.com or you can also call 1-800-280-9396 to speak with one of our representatives.

Your order number is : ........ (I erased)

Please allow a minimum of two business days for order processing.
To expedite order processing, please call us at 800-280-9396.
If the address you chose to have your package delivered is different then the address where you receive your monthly credit card statements (billing address) then you must list that address as an alternate shipping address to with your credit card company by calling the customer service number on the back of your credit card. (This is simply a temporary note on your account that will allow us to ship to an alternate address)

Thank you for shopping at Century21Electronics.com


I called them today to check the status of my order. I was told it was on back order for 6-8 weeks. I asked why I wasn't notified by email or phone. He said we just got in today it's only been 1 day. In actuality it was 3 days. I asked will I be getting my order in 6-8 weeks and this guy named "Tommy" said it's canceled. I asked why are you still selling it on your website and he got really rude and didn't want to help me and just said it's canceled. I asked for the manager... HAHAHAHA... He said he was the manager. I said I want to talk to your manager and he said there was no one above him.. right!
I called back and went to the customer service que. Asked the person who the manager was and she said "Scott". I asked to be transferred to him. I was transferred almost 4 times and ended up with "Roy". Roy said that Scott wouldn't be back for 2 wks and that he was another manager. I told him about "Tommy" and he said he can't believe that he would do that.
I asked Roy to help me. He explained the order to me and said it was back ordered and canceled. I asked again why are you still selling them on your website and the response was that they aren't the authorized dealer and don't know when they will be getting them back in.
I asked if they had any cameras available and he said "NO". Interesting that they sell cameras but don't have any available.

I wanted to know who the owner was and he gave me his name and address since he doesn't accept phone calls. His name is:

Mike Lowry
1938 McDonald Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11223

I immediately called and canceled my credit card and got another one issued. These people do not know what good customer service is. I wouldn't buy anything from them. I wished I had seen this site prior to my order.

Good Luck All!!

"I am such an idiot for not checking this site before I ordered. I was so excited about the price, and read the site reviews that were all great. I ordered a Canon xti camera, and like others, was emailed a note to confirm my order. I called to talk to David Weston ("he was personally handling my order"), and was asked if I wanted a battery with the camera. Of course, I thought a battery was included, but said no, I had already ordered a grip that came with two batteries. I was then asked if I wanted the camera in English or Malaysian. Huh?? I cancelled my order when I was told the price for the English version would jump from $439.00 to $699.00. What a joke! I should have suspected - the price was too good to be true. What a scam!!"

"This is not an honorable business. They refused to cancel order 15 minutes after it was placed. They remove included
accessories from product box and charge extremely high prices.
They offer product at low prices but will not sell product unless you order accessories from them. Items are gray market. They have other sites under different names but it is the same company with the same business practices."

"My story is the same after purchasing the Canoon gl2 for a price of 2172.00 I receive an email from Ken (x283) and he starts talking fast and gets my order up to 3900.00! So he says they wont process this order until mon and he would call me to verify. When he calls I tell him I would like to cancel the order because I feel like I am not getting a good deal. He says to me, "I'm not going to let you cancel the order". So I continue to insist on cancelling my order and he eventually hangs up in my face. So I have contacted my bank and disputed the charges as well as called customer service at century21electronics. Jacob answered and said it will take an hour to find the orginial order. I hope my bank resolves this matter for me. This company is not a honest company do not buy from them!!!"

"Make you call before they will ship. Then they put the high pressure on you to buy more, more, more. Seemed like I was talking to an auctioneer - buy now, this deal will not be offered later. Very dissatisfied with this. Told them I would never shop there again."

"Placed an order on-line. The next day, I received an e-mail stating the order would ship in 48 to 72 hours, but to shorten this time, call. I called. Was up-sold on some accessories. As of 2/18, the products still had not shipped. I contacted the office and was told they had no informaiton and to call back on Monday. I tried to get through every day from Monday to Thursday before finally getting a live person (hours are limited to 11a-5p Eastern time and hold times are very long)

The order still had not shipped. I canceled the order. "

"I saw a good deal for Nikon D50 through shopcartusa.com. The rating about century21electronics.com in shopcartusa.com website is always good. I ordered the camera; Customer Service called and told it is backordered and will take 6wks to ship. When I called back and asked him to cancel my order, Customer Service person was harsh and rude and declined to cancel my order. I waited for 6 weeks. No response/shipping. I called again to cancel. Now, they cancelled at last. Cheating site.
Thanks,
Durai"
