"After finding an unbeleivable price on a camcorder I placed the order in late December, they called me a few days later to "verify" all my information and to try and sell me all sorts of accessories. I kindly declined all the extras and they said that everything was fine with my order and I would be getting an email when the camera shipped. Two weeks later still no email so I checked the order status online and it was still processing. I than called in and they said the camera was on backorder and they did not have any clue when it would come in. I decided to wait another month and called back in and they still had no timeframe. In the meantime the camera I ordered was back on their website at a price of $150.00 above the "great" deal I got. I finally cancelled the order and have since bought elsewhere. Be very aware of this shady store. "

"I Ordered a CANON PowerShot A640 12-30-2006 from this store and received an email 01-03-2007 saying the following:
Thank you for your most recent order with us.
Your order is now with the billing department, and prior to shipping your order out, we need you to get in touch with us to confirm some details.
Please contact one of our representatives.
It is a pleasure to serve you and we hope you visit us again soon.
So I called and they tried to sell me from A to Z of accessories which I declined for about 10 minutes and then the sales person confirmed that they were going to ship the camera.
I have written the numerous emails regarding my order to get the to tell me if they are out of stock or what the reason for this hold up is and no reply.
It is now 01-18-2007 and still not a word and my order is still in the state of processing, I.e. they could not sell me anything additional than the camera and then they obviously do not want to sell me the camera.
So I would advice any one to stay away from this site, since it looks like if you do not call and buy x number of extra items for a much higher price than any where else you are not getting the camera.

"I ordered a Sony DVD Handycam right after Thanksgiving. They called to try and sell me accessories. We played telephone tag for a few weeks, but when they got me on the phone, I politely declined any additional accessories. They confirmed my shipping address and said it would ship and that it would require a signature upon delivery. I waited and it never came. I contacted them and they told me it was backordered until January. The employee who said it would ship didn't know this? I decided to wait for it because the price was so much lower than elsewhere. well it's January so I contacted them and they cancelled my order. Do not do business with them. they are just trying to scam people it seems. "

"This is a bait an switch, upsell company. All accessories for the Sony camcorder I ordered were double or triple the price anywhere else. I tried to cancel the order twice, 4 days before it shipped, but they shipped it anyway and wanted to charge 15% restocking fee for an item I cancelled. After offering me more accessories "free", I agreed to accept the camera. The customer service guy was very rude, and high pressure sales. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with them, or zcamera warehouse (shipping department)."

"DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!They show low price then try to sell u 10x overpriced accesories. When I told them I only wanted a camera they said it would be two weeks before I get the camera and I said OK. I called 12-28-06 to check status and they told me the camera was out of stock and I told them to cancel the order. I will never buy from them ever again. If you do not buy extra over priced items they will not sell you the camera for the advertised price.

"BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUY´S!!!

READ MY POST BELOW; AND BE AWARE THAT I HAVE ALSO JUST FOUND OUT FROM THE N.Y.ÁTTORNEY´S OFFICE THAT ALL POSITIVE REVIEWS BELOW HAVE BEEN PLACED BY EMPLOYEES OF THE STORE ITSELF. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SCAMMER´S!!!

I ordered a camera online from them, after being told they had it in stock. Two days later, when I refused to buy any of their overpriced options, I was told that the camera was on backorder.

It has been 3 weeks now, and every time I call them they say it is coming in tomorrow. I am going to sue this company, I have already reported it to the Better Business Bureau, and to the N.Y. attorneys office (they told me they are already investigating them through their Internet taskforce and will go after them).

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!!"

"Before made order, I called to Stop4camera, "John" said the camcorder SONY HDR-SR1 which I ordered is available, than, I made order at Nov. 2, the second day John called me confirmed the order and push me buy extra stuff like extra battery... he said the manufacture package battery is only last 25 Min. but I check the Sony’s web, it states 2.5 hr. I refused to buy the extra stuff. He said I could get the order 7-14 day. But it's 11 days after order, I didn't get the shipping confirmation email, I called back they said it is not available, and they don't know when it's available. So, I canceled the order!
(I assume if I agree to buy overprice battery and the extra charger, they can sell me the camcorder.)

"Paid over $200 for 2nd day delivery. Took a week to receive item.
Ordered an additional OEM battery, received third party goods.
Seller offered a 512MB flashcard as compensation. Received three weeks later. Prices good; communication needs improvement. Would probably buy here again."
