"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. "
"They delayed my canon s500 camera delivery to try to sell me extra accessories. Then they said that I could have my camera shipped on time if I ordered the extra kit. Otherwise, my camera would not be in stock for 2-3 weeks.
Total Scam Artists. I worked with them for 11 days until I finally cancelled my order. They would not deliver low priced camera without selling you over- priced accessories.
"DISAPPOINTED! Ordered phone; salesrep Mike called & gave HARDSELL of accessories, batteries,etc. Stated $400 rebate and they'd ship Mon Dec 13 as cameras were IN STOCK. we declined accessories - called Evening Dec 13: Chris said the slaesrep was mistaken and cameras won't bw instock for at least 10 working days. We CANCELLED ORDER. TSK TSK - SHAME ON THEM!!!! What's with the NY HARDSELL attitudes?????"
"Terrible experience with Stop4Cameras. First and last purchase. Stick with someone who isn't working bait and switch.
After filing complaint with NY attorney general and another buyer evaluation service (who rated them much higher) I finally got the camera in mid-February. I suspect if I hadn't done the due dilligence thing with regulatory officials I'd still be waiting.
These guys don't deserve anyone's business. Buyer beware."
"Attempted to purchase a Sony Cybershot DSC F717 for $514.99 which appeared to be a decent price, and the place was one of the few Brooklyn camera shops that did not have a bad BBB rating. Placed order on Nov 23, then I was contacted by phone to "confirm" my order--and of course I got the hard sell loaded with erroneous information. He stated camera battery only lasted "30" minutes and I should purchase a spare for ~ $100 (Review sites state battery lasts >450 shots!). I declined all offers and was told camera would arrive in "7-14 days." Of course I felt as if I was dealing with Lucifer himself, so I gave them a couple of days waiting for my order to be something more than "processing" and then i got the e-mail saying it was backordered. The truth is, if you don't pay these criminals an outrageous sum for the extras, you are not going to get anything at all. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!"

"The reviews are completely accurate. Though I wasn't hassled to buy any products other than a battery I didn't need, I did receive an email response (that was supposed to be a shipping receipt) 10 minutes later explaining that my product was on backorder. If you plan on buying a product and a lot of accessories, these types of stores are right for you. Otherwise, try other guys in the NY/NJ area like electronics expo as I have just done thanks to pricegrabber's great reviews. I paid $25 more and it just goes to show how much the other guys charge for shipping. Stop4Camera charged $29.99 (yes I know this is how they are making their money) where the other place only charged $9.98 which is the true UPS price (My dad own a UPS-type store). Read the reviews, people aren't lying."
"Before placing my order for a Nikon D70 digital slr camera, I called this merchant to confirm availability and was told that it was in stock and if I order today (Thursday December 16th) it would ship tomorrow (Friday December 17th). I immediately placed the order on their website. When I received no confirming email by Sunday (12/19), I called the merchant again (they are closed on Saturdays) to find out if they had shipped on Friday as promised. The guy said that they only ship the next day if you order by phone rather than internet (I had not been told this), but since I was calling now (Sunday) the order would ship tomorrow (Monday). The guy located my order and then informed me that they will handle the Nikon rebate and "save me the trouble." I've never heard of a retailer doing this so my warning flags went up. I then got the hard sell for accessories and extended warranty, all of which I declined. After declining the additional items, I was informed that the order would not ship tomorrow as promised earlier in the call, that it will now take 7-10 days. I immediately cancelled the order. From reading the reviews on this site, this seems like a fairly common slimy tactic. I then searched for another seller and after reading the reviews and comparing prices, I ordered the camera from Buydig.com and am hoping for better treatment from them."
"bunch of scammers, DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they show low price then try to sell u 10x overpriced accesories. First of all, battery and charger comes with every new camera so don't gime me sh.. that it doesn't. Second, I can get any 2gb memory stick of eBay for less then $20 and they try to sell it to me for $200, 1000% profit, that's nice, AVOID THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I placed an order with 3 days shipping for a Canon EOS 20D with 18-55mm lens on Dec. 14, 2004. My order shows on the account as processing. However, the Stop4Camera has never done anything on my order. I sent 4 emails to request them to fill my order as soon as possible, they read it but nothing his been done. Stop4Camera also jacked up their price for the Canon 20D with 18-55mm lens from $1289.99 to $1379.99. Watchout, sellerratings shows that only people bought their expansive extended warranty received their order. A store like this should be taken out from market. BBB shows 3 settlements in the past 24 months.
Stop4Camera called me on Dec. 19 that the camera will arrive on Dec. 22. The sell associate asked me to stay home waiting for the delivery. I checked the Stop4Camera web site. The web site still indicated the order was in processing. On Dec. 22, the Stop4Camera failed to deliver as promised. I called the Stop4Camera on Dec. 30. Stop4Camera associate Mr. John wanted to sell expansive accessories and extended warranty in order to push the back order to delivery as a package. I filed a complaint to the BBB.com. If you did not get what Stop4Camera advertised, you should file a complaint to BBB.com. This is not the right way to do business online."

"Ordered a Digital Camera. Order never shipped on time. Called to see what happened, and a sales rep gave me a sales pitch to buy other products, such as accessories and extra warranty. After I told him I didn't want any (15 minutes after) the agent got quite frustrated and hung up on me. After 4 more days of order processing, order never shipped and I canceled the order. I guess they just want to sell you more stuff and if they can't, they just don't ship the original item ordered. "
