"I rarely submit reviews on the web, but this time I felt the service warrants it.
I was came upon their website upon getting some recommendations for camera shopping in Canada. Their price for the camera I was looking for was the lowest I could find, and, of course, they don't charge PST, which was a big selling point. You get the full Canadian warranty and end up paying up to 8% less than a local store.
The service was impecable. From the initial contact to the completion of the order, I felt that I was dealing with professionals. My order (a fairly significant one) was shipped on the same day and I received it two days later. Well packaged and in perfect condition.
I'll deal with these guys again without any hesitation. "
""The Camera Store" in Calgary, AB is the Canadian equivalent of the highest level of customer service, pricing and experience that B&H Photo set in the USA.
They have the lowest prices in Canada (minus the scammers) absolutely amazing and helpful customer reps and super-fast shipping (for free!!).
I ordered a Sony 16-80mm Carl Zeiss lens for my Alpha DSLR, and although the price has risen (in CND$) from the previous week (the yen went up), they still price matched my order to the old price and I got it for C$699, which is US$550, less than what a used such lens sells on ebay!
Not only that, they have free shipping and they shipped with XPress Post (the fastest and most expensive Canada Post service) and I had the lens in two days from the order date!!! Amazing!!
Canadians, this is your best deal for photo purchases, no need to underdeclare ebay packages from the US anymore. 'The Camera Store' has the lowest prices and the best service in Canada and all products come with full Canadian warranty.
"I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the lens I have purchased from The Camera Store. First of all, the prices are low and no PST. The shipping was free and very quick. In fact, they got my order completed the same day, and then shipped/delivered to my address in Ontario from Alberta in about 24 hours!!! The box was very well packed. I highly reccommend this seller, without any hesitation at all."
"Very good service. Price was good on a 50D shipping was included and it arrived well packed and very quick delivery. Had a problem with web site but just phoned their toll free number."
"- Reliable - Cheap - You only have to pay 1 tax if you order outside of Calgary - Very satisfied customer service that provide you update status of your back order. - They use CanadapostXpress to deliver their orders. Flat rate is only $10CAN very cheap and fast. Took them 16 hours to ship from Calgary to Vancouver. No extra handling charges. - I'll definitely go back to make another purchase in the future."
"I very much like the store. Their prices are very competitive in the Canadian market, and if the price is higher, they make up for it by the fact that Alberta has no PST--so it's automatically 8 percent lower than had you purchased this in, for example, Ontario. The shipping rate is 10$ flat per order (not per item). This is awesome, because if I order 5 lenses, I get the items shipped to me for 10$. The store is very quick at processing credit cards, and customer service is top notch. If I were to cite one problem, it is their outdated and not frequently updated website: it has no information on whether items are in stock or not. This should be update! Aside from that, excellent place to buy, if you're adamant about buying from a Canadian retailer. "
"The price is very competitive, and there is no PST because the store is located in Alberta. No problem with website and transaction. S&H is flat rate $10 within Canada! Item arrived on time (regular mail not courier), new as promised. Very good experience overall!"
