"In case the 600 other reviews somehow haven't convinced you, this place is a scam, plain and simple. They're being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal level. Just don't do it."

"I was looking for a new digital camera and had decided on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. Checking the net for best price and found Broadway Photo. Checked ratings prior to ordering and decided to give it a try despite some of the bad ratings, knowing that some people just cannot be satisfied. Received excellent service, no high pressure sales, item shipped and arrived when they said it would. Excellent communication via email to keep me informed of the status. They sent a tracking number via email and I was able to know the exact day that it would arrive."

" Sometime in mid-July this year, I had ordered a power cable to connect my Garnim Nuvi 760 from the body of the unit to my vehicle so that the
GPS would use the car's electrical source instead of GPS's battery. A&M Photo sent me the wrong item. The cable and some other accessories sent were meant to be used for other devices. I had also paid for overnight delivery service as I had a business trip and wanted use the GPS that coming weekend.
The UPS overnight delivery fees charged to me were 2 times the amount normally charged by UPS. So Broadway photo made 100% profit on this fee. I called Broadway Photo explained the error made and also discussed the mailing fees, which I thought was exhorbitant. After some back and forth discussions, the representative informed me that they would credit me for the overnight fees and send me the correct cable connection which was more expensive then the original sent to me and that they would not charge me for the difference. I was of course very happy with this outcome.
Today, I received the "correct" cable and was dismayed to see that it although it was different from the first order it still was not the correct one!!!!!!!! I AM STILL OUT OF HAVING A REPLACEMENT CABLE FOR MY GARMIN NUVI GPS!! Amazing!
I will try this one more time. What I need is a cable that is 5' 5" long; with one end as a small UBS connection and the other end has a 12 volt 4 3/4" long attachment which is inserted into a power source similar to a cigarette lighter. A paper tag attached to the cable has "Garmin GTM 20" written on it and a bar code with #s and letters: 11A955451 below it. And below "REPLACEMENT FUSE F 3A H 250V. On the reverse side E11 / 10R-023487.
Now, I would like to know what I need to do to return this.
Although A&M Photo World cannot complete this purchase for me, they have promised to refund all fees charged for this transaction. Which it is only fair, since both products sent to me were the wrong ones. I do appreciate their efforts to accomodate me financially, but still don't understand their inability to send me the correct item as originally requested.
Sincerely Yours,
Christopher M. Soares"

"I wish we had read the reviews before ordering. My husband tried to call this morning to "confirm" our order and had to leave a message. He called back a second time and they are trying to convince him to order products that are supposed to be included and telling him other things that led him to believe it is a scan. He said he wanted to cancel the order and they placed him on hold. It's now been almost 10 minutes. When that call is ended we are calling our bank to make sure that the charge does not get processed."

"Thank heavens I read your reviews. I almost ordered a camcorder from these people. You saved my a**. They have really good window dressing but they are scam artists. I'm going to NewEgg. They have a great reputation. Cheers."

"THESE GUYS ARE THE WORST - I have purchased everything on the web and this is the worst company I have ever delt with. I wish I had found this site first but I didn't. I placed an order for 3 cameras, 2 flashes and some small accessories. I got the call for a "confirmation" of my order and after three calls, with no call backs from them, I finally got through with a long hold and two hang-ups.

The salesperson confirmed my ordered, try to sell me all of these accessories (many came with the cameras) and when I refused, told me that these were international editions and that if I just took the time to look at the web site, I would see this. I checked the web site and no mention of international edition. He also told me that all of the menus would be in other languages with no English Menu ( a lie ).

I just cancelled the order, wrote a confirming email cancelling the order. Rude, deceptive, bait and switch, etc, etc. The WORST company ever. I've gone back to B & H, paid a little more but got what I wanted professionally. Stay Away from Broadway and affiliated companies"

"I ordered a Canon S5 IS Camera from Broadway Photos before checking all the BAD reviews, the item showed in stock, and the confirmation call I recieved said I WILL recieve my camera in 3 - 5 business days. 2 days went by, so I checked to see if it shipped, I went to track the Order status on there website only to find out the Camera in now on BackOrder and will take 6 - 8 weeks before I will get it. I found the Camera Cheaper and instock at bestpricecameras.com i WILL CALL BROAD WAY PHOTOS ON MONDAY AND CANCEL MY ORDER. Check the reviews before you order anything!!!!!!"

"I ordered a pioneer avic d3 from broadway photo yesterday. I wish I would have read all of the bad reviews before doing so. Luckily, my credit card was not charged with anything as of yet and I called them this morning to cancel my order. Despite what others have said, the rep I spoke with was actually nice and said they will cancel my order no problem. I have to admit he was quick to get me off the phone but claimed to have cancelled my order (I hope) nonetheless. I also notified my credit card company to inform me if any charges under their name come up on my account. I will definitely put more research into who I purchase from from now on."
