"I placed an order for an advertised "BRAND NEW" Nikon Coolpix990 with Nikon 1 yr warranty at cameraforless.com and after 13 days, emailed to see if it was shipped. The camera got sent the next day and arrived 4 days later. The box arrived containing a Coolpix camera, but it WAS NOT NEW. There was dirt on the camera, AC adapter, USB cable, and the CDs were scratched. They included a camera case for 'free' but it has no strap, and the strap that came with the camera is ripped. The English manual is dirty and has penmarks, and the cover is ripped off. While the camera works and the price was good, the Nikon 1 yr warranty is not valid because it is not a new camera. Other (one-star) reviewers of the company have had similar experience. If you are expecting a new camera, don't be shocked when a slightly battered camera appears. They may have good prices and include extra things but the only BRAND NEW thing in our shipment were the batteries and lens cover."
"After doing a few days worth of research I decided on a samsung scd23 digital mini dv camcorder , I was going to buy?but now I needed to find a reliable source to order from. After reading this companies reviews and a few others, I decided to call Cameraforless.com I am happy that I did! I was treated politely and the sale guys know their stuff? all my items came exactly as described over the phone? and I am very pleased, i called samsung to confirm that is has a 1 year warranty because they honor a 1 year warrnty just on new cameras and they said yes! its unbeliveable how they can sell a brand new sealed camera with a 1 year warranty for cheaper from the other sellers on refurbished! "
"No reason to worry when you buy from cameraforless.com. I did anf they truly exceeded my expectations. After I ordered i got an email that provided me with my cameras tracking number. I can not say thank you enough times for the piece of mind this provided me. "
"A++++ Transaction top notch retailer read on..... I shopped the Olympus C750 Ultra Zoom for about 1 month and investigated all of the online outlets. Everyone needs to understand the cheapest price means nothing and can actually work against you. Those cheap outlets are going to try and aggressively sell you accessories that you don?t need and when you don?t bite then suddenly your product is unavailable. Megastore does not do this and I found I actual got more accessories than was advertised. Namely, the RM-1 remote control, which was not advertised as an accessory on their website but goes for $25 dollars on EBAY. I will do business again with this retailer and found the transaction painless with tracking numbers sent instantly and friendly sales staff"

"After you place an order they call you and try to get you to purchase accessories and an extended warranty. If you refuse, your item is out of stock and they only sell "kits" with the warranty included for an additional $50 or so."
We ordered the Panasonic PV-DV53 advertised at $282.90 on 11-17-03. We received a confirmation of this price and the order on the same day. On 11-19-03, we got an E-mail to call the company (our expense, long distance.)
On 11-20-03, I called and after a number of holds, was given a salesman. When he began a pitch, I explained that our budget was strained for this gift, and that we would not be buying anything additional. At that time, he informed me that there was an error in the pricing, "Not our fault." If I wanted the camera, it would be $35.00 more.
When I complained, he hung up on me. On a subsequent call, I cancelled the order, although he claimed that the order had never gone through and that we had never been charged. I hope that this is the case.
Since the advertised pricing on this camera remains (and is as of this writing) $282.90 (the price they claimed was an error), I find it difficult to believe that there was an actual error.
I would urge potential buyers to consider my problem before ordering.
"I bought an Olympus c-5050z as NEW for $574.90 in June 2003. When it needed repair, Olympus told me that it was a REFURBISHRD camera and the REFURBISHED warantee had expired. I am now looking into what action I can take against them."
"have paid Nikon lens 24-120mm USD 381.28 and never got item or money back. Payment was done through Paypal for lens order confirmation # 1359. Promised me several times that lens was sent, didn't never tell AWB # and finally they said lens was lost and would return money. Haver never received money back.
Don't buy by this retailer. It's a big FRAUD only. Will go to police soon.
"Extremely shady. They list cameras as being brand new, factory sealed but when my 5700 arrived and I got suspicious and called Nikon it turned out to be refurbished. They denied this up and down and never finally came clean and admitted it. They also list accessories to buy for your Nikon 5700 and one of them is a 3 year warranty for $48. Great, I thought, and added that to my cart. It is a warranty for a camera under $500. I am in the process of fighting them to try and get the correct one (for a camera under $1,000). All in all the worst company I have dealt with."
"I placed an order for a Nikon Coolpix 4500 Digital Camera. I used my credit card and ordered online. When they called the next day to verify my order they tried to sell me items that I did not want. So I did not purchase any additional items. Later, they then emailed me and said that their credit card processing was down to pay with Paypal. I could not do this so they canceled my order. When I emailed and asked for email confirmation that my order had been canceled. I never heard from them."
