"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."

"Put my order in for a Nikon 4800 coolpix camera on 11/6. Received thank you email. Email had nothing about shipping or in/out of stock. 11/10 got the call to confirm the order and also tried to sell me expensive accessories. I was patient and just said “No thank you” about 12 times. I checked the order online again and it had gone up by $5 from the original grand total.? Sent email 11/23 to sales asking for approximate date of delivery. No response back. I was patient till 12/3 and canceled order via sales and that only took 3 hours to happen. Go figure. I need this camera to be under the tree at Christmas."

"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!!!!"

"Attempted to purchase a Dimage A2 for $570-good price for new. Placed order on Nov 13. On Nov 18, I was contacted by phone to "confirm" my order--sales guy attempted to sell multiple accessories. He stated camera battery only lasted "15-20" 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." After reviewing all negative reviews, I got cold feet. Called back on Nov 24 and was told camera was "in shipping." Cancelled my order, didn't have faith store would stand behind its product."

"I was very pleased with the sale process and shipping, pricing, etc.... I purchased a sony vx-2100 on Tuesday at 4:30 pm and got it the next day at 10 am. Sales person sold me the warranty, a little persistent and 300 bucks later I had myself a 4 year warranty through repaitechinc.com total including camera and all accesories, NDA shipping and warranty was 2450.

Not bad considering that if I had purchased locally in CA I would have paid 2699+ tax (7.75%) w/ out extended 4 year warranty."

"SCARED OFF: After a few warning signals went off, I cancelled this $640 order.

- Promised e-mail confirmation never came, even after 16 hours.
- No order number was given until I cancelled.
- Web site recognized my e-mail address and said it was sending my password, but none came.

*If they had a better reputation, I would have given them a chance. I just couldn't risk getting the item held up late. "

"I purchased a Canon Powershot Pro 1 Digital Camera from Stop4Camera and the deal could not have been easier or have gone any smoother. I talked with Bob and he was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. He assurd me the Pro 1 they were selling was the retail box with all of the Canon supplied accessories. He was not pushy and told me several times to call him if I had any questions and or problems.

I placed the order and he did offer me some special deals on some other accessories I might need with the camera. He did'nt push the deals on me and I ended up purchasing an extra battery and a 5yr extended warranty for the Pro 1. As a matter of fact I told him I wanted to keep my cost down and he dropped the price of the warranty $25! I placed the order on Fri. Oct.29th and he told me it would ship on Monday Nov. 1st and arrive on Friday Nov. 5th. It did like clock work! Way to go Bob!

I would definately shop with Stop4Camera again if I have any future photographic needs and I will reccomend them to others! Two thumbs up!!"

"Stop4Camera certainly has low prices- but if you never receive the merchandise that doesn't count for much. After some research, I ordered a digital video camera with 3-day delivery for my husband's birthday. A "customer service" (read: sales person) called me several days later to "confirm my address" (which their ordering system had somehow jumbled) and see if I was interested in purchasing a few more items. I declined and he assured me that though it had already been 4 days since I placed my order that the camera was on the way. On day 8 after receiving nothing I placed a call to them, was transferred around until my call landed in shipping and receiving & was then told they did not have the item in stock. I asked to have the order canceled-I am also going to ask my credit card company to stop payment since they will probably try to charge a "cancellation fee"."
