Blatant bait and switch operation.

I wish I had read the previous review before ordering from this company. I found a great deal on a Nikon Zoom 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Autofocus Lens.

I received an email to call to verify my information, "for my security". When I called, I was informed of the plastic ring, and was offered the opportunity to upgrade to the metal version, which I declined. I was offered filters for purchase, I declined. He was forceful in trying to convince me of that I needed the more expensive metal version, which he mentioned was not mentioned in the website. When I declined all the upgrade offers he, he asked for my credit card security code, which I gave him, and he thanked me for my purchase.

Immediately after I hung up, I received an email from Lenses N More telling me that the lens was back ordered for 3-4 weeks. I got back on the phone and told them to cancel the order.

I received an confirmation email telling me that they would inform me when the item was back in stock.

I'm not taking any chances. I've informed my credit card company to cancel the card and issue a new number.
