I ordered a camera package from saveritephoto.com because it was cheap and I could afford it. I ordered it on November 28, 2010 and have not yet received it. I didn't know you had to call in to confirm, because they send you a confirmation email that just thanks you for the order. I checked back a week later onto their site's order status and it says, "Call to confirm." So I had to hunt around their site to find a number, to which I finally found and confirmed the order on the phone. I assumed the camera came with the battery and everything, only to find that the guy on the phone said it didn't. I told him, "Why would you sell a camera without the battery?" and he tried to sell me the battery and charger separately for an additional $100. (You can find a battery for a Canon t2i for about $30 elsewhere.) I declined and kept the order. Almost a month later they sent me an email saying it would be an additional 6-8 weeks. I replied saying I was hoping I'd have it for Christmas, and asked if it was really another 6-8 weeks since it had already almost been a month, or if I only had 3-4 weeks left. No reply. It's January 3, 2011, and my item is still "backordered". Never buy from SaveRitePhoto or Supreme Camera!

Update: cancelled the order. The guy asked twice what the order number was, and then just said, "okay." no emails to confirm the cancellation, but the site says it's cancelled now. Only wish I could delete my personal information from their website.

Like the other reviewer, I ordered a camera package from saveritephoto.com because it was cheap and I could afford it. I ordered it on November 28, 2010 and have not yet received it.
