I have nothing but positive things to say about Camera Kings. Given that they're an electronics store based in Brooklyn, and the poor rep associated with that, I was leery of ordering with them at first. I took the chance based on the 4 positive reviews I saw earlier and I'm an totally satisfied with the result.

On Aug 10 I placed an order online for an Olympus SP590UZ (digital camera) from them. I received my order confirmation email a few minutes after placing the order. I was actually expecting someone to call me the next day and try to pressure me into buying accessories, but that never happened. I actually got antsy and called Camera Kings on Aug 12 to check the status of my order. I called at lunchtime, but got the answering machine so I left a message with my order number. A guy called me back 3 hours later and confirmed the item, the price and the shipping info. Then he asked me about accessories but there was no pressure to it. He didn't try any forceful sales tactics. It was a quick, easy conversation.

The following day I received the shipping notification email along with a confirmation number. The camera came a week later, on schedule. I got to use it last night and everything is in order. It's the legit US packaging, not any gray market overseas stuff.

I am very happy with Camera Kings. I absolutely recommend them and would buy from them again in the future.

All in all a smooth transaction. Meritline had a good price. My item (an SD card) came securely packaged and quicker than I expected.

There was one thing I didn't like with Meritline's order process. When you choose what shipping method you want to use, you don't get to see the cost of shipping until after you choose it. So lets say you want to compare the cost of ground shipping with 2-day shipping. First you must select one, submit your choice and look at the order summary page. Then you have to cancel the order, go back to your shopping cart and start the checkout process again so you can re-select another shipping method. That's annoying.

Other than that checkout issue, everything was perfect.

Happy with purchase. Received my order well packaged, and faster than I expected. Apparently they consider priority mail to be standard USPS shipping.
