DO NOT ORDER FROM Abe's of Maine
I agree with another reviewer, they give the State of Maine a bad rap. I had ordered a camera lens from another retailer, it was out of stock with no available ship date so I was on the waiting list. Was excited to see Abe's had it in stock so I canceled my order at the other place to order it from Abe's. My order goes through without problem. I then for three days receive calls from a salesperson at Abe's who refuses to leave a message, I email him back right away asking what the call is about with no response. Finally I email customer service asking why I haven't gotten any shipping info (I even paid extra for faster shipping). I get a reply saying the lens has been shipped and I will be getting tracking info that night. Three days go by and still no tracking info so I email again and get the response of "oh sorry that item is out of stock". WTF WHY DOES IT TAKE 7 DAYS FOR YOU TO TELL ME IT'S OUT OF STOCK, especially after they lied and told me it was shipped. I have spent thousands of dollars on photo equipment at other places and never received such terrible service. Completely unacceptable.
