"I can't believe this company is still in business. I ordered a digital camera from them a year and a half ago. The upselling didn't bother me. The fact that I had paid for 2-day shipping and it hadn't arrived after 2 weeks did. Repeated calls resulted in 15-20 minute waits, brush-offs, and one abrupt hang-up. When I started looking up The Camera Zone online, the news got worse. Every review was terrible. Some claimed fraud. A couple were unusually complimentary, but turned out to be fake customer reviews from Camera Zone people. I immediately called and demanded my order be cancelled. Surprisingly, they did. I noticed a rep posted in this forum. Doesn't the site have a policy against that?"
"I bought a digital camcorder from them few years ago. Stated price on website couldn't be beat. I thought I was getting a bargain. I was WRONG, I received a call back from the guy name Scott - very PUSHY and downright HOSTILE about buying more stuff for the Camcorder. Combination of intimidation and constant nagging fork me pay $200 more for accessories that I have gotten myself for $50. My camcorder is due for repair now and I just came across my old receipt. I had to see it for myself that they can not be in business with their Hostile sales tactic as they did two years ago. I was right www.thecamerazone.com was gone, well actually it morphed into www.uniquephoto.com
BUYER BEWARE - shop with bigger vendor w/ reputable ratings.
People may say I could just said "NO" like previous commentor but I was just to intimidated to say it and I really hoped that nobody has to go through that kind of nightmare."
"Buyer Definately Beware. Read digiseller below.
This reseller opens new sites to hide from the reviews on reseller ratings. I have discovered even more sites than listed below. These people are a scam outfit. They bait and switch. Once you order, they make you call to confirm. If you do not buy overpriced accessories, the item is not in stock. Several people have taken this up with the BBB. If you purchased from one of their online stores, please contact the BBB and report them. "
"After reading some of the reviews here I was a little nervous about ordering from this company, but as it turned out I had no problems. The camera I ordered was delivered within a reasonable time, although it took 9 days before they shipped it. The box didn't have any shrink wrap or seal but it certainly contained all components, in new condition, and a proper warranty. I did have to call them to confirm my web order, but while I was asked if I wanted any additional items I did not receive any sales pitch to buy accessories. So all in all my experience with them was good. "
