"I ordered a flash from this company and initially had some issues, but after receiving the flash in good condition and as promised, management has contacted me to work out the originally problems, we are currently in the process of getting all matters resolved. "
"I ordered a SB600 flash for my Nikon camera online here. They said it was in stock. I had ordered late on a Friday and they promptly called me on Monday to let me know it had been discontinued and they would upgrade me to a Vivitar Flash for the same price. I declined this offer, but ended up going back and ordering the SB700 for a little more. I was impressed with how fast they contacted me...however, they really should update their website!"
"This company is a scam. I was upsold a much more expensive item by them, saying the product I wanted was going to be out of stock for 4-6 weeks. The item I did receive was defective and they refused to replace it. Buyer beware and DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from these people!"
"As I called to check on my "backordered" item, I could hear other operators in the background using the same techniques that had been tried on me a few weeks earlier! I'm afraid "bait and switch" is exactly what came to mind. The price on the item I wanted was lower than the site I usually use. Within days, I was contacted by a customer service representative who tried to force a non-name brand product on me. He actually argued with me, even after I politely repeated a number of times that I only wanted what I had ordered. Now I'm left in a lurch as the whole backordered story was a great big lie. It's been nearly 8 weeks. Where is it shipping from? Jupiter? Shame on you Theestoreonline."
"I have decided to withdraw my bad review that I had given Threestore.com because the store has agreed to give me a partial refund for the Battery.
"
"Well, after reading some of the reviews, I hope I haven't been scammed with a bait and switch.
I ordered an original equipment Panasonic camera battery and charger.
The next morning I received an e-mail to call and I got Carter who told me that they were out of stock of my original charger purchase and that it would be 3-4 weeks until they received it from Panasonic. He also talked me into a "better" battery. Both cost more that the original ones I ordered but he matched the price on the battery and gave me almost the same price on the charger.
I will do on line research on the new ones he sold me and will check them out when I receive them, then update this review.
I must say Carter was nice, polite and gave good customer service. Now if I haven't been "baited and switched" and "scammed", I'll be a satisfied customer."
"BAIT & SWITCH
Ordered an original Canon battery, which was shown to be in stock. Received a phone call informing me that the battery was on back order and was offered a substitute at a higher price. Substitute turned out to be a product I could have gotten much cheaper somewhere else on the internet. "
"I purchased a Nikon el-14 here's my review
If you have certain Nikon digital camera models, this Nikon EN-EL14 Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery will be the one that you want, and putting it simply, don't accept any substitutes. There are some here on Amazon and other sites that that say "Compatible with Nikon EN-EL14 Li-Ion Battery" or "For Nikon EN-EL14 Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery DSLR." Some come in kits with filters, camera bags and the like, but if you're not careful, you may have reason to be sorry, as will be explained further on.
The EN-EL14 fits and is made specifically for the following Nikon digital cameras:
? D3100
? D3200
? D5100
? COOLPIX P7000 (but see compatibility note below)
? COOLPIX P7100
? COOLPIX P7700
Functionality:
The EN-EL14 is a rechargeable Li-ion battery that powers select Nikon DSLR and P-series cameras as noted above, providing 7.4v and 1030 mAh of power. It only takes an hour and 30 minutes in order to have a fully charged battery, and once this is completed, the charge lamp on the Nikon MH-24 Quick Charger should stop blinking, and you'll see a solid light. In use, this battery will actually improve in performance after several charge cycles; having a spare never hurts.
In actual use, I'm getting between 320 and 350 shots per charge with the Nikon COOLPIX P7100 and with the COOLPIX P7700. When shooting videos, which I rarely do, using a fully charged EN-EL14 battery will give an approximate of two hours to 2 hours and 45 min, recording at HD 720.
Used together with the above Nikon models, the camera's battery gauge accurately displays the remaining charge, and some display number of shots since the last charging. The EN-EL14 even gives notice when calibration is necessary.
Compatibility:
The original Nikon EN-EL14 Li-Ion battery will work with all six of the above cameras as of this writing, and more may follow later. But note that there are cheaper 'clone' batteries that may or may not claim to work with these cameras, but they will not work with the Nikon D3100, D3200, D5100, COOLPIX P7100 or COOLPIX 7700. The 'clone' batteries may or may not work with the Nikon Coolpix P7000 depending on the firmware version, but you may need to check with Nikon on this.
There are some who have managed to find various work-arounds to this, namely with the use of various battery grips, but that is entirely up to the individual to try, and I offer no opinion of this method when it comes to the models that use this battery. That's your avenue to explore if you choose it. When a single clone battery is used with some of the above Nikon models, there may be a message that's displayed stating that the battery is not compatible and the camera will not function. If you're not sure as to whether your EN-EL14 Li-Ion battery is a Nikon original, check some of the images that have been posted with this product page.
Summary:
When this review was originally written, the Nikon EN-EL14 Li-Ion battery was in short supply, and placing an inquiry with Nikon, they confirmed this to be true. Most of the seemingly speculation seemed to point to the surprisingly strong popularity of the Nikon D3200, which frequently hit back-ordered status. Subjectively speaking, I can only say that it's worth having some patience, as quality-wise this battery has proven to be what I would expect from Nikon. It may be more expensive than some of the alternatives, but it works.
Please also see my Comments section here regarding how Japan's DENAN regulation (Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law) is being extended to cover additional high-tech products, including Li-Ion batteries, as this not only deals with safety but supply as these new laws are being enacted.
This battery is the replacement for the Nikon COOLPIX P7700 which is the new flagship of Nikon's Performance series of compact digital cameras. For those who already own one of the Nikon models mentioned earlier in this review and may be sitting on the fence while considering an advanced compact digital camera, this is good news to know that there's some standardization between batteries, which results in a decent cost savings as well. Hope that this helps."
"I am satisfied with my experience at theestoreonline. Even though they were out of stock of my original purchase, they sent me the next best choice.
When I argued about the difference in price, they authorized a prompt refund, and a replacement to a defective item, at no extra charge.
I feel I got my money's worth, and the staff was very friendly, and professional. "
"I was very bad need battery for school graduation. I have only 2 day for receive, and thank to them I have battery for graduation on time. Even day early. They help me when I have question. And I was very happy with This purchase. Thank you Im sorry I may not be easy understand but wanted to thank them for help. "
"BAIT AND SWITCH! BAIT AND SWITCH! SCAM SITE!
Called me after I ordered my charger said the right charger was on back order for 4-6 weeks, conned me into getting a cheap crap one at a higher price, after I got it and put my battery into it the battery actually fell out of it before it got in the wall! I returned it and had at least 2 people tell me they would send me my original charger within 4-6 weeks. over 3 months later I still haven't received my charger, the customer rep Carter Hayes said it's still on back order and he (she?) still doesn't know when it will be in stock. Denied being a scam site! DENIAL! There has to be a way to get this site offline as I am far from the only person is unappreciative of their bait and switch policy!"
"Hi,
Ordered a Nikon charger lost mine while on vacation
Needed it in 2 days called in a panic they shipped
It out and made sure I got it by the weekend!!
Thanks Tracy you saved my life !!!! Great store
Great service. "
"My first time buying from here. 1...placed my order I wanted..2...company called me via phone to discuss shipping delay of order...3...couldn't contact me by phone so emailed me to contact them. 4....talked with sales about order delay. They suggested another item instead and worked with me on pricing for the upgrade..5....shipped item right away. It's such a pleasure to order and work with people who are concerned about making a complete sale. I would recommend this online company for anyone. Thanks for such a
great sales job and consideration for the customer. I rate this 5 Stars plus. By
the way, I have been in sales for 41 years and this was the way to do close the sale. I plan to put on my face page a job well done to threestoneonline."
"I too read the good the bad reviews and figured I would give them a shot
I placed in order for a canon 600ex rt they had the best price I ordered it On a Tuesday received it brand new factory fresh on Saturday , just in time for my
Cousins wedding thanks estore !!!"
"There was a problem with my order the day after I made it and I needed to contact the company. I was able to work out a solution to the problem with their customer service department concerning a longer than normal delay in receiving these items. They agreed to send me the two Canon NB-10L batteries I ordered in a timely fashion and at a great price. All in all I am happy with the outcome and everything worked out on the order. The shipping cost was low and I expect to receive these items in about a week. "
