Best Price Cameras

Ordered the Canon 40D in a package. Received the 40D but Japan model. No US warranty. Also received the wrong lens. Did not receive other items as well. Called and waited for 40 minutes then spoke to a rude person. He told me that they (the company) warranties the camera so it didn't matter. They ended up shipping the remaining items. I was going to return but after reading other posts its not worth the hassle. Now I have a useless lens and probably waisted about $500. I will never buy from them again.

Scammers

These people are big time Scammers / I'm in a run-dodge-jump an hide deal with them right now .... they done it all on me ...... talked me from a $399 deal to a $940 deal / didn't ship $420 Accessory Kit but charged my Card.

All I get now is shuffle and disconnects on the phone.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!! Believe everything you have read here. They had almost suckered me like the many here. I had ordered a lens for the nikon d40 and I never received an e-mail confirming my order. I order alot online and always receive email confirming my order. I called and talked to a rep about my order and he told me I would have to buy the internal motor separate. BS!!!! I called my credit card co. and stopped the transaction. BUYER BEWARE

LIARS

I too wish I had read this first. I ordered a camera body only, said it was in stock. I emailed them 5 days after order as it had not been charged to my account - no response by them. I called a week after that (today), they said it is not in stock and will be in from one to six weeks. I am assuming they are waiting for me to cancel as I did not buy accessories from them and they are not making enough money on the body alone. I will satisfy them and cancel as I have no business doing business with these clowns.

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE LIARS!

Got my money back

I too bought a Canon EOS 40d before I saw this site. Back in December 2007, I called the 800 number and ordered the camera. When they say its body only, thats what they mean. So after I was told I needed the battery and lens I agreed to pay $719.00 that also included the kit (bag,cap etc). I did get my camera a few days later. I did not see a final bill in the package, but it must have fallen out when I did open the package and my wife found it. The total for the camera was just under $1700.00, not even close to the price quoted. Well just try to call them and see what happens (no wait Ill tell you, you wont get through). Thank god I paid for it with my American Express. I contacted them and told them what happened, they asked for all documents (I printed each web page through the transaction showing the price). After three months of American Express looking into it, they denied my claim and sent me what Best Price sent them, what they sent was an web page for the camera with a higher price. They sent a March pricing list instead of the December 2007, which I had. When I pointed it out to American Express that, that was the wrong web page, they re-opened the investigation and just let me know that they credited my credit card for the over charge of $1000.00. DO NOT BUY FROM THESES CROOKS. RUN AWAY REAL FAST. On a side note, when I needed a Canon 2.5 75-200mm lens, the best price I found in the camera shop was $1900.00, I went on JR electronic site found the same lens for 1574.00 with free shipping. I ordered it and received it the other day. Brand new in the box with papers etc. Prior to them shipping it, they called me to make sure I in fact did place the order. WOW what service.

RUN

from Bestpricecameras.com and all their many, many aliases. I saw a good price for a Sony hdr-sr8 and called to place the order. I was uploaded a bunch of stuff but thought it was still a decent price. I was hesitant to order from them, but I knew my amex would protect me as a consumer. As soon as I received the box, I knew that I had been scammed. The extra items that I ordered were not in the box, however, I was charged for all of the items. After I called several times to get an RA number and was hung up on, I called amex and they said they would take care of it. I sat back relieved. Let them get the RA number and I will return this product. Right. Right? wrong. Amex answered my inquiry with a response that said that I received what I had ordered. Amex didn't bother to look at the fact that what I ordered and what I got were two different things. They seem to feel that at least I got something. So what if I am paying $1200. more than what I should be paying. So if you are like me and willing to take a chance on this company because you think you will be protected as a consumer by your credit card's fraud department or the BBB, think again. Look at the BBB's website for all of their aliases so you aren't scammed by them at all. I don't know what more I can do to warn others of this fraudulent activity by this company and all of their entities.

Don't Buy Best Priced Junk

I was lied to, promised a rebate that I never got, overcharged and screwed in general. I am not a bitter person but I would love to drive to New York and give a little Texas Justice to these guys who lie and steal to make a living. If you need a camera do yourself a favor and go to a reputable dealer and pay for what you get. If you try a save a buck with these guys it will cost you more in the long run and you can’t believe a word they say! I will stop before I “break the rules of conduct” but I hope at least one person reads this and does not buy from them. I got my D300 JAPAN Camera that I was assured was American and when I went to return it due to all the lies I learned of the “Restocking Fee”. They operate under several names, we call that a clue, then rip you off. I learned the hard way, beware!
