Uh oh, my Brother HL-2070N light is blinking. I need toner! I want a deal! So I looked at office max, office depot, staples. The prices there... talk about sticker shock! I could just about buy a new printer for their prices on toner. So I started ...

I ordered the Magellan Roadmate @ cameraworld.com on Saturday July 17. I submitted the order and waited for an email confirmation. I waited and waited day one went by no confirmation, day two and three still no confirmation. On the forth day I call ...

Pros: Good inventory, competitive prices, and personal advice available!

Bought a Canon S110 digital, after looking for days for the absolute best price. Tried to buy from two other places, got frustrated and gave up. Called Cameraworld (you get the best prices that way), and realized I never should have wasted time with...

Pros: Excellent service, well informed staff, competitive prices, price matching, no grey market products
Cons: Have to call about some rare items that are not listed on their website

Cameraworld is on my list of top photography/video equipment e-tailers. Their reps answer phones from early in the morning through late at night. The service is also first rate and the staff there is knowledgeable on the products they sell. Prices are...

I've been buying equipment from Cameraworld for years. They've got outstanding customer service and knowledgeable people on the phones. You actually get the name and direct phone number of your sales person to call back in the event of issues with your...

Pros: Great service, prices much better than retail, pretty site
Cons: Prices are great, but are not always as good as BH

This is a great online photography store.. Prices are really great and the site is easy to navigate. Personally, I always use BH PHOTO (www.bhphoto.com) for all my camera needs. This site I have used one or twice as well though, (either because the...

Pros: Knowledgeable, sells only USA Warrantied products - no grey, Great web site
Cons: Not many, not always cheapest but if you work them hard they will match price

Camerworld is a really nice site to buy from. They used to be called Camera World of Oregon and thats when I started buying from them. With the Internet, they are now just CameraWorld.com, but do a likewise great job nonetheless.

The best...

I went to cameraworld.com based on the positive reviews here to find some accessories for my Olympus C-4040. Their web site is baffling and very poorly organized, and the selection appears to be abysmal! I tried various search method, including an...

I posted this before but it never shows... repost it.

Most of my experience with Cameraworld was very positive (that's why I was their customer for quite a long time) until I have to retrun a product. I asked the customer service prep. what...

Camera World is a welcome change to most of the camera stores that are famous for bait and switch. Avoid the New York stores as I have had bad experiences with several of them. Camera World sells top quality equipment WITH US warranty, not grey market....

Great service, nice people. We had a problem with my order and we negotiated a solution quickly to my satisfaction. These people care about their...

CWO is great. Friendly helpful staff who dont lie like all the ny houses do, even B&H. Good prices, sometimes better than listed. No loopholes, no crap. Just good stuff at good prices. You might find things 1-2% cheaper elsewhere, but if you order there,...

There web site claimed an item was in stock, so I placed the order. I received a confirmation within minutes. The next day, they sent me an email stating that the item was not in stock, that it was unavailable, and attempted to blame it on a supplier. On top of that, they stated that it would take up to two billing cycles to refund my payment!

Obviously, they do not actually keep items in stock, but claim that they do on their web site.

Accepted my order, but a week later announced product was back-ordered. Finally received about three weeks after originally ordered. A small non-essential part was missing, e-mailed customer support and finally received a reply over a week later. They said they'd look into it! Wow, I won't be using CamerWorld again, too many good ones out there. Don't need this kind of grief.

The Item was advertised new however it was refurbished. The item was listed in stock however it was not. Money was immediately withdrawn from my account without a shipping date. I tried to cancel by phone three times, five days after my first phone and two days after my third attempt to cancel the item was shipped. The excuse was they are dealing with a third party. So the item was never in stock in the first place!! Because they claim the item was shipped (no tracking number offered) the refuse to credit my account.

Dealing with these people is a hassle and they seem to want to hold on to my money as long as possible. It may be several months before my account is credited.

My advice is shop some place else.

I bought some AAA rechargeable batteries from this site.  I was very happy with the price, as it was much lower than the other sites.  The item arrived in a timely manner and was packaged appropriately.  I haven't tested them yet, so unless they are defective, I would give the site nothing but praise.  Very satisfied.

I purchased a firewire PCI card. The item was shipped next day. I need an invoice with shipping charges. I talked to five or six customer representatives. I was never able to receive an invoice.

I strongly recommend that you do not buy at this store. I ordered a camera, a memory stick and a case. I received everything on time except for: wonder? The camera.
This is not the entire story. When I called my credit card company to cancel the operation I found out that cameraworld had charged my credit card twice. For a camera that I did not even receive. Very unpleasant situation.

I placed an order with Cameraworld for some computer memory. Come to find out they do not have it stock and my order was placed in back order. The site clearly stated it was in stock. Be careful, with this company. This was my first and last order if it. I am hoping, that I will get me money back. Customer Service maybe sourced out to India. Person on phone had a very pronounced Indian accent.

These guys are crooks. Plain and simple.

I ordered a Kodak P880 digital camera. They sent me a unit which had OBVIOUSLY been opened, probably used as a floor model. The lense was scratched, the LCD was smeared with fingerprints, and half the accessories were thrown haphazardly into the box. I really liked the camera and was going to keep it regardless, but three pixels were blown out. I can't believe anyone had the temerity to ship this thing as "new". For 800 bucks you expect a WHOLE lot more, like cameras that aren't obviously used and accessories that are factory packaged. On the upside the nice fellow in India who answered the customer service line apologized over and over for the incompetent red neck morons running the warehouse in Georgia and sent me a return shipping form, but even that took 3 days. I will never ever deal with these people again and I suggest you do not either.

I ordered a Creative muvo tx igb mp3 player on 5-24, the order form stated it was in stock, upon completion of the order i was informed it was out of stock and would be shipped from the vendor, I went to customer service and was informed it would be shipped in a week, after a week i went back to customer service and was told it would be one more week, after another week i went back and was told i would be contacted within 48 hours, after 48 hours i went back and was told i would be contacted within 24 hours, 48 hours later i went back and was finally told they really didn't know when it would ship.At this point i went to Dell and ordered the same item, when i went back to camerworld to cancel the order, I was suddenly told the order would ship the following monday, I cancelled anyway, I have never dealt with such a fraudulent company, you can't believe anything they tell you, I will never do business with them again, If you really want what you are ordering, go somewhere else.

I ordered a Sony digital camcorder. It came with $100 worth of free accessories that no one else offered and they were still cheaper than the others. PLUS Free shipping! Received my order 3 days after placing it. Will Definitely shop here again. These guys know how to take care of their customers!!

I wanted to buy Simpletech hard drives. They said they were in stock. Then they emailed me that it was on back order. I cancelled. They said that they may not be able to stop delivery, that I should just refuse delivery. Then they said that they would credit my credit card but it could take 2 billing cycles (months).This was dropped whey I threatened to turn them into AMEX. I will not do business with them again.

I ordered for two SDHC memory cards from cameraworld.com.  It's been three weeks and I have not received the items.  Each time I call to follow up on the order, they cannot give me an exact status of the order, or when the item will ship.  I finally called to cancel the order and was told the order cannot be cancelled.  What kind of customer service is this?  It's a guessing game on when you get your item - if at all.  Beware of doing business with these guys.

I ordered two digital audio cables from Camera World. After Fed Ex lost the order it took FIVE phone calls for them to send the claim form. It then took three more phone calls for them to issue my refund almost two months later. I don't know how things would have went had there not been the shipping mishap; but when things go wrong there customer service is horrible.

I ordered a Canon multi function printer, which had just stopped being made, on October 3, my credit card was charged Oct 6. No delivery. I called numerous times, was told it was to be shipped from the vendor/distribution center. Promised 3 times that CameraWorld would contact distribution center. November 16th I finally called and was demanding. The Indian phone people, nice themselves, had no authority to cut a price break etc. on another printer. I gave up in disgust. It left me without a multifunction printer on an Alaskan island. And I can't find the same printer to order because CW jerked me around so long.

Put it this way: I've never written an online review of a business, but took the time to sign up here and do this. Cameraworld (a P.O. box address in Irvine, CA. and guys named "Jim" with east Indian accents whenever I call the 800#) have debited my bank accound $150.00 for an order that they confirmed as cancelled a week ago. An Email gift certificate no less! It didn't "ship", four days later they call to "confirm my order", I explained that the birthday was over and that four days is a bit slow for an Emailed gift certificate, I cancelled order then and there, and was told I'd recieve a "confirmed cancellation" email in a coupe of hours -- that came two days later, and this week they've gone ahead and debited my account for $150.00. And, obviously, not sent a thing to the recepient as my order was cancelled. So now it's back to the phone lines to talk to outsourced help in Dheli or wherever. Sorry to be so negative, but I thought I's save you the hassle.
