Please do NOT buy anything from this site, they will try and up sell you and trick you into buying more expensive equipment. If you see a low ball price, run as fast as you can. If you do not listen to the people posting here, I can guarantee you will be calling your credit card company like I did.
I took at look at this site and while they may be just another one of those NYC photo gear scam sites out there, I bet they actually do ship some of the products they sell online because THEY COST MORE THAN BEST BUY! Take this for example, Canon 5D MII for
List Price: $2,999.95
Our Price: $2,899.00
Hello?!? I can go down the street to Best Buy and they have it for $2599. Maybe this site is a scam, but if they are trying to rip people off they are not doing it with fake low prices as some of their prices are ridiculously high!
Guys, get a clue... this site is meant to rip people off. Sometimes if a price is so low that it seems like a dream come true, then you know you are about to get screwed. This site is an obvious scam with the usual bait and switch tactics.
If you are shopping for photography equipment and you want a rock solid deal, then stick with BHphotovideo or Adorama, I think both have received great reviews here on SiteJabber. The only other place I have sometimes found killers deals on photography equipment is Dell of all places. If you are on Dell's email list, they often send out 20% off coupons and you can use them on camera equipment. Believe it or not I used my 20% off Dell coupon to by my Canon 5D for 20% off... NOBODY was able to beat that deal.
I honestly had a wonderful experience with this website. I did not look at reviews before hand, but everything worked out for me fine. Not once was I asked to buy anything extra, nor call to confirm my order. Bought a 160.00 digital camera and that's what they charged me for and had it to my door in two days. Maybe I just got lucky, but I loved the site and the price. My wife loves her new camera too.
No customer support... They sell you what they want you to have (build you a package of items you did not order) Do not honer the price they quote.
Internet scam - they advertise electronics very cheap and do not honur the advertised price ask you to call for verification of order to try to sell you accessories to get the price even more expensive than other respectable retailers
86photovideo.com Do Not Buy Anything from this site, Total Scam artists - 86photovideo.com
You Could Be Running A Credit Risk if you Buy From This Site, it is the Worst site ever, they lie to you and say that your merchandise is in stock but it is not, they take your personal information and then run the scam that it is back ordered because it is a whole sale kit, However on their website they state that it is the same as retail and give no differences. The item will never be in stock, they rope you into buying extra camera batteries that are 110% more expensive that what you can get retail. So you end up spending 100's of dollar more that what the camera is worth. Their customer service and other staff are rude and obnoxious when you complain or try to cancel your order they yell at you and hang up on you. This business should be sued for false advertisement and unethical/ possible illegal business practices. They should at lease be audited by SEC and other regulatory business organizations.It is a serious risk to buy anything from this site, They now have your personal info and you are now at risk from them selling it and using it.
