I had a positive experience with ritzcamera.com and I will definitely buy from them again.

Firstly, I contacted ritzcamera.com via chat to inquire about Nikkor 55-300mm lens for my Nikon D5100. I wanted to get their confirmation about compatibility and product availability. The person I dealt with answered my inquiries politely and straight to the point.

I placed the order for a Nikkor 55-300mm lens and paid for the item exactly as advertised - no shipping, no tax and including the Ritz Special Savings! No surprises here. The order was placed online on July 7th, 1 AM and I received the package on July 9, about 5pm.

I give ritzcamera a BIG THUMBS UP.

I had a horrible experience with AJRichie.com. Don't be fooled by its low advertised prices. It's a scam. AJRichie.com is NOT trustworthy.

Here is my experience: I placed an order online for a Nikkor 55-300mm lense (as a bonus, AJRichie.com will include additional accessories) which was priced about $200 less than most online stores. The next day I received an email from AJRichie.com stating "For your security we need to verify your order, please call us at *******559, ext 860 to provide a verbal confirmation so that we can ship out your product. If we do not hear from you this order will not be able to be processed."

When I called, the man who I spoke with said that the camera lense that I ordered was the international model which can only take video. He suggested that I purchase the US model for additional $50 to allow me to take pictures as well as video. I told him that was the first time I've heard of that. He sounded annoyed, stated that they were very busy, and reiterated that the camera lense that I ordered was an international model and that I should get the US model for additional $50. I requested him to cancel my order. I then received a follow up email from AJRichie.com cancelling my order.

For fear of getting charged for a cancelled order, I called my credit card company to replace my credit card.

The lesson learned is: Avoid this store, no matter how attractive the prices seem. IT'S A SCAM. AJRichie.com is NOT trustworthy.
