Absolutely terrible customer service! I sent back a printer that was dead on arrival. The customer service reps stated that I would be refunded immediately. They refused to accept the return after having it for over a month in their warehouse (11/7 arrived, 12/7 was their official response). I have ...

I actually like Adorama better than B&H .... I think B&H just want people to buy what they want not what the costumer needs. At Adorama, they treat you better!

got there as the store was opening, no wait for help. although there was not anything in used stock that fit what I was looking for, the salesman took his time to explore different options I have confidence that I will use Adorama in the future for purchases.
BUYER BEWARE!
BUYER BEWARE!
Dealing with Adorama was one of the worst (THREE MONTH!) experiences I have ever encountered from a business.
I sent in my Camera, two lenses (brand new) to see what kind of trade in value I could get.
I turned down their offer and asked for my equipment back.

I'm surprised by the number of negative reviews on Adorama as I have placed several orders with them over the past months and all have been received quickly and well packaged.

Won't allow returns. I spent $800 on a new camera, lens, tripod, and 2 batteries. The batteries didn't fit the camera. I asked to return them 2 days after receiving them. They wouldn't allow me to return 1 of the batteries because I had opened it. Next time I will buy from Amazon or B & H Photo.

Worst company I have ever dealt with. I purchased a TV online from them and it was supposed to be delivered on the 11th. It is the 12th and the shipper said they would get it to me on the 19th..

Avoid buying from Adorama. They ship via UPS, and they do not take responsibility for the shipping mishaps. Package was lost by UPS. Will always discourage people in my circle from ordering from Adorama.
