It is not the old Abe's that had a good reputation.
This is a new outfit that's trying to scam people with name recognition. I do my best to keep them off this site, linking there will get a post edit etc. |

Good to know. How about Beach Camera? I don't know much about the others such as the one you named. What I do know is that the above named companies stand behind their products, have excellent support, and will do whatever it takes to make it right for the customer. (except that one time Adorama totally screwed me and afterward never responded to the emails that the adorama person that registered here said I should send) But ehh, that truly was an isolated incident. Most people have nothing but good things to say about them. |

Old, old thread, but thought I would update of Abe's.
Had ordered a Nikon D850 during their Labor Day price reduction sale of $500 less than all other purveyors. I surmised given the lesser cost it was a "grey market" offering, rather than Nikon USA. Of course, three days after the order was placed I received an email from Abe's asking I call to "confirm my order" (Abe's usual procedure) - not a practice done with the more well known and reputable electronics mail order establishments. Calling Abe's I spoke immediately with a CS representative, asked pointedly if the D850 indeed carried an International Warranty, and was told any issue with the camera and it would have to be sent back to Abe's (shipping at my expense) for repair. So obviously, "grey market". The CS reprentative halfheartedly attempted to seek me an Abe's extended warranty at a 50% discount, which I declined. Without issue the CS rep cancelled my order when asked to do so, and was very polite. I suspect Abe's is accustomed to having orders cancelled... |
