Updates at end. I called to place my order because I couldn't get the select button on their web page to work. The salesman was very aggressive about pushing accessories I didn't want, and trying to upgrade the accessories I did want. One of the ...

I recently ordered a Garmin Nuvi 350 from Butterfly photo. Their price was the lowest I could find, and the shipping was free. Ordering online was a breeze although there is a catch!!! When you place an order online, you are hoping for a fast ...

I was in the market for a digital camera, and through Epinions and other online sites, I found that Butterfly Photo had a very competitive price on the model I was interested in. Based on reviews I read of Butterfly Photo, I was somewhat nervous, ...

Very disorganized and rude! I placed an order for a TV and they said it was in stock and would ship in 24 - 48 hours. After 3 days passed and my order was still processing, I contacted them and they said that it was being shipped out that afternoon. A ...

I would recommend you not use Butterfly Photo. I ordered an EOS Rebel XT 350D from Butterfly. The sales agent called me up and talked me into some alternate packages and Repairtech extended warranty, upping the price $300. The free case he offered ...

These guys are schiesters!!! I purchased a slew of products from Butterfly Photo at a very good price. As stated previously, these guys are very good at pushing you into buying accessories. I ended up buying a nice Panasonic Digital Camera, and ...

I ordered the Panasonic PV-GS250 for $727 after reading several comments about Butterfly Photo. I was very leery and felt compelled to call the store for status every few days. It was listed as in stock but after placing the order was told that the ...

I read a lot of negative feedback about the store and took that into consideration when ordering my new Sony Cybershot DSC-H5. I did much research regarding pricing and found that butterflyphoto.com had one of the lowest prices and being that they ...

Extremely poor customer service from Butterfly Photo. I called them to place order because delivery time was crucial to my placing the order. I needed the camera prior to leaving on a trip to Hawaii and was repeatedly assured that the camera would ...

Website and checkout process is fine; then the problems start. You will immediately be sent an email requiring you to call and confirm your order. If you ever get through (called 3 times then finally waited on hold for 40min), you will be connected to ...

Prices are good with reasonable shipping - I have made several purchases in the past few years. I would rather all product info with options and prices be available for me at the time of purchase - the phone call the next day with the "did you know", "you can upgrade for $$$" sales pitch is annoying at best.

Butterflyphoto.com is the internet version of 'bait and switch'. They make it possible to place a order on their website but they want processs or finalize the order until you make a phone call to them so they can try and sell you some additional merchandise. I will not do business with this merchant again. If they want to be really honest, then get rid of the internet order process all together and just put their "800 number" on the website for everyone to call in and order and see how their customers respond to that technique!

Excellent. Very fast and efficient. It beat every other item I ordered for the camera. Also had the best price I could find on the camera. I searched for almost a month and could not find a better price.

Butterfly Photo had one of the best prices for the HDTV models we shopped for. Previously, I had shopped online and bought cameras and another television from them. I knew the customer service was highly reliable. I was pleased that they processed my order within 24 hours and the TV arrived in perfect condition within 48 hours of placing my order. That was awesome ! I will definitely order from Butterfly Photo in the future.

The day after I placed my order I received a phone call from a rep who tried to talk me into upgrading the memory card that came with the accessory kit. He said the card wouldn't perform well with my camera. I asked him why the card was even included in the kit if it wouldn't perform with my camera, and he got very defensive. I don't like being harassed into spending more money when I was already spending hundreds. Still, this was my second purchase from Butterfly and I will probably use them again in the future.

Being able to ask a simple question was very important to me. The purpose of my question was to verbaly verify if the product was indead new, unopened, and factory sealed. I was able to do this very effectively with a simple call -- it gives me a much better feeling to be able to do that over the phone (rather than email) because it allows me to test the responsiveness of the merchant. Butterfly photo met that requirement at the lowest market price. I will not only look to them for my future camara needs, but I will also recommend them to friends and family.
In other words, they have earned my word-of-mouth advertising. The only problem is availability on Saturdays, but if that is for religious convictions then
I understand -- that is the only reason I rated that as good instead of excellent.
