Adorama Online Store

I called to inquire about the Dimage A2 camera. The sales clerk on the phone informed me they no longer carried the camera. I merely asked why and the clerk started to get an attitude. I inquired why Minolta discontinued the camera. The rude clerk said very rudely that he doesn't work for Minolta and hung up on me. Ill have be stranded on an island and will never order from this company even if this was the last place on earth.

Adorama offers consistently competitive prices, and their level of service is excellent. When I ordered a Nikkor lens I inadvertantly ordered a 25mm filter instead of the 52mm filter I needed. A call to Adorama was all that was needed to rectify my mistake. I returned the filter; they credited my account and sent me the filter I intended to order. No hassles--just friendly, competent assistance.

I was looking for the adapter ring and UV multi glass filter. I didn't have any problems with sopping at this store, items were received on time and as described. I would shop there again.

I was very pleased with the service we received from Adorama online store. Would order from them again in a heartbeat. i ordered it on one day then got it the next. Most places I've ordered from take me a month to get things.

In the last 60 days I have purchased a Contax SL300RT, an Olympus C-8080, and various other items. Service, delivery, promptness: All excellent. I ran into a glitch with Amazon.com; they were the "portal" to Adorama, and they were an obstacle. Amazon.com prefers emails rather than phone calls - Adorama answers the phone, listens, responds. I tried to give my business to a local photo company, National Camera. They have an excellent reputation, but their prices were just too far above Adorama's to justify supporting the local vendor. I gave them the chance to work with me on the cost, but they declined. I've dealt with Circuitcity.com: okay, but not as user-friendly as Adorama.com. My conversations with Adorama have been with New Yorkers, with Circuitcity.com, I suspect I was conversing with someone overseas, with less familiarity with the product. My recommendation (admittedly I am an amateur photographer) would be to trust Adorama.com for your photographic needs.

My first experience with Adorama was very good. Considering before I bought anything from them I "considered" doing business with http://www.usaphotonation.com/ because they were advertizing some "too good to true" sale packages. As you know if it's too good to true then it probably is. Thank goodness for intelligent friends. A friend checked out USA Photo Nation at http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ and this gives the customer rating for a business. Long story short USA Photo Nation is a scam and should be arrested. I then checked the rating for Adorama as do with everyone since and Adorama had a good rating and built my confidence. I ordered 2 lenses and 2 hoods from them and received them in a timely manner and I will recommend other people to do business with them. I will in the future.

I try to use Adorama for all of my many photographic purchases.  Orders are processed and shipped promptly.  Often I receive orders within a few days of placing them, even without expedited shipping.  I have sold my used equipment and purchased both new and used equipment.  I have always been please with the product received.  And the prices haven't been beat anywhere.  I've given up Ebay for any camera equipment.  With Adorama, you get it cheaper than at auction, you get a tested product that lives up to its rating, and you get it quick.

My Kenko 2X Tele extender was delivered in only two days - just in time for Christmas. I've never had any problems with Adorama and they will always be my first choice in camera supplies.

Adorama has great prices, no argument there. My problem with them is shipping & handling. I'm in the military and reside in Germany. I have a military APO address that can accept normal USPS shipping. What most online retailers do, is charge you the USPS first class price, which I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with, is Adorama charging MORE THAN DOUBLE what should be charged to ship to me!

Example: I ordered a compactflash card, spare battery and a copy of Adobe Photoshop. Total for shipping with Adorama via USPS first class? $49.50. The same items through B&H with the same shipping is $16.95!

I priced out a tripod on both sites with Adorama wanting to bill me $66.00 shipping, while B&H would of charged $24.95.

Is Adorama cheating military personnel? You be the judge! I'm definitely using B&H for all of my photo needs!

Shopping was a breeze. Ordered my lowepro slingshot 100 AW bag at a good price. saw a friend with one and it is a very versaite bag and handy for walking with to catch shots on the way to the office.
it was delivered on time and I am very happy with the service.
I have purchased two cameras, one lenes and a bag from Adororama. they all arrived on time.
in fact one camera they overnighted at no extra charge so I had it before came back to Afghanistan where I live and work. The live online assistance was very good.
in all I have had very good experience with adorama and recommend them to my friends
keep up the good work

When I jumped back into photography after a 15 year hiatus, I needed gear--a lot of gear!  After much research about the gear I needed and research into the best place to get it--I chose Adorama. They have not let me down.  Prices have been very competitive, and the service has been great.  The people at Adorama hate to let you down and they don't. They follow up on orders quickly and communicate with me as well, letting me know the status of my order. I have purchased several thousands of dollars of equipment from Adorama in the last year, and I have not been dissappointed.  They will continue to get my business for equipment and prints.

Ordered several items and they were shipped and arrived on time and in great condition. I am now an Adorama customer and will be ordering more equipment. A great site with lots of products, information and great links.This is a great site for supplies and equipment. I was able to find exactly what I wanted and the process was quick and easy.I love the Imaging resource center which is full of great information.

Thanks,

Adorama has the lowest prices and very good selection but their customer service is the worst I've ever come across. They claim they don't charge money until the order is shipped but I can prove otherwise.
