Accepted my order, but a week later announced product was back-ordered. Finally received about three weeks after originally ordered. A small non-essential part was missing, e-mailed customer support and finally received a reply over a week later. They said they'd look into it! Wow, I won't be using CamerWorld again, too many good ones out there. Don't need this kind of grief.

The Item was advertised new however it was refurbished. The item was listed in stock however it was not. Money was immediately withdrawn from my account without a shipping date. I tried to cancel by phone three times, five days after my first phone and two days after my third attempt to cancel the item was shipped. The excuse was they are dealing with a third party. So the item was never in stock in the first place!! Because they claim the item was shipped (no tracking number offered) the refuse to credit my account.

Dealing with these people is a hassle and they seem to want to hold on to my money as long as possible. It may be several months before my account is credited.

My advice is shop some place else.

I bought some AAA rechargeable batteries from this site.  I was very happy with the price, as it was much lower than the other sites.  The item arrived in a timely manner and was packaged appropriately.  I haven't tested them yet, so unless they are defective, I would give the site nothing but praise.  Very satisfied.

I purchased a firewire PCI card. The item was shipped next day. I need an invoice with shipping charges. I talked to five or six customer representatives. I was never able to receive an invoice.

I strongly recommend that you do not buy at this store. I ordered a camera, a memory stick and a case. I received everything on time except for: wonder? The camera.
This is not the entire story. When I called my credit card company to cancel the operation I found out that cameraworld had charged my credit card twice. For a camera that I did not even receive. Very unpleasant situation.

I placed an order with Cameraworld for some computer memory. Come to find out they do not have it stock and my order was placed in back order. The site clearly stated it was in stock. Be careful, with this company. This was my first and last order if it. I am hoping, that I will get me money back. Customer Service maybe sourced out to India. Person on phone had a very pronounced Indian accent.

These guys are crooks. Plain and simple.

I ordered a Kodak P880 digital camera. They sent me a unit which had OBVIOUSLY been opened, probably used as a floor model. The lense was scratched, the LCD was smeared with fingerprints, and half the accessories were thrown haphazardly into the box. I really liked the camera and was going to keep it regardless, but three pixels were blown out. I can't believe anyone had the temerity to ship this thing as "new". For 800 bucks you expect a WHOLE lot more, like cameras that aren't obviously used and accessories that are factory packaged. On the upside the nice fellow in India who answered the customer service line apologized over and over for the incompetent red neck morons running the warehouse in Georgia and sent me a return shipping form, but even that took 3 days. I will never ever deal with these people again and I suggest you do not either.

I ordered a Creative muvo tx igb mp3 player on 5-24, the order form stated it was in stock, upon completion of the order i was informed it was out of stock and would be shipped from the vendor, I went to customer service and was informed it would be shipped in a week, after a week i went back to customer service and was told it would be one more week, after another week i went back and was told i would be contacted within 48 hours, after 48 hours i went back and was told i would be contacted within 24 hours, 48 hours later i went back and was finally told they really didn't know when it would ship.At this point i went to Dell and ordered the same item, when i went back to camerworld to cancel the order, I was suddenly told the order would ship the following monday, I cancelled anyway, I have never dealt with such a fraudulent company, you can't believe anything they tell you, I will never do business with them again, If you really want what you are ordering, go somewhere else.

I ordered a Sony digital camcorder. It came with $100 worth of free accessories that no one else offered and they were still cheaper than the others. PLUS Free shipping! Received my order 3 days after placing it. Will Definitely shop here again. These guys know how to take care of their customers!!

I wanted to buy Simpletech hard drives. They said they were in stock. Then they emailed me that it was on back order. I cancelled. They said that they may not be able to stop delivery, that I should just refuse delivery. Then they said that they would credit my credit card but it could take 2 billing cycles (months).This was dropped whey I threatened to turn them into AMEX. I will not do business with them again.

I ordered for two SDHC memory cards from cameraworld.com.  It's been three weeks and I have not received the items.  Each time I call to follow up on the order, they cannot give me an exact status of the order, or when the item will ship.  I finally called to cancel the order and was told the order cannot be cancelled.  What kind of customer service is this?  It's a guessing game on when you get your item - if at all.  Beware of doing business with these guys.

I ordered two digital audio cables from Camera World. After Fed Ex lost the order it took FIVE phone calls for them to send the claim form. It then took three more phone calls for them to issue my refund almost two months later. I don't know how things would have went had there not been the shipping mishap; but when things go wrong there customer service is horrible.

I ordered a Canon multi function printer, which had just stopped being made, on October 3, my credit card was charged Oct 6. No delivery. I called numerous times, was told it was to be shipped from the vendor/distribution center. Promised 3 times that CameraWorld would contact distribution center. November 16th I finally called and was demanding. The Indian phone people, nice themselves, had no authority to cut a price break etc. on another printer. I gave up in disgust. It left me without a multifunction printer on an Alaskan island. And I can't find the same printer to order because CW jerked me around so long.

Put it this way: I've never written an online review of a business, but took the time to sign up here and do this. Cameraworld (a P.O. box address in Irvine, CA. and guys named "Jim" with east Indian accents whenever I call the 800#) have debited my bank accound $150.00 for an order that they confirmed as cancelled a week ago. An Email gift certificate no less! It didn't "ship", four days later they call to "confirm my order", I explained that the birthday was over and that four days is a bit slow for an Emailed gift certificate, I cancelled order then and there, and was told I'd recieve a "confirmed cancellation" email in a coupe of hours -- that came two days later, and this week they've gone ahead and debited my account for $150.00. And, obviously, not sent a thing to the recepient as my order was cancelled. So now it's back to the phone lines to talk to outsourced help in Dheli or wherever. Sorry to be so negative, but I thought I's save you the hassle.
