    Anyone ever order camera equipement from Adorama? Just made my first purchase from them and seemed to go alright. Prices seemed great and hopefully shipping will be quick.

    I've ordered a couple little things from there like my AirStash. I've been happy with them. A lady I know that's a wedding photographers swears by them.

    All my camera stuff I ever bought has either been thru Adorama or BH Video and I've never had a problem with either one of them. Both were great to deal with.

    2 nights ago I was looking for a place on the Internet that sold CF cards. Their name popped up. I checked out their site and couldn't believe how cheap they were compared to other places and plus the shipping was free. Not something you see everyday. I'll definitely be ordering from them again In the future.

    I have bought quite a few things there over the years and had good service. A long time ago I had a little trouble paying extra shipping and some strange issues on back ordered, like waitng a long time for the product but overall I thinnk they are a good company and are past those things. I would just make sure all items are shipped as one andd no payment until order has been shipped.

    My order went just fine and I was very happy with it. The question I had actually was answered once I opened my product. I will be ordering from them again soon!

    Our policy is that we ship items as soon as they are in stock, EXCEPT to International customers, where we wait until all items are ready to ship together.

    We only ever charge a cc once an order actually ships!

    HelenOster,

    That is good to hear. It was a long time ago that I had the problem and I have had great service since then. I continue to buy from Adorama and also B&H. glad to hear the policy as it is now.

    I own a photo booth business and we purchase most of our cameras, printers, and media from them. They've always been great. They even ship our printers for free...at 30 lbs a piece!

    Imaging Spectrum is also good.

    I know this is pretty old. I just wanted to say im very pleased with this site. They had some of the best prices for the camera i bought as well as the protection plan that i bought. I had free 7-10 day shipping and it got here in 3 days! Im was very surprised with this. If you are thinking of ordering from them go right ahead they get the :tu: from me.

    I had never ordered from them until the other day. I sold my FX1000 camcorder to them after no luck selling it on Craigslist. They quoted me $1100, but when I told them I wanted to buy/trade for another camera they gave me $1300 for it. Their prices are pretty low and their shipping was fast and free.
