    Ground shipment is via UPS. UPS breaks too many parcels. Items are frequently received in mashed and distorted boxes. Abe's shipping costs are too high for USPS Priority Mail. Difference between UPS and Abe's charges must be for extra profit. Don't like being called after a purchase so I cancelled the order.

    I tried 7 times to get in touch with customer services, many times the phone went dead when someone picked up. When I did reach CS I got the run around and took multiple attempts to straighten the problem out. I had a defective Nikon D500 "new" camera. I am currently on hold for 10+ minutes and just went dead again after it said please hold. I have learned my lesson and will NEVER use this poorly run company again. I suggest you find someone else with better customer care as well.

    Read the fine print. They said they would send ‘retail packaged’ camera and lens. Suddenly the price jumped 30%. Camera and box had differing S/N’s. Box was for a camera kit when my order was only for the body. The lens was a separate purchase. Those box and lens S/N’s matched. Neither had Nikon warranty paperwork. I got “Gray Market” equipment Nikon cannot warranty or repair in the future. I should have spent the extra $150 I ‘saved’ and bought elsewhere. Sending this order back would incur a $405 restocking fee, plus shipping costs. Buried way down in their policies paperwork they mention they are not authorized sellers for Nikon, Canon, Minolta, and many other brands of various electronics. So, I’m stuck with this “pig in a poke” purchase. Be wary when dealing with them.

    This company is running a scam from their website. If you google them there are many reviews, but they pay for fake reviews to offset the true negative ones. Even here on consumeraffairs.com all reviews are 5 or 1 star. The 5 star are from accounts with 1 review lifetime total. IT'S FAKE.

    READ THE 1 STARS.

    The scam they run is to advertise a low price and then when place your order they email you saying need to call JEFF ** at 800-992-2237 EXT ** to confirm the order. This rep will tell you that the item needs a battery (it's supposed to come with it) and other accessories and if you deny he will say what you purchased is on backorder for 6 weeks. When I asked to cancel the order 'Jeff' stated he CANT and to send it back or refuse shipping for refund. THIS IS PART OF THE SCAM. Their policy is to take 15% for any return or refused shipment and they charge you the shipping cost both ways!

    Jeff became extremely rude when I asked to cancel the order and refused to do so. He also claimed to be the manager when I asked to speak with one. When I pointed out that this is a scam and fraud he agreed like it was no big deal. This scam needs to be reported to their merchant services provider and local PD. Only after threatening to report this fraud was the order cancelled and refunded.

    They show a picture of a retail store and provide an address on their website. There is no real physical store. The address is of their dropship supplier. LAST THING beware that they are NOT Authorized Retailers of most major brands such as Canon, LG, Nikon, Panasonic, Tamron, Sigma, Samsung & Sony. YOU WILL NOT GET MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

    I am a disabled Veteran and funds are what they are. I was excited to get this camera at a great price and then minutes after I completed the transaction I received a call saying my order was complete and shipping. He then proceeded to say he was giving me a deal on a battery and other accessories, when I told him I did not have the funds for this he said, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS" with a raised voice and when I stated that I just didn't all of a sudden my camera was not in stock. I told him to cancel the order. Finally he stated he was giving it to me for free. Well I called NIKON and they stated that it comes with camera anyway. I was stuck.

    I read some of the reviews about Abe's of Maine, and most seemed as though people were complaining about a bad experience. After all, what were the chances I would get the exact. same. treatment.? Turns out, I did. One review stated that I would get a call from them with attempts to up-sell from what I purchased, and then be forced to either pay more or cancel my order. Some reviews even bought in, and paid the extra. Enter my gullible self. I placed the order, and eagerly awaited the confirmation that the order was shipped. I received an email, and quickly opened it to learn that I had to call to "confirm my order".

    I called "Jeff" at extension 272, and was asked if I would like the retail version of my lenses for an additional $300? In asking what the "retail version" was, Jeff informed me that the lens comes with a soft case and lens hood (for... $300). I told him I was all set, and he asked why, because "it's just better". I again told him no, and I was quickly placed on hold for about 5 minutes. When Jeff returned, he told me that they were out of one of the lenses I had ordered, and it was back-ordered for 6 weeks. I asked him about the other lens, and he states that he is now out of that one too. Before I could say much more, Jeff told me he was canceling the order, and hung up.

    Needless to say, I'll sooner check yard sales or the occasional dumpster before even considering wasting the energy on my battery to browse that scamming mess of a business. Do yourself a favor. If you found yourself considering any of the equipment they have for sale, go out to your car and slam any appendage of your choice in the door. By doing this, you'll experience MORE pleasure than buying something with this dumpster fire of a "business".

    The price for the TV was good with free shipping. But must pay insurance $300 and has taken 15 days to get. The shipping company is poor. Not any real tracking and very poor communication in replying to email and they don't answer the phone. Extended warranty the company Abe's use is the worst as I have never seen such poor rating at BBB and the comments all the same bad. Abe's is also not responsive after they sell and they push you like a used car salesman. Good price maybe but worry about warranty and shipping time. We to pay a bit more is worth the money.

    Abe's of Maine prices seem much lower than anyone else but that's because you don't get the camera you purchase. Just before delivery they call you to say that camera is on back order and you have to buy the whole kit. This is especially true if you're buying a body only. This happened to me twice but I'd forgotten or they were operating under a different name. They had me in their database. I managed to get them down to $30 above the original price but that was after much effort on my part. The kits may be a good deal for a novice photographer who doesn't have much but it's not an ethical way to do business.

    I have purchased various items from Abe's throughout the years. Unfortunately, my last two purchases from Abe's have been problematic. One camera, they advertise a great deal but when I order it on the phone they try to jack me up by making me buy items which normally comes with the camera such as a battery and the charger at an exorbitant cost. I wanted the camera so I complied and got everything. On this last purchase which came only a few weeks from my last one, I ordered another camera online but after waiting ten days I still saw no confirmation of having been shipped so I called. They did not ship it. They then try to sell me the charger and the battery again. I told them to send me the camera period. I will wait a couple of days and check again to see if they shipped.

    Several days ago, I purchased a Sony XBR-65X900F television on Abe's of Maine's website. The site clearly said "Free Delivery" and, when I completed my order, I was not told that my ZIP code was excluded from that offer. Instead, my order was accepted and I was informed that delivery would be in "7 to 10 days". Today, I received email from Abe's telling me to phone their 800 number "complete your order". I called as instructed and was informed that they could not ship my order to me because my address is "not in our service area". They then made some vague offer to ship it "UPS or some way" for "at least $200". I ordered this tv from Abe's because I had good experiences with them many years ago. However, I am canceling my order and plan to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for their false advertising.

Jennifer ** at customer satisfaction called me back and made a very unhappy customer happy again and in the process, saved a sale.

    Purchased Sigma 70-200 mm 2.8 lens. I received it on Friday after trying couple of times, realized that is it jerking quite a lot. Hence called on Monday to see what are my options. They were going send return label but no email from them. Called again on Tuesday, no one is picking up at customer service. Feels like they pick it up, put on mute and then disconnect. Tried Sales extension. That guy was forwarding it to Customer support without listening to my complete question. After calling 5-6 times, he threatening it that this is America and you have to have patience and hold on line. This is not foreign country where things will have with snap. He also threaten to block my number if I call again. He is not ready to listen at all. Now have to find other ways to handle this as this is quite expensive lens. Worst experience. Never going to buy again and will also tell friends and family to avoid such crappie fraud.

    I wrote a review that was incorrect. Abe's of Maine has always taken good care of my orders. When I wrote the previous email, I thought that I was communicating with Jeff and did the review as a joke. I regret my fooling around as it seems to have gotten misinterpreted. They are a great company and a pleasure to do business with.

    Original Review: July 1, 2018

    Called 3 times before making order to confirm what I was told be. I wanted to confirm that this was a US market camera, Canon D80, as I was told this was in a previous conversation. I am in my 70s and like to make sure everything is correct. I tried to call and place my order on the phone, tried 4 times only to be knocked off by the recording. I placed the order with the stipulation that it was US market equipment and not Grey Market.

I called and left a message and someone did return my call a day or so later. They wanted to sell me additional items that did not come with the lens. I declined the additional items, although they were pretty persistent on selling on them too and finally said they would just ship my lens. Well, as of today 6/6 I still do not have my lens and see they have sent more emails 'to call regarding my purchase'.

    I ordered the Nikon AF-S Fisheye Nikkor 8–15mm f/3.5–4.5E ED Lens, which on their site, is advertised at $1,099 showing "In Stock" and a "12% discount"...

    After placing the order, I waited 3 days and then received an email requesting me to call their customer service - I did, and spoke with a guy named "Jeff", who informed me that the lens I bought was a 'non-retail version' that did NOT include the lens cap, end cap, hood, or bag that comes with the 'retail version'(!?), and asked if I wanted to upgrade for $150 (which would have brought the final price inline with the normal MSRP). I declined and found the end caps and hood for $60 combined on another website. He said fine, and he said he would place my order for shipment.

    Two days later, I received a call from their customer service telling me that the lens was actually out of stock and they didn't know when it would come in. I immediately called 'scam' on them, and demanded to talk with a supervisor. They tried to connect me with one, but she apparently was 'in a meeting' and I received no further email from them.

    The next day I placed several calls and Customer Service was unavailable. I was able to get a hold of "Jeff" again through his hotline (he also seems to answer the "Sales" line), and after a few attempts to be patched through to a supervisor, read the other reviews on ConsumerAffairs, realized I was being played, and called back to cancel my order. Order was promptly cancelled, but not without a bit of wasted effort, and otherwise could have bought and received my lens elsewhere by now. Waste of time and effort.

    I ordered a camera lens. They called me and said the product does not come with lens covers or a tripod ring (the tripod ring is shown in the pictures.) The price with the items would be matching the price at B&H or Adorama as I discovered. He then threw in a free filter which had the desired result of me not completely considering what was going on. I then checked the manufacturer's website (I know - should have done that first) and discovered that Abes of Maine (located in New Jersey) was not an authorized seller of that manufacturer. I called Abes back to cancel - it had only been 15 minutes. I asked if they were an authorized seller of that manufacturer's product and, after repeating the question, admitted they are not and said they can service the product for 1 year.

    As far as cancelling the order, they first claimed they couldn't because it already shipped. I repeated that I was cancelling as I don't think it really had shipped that quickly. He then said he couldn't cancel because it was already 6:00 pm (EST). It was only 5:50 and I pointed that out. He then said what difference does that make. I said I am cancelling and he then responded by saying he couldn't cancel because it was almost 6:00. When I reiterated my cancelling of the product he acted mad and asked if I understood English. I doubt they are authorized sellers of any manufacturer's product which require it (such as photography equipment). So if you desire the manufacturer of the equipment to stand behind their product with their warranty - do not buy from Abes of (New Jersey) Maine).

    If I could give Abe's of Maine zero stars I would, that's how dissatisfied I am with this company. I was on the market for a Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 Lens for Sony E Mount and I found a really really good deal on Google - through Abe's of Maine. New the Zeiss Batis 18mm runs from $1,500+. Abe's had it on sale for $1,196 brand new with free shipping. What a deal right?! I thought so. So I purchased the lens through the website. Once I submitted my card information a phone number came up stating my purchase could not go through and to call the number to verify payment. So I call the number and I am connected to a representative from Abe's of Maine. The representative never once told me what happened and why the payment didn't work, he just stated he was going to connect me to a different line. I said okay, once the representative connected me to the other line he hung up.

    The line he connected me to ended up being my bank - Chase. My bank representative ended up cleaning the my purchase - due to thinking it was a fraudulent activity and they tell me to resubmit payment for the lens. I hang up with my bank and go back on the website to resubmit payment for the lens. Once I do this, I notice there are two open orders for the same lens. Abe's of Maine ended up pushing the first order through and then the second. So I call to try to get my first order canceled. I was on hold for 20 minutes when I realize they have a customer service email. I end up emailing asking them to close the first order. They ended up closing the first order and didn't even notify me that it was canceled. I found out by looking at my account on the Abes of Maine website. Whatever, doesn't faze me. I'm still happy about my purchase and CAN'T wait to get my lens.

    A few hours go by and I get an email from Ted. The email is requesting that I call him to verify my order. I figured it had to do with the cancellation of the first order. I call the next day. When Ted answers the phone he just answers it normally "Hello". I advise him I was calling regarding an email I had received from a representative by the name of Ted that advised to call this extension. His response is "oh that's me, what's your order number." I provide it to him and he goes on to ask if I meant to order two of the same lenses. I tell Ted no that I only want one and to cancel the second (which I thought had already been canceled anyways). Ted goes on to ask me what type of camera I have that I will be using the lens for.

    I tell him and he goes "Oh, well you have the American model of the camera and this lens is actually from "so and so whatever country he said" model. It won't have all of the same features as that will work with your American Sony model camera." I respond to Ted and advise him that that's interesting because the website says NOTHING about it not being an American model lens and it won't work with my Sony model camera. Ted goes on to ramble about the differences - I literally can barely understand him because he is just giving me a sales pitch. I then ask him how much the "American" model lens is and it's an additional $500 dollars. At this point I'm super frustrated so I ask Ted to just completely cancel my order, that I will do more research. He says okay and then goes on to ask me if I am a new customer with Abe's of Maine. I ended up hanging up.

    I go back on their website and see NOTHING about what Ted was talking about. I waited an hour and didn't see confirmation that my order was canceled and it says it's still "Processing". So I call the customer line and am connected with someone. I ask if my order is still processing, they advise it is and these lens are on back order, which is why payment hasn't been extracted from my bank account. I ask what the ETA is and she tells me there's no ETA as of now and that it could be a day to a month, who knows. I say okay, and hang up. I need this lens for a trip to Thailand and I figured, well I will give it a few days and check in. I ended up checking in today. Call the customer service line and request an ETA on the lens. The customer service person says please hold and let me look into it. I am on hold for 7 minutes and the phone is just ringing in the background.

    I hang up and call again. Ring ring ring and someone picks it up and hangs up on me. This happened 3 times. I end up writing on the email and ask that my order be completed canceled. Within 3 minutes my order shows as canceled. This is a long review but I wanted to give everyone a detailed experience with this company. I highly recommend you do not purchase from this company. The Customer Service sucks, they lack communication, everyone on the phone sounded miserable and they just upsell you or try to trick you into spending more money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

    On April 4th, I wanted to purchase a new Nikon D850. I had gotten a loan at my bank specifically for this purchase. On their site it states that "All Products include USA Manufacturer's Warranty unless otherwise stated." The website said that the camera body was in stock for the price of $3,249. Nowhere in the description of the D850 did it say ANYTHING about this camera being a non-USA model that was to be sold in Southeast Asia. The person I talked to (Jeff **) then told me that it was in fact not in stock, but I could pay more ($550 more) to get it in a kit that had extra items in it. Since the Nikon D850 was back ordered everywhere, including at Nikon USA, I decided to pay the extra for the camera body since I needed for upcoming paid jobs (I'm a professional photographer).

    The camera arrived 5 days later in the retail box that includes a lens (Nikkor 24-120 zoom). Upon opening the box, the lens had been removed, and the ONLY items in the box besides the camera body were a battery, battery charger, USB connection cable, camera strap, and the manual. However, there was NO warranty card in the box at all. On the outside of the box, it listed the included items, which are listed exactly as this: Strap, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, Battery Charger, USB Cable, User's Manual, and Warranty. So what Abe's had done was to strip everything out of the box that was SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED in the retail kit, and then charge me an extra $550 to add them back in the box. I then sent Abe's an email on April 7, the day the camera arrived, and asked them if I was charged an extra $550 to put the supposedly including items in the box that were normally included.

    I received an email on April 8 stating to call them on Monday so that their customer service department could clear up the issue. On Monday morning, after being on hold for almost 45 minutes, their customer service rep finally answered, who was also Mr. **, the guy who sold me the camera over the phone. What transpired next ended up being completely surreal. He started yelling at me, calling me a liar, and told me that he shipped me "exactly" what I ordered! I told them that I would then report them to the BBB, and then he started yelling at me not to threaten him! THIS was their "customer service" rep I was trying to talk to! I would NEVER order a gray market camera that costs several thousand dollars! A gray market camera comes with no Nikon USA warranty, can't be serviced at all in the United States, and if Nikon USA comes out with a firmware upgrade for the US model, it won't work on mine.

    The serial number for this camera body, after some internet research, showed that THIS camera was supposed to be for sale in Southeast Asia (It started with the numeral 8). All legitimate cameras for the US market start with the numeral 3. A couple of days later I sent their service department an email asking them to respond, and as of today (April 16, 2018) they have not answered back.

    I went and did a little more internet investigation and found out that they have dozens of complaints on the BBB, and literally thousands of complaints from all over the internet. Even NBC News did an article about their scam tactics. So to sum it up, I ordered what I thought was a USA Manufacturer's Warranty version of the Nikon D850 body, did NOT receive what I expected (bait and switch), and wasn't informed that I was ordering a gray market camera with no warranty, and since the transaction was more than $400, this has become felony fraud. And this company continues to operate with impunity in the state of New Jersey and needs to be stopped cold.

    Looks like a great deal on a 65” TV BUT after you order you will be notified that “insurance” must be added - website mentions possible insurance but since it is not included in agreed price you assume it is not required. WRONG. They called and said “insurance” was $388.00! Really reduces the bargain price and is VERY deceptive - they obviously know what the price of this alleged insurance will be and they just want to call and upsell you - turns a great experience into a terrible one.

    Do not buy from Abe's. Their website services and practices are deceiving. They advertised a lens on sale for March Madness. Nothing in the description identifies it as a "Grey Market or International Lens." I purchased online and got a call telling me my card was declined. I have verified with my bank that the card was NEVER declined for any amount. The caller then told me the lens was not in stock but he could give me a deal on a USA lens and through in some free shipping and lens filters. These items (except for free 2 day shipping) were already included in my original purchase.

    I called the following day to cancel my order and was yelled at by at Stephan and told my bank was lying to me about the declined amounts. Why would my bank lie to me??!! I have since verified it with my bank. They told me the lens had already shipped by 10 am the next day even though my account showed it had not shipped yet so they would not let me cancel the purchase. They have a 15% "restocking fee" that would have cost me $150.00 if I do send the lens back. Stephen gave me a $25 refund on the lens to appease me. I appreciate that but it did not satisfy my feelings of being deceived by Abe's of Maine.

    Additionally I bought a memory card holder that was on sale, marked down from $84.95 to $12.95. The photo is of a hardcover plastic card holder that will hold up to 8 cards. What I received is a pleather card holder that will hold 4 cards. A made in China (tag in it) that "MIGHT" cost $3.95 not on sale.

    I recently ordered a Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art lens. The price on the website was $659. Placed order. A few days later I got a call, to confirm my order, and was told that I ordered the international lens and it did not include lens caps hood or case that comes with the US version, and may not work with my camera (that should have sent up a red flag). I was offered the US version for $849. I reluctantly told them to upgrade (that is pretty much the going price everywhere) I told the guy on the phone that there was no indication that the lens I ordered was the international version on the page for the site. (See attached photos.)

    Looking further there is no other option on their website for the true US version. Just the version that is advertised. They suck you in with a good price then upsell you. Very false and misleading advertising. I will never do business with this place again. My advice would be to use another reputable camera dealer. Anyone that has bought stuff from them should check to see if you get the true US version or a grey market version that does not have a valid warranty. The lens arrived and looking at the paperwork that was included the lens, it IS the international version and does not have a valid US warranty. This is just true BAIT AND SWITCH. Do not do business with this place.

    The website shows the camera (Nikon D850) in stock, and it’s on sale for 3249.00 (47.96 discount). I go to place my order and guy is asking me if I want the 2 or 5 hour battery. I said, “Don't it come with a battery?” NO... battery and charger is extra. With battery and charger its 4200.00! I have purchased 7 Nikons new. They all come with a battery and charger. But NO LENS. So they want to charge you an extra thousand to include the battery and charger in the box. Stating that I am still saving MONEY, cause I would be paying 300-400 tax anywhere else and I get expedite shipping for free? CAN A RETAILER ACTUALLY DO THIS? I have purchased from this company in the past. Been in business with 1976. Just sad to see this kind of business. Will pay the 3299.90 at Best Buy and get it April 15th.

    Great price and very easy website to order from - 5 stars! Would recommend to all my friends. Lowest price I could find on the internet including Amazon and eBay. Also had a camera that was very hard to find in stock ready to ship, other sites had long waits and ETA was too long of a wait.

    Reasonable prices. Easy to understand website. No complaints so far. High prices on SD cards but very good deals on cameras. Clean layout. Bright colors. Nice variety of items. Love the name and would probably purchase again from this store.

    The ordering process was a bit difficult because they would like to have a password for my visa card. At least I will see when and in which time the camera will arrived. Hopefully I will get the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV fast shipped.

    I really needed some advice on my purchase however I did my own research for the past few weeks and was happy with the price offered by Abe's of Maine. I tried calling the store three times and waited over 20 minutes with no response. I eventually hung up and was disappointed and hesitant to order from Abe's. I may have purchased more and could have benefited from the knowledge of your sales staff however I am hoping the future will be better.

    Placed an order for an LG television for nearly $2K. Received an Order Confirmation-- showing total price with free shipping. Next Day I get a phone call telling me I need "shipping insurance" to protect my order-- for an ADDED COST of $303. So much for the "Free Shipping." What a sleazy way to do business.

    Ordered Nikon D750. Great price and simple checkout. I look forward to receiving my camera. I’ve been researching my new camera for months and this was easily the best price that I came across. I even considered a used camera and then found a brand new one through Abe’s cheaper than the used. Super pleased.

    Great Prices. These are self-evident. Trying to reach anyone by phone has been very difficult. I finally was able to speak to a human to confirm stock however, and they were quite pleasant. I can't say much more, as I haven't received any shipments, so I don't know how quickly they process, etc.

    Purchased a new Panasonic AG-UX180, when I received it it looked like the box had been resealed. After opening we check the hours on the camera and discovered it had 11 hours on it. All the factory setting had been changed. We have called customer service 3 times and left a message, but no return calls. I would not do business with these people again!!!

    I ordered the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Zoom Lens for Nikon which listed it was in stock. After they called to confirm order and I did not agree to any upselling, they said item was out of stock and cancelled my order. I returned back to the web page several times since then and item still states in stock. I am interested in ordering a couple of lenses, but now with this experience I'm hesitant. They do have better prices, but maybe if you don't agree to buy extra they cancel the order?

    Excellent, easy to navigate website. The checkout process is simple and straightforward, does not take a lot of effort. Out of several sites carrying the Nikon products, Abe's of Maine was at the leading edge on pricing. Free shipping and email follow up were very welcome. They do not try to add on a lot of extras and delay the shipment as do some of the competitors.

    Price seemed too good to be true. Of course you can't get thru to sales BEFORE you buy. After you purchase they call to confirm and that's when they hit you with the insurance charges which are excessive. But I still saved 21.4% over the local Sam's Club price and tax. 4k cables are included.

    I called both the 800 number and the local number and got put through a phone system that put me on hold then gave recording and hung up. I tried every option on the phone tree to get ahold of someone to answer questions I had about a product I was interested in. Finally after calling in 4 times I was able to leave a message. But still no person to answer questions. I did go ahead and purchase the product I am interested in with express shipping. So I will see how this transaction goes. I am hoping for the best.

    Found an attractive deal on Presidents Day sale and ordered a Camera. Just like others say here I got an email from Abe's of Maine to call the same old Ted at an extension. Put me on hold several times and tried up-selling batteries and other stuff - even though the batteries, lens cover, straps, etc., comes with the box. I didn't want to deal with such a seller while paying 1000s of dollars. Just called the sales and cancelled my order. Now I have to watch that they do not charge my credit card. This is a real headache. - Frustrated.
