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.

I bought a camera years ago and had a great experience then as well as now. Great prices and quality products. My only comment was that I would like to have know "what's in the box" as with some other sites. I was able to cross-reference the part number to find that on another site so I did finally find out. Thank you so much, I have been shopping for this camera for a long time.

Purchased a Nikon D750 (price seemed way too good to be true) on their website. I get an email saying I need to call them. After calling them, and having an incredibly frustrating and upsetting conversation with "Ted", which was riddled with one line quips and jabs (that sound like he's rehearsed and said them a hundred times before), I find out that the camera is not a US model, all of the language in the camera is supposedly in Korean and it does not include a charger or battery. He upsells me on buying a US model with battery and charger. He then tells me that he has to authorize my card, comes back and says my bank has put a hold on it... Maybe because it was such a big amount... I tell him, not there is no hold.
Then I tell him, "I just want what I purchased." Lots more excuses and one liners. At this point I was fed up and seeing way too many red flags so I said "cancel the order"... Lots of flack from him, making fun of me and being incredibly disrespectful... He finally says that it's my bank's fault, not his... But I need to call customer service tomorrow to get a cancellation notice... He somehow doesn't have access to that. He then tells me that will keep putting the order through until it's not declined unless I call customer service tomorrow. Tells me he's heard enough and hangs up on me. SUPER shady. I will be calling my bank tomorrow to make sure they don't charge me. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!! They are a scam!!!

Before I ordered I called to verify that the Canon EOS 77D camera contained a battery and charger - it did not. The website says that all manufacturer's items are included, BUT... not for the lower priced items. I was told it would cost an additional $150 for the battery and charger. The camera is a "grey" model and does not contain a serial number. You may have difficulty getting it repaired if needed. Typical bait and switch.

First try. I am looking to purchase a larger item next month, and this is just a test to see how well you guys do at filling and shipping an order, I am especially interested to see if tax is added to orders, because it makes a deal breaking item for larger purchases.

It seems so far to be a great place to purchase, the prices are very good and free shipping and no tax. Great saving. I just hope delivery goes off without a hitch, I do have a problem as far as their policy. I am not always available at time of delivery and if it is signed and not inspected and it is damaged I am out 1300.00. Not to keen on that idea. We will see.

Super easy check out with 6 month no interest financing. Best price found online for a new Canon 6D Mark II camera body. Originally was going to purchase thru a big box store and take advantage of their no interest financing, but Abe's price is approximately $400 cheaper. Wish I had found this site months ago. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Seems too good to be true, a Panasonic HC-X1000 for 30% less than Amazon! With 6 months free financing, I'm in! Hopefully not a scam. Even if it comes without a battery, like some people warned about other cameras, I can still pick one up at Amazon and save hundreds.

Purchased a Canon 5D Mark IV on their website. I get an email saying I need to call them. After calling them I find out that the camera is not a US model and that it does not include a charger or battery. They upsell me on buying a US model. I tell them, "No, I want what I purchased."

Abe's of Maine listed a killer deal for a brand new Sony FS7. Placed an order around midnight while online shopping. Around 9 AM I got a call from a sales rep asking if I wanted the 2 hr battery or the 5 hr battery. Was confused by this question as a current FS7 owner because I know it comes with a battery. Then he asked me if I wanted the US version or the Japanese version. Of course I want the US version with English lettering on the body. He says that will be an extra $700 for the US version. He told me I had ordered the Japanese version without a charger, battery and other accessories. I told him I'd call back. Checked the website again. There is NO INDICATION on the website that the version they're selling is not the US full kit, as would be expected.
So the call rep was gaslighting me, trying to convince me I was in the wrong and had ordered the wrong version. I called back and told him I wanted the US version at the price I ordered at or to cancel my order. Sounded like he was used to this and canceled the ordered right away. I don't appreciate the bait and switch tactic. He called and tried to upsell me to the version I thought I had ordered. Very frustrating and misleading. I also see they don't allow for a Google review. Shady tactics. Will never shop from them again.

I recently attempted to purchase a Canon lens that was priced significantly lower than all other competitors. As has happened on another occasion, the sales rep, Joseph **, called me to ask if I wanted the foreign model or the U.S. model. When I inquired about the difference I was told that the foreign model did not come with lens caps or a lens hood and that the foreign model is made in China, not Japan and would be a lesser quality lens. BS!
The price on the U.S. model would have been $300 more. Frustrated, I agreed. But, as before, my bank locked out the transaction. I cleared the lock and they tried it again but could not complete the transaction. This would have been my third purchase from Abe's. I have had transaction problems all three times! Finally, I told them to just end the transaction. Five minutes later I had a completed order from Amazon. No problems with the transaction whatsoever. Abe's is a very fishy company. Previously, I purchased a body only. It came in a Kit box. This means that they stripped the lens from the kit and sold the body solo. I've made my last dealings with Abe's.

Purchased a camera online then received numerous phone calls and email from Abe's of Maine stating that the camera doesn't come with a battery or battery charger. Seriously? I'm a professional photographer and I have purchased cameras for decades - they all included a battery and charger - so this is obviously a scam used by this company to increase profits. Shame on Abe's of Maine for this unscrupulous practice. B&H and other retailers are much better choices for your business.

2/1/2018 I ordered Sony A7s camera from http://www.abesofmaine.com. A day later I received email from them asking to call sale department. A salesperson tried to sell me a pack of additional batteries for the camera. I told him I do not need more than one battery. And this is when salesperson told me that camera does not come with battery or accessories. I asked why, and he told me that this is a camera that intended to be sold outside of US. Not a single mentioning about this on website or during online ordering.
At this point they also told me it does not have standard manufacturing warranty, and "we are mentioning this somewhere in a small font". I asked him to cancel order and salesperson immediately started bargaining and was selling me other cameras of the same manufacturing. All in all unpleasant experience and a waste of my time. And the fact that they are not mentioning the fact that this camera is "grey market" is not fair for consumers. There are a lot of businesses that sell "grey market electronics", but they all disclose this clearly.

I needed a Canon 35mm lens for my Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Abe's of Maine had a good price so I placed an online order with them. Their order reviews looked pretty good. I got an email stating I needed to call to confirm a few things about my order. When I called and spoke with Jeff he said the lens I ordered was just the lens. No lens covers, no bag, no hood. Just the lens. If I wanted the "retail packaging" it would be another $180. This was about the same price as other places so I canceled my order with Abe's of Maine and ordered it from another shop. Too bad for Abe's. I am also about to order the 50mm lens. That will definitely go to another shop also. This is just bad business.

Ordered a projector from their website and two days later called in to check on the status because I haven't received any update via email on the order. How fortunately I was by calling them! I found out that the one listed on their website was a grey market item, with no US warranty, but this info was not listed on their website. The item is listed as "New" with exactly same model number as listed on manufacturer website.
The customer service rep was pushing me really hard to ask me to pay extra to buy US warranty from them. I then said the original manufacturer warranty should be good enough. That's when the customer service rep disclosed to me that the item is a grey market item carrying no warranty at all. Then the customer service rep was trying to let me pay $300 extra to get their so called "US Model". What a bait and switch... That customer service rep was so rude that at one point I was even thinking this rep was paid by Abe's of Maine's competitor to piss off customers and get Abe's of Maine out business on purpose...

Ordered a camera in retail box from Abe's. Got the camera with the Sony provided components. But got a call before shipping from sales suggesting I get an extra battery and charger. So I went from 849 to $918 expecting I would now have two batteries and two chargers. Not so. They explained that the $849 was for the body only. Now, I don't know how you could sell a retail camera system which clearly lists the components including camera, battery and charger without the components. This is just a trick. So if Abe's calls you back suggesting you add some parts... forget it. That's their opening to jack up the charges. Won't be going there anymore!

Okay, in my original review, I gave Abe's of Maine a good review. After talking to some people who advised me to use caution, I gave Abe"s a call in regards to my order of a Nikon D850. This is where the trouble started and how Abe's skirts the letter of the law. When they advertise a price as they did with the Nikon D850 they state "BODY ONLY". Now that really isn't an issue because every single company out there that sells camera bodies only still gives you a factory box, strap, battery, charger manuals etc. In other words, everything from the factory, right? I've bought dozens of camera bodies over the years to know what a "Body only" comes with. Guess what? Abe's does not!! This is what they must do behind your back: They take the camera out of the factory box and that's all you get!! See, this is where Abe's skirts the law.
They can do this because the sales ad says, "BODY ONLY". So, technically, they aren't breaking the law. However, the unsuspecting consumer gets their camera only to find just a camera!! No strap, battery, charger manual nothing! Heck, not even the camera body cap that goes over the mount!! Unbelievable! The salesman, Ted, stated he would throw in all the things the camera should come with for an extra $150. The "Full Retail Kit" as he stated! Seriously! So, for a camera that every business in America sells for $3296 including everything, Abe's tries to swindle you out of an extra $300!!
I thank God my bank does not approve of an online transaction of a high amount unless I call to verify with them. "Ted" actually called me back and asked if I called the bank to verify the transaction and I gave him a dose of reality. I cannot stress enough to you consumers out there; BE VERY CAREFUL OF ABE'S. I would NOT EVER order something from them online. This business cannot be trusted to do what's right.

I ordered online a Zeiss Batis lens from this company advertise online on sale, I received an email followed by a message on my telephone on New Year’s Day January 1, 2018 stating to call them back to complete the purchase, from JEFF **. I did call back and spoke to Jeff **. He tried to sell the lens for more money. In his statements for the advertised price, it only comes with the lens and nothing else, no lens hood and case (which normally comes in the box when purchasing a new Zeiss lens).
Right away I sense that this not a good company to deal with. So I told JEFF ** to cancel my order. He informed me, that there will be a 15% order cancellation fee (which is not even completed as per the email) and, I protested about the fee, and told him that I am going to call my credit company, he arrogantly told me that they will win the case anyway and after a month will see the charges in my account.

He then told my wife I didn't have the balls to talk to him! Every negative thing we read about Abe's of Maine appears to be true. STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY. RIPOFF AND RUDE. BAIT AND SWITCH.

You have already bought the perfect Samsung television for your family and just need that perfect accessory to complete the entertainment experience. Abe's of Maine's solid reputation and ability to offer customized accessories for the movie and audio enthusiast got my attention particularly with the Samsung 2.1-Channel Soundbar w/ 6-1/2" Wireless Subwoofer.
I like its compact design and support for bluetooth devices. I also appreciate the fact that you can move the wireless speaker around the room. Support for Bluetooth means that this product is designed for someone like me who wants the best sound experience and the freedom to change my entertainment setup as needed. I recommend this device for anyone who wants a sound system prepared for future advancements in the way we consume audio. http://www.abesofmaine.com/Samsung_2_1-Channel_Soundbar_w_6-1_2_Wireless_Subwoofer_1000431.html

Recently bought a Canon Rebel T7i based on low price (a mistake). After the order was placed my wife was pressured to add a retail kit (turns out this all actually comes together in one box). When the camera was received it had no warranty information and it was labelled differently (an 800D). A phone call to Abe's was unsatisfactory so called Canon who explained that this camera came from the UK and would have to be returned there for any problems. They also said that Abe's was NOT a licensed Canon dealer (so buyer beware).
When we said we wanted to return the camera they said there would be a restocking fee (not mentioned at the time of sale), and it would be separate for the camera and the kit even though it was all one box. The fee was over $100!!! To put a box back on the shelf. Even though they received the camera back on December 11, 2017 as of December 27 (16 days) my diminished refund has not been credited to my account. I would certainly never recommend doing business with this company.

Please consider another photo supply retailer for your photography needs. I just placed an order for a Tamron G2 lens that they had listed on their website at $1075. Got an email asking me to call them and the guy I talked to said that the price for a lens w/ no caps or hood? He said a lens w/ all caps & hood would cost $1149. I told him that I was unhappy w/ false advertising by them and I wanted to cancel the order. He said it was their policy to charge a credit card $200 for an order of this size to be canceled.
I am going to file reports to every agency I can find, and I will see that the Better Business Bureau of the state of Maine is well aware of this transaction. It is a false way to confirm an order w/ nothing in writing as would have happened had we corresponded via email. Be very cautious of the dealer... I am sorry that I was so dumb as to not check reviews on them before committing myself to this harassment. The man I talked to was very unkind, and actually downright mean, and refused to listen to my request.
Updated on 12/12/2017: I just received the new Tamron 150-600 G2 lens that I ordered, and "Beware". I should have checked out Tamron's reports about companies that are selling so called Tamron built lenses, that are actually "aftermarket" products. The lens I received does not have Tamron's seal of approval on the package, and the serial # is not printed anywhere on the lens. Thus the lens is not a true Tamron product.
Now, I will see how "Steve" at Abe's of Maine handles my returning of the lens. I'll guarantee you that it'll be a real problem. But it will be returned and I will assure them that I will post reviews on their company's false advertising on every consumer reporting blog that I can find, and I will be in tomorrow to see my attorney about this. Abe's will be hearing from him. NOTE: please don't allow yourself to be sucked into Abe's of Maine's dishonest sales practices.

I recently ordered a camera from Abe's due to the advertised cost. Once the purchase was made online I received a call from the company telling me I may have ordered the wrong camera. The lady informed me I had purchased the "international" version of the camera and that I probably want the domestic one. I was told the domestic camera would cost more, but this one included the battery and charger which the other did not. I agreed to the new price but was weary. After I hung up I checked online and there was NO different camera option. I was angry that I had been taken advantage of a scam of additional pricing.
Then I checked online of the reviews of Abe's and it seems this occurs often. I tried to call the following day to cancel my order without ANY luck. No one answers the phone and I tried for over 3 hours. I also left 3 messages through their online customer service. No reply. The camera arrived yesterday and it all seems to be OK, however the Canon box was not sealed and it appears that the original manual is missing.

Black Friday special on Fuji X-T2 for $1295 with the same SKU# and Mfgrs. part # as all the other sites advertising for $200 more. I got the email to call and confirm the order... and it appears that I ordered the model that didn't come with a battery, charger, flash or even a box! They are not an authorized Fuji dealer either but I knew that going in. So to get the battery and charger, it was going to cost $1499, just like the other stores, but he was going to throw in one of those warranties that are only valid somewhere other than where you're at when you need it! Needless to say, I am not a Verified Buyer, just a lucky consumer who didn't fall for it and put a block on my charge card. I'll not be considering them for any future purchase either!

I later called sales to see if I had indeed placed an order, the rep that I talked to said he would check and place the order for me. The $1749 purchase now became over $2300 due to me having to buy insurance on the TV while the carrier had it. He also told me I lived outside the delivery are because of the zip code I lived in. This guy should lose his job, he also tried to sell me HDMI cables, I had plenty and he stated I needed special new cables for the model of TV I was purchasing.

Abe's of Maine advertises the Canon 6D Mk II body as selling for $1,619. Note; this is not a US model, does not include standard factory accessories such as battery, charger and strap. None of this is mentioned in their ad. Then Abe's calls and tells you if you want these items you have to pay $1,896. for the retail version. Note this is still NOT a US model and cannot be registered with Canon US as such. Misleading, intentionally false advertising. They call and shift to a higher price for something that should be included as standard factory accessories and you wind up paying full price for a European model or heaven knows what?
